That's a good point, maybe I will keep using my custom icons, they're just so pretty!
I really want to use them again like that guy made me realise that is not bannable but I think I will just play safe and use the default ones

Watch EAC ban 20k PC players without warning. Something tells me BHVR won't keep their "don't unban" mindset, as in physically unable to lose half their PC player base.
You are right but if there is a warning deleting the custom icons before the ban will help you not get banned or what?

Because they look amazing

I have looked it up. Dbd icon toolbox (which is the most used way to change the icons) is used by 20 THOUSAND people. The only source I found of someone being banned wa sa steam forum thread that clearly can't provide whether or not the person wa sonly using custom icons.
Yes they look amazing but there is always a risk when EAC updates and wants to check the UI files where the custom icons are and people that use them will probably get banned it doesn't matter that people have been using them for years and no one got banned, The future is what matters not the past. EAC can update in the future and check the files and even if the files are harmless it's still considered file modification.

Omg the paranoia in this thread is so damn real. @Tsela, no, they don't ban anyone for custom icons. Stop spreading misinformation.
@Dennis1242 you can safely use custom icons. I've been using them since 2017 and I'm still fine. EAC does NOT check the icon folder. EAC said themselves that they don't ban for it, ask BHVR, BHVR said they won't ban for it, ask EAC.
Of course the mods can't just say "use them". That could be easily used against BHVR in case EAC decided to ban someone. But they won't. It's been the same for as long as this game existed, and there is 0 reason for EAC to verify a folder that contains files that don't alter the gameplay in a single way.
I really don't know what to believe, some people said you can get banned and some people said you can't

well in the end they are not trying to ruin customers accounts because they hate their own players. So most bans happen for good reasons. Probably 80% of the people complaining about their bans on the forums are lying like there's no tomorrow about teh actual reasons they were banned for. But the devs will not tell us "how much is too much" just to not encourage anybody to do anything to mess with files, even if probably many light offenses were not acted upon most of the time. People do make mistakes. everyone knows that.
It's not like running across the street will get you a huge fine from cops every time. But don't test your luck.
Hell I was once caught by a cop for smoking in a park, and he wanted to fine me. This never happened, and I saw cops many times. I knew it's not nice or permitted from a 20 meter radius from playgrounds, but others were doing it also so.... Well anyway, it was a first. And... I ran away! lol But now I know that I can be fined indeed.
thanks for having time to answer all of my question my guy, Now I hope that I won't get banned for a mistake that I made a long time ago.

There were for example people banned in waves for modifying the files for legacy skins. Some people felt like they deserve those skins because they owned the game, but because this or that they didn't receive it. In any case, their best course of action would have been to open a ticket and explain the problem, not to do it themselves. So after some verification about when they unlocked the said skins and under dubious circumstances, they were all banned.
Now what you did is also modding the game so don't do it in the future, because it's risky. People were banned for example for FOV modifications, or simply for ultra wide screen mods they did in the past, because they were angry that the game didn't have proper ultra wide support.
Now you have to understand that EAC is not a perfect anti-cheat software, it mostly verifies third party programs you are consecutively running, and a bit of the game files. But if it didn't catch you right away as you started the game, probably you are safe now.
See you in the game!
Man you are smarter than I thought ngl, I hope I get you as a teammate so I can give my life to the killer for you to escape

I don't think they're that in depth, they're not the police, they can't deep dive into your computer and search up past files.
idk what to say about that, that means that if someone plays with cheats one game and no one reports him he can just delete the cheats and he will be fine.

well after a while it's pointless to worry about it. it's not like it will happen weeks or months later. It will be alright. Technically your intentions were not harmful, but when something catches you, it doesn't care about intentions, it just verifies game files. Right now probably you would be fine since it's a new patch, and usually they wait for things to settle a bit because people signal all sort of things without knowing, from corrupted files because of the patch, hardware issues preventing proper update, lack of disk space. And it will be alright, you should stop worrying about it right now. It's a word of caution, not a threat, and you know what to be aware of. Not something to worry yourself to death with. You will be fine.
Most ban waves happened as I recall from hacking, usually they were banned collectively, like many accounts at once. Even if not at the moment they were hacking the game or using cheats. But modded game file if it would have been caught already, you would have been auto banned already. I'm almost 100% sure that you will be fine, just it's not worth to risk it in the future.
Thank you, you are a smart man/woman.

I quit using custom icons too, I just deleted them and verified my game files, it's not worth risking all of my cosmetics and DLCs going away since it was a lot of money and time.
but if EAC decides to check UI files idk if they can now if you used something even if you deleted it you will be banned, I am scared of that too...

Stop panicking, it will be fine, I didn't want to worry you. I just told you what I witnessed or heard over the years of playing the game. Of course no dev will come here and tell you, not to worry because they don't want to encourage people saying "just a little bit is okay". But you are probably safe now. Just it's never smart to mess with game files when it comes to online games, we can mod our single player games all we want :) Stay safe and enjoy the wonderful game. I'm sure you will be fine, if you don't mess with it anymore.
thank you for your time spent to answer my stupid questions, I appreciate it! I will try to not worry too much anymore but still I will never forgive me for the mistake of using custom icons, I have learnt my lesson,I won't change the UI files of online games that use easy anti cheat anymore, I hope there are more people like you,have a nice day!

stop doing it, and hope for the best. You can't do anything to prevent or reverse a ban decision, but maybe you were lucky. Just don't do it in the future. Or do it but the risk and responsibility is yours entirely
I will never do it again, bro I had so much fun playing dbd before I heard that custom icons can result a ban in the future, now everytime I play I am scared that at some point I will get banned and all the hours,all the money that I have spend to buy dlc's and cosmetics will be gone.

you know as some other users reported, some bans might come in waves, basically when their modification was caught it was just reported somehow and they were banned later, even if at that time they didn't use the mods and stuff they had anymore. If you used stuff, and it was caught, you might get banned right away, or later, but nobody will take action to unban you for it.
is there anything I can do to not get banned? All I did was to use the custom perks and character portraits for like a month or two then I reinstalled the game like 4 times,completely reseted the game files and I verified the integrity of game files 3 times, If I will get banned is there any reason to play the game or to spend money on it anymore? How can EAC ban around 20,000 people for something that isn't cheating...

as they said, right? test at your own risk, it doesn't matter if you have or don't have modified ban at the time you get the ban
but how would they know you used them if you completely removed them? can they see deleted files or something?

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/3161459#Comment_3161459
clear and simple response.
Stop messing with game files guys, regardless of your reasons.
Hello I've got a question, what do you do if you just wanted to test the custom icons let's say you played a match with them and then you completely removed them,can you still get banned? will you be good even if EAC decides to check UI files?

It's a "won't" thing, not a physically unable to do. That is why we tell you that these things are done at your own risk...we do not promote altering game files in anyway.
I understand, thank you! btw the new chapter is amazing keep it up!
-
@Mandy said:
Any alteration of game files is done at your own risk. If EAC does trigger an automatic ban for these things, we will not be able to unban you.
Hello Mandy, thanks for your comment! but can you explain why the devs can't unban people banned by EAC? aren't the devs higher than EAC? I mean if they made the game why can't they unban people,i'ts their game not EAC's game.
-
I know that if the easy anti cheat system updates and checks the UI files of the game people that use custom icons will probably for file modification get banned but if you delete the custom icons from the game files right before the easy anti cheat updates will you still be banned or you are good? I mean will they really ban thousands of people for something like this...

You are still worried about this? If you're so paranoid about it, maybe you shouldn't use them 😕
I don't use them but I used them and I should have not, Until someone tells me that if I deleted them the risk of getting banned dissapears I will still be a bit scared
-
If I used custom icons for a few months and them deleted them that means that I will instantly get banned in the future when EAC decides to ban people for this?
-
@Hes1hp said:
Wdym exactly? With filters or color blind mode? Then no.
change the hue from nvidia control panel
-
this was the answer I needed, thank you
So the easy anti cheat system don't ban people for deleted files that you added only if you have them in the game files

I only recently started using custom icons and there is no replacing of files anymore. All the folders in the Icons folder are empty save for a single placeholder. Deleting the files and leaving the folders empty returns all the Icons to default without the original files needing to be there.
But if you had them in the game files and you deleted them is there any chance of getting banned anymore?
-
@Hes1hp said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/3144694#Comment_3144694
Thats outdated information. This has changed because with icon packs now you no longer change files. You add them to folders where the original files no longer exist. BHVR left that option there on purpose and by that avoided false bans from EAC. Using custom icons is the safest it's ever been
what do you mean by that?

@My_Aespa said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/3144844#Comment_3144844
If it makes you feel better, I also just downloaded icon packs so... 😄
Idk I just don't want to get banned
-
@My_Aespa said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/3144828#Comment_3144828
Well if you want to completely make sure, just uninstall the game, make sure you completely get rid of any icon pack tools or mods you used, re-install the game, and validate your game files. I'm sure you'll be fine 🙂
I hope you are right
-
@My_Aespa said:
You might get the exact same answers. I would just trust the ones who say you won't get banned by Steam or the mods, but if EAC picks something up (we can't answer how it goes about that), and you get banned for it, there is no unbanning it. So do it at your own risk, that's all we can help you with.
Ok thank you but isn't there anything to do to make the chances of getting banned dissapear?

Nobody is going to ban you for custom icons, EAC doesn't ban for it.
Wait do you have a youtube channel with 2.7k subscribers?
-
@My_Aespa said:
Didn't you just ask this question on another thread a little while ago?
A similar one sorry for asking again but I really wanna know this, I want to make sure that I can't get banned for using them and then deleting them. I won't ask again.
-
@GoodBoyKaru said:
If you delete your custom icons, replace them with the original ones or validate your files to get them replaced instead of just deleting them. I haven't been banned yet (touch wood) and I've been using them for a while.
but does the chance of getting banned dissapear if you replace them with the original ones? Like you deleted what you added so isn't it the same thing as if you never used them?

@My_Aespa said:
I'm not sure if the forums are the best place to admit that you're changing game files, since DBD mods run the forums, but I'm not sure if you will get in trouble since they are just visual? Someone else correct me if I'm wrong though.
Devs said the don't have a problem with custom icons

I ask this question because I am curious
