I've got the same / similar issues. Can play the mod for a short time and then not anymore.
First, it starts to force to install it from the playstore and the message won't disappear, no matter how often I switch back and forth. So, after switching to flight mode, this message is gone but after a few hours the game is overlaid with a message that it needs internet connection.
Reinstall doesn't help now. Stuck in a "install from playstore" and "need internet connection" loop.
As long as it worked, I had the "cannot cause damage" issue but God mode was on so I could destroy enemies by flying into them :p
Trying to play it on a OnePlus 12 with Android 14.
Maybe theres a trick how to close the playstore? When it pops up. I just "go back" and not close it. Right now I'm on the playstore version but will test it on the next mod.
I think the best trick would be to update the mod to somehow remove the checks of the app.
This is the only mod that offers a way to communicate with the modder, sadly. No other mod that I know of has a forum thread to write about, let alone have the modder write something from time to time.
I offered tips to the modder of what to look for in code, meaning of this class:
This class has many things to check on the current installation, such as the origin of the installation, the signature, etc...
Also, as you've noticed, the dialog appears the moment that you have Internet connection with the server, so it might be that the server has flagged your account to be checked all the time. This might also help to find how to remove this behavior.
As for the no-damage issue, I think it's a bit random. If you close the game and start it, it might work fine for the new session. You can test without losing dog-tags by choosing a plane/wingman/device and choose to try it.
Out of 10 times of restarts, maybe one of them will have it work fine. Try to play on the working session for as long as you can before a new problematic session...
@GNaFF Please please make this mod good again. Too many issues make it impossible to play it for a long time. Sometimes less than a few hours since a new version is out...
