Nexus Mods 35681 was not the NightCoop project page. It was a reupload by xKaordi. Staff removed it on 24 October 2026 and banned that account for “Attempted monetisation of stolen mod content from an off-site source.” The developers were not banned, and the notice does not call the mod malware.

What the notice says

• The page now says the mod was removed by a member of staff.
• The deleted file name in the notice is “NightCoop - Open BETA - Cyberpunk 2077 CO-OP Online Mod.”
• TheVampireDante carried out the ban. The notice records zero prior formal warnings. The topic is closed.
• I do not have a Wayback copy of the original 35681 description, so I am not reconstructing what the reupload page claimed.

Timeline

1. 23 October 2026: first public test.
2. 24 October 2026: the reupload is removed and the uploader is banned. The same day the project ships 0.1.1-beta.2.
3. 27 October 2026: 0.1.2-beta.
4. 2 November 2026: 0.2.0-beta, still published on nightcoop.net.

“Banned” in search results refers to the uploader account. “Original” in those queries refers to the builds on nightcoop.net, not to a second mod. On 4 November 2026 a Nexus search for nightcoop returned compatibility patches 37123, 37145, and 37148, not a project download.
