Customizing Dead By Daylight Icons - Can you ban for this?
Title.
Just is customizing icons, but a lot of people say that this is reason for ban.
I want to customize my game, but i'm afraid for that and that's why I have not done it yet.

It's a matter of if you're lucky. BHVR themselves won't ban you, and I hear it's very rare that people do get banned for it.
But knowing how the universe works, a 1% chance becomes a 99% chance.

You're not likely to be banned, but you're still at risk; Once you are banned too, the devs can not unban you, so do it at your own risk.

And how work the ban system in this game? Permaban instant? Or first a 24h ban and progressively? For example

BHVR wont ban you, but if EAC detects altered game files and bans you, they won't revert the ban

@Skycerer It is permanent. EAC works in odd ways, but it will be permanent and BHVR wont be able to unban you.

We do not actively hunt you down and ban you for doing so. However, since you are altering files, you're running the risk of triggering the anti-cheat. If that happens, it will ban you and there's nothing we can do to help. If you decide to do it, you're doing it at your own risk, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You are planning changing Anti-cheat to better one?

This has nothing to do with "beeing lucky".
Bhvr won't ban for this, so only eac could do it. BUT eac doesn't care about UI files in the UI folder, pak files are more interesting for them.
Furthermore, if eac detects missing or modified files in the UI they will fix it by not starting DbD and forcing you to verify the files if eac will ever care about that.
Also, NOONE got banned for that, I don't know a single person and I investigated a lot of banning posts on different platforms. Noone was related to UI changes.
Changing the UI is probably the safest thing you can do with DbD. You are more likely to get banned for using a macro with AHK and that's already out of scope for EAC as far as I know.

The anti-cheat has been doing a pretty good job so far and there's no plans for that at the moment. Altering files in just about any game that doesn't explicitly allow modding will typically run the same risk. Making sure people can't edit files is an important part of an anti-cheat.

Actually that's a very good question. And I can not understand why it's so complicated to get a satisfying statement on this.
EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) is a software product that is used to counter act cheating. As anti cheat software it should be deterministic and does not act on it's own. Somebody needs to tell it what to do, that's how it works.
I don't know exactly how EAC works (they are quite secretive about it, no detailed information publicly available), but I would imagine that there is at least a white list and black list of things to check or to ignore.
The fact that BHVR says they won't ban you for using custom icons is good. But they also say that they can not prevent EAC from banning you (remember they use EAC as a product/service and they pay for it!). And that seems so out of this world.
How can you use an anti-cheat product/service and not know how it works, or take any influence on it (e.g. put custom icon files on something like an EAC file whitelist).
It's seems so strange, that it's almost unreal.

@HavelmomDaS1 It's a risk as @Peanits states. I don't know if anyone has been banned and I meant luck as in: No one gets banned until you do it too, then suddenly you are the 1% who gets banned while others go free.
I would actually like to know if there was a person who was banned for doing so.
