Some fans of the free-to-play shooter Delta Force were dissatisfied with the official optimization and attempted to create “proper settings” themselves. The developers commented on such initiatives by tech enthusiasts and reminded that such tampering with the game is punishable by a ban.
Team Jade addressed the community:
“Recently, we found that some players claimed that they could optimize game performance by modifying .ini configuration files. However, after investigation by our security team, we found that most players were maliciously modifying "XXX.ini" files to make unauthorized changes to in-game scenes [elements], such as grass, trees, smoke, characters, and scene brightness during matches.
Our security team also discovered that some players were promoting and teaching these methods on public platforms, while a small number of players were distributing tutorial materials on websites and profiting from it. Such actions seriously violate Delta Force security rules, disrupting the game balance and the fair, healthy gaming environment that we have worked so hard to build for all players. We have already taken immediate action against the relevant accounts.”
The Delta Force security team urged players to follow the game rules and avoid modifying .ini files without authorization or committing any similar violations. Upon detection, violators will receive a 7-day ban, and repeated offenses will face stricter penalties.
