Marvel Rivals Bans Mods For The Game
With the graph still rising, we cannot deny the success of Marvel Rivals. But not all for the Marvel shooter was right with the latest season. Netease Games added a new system to detect and deny modifications of game files. This means, that if you were using some goofy costumes, you must avoid them from now on.
Netease has implemented asset hash checking through the update which made this possible. The company mentioned that modifying game files violates policies and poses security risks. In a response to IGN, Netease Games says, “It is not recommended to modify any game files, as doing so carries the risk of getting banned.”
Regardless of this, the Marvel Rivals concurrent player count is getting a new high thanks to the massive Season 1 update. What are your thoughts on the game-breaking its own record? Do tell us in the comments.
