Self-flagging people with invalid stats and hp/stamina

[hello there]

Hello

I sometimes like to use Cheat Engine for testing out certain builds and play around for a bit before I make them legitemately and I've noticed one thing, namely, my Watchdog almost never turns off when I up the stats of my character over the soul level limit (that is before I also raise the level itself to match the stats). It's happened to me a few times, but it doesn't seem to always work for some reason. I noticed the same thing applies to hp and stamina, so I decided to do some testing; I kept raising my health bit by bit, but to my amazement, my Watchdog wouldn't shut itself down until my character's health reached over 65k, which is definitely not a legit amount.

I'm not sure how important of an issue something this is, or if it is even possible to be addressed (I have no experience in programming), but I feel it would be a nice improvement if Watchdog would just shut down if one decided to mess with their characters in an inappropriate way; so basically stats not matching the soul level, health not matching vitality and stamina not matching endurance. But, if that's just too out of the way and unnecessary, a workaround could be simply making the shutdown thingy trigger itself whenever the character's health or stamina surpassed the maximum possible values, so 2633 health (99 vitality, mask of the mother, tiny being's ring) and 192 stamina (40+ endurance and rofap).

Best regards :)

It only happens when a multiplayer session is active (eg: when you are invading, or when someone is in your world).

Sorry, but that doesn't sound right. I was testing it with a friend of mine that I summoned, we'd report when one of us got flagged in the other one's Watchdog, but it wouldn't turn itself off for either of us until, as I mentioned, we seriously messed up our characters with CE. Anyway, thanks for your quick reply

I can assure you it's working as intended.

To me it just looks like it sometimes works and other times simply doesn't, sorry if I'm misunderstanding something here, I'm just trying to help out however I can. Watchdog is a pretty great tool and I can't imagine playing pvp in Dark Souls without it at this point.
