Delta Force developer Team Jade is warning players against modifying the free-to-play shooter’s game files, after catching some doing it to change in-game assets. Team Jade assures that it’s already taken action against accounts it’s found maliciously editing the game like this, as some players are even sharing how to change the game online.
Delta Force is enjoying quite the surge on Steam at the moment, as eager players continue to revisit the shooter. The multiplayer FPS game has even hit a new all-time peak on Valve’s platform, as Team Jade continues to update and improve the experience. It hasn’t all been good, though, as some bad actors have been altering the game’s ini files to make advantageous changes to the game.
Team Jade has penned a new statement warning players not to adjust these files and violate the game, or otherwise face the consequences.
“Recently, we discovered that some players claim they can optimize game performance by modifying in-game configuration ini files. However, after investigation by our security team, we found that most players are maliciously modifying ‘XXX.ini’ files to make unauthorized changes to in-game scenarios such as: grass, trees, smoke, characters, and scene brightness during matches,” Team Jade writes.
“Our security team has also discovered that some players are promoting and teaching these methods on public social media platforms, with a small number of players spreading tutorials on websites and profiting from them. These actions seriously violate the Delta Force security guidelines, severely disrupting game balance and the fair and healthy gaming environment we have been working hard to create for all players. We have already taken action against the relevant accounts immediately.
“Here, the security team asks all players to abide by game guidelines and not to modify game configuration ini files without authorization, or engage in any similar violations. Once discovered, violators will face a seven-day account ban. If similar behavior is found after the ban, we will impose more severe penalties.”
Team Jade also asks players to report any and all inappropriate in-game behavior in an effort to maintain a fair environment for everyone. To close out the statement, the studio promises that it will “continue to take action against all violations of game rules” going forward.
