Community patch / Anticheat

The community patch portion of this mod is similar to Blue Sentinel for Dark Souls III. It aims to mitigate the damage that malicious cheaters can do, and allows you to identify, kick, and block them.

All in all, Blue Acolyte has various different patches for cheats which range from simple annoyances like being crashed to game progression soft-locks and save file bricking.

In the case that a cheater still manages to ruin your save file, the mod also automatically creates backups of your save file whenever a new multiplayer session begins. This way even if something gets by the mod, you can restore a backup and not lose too much progress on your characters. If this happens please let me know and I'll try my best to block the cheat in future updates.

Please note that this tool cannot identify cheats not sent over the network to begin with, and is not a catch all solution to end all cheating.

Quality of life improvements

The quality of life portion of this mod includes:

• []Accurate ping measurements to each player, complete with basic statistics such as minimum, maximum, and average ping.[/]

  []Integration of Steam blocking for malicious players[/]

  []Save backups when entering a new multiplayer session[/]

  []Invasion overhaul, where using the cracked red eye orb will search all maps for potential invasions, as opposed to just the place you're in, similar to the Wex Dust* mod for Dark Souls III[/]

  []The cracked red eye and blue eye orbs are no longer consumed on use[/]

  []You can view your session time remaining in the overlay[/]

  []You can enable infinite SM matchmaking upwards (meaning you will be able to invade anyone above your current SM)[/]

  []You can see whether the host of the world has a giant seed active which makes enemies aggressive toward invaders[/]

  []You can specify the boot volume of the game, to save your hearing from sound of the main menu[/]

  []Several game bugs are fixed such as invisible crossbow bolts from other players[/]
