Telemetry Control
Telemetry Control v1.7.0-f5 Build 01
————————————
1.7.0 Mass transit update alert – Existing mod still works fine, but be aware there is a new extensive and more invasive telemetry system that was introduced in 1.7 (actually the last 1.6 patch as well). grrr. This mod doesn’t block that yet (just the old system – also still in use) …. But it will soon.
Purpose:
Basically it lets you control what information the game sends back to Paradox.
By default everytime you start the game, open a map, load a game, end a game, quit the application or do a few other things it will send information to Paradox Colassal Order about what you are doing. The mod allows you to selectively control what information you want to allow to be sent, or to disable most of it.
Please read the full Release Notes:
What can be blocked:
– See the screenshot, they are mostly self-explanatory and the tooltips that show when you hover over each option entry in the mod gives you some detail what data is sent with each type. The Release Notes also details the basics of what each setting blocks.
What can’t be blocked without additional steps?
*Game bootup startup event
*Unique system information sent on startup
Why can’t those two items be blocked by this mod?
They happen too early in the start-up process for a mod to stop. A mod can’t stop actions that take place before the mod itself is loaded. To block those items you’ll need another method or a patched Assembly-CSharp.dll game file.
For more information, again please read the full Release Notes:

Other mods that detourreplace Telemetry related functions. However I’m unaware of any mod that touches those besides this one.
