Update on Game Bans and Enforcement

[p]Hello Survivors![/p][p][/p][p]We’re seeing questions about game bans appearing on Steam, so let’s be very clear.[/p][p][/p][p]We have moved from our internal ban system to Steam’s official game ban system. As part of this transition, all bans past and present are now being issued through Steam.[/p][p][/p][p]This includes:[/p]

• [p]A backlog of previously banned players[/p]
• [p]Newly banned players caught cheating[/p]

[p][/p][p]Our game is free-to-play, and as a result we see frequent abuse attempts using tools such as Cheat Engine and similar software. These are detected, logged, and acted on.[/p][p][/p][p]If you see a ban on Steam:[/p]

• [p]It is the result of cheating[/p]
• [p]It is not a mistake or a “new system bug”[/p]

[p][/p][p]Bans issued through Steam are permanent and will remain on record. Attempting to evade bans or harass staff will not change the outcome.[/p][p][/p][p]Play fair, don't cheat.[/p][p]
Cheers,[/p][p]PS: You can appeal any bans via our Discord server.
