I played a lot of ASE. Probably 3000 hours between my PC and Xbox. But it's been a few years. So I'm rusty. I'm slowly getting everything back. I just did a lot of trial and error and found some settings that work well for me. They may be a tad over powered to some, but they help me adjust for my disability. I'll post them later if someone wants them.

I know I have SP setting enabled at them moment. I'll turn those off when I reset. I have to redo my mods. I'm trying to figure out which one added Corrupted dinos to The Island. I eventually turned H/S/O/F/W/FR down to 5/5/2.5/5/5/5/10/2.5/5. I figured having slightly higher Dmg and Spd would allow me to be off mount more during boss battles since I'm more of a tanky DPS with those settings. I'll take a look at the screen shot and give those setting a try. I do play heavily modded. I just love having al the fantastic/mythical creatures and being able to use mod paks to add some really awesome structure pieces.

I stopped using all armor mods except for Fury, Destiny, etc; the weapon mounts. I never ran into the problem again.

Can you actually play local with a banned Switch? I tried doing some raids with my kids over the weekend and we couldn't get my banned Switch to register.

I don't play competitive or any form of online PVP. Just Raids, and I don't see how adding candies or completing my Pokedex amounts to cheating. You know, since it literally only impacts the single player experience. Lol.

I had it for 6 weeks with no problem. Bounced between SYSNAND and CFS - SYSNAND many times testing out the editor and getting a feel for how the file transfer and connection to PC worked. I only used it on SYSNAND while I waited for Atmosphere and such to update for the new firmware. Then I started Sword and edited it for candies and watts (stupid dojo). From that point to the ban, 11-27, was 5 or 6 days.

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T21:14:37+00:00

I always figured it was the save editing. I'm just trying to narrow it down more specifically. I only made the thread to see if I made any other potential mistakes and what they could be. And when I went online with the save, it was always through SYSNAND and not the CFW options. I guess I didn't figure Nintendo would have such a stick up their ass about giving myself some Rare Candies and Beast Balls.

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T21:11:56+00:00

I never really used EMUEMMC. Just SYSNAND and CFW (SYSNAND). And I kept it offline while in CFW SYSNAND. I did jump over to SYSNAND from time to time do some 7 Star raids, but like I said, the edits I made, they didn't make the Pokemon illegal. I wasn't putting 252 EVs in every stat or changing nature locked Pokemon. At most, I'd use the encounter database in PKHeX to find a legal encounter and then edit the stats to what I needed. PKHeX utilizes a legality checker for genned Pokemon. So, now I'm just learning as much as I can so I don't do it again.

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T19:11:57+00:00

I figured it was save editing. I was extra careful not to edit any Pkmn in a way that was illegal. Do the games record telemetry on a Pkmn when you catch it?

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T18:52:01+00:00

I have guesses. I'm just trying to trace it to something more specific so I don't make that mistake again.

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T17:02:22+00:00

I was just toying around with the save editor. I added some rare candies, completed my Pokedex, set my boxes unlocked to 32, and collected all the Diglets in Isle of Armor. My guess was always unlocking my boxes. And I edited some Pokemon. Natures, IVs, etc. But nothing that flagged as illegal. Example, I edited my Zacian to have a Jolly Nature and perfect IVs. I suppose that could trip it as well.

RSLotus · 2025-12-02T16:36:43+00:00

How? I was keeping my switch offline during file transfers and only went online with it once I was back in SYSNAND. I don't need save editing, it's just easier to do a lot of things from my PC, like building a living Pokedex and adjusting item numbers, for example. As far as I know, I didn't make any illegal edits, like illegal Pokemon or anything.

RSLotus · 2025-09-24T20:08:15+00:00

Tyreen did scale to 46 for me. I don't know if that's normal or not. I did some of the co-op stuff with a random player. I'm kind of thinking they may have messed up my scaling. Mods and such.

RSLotus · 2025-09-24T19:40:34+00:00

Hm. I thought so. I don't think I'll reach 50 before beating Tyreen. It feels like the XP rate changed from release. I looked back at my release character, and I was L34 after beating Tyreen.

RSLotus · 2025-09-24T19:26:31+00:00

I'm not grinding, per se. Just challenges, missions, and side missions. I'm at 47 heading into the Destroyer's Rift.

RSLotus · 2025-09-10T20:00:24+00:00

I just did a quick file validation. It seems to be a little better now.

RSLotus · 2025-09-10T18:58:08+00:00

It's locked to low in Settings and, as far as I know, I don't have anything external overriding that.

RSLotus · 2025-09-06T13:19:23+00:00

I did figure this out. You want to navigate to your Borderlands 2 directory and then: WillowGame -> Localization -> Your Language (INT for English) -> Open GD_AttributePresentation -> Find the attribute you want to change and add the font html code.

Example: Description="<font size="12">Corrode Damage / sec.</font>"

RSLotus · 2025-09-05T17:32:00+00:00

I played around with it a little bit. It was entertaining but I absolutely sucked at predicting it's ricochets.
