A Quick Warning About Using WeMod

[Zed Clampet]

WeMod is a popular tool that you can use to mod single-player games. It comes with pre-made mods that you can download and use when you play. Unlike CheatEngine, it cannot be easily used to modify any games not listed on the WeMod site, and the site explicitly forbids trying to use it to modify multiplayer games.

Unfortunately, some very intrusive anti-cheat software is now able to determine if you have WeMod installed on your system. What is worse news is that most TOS for multiplayer games state that you are not allowed to have any cheat software on your system. The worst news of all is that at least a few players who have WeMod downloaded for a single-player game are being banned from multiplayer games. There is some evidence that this is happening right now with Dune Awakening.

So the warning is that if you have WeMod installed on your system that you delete it before attempting to play any multiplayer game.

I ran into problems like this with 3D Vision. We would often need to run mods that did shader hacking to make the 3D work well. I ran into some game with a big multiplayer component that refused to run because I had 'cheat software' on my machine.

I can see why it happened. There's no way the game was going to be able to tell a mod that fixed 3D from a mod that made walls go to 20% opacity. Still, it was pretty intrusive, especially given that I would have happily agreed to turning off whatever multiplayer option was in the game.

I can't remember for sure what happened in the end. Heck, I can't even remember what game it was.

Is this the tool that i see being promoted on youtube these days? i personally don't use it, but it should be added as an exception if its for single player stuff. Then again, perhaps the coding underneath is what anti cheat is sniffing for. if t could be used in SP theres no reason to think with some tweaks it would be possible to be used in multiplayer conditions. Especially in Coop i guess.

WeMod is more trouble than it is worth and i got it via another site back door.

I went on fling trainer site to try and stop cheaters hitting me on a well known game and yes by getting the trainer i guess i was now joining the cheaters but i just got peed of. I clicked on the fling trainer i wanted but when i did install the package it turned out to be a wemod hack. I did not get a battle because at launch it was detected and i was kicked off.

I went to fling for a dungeon games hack because the game did not have a difficulty setting and ended up with wemod again. After running the hack for about 2 hours i was told i had used my daily allowance and ask to pay to continue.

When you get rid of wemod you need to go into appdata/local to get rid of the folder that windows did not remove and you also need to run ccleaners reg cleaner tab or weird things will happen.

Whenever i download something i have not used before i test it on my spare pc before deciding weather or not to put it on my games rig

I know that their are better programs around than ccleaner but i tend to stick to utility type programs that i know i can trust.

This is why ... many years ago i used a duplicate file/folder removal program by toni arts that is no longer available. When i ran it i thought it was searching for duplicates and that it would stop to show me what it found. I only realised something was wrong when it started showing games folders . Worst still it was not building a list as it was running .... it was actually running and showing me what it was deleting.
I had no choice but to do a clean install of windows.

I stopped using CCleaner after one of their updates included malware:

CCleaner Compromised to Distribute Malware for Almost a Month

Version 5.33 of the CCleaner app offered for download between August 15 and September 12 was modified to include the Floxif malware.

that sucks. i don't install ccleaner, but i use it a lot to clean up pcs and also as a tool to delete viruses etc. maybe time to find an alternative ccleaner methinks.

@Pifanjr i did not click on the link because i know what happened ... in england the computer magazines reported ccleaner installed nasty stuff to do all sorts of damage... and yes it did happen ... and they openly admitted it was a rouge employee who did it .... they even told users how to get rid of the rubbish and posted links for you to get older versions of ccleaner so that you could get past the rouge update.

One thing you do have to watch is since avg took over ccleaner they try to sneak in their av software but your own av should flag unwanted pup and destroy it
