Eurogamer first reported that several modders have already begun to find ways to suppress Dragon's Dogma 2's Dragonsplague on Nexus, ranging from making the signs of the disease more obvious to removing it from the game entirely Coping strategies include.

Dragon's Plague spreads through pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2. Pawns are little henchmen that can be created, picked up, and traded in asynchronous multiplayer. You may notice that a pawn has a headache and glowing red eyes, but it's a quick hop, skip and jump from there to transforming into a dragon and killing NPC quest clients. Infected pawns spread to crews, and crews can infect other players' worlds through an online sharing system.

A genuinely scary and innovative simulation of the spread of a disease, complete with a sense of dread and incomplete knowledge of who is infected or not, dealing with Dragonsplague requires purging pawns with extreme prejudice, kicking them out of the party, or killing the main pawn. The Dragonsplague is a very serious disease. Some players have devised ways to let people know that their pawns are infected.

But let's say you're not interested in that. In a light touch mod, rthomasv3 of NexusMods has created a counter system that appears on the pawn's forehead to more clearly tell if the pawn is infected with Dragonsplague and how far it is from slaughtering the town. Meanwhile, the suspiciously named MrBoobieBuyer has mods that cure Dragonsplague, communicating the disease status through the in-game UI and providing hotkeys to instantly cure pawns. The imitable MrBoobieBuyer also has an "immersive" version that makes the cure an in-game consumable.

If you don't want to mess around with Dragonsplague, rthomasv3 has a mod that removes the system from the game entirely.

I must say I am still on the Dragonsplague team. In an era of live service transparency and perfect esports balance, such a high friction, amazing system feels special. Nevertheless, the fact that the modders were able to come up with a solution so quickly is truly impressive.
