KyoukiDotExe 231 Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) What is the stance on login screen removal? I basically involves renaming a file to another file to prevent the animated login screen to load, is that something that could trigger BE or a bannable offense if seen? It basically has 0 impact on game play anyway but it does slightly break ToS as it modify the original file structure but it does not modify the file directly.

It doesn't trigger BE otherwise we would have heard complaints about it already, but the second part (about it being bannable) would still be nice to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 9, 2018 i'd assume so since it's one of the things the advanced apb launcher can do (citation needed?) and the AL is cleared so... 2+2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't done with the advanced launcher, this basically just replaces the login scene (with all those cars and whatever) with a simple grey one if you combine this with removing the first 2 loading videos your game launches a lot quicker Edited June 10, 2018 by Kevkof added more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobii 346 Posted June 10, 2018 It's against the TOS, like everything else. Is it a .ini file? no? Against TOS. Will it get you banned? Most likely not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically it doesn't modify anything but I'd assume it would fall into that category since it's not there by default. 13 hours ago, sijws said: he might be better off waiting for a reply from the "Community Manager" or the game director that post on the forums regularly : ) he might be better off not wasting the time of support asking a question they wont know : ) he might be better off not waiting 20 days for a response : ) you might be better off not wasting your own time replying to threads with useless suggestions : ) I still want to know an answer to this. Getting banned over something like this would be silly and I just really want to know where their thoughts are right now on this subject. It does not impact gameplay so I guess it would be fine. 13 hours ago, Kewlin said: Sorry for trying to help? Did I do something to make you mad? I'm confused. . . Also, why would support not know?

I've specifically posted it on the forums rather than creating MORE support tickets which are suppose to be for SUPPORT. 2 hours ago, Tobii said: It's against the TOS, like everything else. Is it a .ini file? no? Against TOS. Will it get you banned? Most likely not. That is correct, and that is exactly why I would like to know their stance on it. Not taking any risks here. Just want an upfront reaction. Like if it doesn't impact gameplay, would it matter for LO? 1 hour ago, GhosT said: Didn't matt say that he liked it and that it might come back?
