Now to make things happen, let’s say the demand has to be properly done. “There is always possibilities to have games adapted on PC and the good news is that Dark Souls is not a 100% typical Console game so the adaptation is possible. It only caught on after a petition started in January 2012 at the suggestion of Bandai Namco administrator Tony Shoupinou. The developers didn’t consider PC when designing Dark Souls. Back when Dark Souls came out in October 2011 for consoles, Bandai Namco didn’t have to worry about people cheating because sufficient protections are in place already within the hardware. Why is it such a widespread issue in recent years though? Part of the answer to this lies within the past of From Software’s involvement with PC gaming. But they also point out the likelihood of the x360ce controller emulator factoring in as well, considering that it caused issues with Dark Souls II previously. They believe save backups and game crashes are prominently involved. The thread also had ideas of the actual false flag source. The bottom line is display related programs you use for gaming are probably not the source of being falsely flagged as a Dark Souls III cheater. The group concluded programs such as ShareX, f.lux, DS3Tool, Windowed Borderless Gaming, and DS4Windows are also safe. Things the thread determined as almost definitely safe from causing a false flag were SCP Drivers and Shadowplay. The collective input and feedback of the Dark Souls III community put together a consensus of findings. At the very least, we need to demand an explanation beyond radio silence and “invalid data detected” - a vaguer bit of information than vanilla Dark Souls 2’s storyline.” All of us need to contact FROM and Bamco on their twitter pages, email, anything we can in order to let them know that this is NOT OKAY - or alternatively, to get some sort of statement. For others who have unjustly been affected by this ban, we need your stories and experiences about it as well. “If you’re one of the lucky ones who hasn’t been affected by the unjust softban, please don’t just move on from this post - nobody knows what triggers it, so it could be something as simple as having a certain program installed on your computer. The subreddit thread where this concern was first brought to attention is now filled with 2265 comments. Unfortunately this problem is widespread within the Dark Souls III community, meaning that gamers all have to rely on each other for troubleshooting if Bandai Namco can’t clarify these issues for them. ![]() Failing to do so causes the “You have been Penalized” message. Players need to erase or remove whatever this anomaly is, even resorting to erasing entire save files if necessary. The “Invalid Game Data” message is a warning that you acquired something that the Dark Souls III anti-cheat system considers to be an outside hack or game mod. “ Invalid Game Data“ and “ You have been Penalized“ are involved in the warning process. ![]() ![]() ![]() There were actually two different error messages. Hidden deep within the Bandai Namco knowledge base, an official answer was presented for this specific problem. “Our team will review their account information to see if the player has been using any sort of hack/cheat or if the flag was a false positive,” said a company representative.” “Bandai Namco told me it’s possible some accounts have been flagged wrongly, and they’re going to examine each report. Pop-ups like this one appear to both legitimate Dark Souls III players and hackers alike.īandai Namco made this statement to Kotaku this past week, addressing the concern. But recently, it’s been reported that legitimate players are taking the same heat as cheaters are.
