The simplest way to do this is to switch to an older save. As per this description from Namco Bandai, that message is your heads up that something iffy has been detected (modification of data, etc).Īccording to Namco: “ During the time that the warning message is displayed the end user will have a chance to completely remove any such external files, mods, cheats/hacks or delete their game save (if alterations were performed to it or hacked items/equipment were obtained either as a direct cheat/hack or via unknown “gift” from an online player).”īasically, during this period you still have a chance to revert your character and avoid harsher punishment (softbanning).
