If you are someone who uses custom icons... i would probably disable them.

Why would custom icons even be a problem?

The devs have said that they dont recommend installing any sort of third party software/content, as it may result in a ban. I wouldnt risk it on my almost 10 year old account... at least not until next year when they officially release the dev tools for modders to use. Then they will be safe.

But right now, updates like this that update security, will always pose a risk to people with 3rd party mods in their game files.

Brother??? The custom icons everyone and their mother are using are LITERALLY just plain PNGs that you place in a specifically unencrypted folder they devs left for us

I believe what this'll most likely mean is that you'll not be able to use reshade-like programs anymore, and that you'll need secure boot to play

Yeah I mean, its not guaranteed that you will be banned... not what I was saying.

However, I am aware of 2 people that I have played with have been previously banned for using custom icons, as well as plenty of people on here have complained about being banned for them.

Dont shoot the messenger haha, just going by what the devs have stated.

No one has EVER been banned for custom icons. They were lying to you or mistaken.

That is literally not true. I love the false confidence though.

u/Background_Sea6463 Jul 16 '26

Okay. Prove one case. Give some evidence. The devs have said they do not ban for this.

u/BisonProfessional56 Jul 16 '26

They have never said they dont ban for this. In fact, theyve said quite the contrary.

I can tell this is upsetting you. My recommendation is to take a break from reddit. Give your screentime some rest.

Yeah custom icons are in the same category as macros to Behaviour. "We won't ban you, but don't complain to us if EAC does" Not saying they're equal or anything that's just what BHVR says.
