Removing the Cheater Icon in Tonic Trouble

[Rhinobake]

Hey, relatively new community member here. I wasn't sure whether to put this in the dedicated Tonic Trouble thread or give it its own, so feel free to redirect me there.

Anyway, I experienced a rather nasty bug in Tonic Trouble. While back tracking to Vegetable HQ to obtain the last couple antidotes and thermometer, the metal door you activate with a switch wouldn't open. I got around this by using the noclip cheat-keep in mind, I would cheat under no circumstances-and now the game permanently slaps this big ugly "CHEATER' icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Is there any way I can remove this? Say, by erasing the file for it? Something?

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

Please post a screenshot with it.

I would... if not for the fact that I've long finished the game after giving up on fixing this issue, and for whatever reason, your save file basically locks you into the ending upon completion, so I can't go back. Sorry

Sorry to necro this but I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. Than you OP for suggesting the noclip cheat, I didn't even know that existed! For anyone else stuck in this position in the future...

Type "modefly" on the keyboard to enter noclip mode. Use the arrow keys to turn and move back & forth. A and Z to ascend descend.

Fly back out of the doors and type "modefly" again to deactivate noclip. Press F4 to open the console and type "cheatcodeused 0" to disable the cheater icon. I believe if you use "cheatcodeused 255" it will disable the cheater icon permanently, even if you use more cheats.

Hope this helps someone else, because I really did not want to start a new save just because of this stupid softlock.
