Blizzard has told Diablo 4 players to stop using game-modifying software or risk their account suffering a permanent ban.<\/p>\n

In a message posted to the Blizzard forums, Diablo community chief Adam Fletcher made clear the developer\u2019s position on unauthorised modifications, many of which it said are used to cheat. Fletcher even called out one piece of software, called TurboHUD4, which has proved a popular option among the community, especially hardcore players pushing against the outer edges of Diablo 4\u2019s endgame.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Blizzard\u2019s statement in full:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to keeping the world of Sanctuary a safe and fair place for all players, and our Game Security team constantly monitors for cheats and unauthorized modifications.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Diablo 4 players agree to the Blizzard EULA as a condition of playing the game. The Blizzard EULA explicitly prohibits cheating, bots, hacks, and any other unauthorized software which automates, modifies, or otherwise interferes with the game. This is important to players\u2019 security as well as the game\u2019s long-term integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that in mind, we want to make it clear that TurboHUD4, like any game-modifying software, is prohibited for use with Diablo 4. Players who install this kind of software will put their accounts at risk for disciplinary action, which can include permanent suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to our players for helping to keep Sanctuary fair for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
