Xingcode doesn't block mods, you never played it on sea servers, na/EU.
i live in indonesia so obviously i do play it in SEA server, i have level 59 lahn with 250gs in that server, and even buy the legendary package. but in the end, i play gamezbd coz the mod doesn't work anymore in SEA, it's hard but i just need boobs and vagina.
tbh i don't know and i don't care, what anti-cheat is used by other retail servers, and which part of the system that block the mod. but the fact that the mod doesn't work on SEA with the god damn xigncode3 and the fact that the mod work on gamezbd with the smart guard (i correct my statement above about gamezbd using gameguard) is a fact that actually happened. the xigncode3 loading speed after u launch the game is much faster without the modded files, at least for me.
fyi, i don't know if this crap is really matter. but i've tried some experiment, so i once tried copying the game original folder to my external hdd and installing the whole part of the mod in the copyed folder. after that I look for a pad file that has been modified via the meta injector cmd and i found 3 pad files that i though were the modified files. then i copied that 3 files alongside the pad0000.meta to the original game folder which was not modded at all, of course before i launch the game i eject my external hdd that contain the mod .exe files (coz someone says something like permanently delete the .exe files but i do it with my own way) and copied it after the launcher patching is finished. lastly after copying the modded files and after patching perfectly done and the mod .exe files is gone... i put my second password, then i've receive the god damn warning coz using the mod.
so why do i have this dumb idea? coz in the gamezbd u don't need to run meta injector every time u launch the game. just make the backup of pad0000.meta file that has been modded and copy paste that file again after the launcher patching is finished.
one more thing, after i've recieved the god damn warning that told me to force check the whole game which is literally downloading that 30gb stupid thing again and then the game force close, i delete the 3 files that has been modded before with the pad0000.meta file and copy paste the original pad00000.meta file which is not modded. bam! hwala! no need to force check and re-download, i can play it like nothing happened.
the point is, the one that got check by the anti-cheat is not only the .exe files but the modded files too.
