No discussion of a character2dat editor is complete without the disclaimer. EA actively bans accounts that modify game files.

Real Racing 3 utilizes server-side verification. When your device syncs local data to the Cloud Save network, EA's anti-cheat algorithms flag accounts displaying impossible currency spikes or unearned rewards. This results in permanent bans from Team Competitions, Time Trial Leaderboards, and Online Multiplayer. 2. File Corruption Due to iOS sandboxing, accessing this file requires
