Is using Cheat Engine to add credits in Single Player liable to get someone banned?

The title is the question; is using an .exe editor to change the amount of credits I have in singleplayer bannable, or not? I've heard that modifying single player isn't bannable but many people have been banned for altering EMS and GaW. At the same time, modded coalesced.bin files have not been cracked down on. So I need to know from someone in BioWare or EA if it's 'legal' or not.

    Single Player mods/cheats are fine.


    Multiplayer cheats are liable to get you banned when caught.

  • I have been using CE to increase my credits / resources since launch. I also modified game war assets via my savegames. It's perfectly fine to do that.

    Do NOT use CE in multiplayer.Do NOT modify your ini files for MP cheating. You *will* get caught and banned.

    Single player, fine

    Multiplayer, bad.

    Should I worry about being connected to the internet or is that not a problem? I still don't really trust EA when it comes to this stuff.

    As mentioned above, BW/EA have no issues with mods in single player.

    Multi-player is a BIG no no.

    I'm going to need to lock this thread due to avoid further "necro-posting". That is against the Answers HQ rules. Please create a new thread for this issue. Thank you.
