Is using Third-Party Mods allowed on these servers?
Well, this depends on the mod you’re using. For example, using shaders or drift mod is allowed as these mods do not impact others’ gameplay. However, using cheats like pursuits hack is not allowed. Players caught using hacks will be either reset to Level 0 or banned completely. If you are not sure if a mod you want to use is allowed, contact the servers team.
My gameplay experience is Very Laggy/Buggy
This often happens because the server you are connected to has a bad latency to your location. In order to fix this, try playing on the server which is closest to your location. You can find all servers and their locations on the Server List.
