Need EAC OFF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT

NOTES--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-This mod has been made and tested to work with 7 days to die 1. 0, it

doesn't necessarily work with newer or older versions of the game.

-In case you want to use it on a dedicated server both server and client need to install it.

-This mod has not been tested on dedicated server, if it works on single

player should work fine on multiplayer too, but for obvious reason I

can't test it and make it work on every server that wants to use it.

At the moment some people have experienced different errors on dedicated

server, so my suggestion is to test it on a new world before adding it

the older ones.

-This mod it's not supposed to work with Ravenhearst, War3zuk, Darkness falls and other mods that apply changes

to weapons, weapons crafting, weapons stats, weapons accessories

and perks trees. It could work but will cause some issues that can break

the game, there will be no fix for this.
