Okay, just tested and turns out that you CANNOT join friends with the modified EAC.exe file. It would not even show a friend online playing it. So, I tried putting the original one back in. This time, it did allow me to see the friend playing and it did allow me to attempt joining.
But, it went as far as 80% with the Joining Session screen before it kicked back saying it failed to join. And, then got that stupid warning message about "this account has been flagged cause we're a-holes. so you can't join friends." Verifying the game files with Steam did not solve the issue.
So, looks like once you start the game with that modified EAC.exe file, it phones home and tattle-tales to PCF with your account, regardless.
Well, like everyone else who feels the same way, this is stupid. There's no reason to implement this sort of nonsense. Just let friends join friends, at least. It's not a PvP. I don't see how cheating, no matter how little, would affect someone else's, even a friend's, gameplay. Welp, that sucks.
What cheat options did you use specifically?

That doesn't matter. It's the modified EAC.exe that phones home and tells PCF, "Hey, I've been modified, this person is a cheater!"
Just got disconnected in the middle of playing with the trainer active and options. Can't log back in. Probably server issues again.
You are correct. I can no longer get back in. It'll go so far as "Signed In!" and then kicks back with "Disconnected from server."
PCF made a tweet saying they are aware of the server issues and are "working on it".

It does. Because all I did was give myself resources and I haven't been flagged at all since the demo and even day 1 to replenish what I used.
I've avoided editing my levels/skills/World Tier, as well as the other trainer options.
I'm curious as to what other options you've used?

During the demo: Rare Loot Drop modifier, sometimes One-Hit Kills and Inf Ammo/No Reload, Inf Health/Armor at times.
Full release: Same as above. Used the editor to give myself some more titanium and scrap.
