loadingdo.blogg.se - Civ 6 mods disable achievements

If the Endless Legend/Space had a persistent progression system, then I'd agree that mods would ruin the experience. Hell, you aren't even unlocking anything usable even for singleplayer. How is anyone harmed by people using mods in singleplayer? "The community" is not an argument for singleplayer: no one looks at your stats, you aren't getting any advantage over anyone else in a competitive mode. What does this tell us? People don't use mods to abuse the system, they play with mods to have fun. Example: the achievement for beating the game on hardest difficulty has been earned by 1,9% of players of Civ5.

This has not led to people abusing the system. Let's take the example of the Civilization series: you can play with mods AND earn achievements. Result: people aren't using mods and other people don't bother making mods, knowing that they won't be used. Moreover, it's very self-defeating to try and get a mod community going (an obvious goal of Amplitude, why else would they add Steam Workshop support?) but then penalise everyone using mods. Currently, even purely graphic mods like more faction colours or UI changes also disable achievements. If anyone wanted to cheat, he'd just use an unlocker and 100% all the achievements with a single click, not bother to play the game with mods that may or may not make getting an achievement easier. There are simpler ways to unlock achievements than by playing with mods that make things easier. Mods are very popular (and useful) with their games, yet you need to play vanilla to get achievements.

So with regards to achievements, everybody should be on the same level - which is either vanilla, or a fixed set of mods which are "approved" by the devs & community.ĪFAIK, other publishers see this the same way, e.g. There's IMO no way that you can make sure that cheaters won't use mods in order to get achievements more easily. It would be real nice if you do this for the other Endless games as well. It helps no one (doesn't protect the achievements from cheats) and harms people that would like to play the game with some mods and unlock achievements along the way.

Even if a mod is equivalent to a cheat then what's the real harm done? This is a 4X game, almost everyone plays it in singleplayer, there are no online ranks/unlocks and if anyone really wanted to cheat to unlock achievements then there are at least two much easier ways to cheat than by making an overpowered mod and then playing the game.įor all these reasons, I beg you to remove the check that disables achievements if mods are enabled.

Not all mods are boosts/cheats: for example the expanded colours mods are purely graphical.

You've been trying to popularise a mod scene, that's why you added Steam Workshop support but disabling achievements makes people, like me, avoid using mods.

I've read that playing the game with mods enabled will disable achievements.
