Seems like any sort of donor cert is leading to a ban. But ofc we don't know for sure. The last reddit post linked the OP claims to have been using his own private certsAh, that's a shame. So if you use XCI and initial data from a public dump and use a donor certs from a different game that you own and know no one else dumped is still guaranteed ban? I know that using publicly available dumps is 100% guaranteed ban, but wasn't using the donor certs and playing offline a safe way to avoid ban and still use MIG Switch for the games you don't own? if not, so you definitely need 5/5 match in order to not get banned? What's the point of donor certs, just to get the game to work, regardless of whether you get banned or not?
But you'll eventually get banned if you go online?
Which makes me think that games do need to be a 5/5 match. To further make me belive that..my buddy and I have been playing games aquired another way that are 5/5 matches but we do not own and have not been banned so far
Plus combined with the fact I did this back on SXOS days and still played online without a ban. I really believe this theory ngl. But nothing is certain. Those games didn't have the certs either since they wheren't really used back then but those games where also "private" dumps between a few friends and I only
