Regarding sound mods and setting config.blk to read-only

[Wheredego]

I know sound mods are currently disabled… but regarding the trick where you can set config.blk to read-only, assuming the game even lets you log in at all, could this get me banned? I am not exactly modifying the sound files themselves, everything still lives in the mod folder. I just want my RCSM :( I don’t care if i crash every so often (that already happens normally because of nvidia’s terrible drivers) I know that sound mods already carry a risk of getting you banned but still.

I wouldnt risk it tbh, but i hope there will be an update on soundmods soon.

@Wheredego

could this get me banned?

There is probably a risk of that yes. If circumventing an intended restriction to modify game files into something not present in the original game isn’t a ban risk then i don’t know what is.

Even the original sound mods aren’t directly safe either. It’s even then at the users own risk.

@Stona_WT

Be careful! Sound modifications, if not executed perfectly, are capable of leading to problems operating the game and may even harm your health!

Any individual that creates custom sound modifications, modifies the game’s audio files, or makes use of sound modification files created by any other person, does so at their own risk, and we (Gaijin) will take no responsibility for their, or anyone else’s, use of those modifications.

Ah i guess that settles it, i just hope they come back in the next major update
