Re: False positive bans

me too, i don't use hack/cheat and get ban no reason ?? WTH this game ?

@xSniper1982they had to clean out the players who would scare away potential xmas crowd sales. hahaha

GG, another copy pasta, still have NO CLUE WHAT SPECIFICALLY I DID.

So I just lost $70 and have no clue why. If someone robbed me on the street for $70 I'd at least know why I am short $70. EA just takes the money and runs.

Hold up.
They're doing F2P weekends, right after banning a load of people?
WTF are they thinking, the ACTUAL cheaters they banned will definitely just grab a new account and hit the F2P.
Unless that's the plan, draw in the cheaters during a F2P so they can narrow down the cheats/test the anti-cheat.

Either way, still feels like a kick in the face after being banned for nothing.
At least The journalist on Twitter is taking this seriously.

Yea, i'm glad someone posted that link in here from Tom. Couldn't see it for a day since i had a 24 hour ban on here as well. but indeed. Feels more like a kick in the nuts you mean with EA being EA as always. 

Game is dead anyways. See a lot on reddit as well that its even that bad that people aren't even able to get a lobby with players to actually start the game. ah well, cba anymore. 

I have NEVER cheated! I am 47 year old tried and true gamer and have been playing for over 20 years. I despise cheaters and here I get an email telling me that I've been banned for cheating! I've only played the game twice! I think I am still like a level 5. I went through the process and thought for sure that whatever issue they had on "their" side would be resolved but I get the following email:

"Hello,

Thank you,

Then have the nerve to send me a follow up email asking me how was the service! Really!!!! Game cost me $96.29, played twice and now screwed over. I beyond frustrated even though I had no plans of playing no time in the near future. Life...

@UniDaHeroHi welcome to the group. Everyone seems to get the same rubbish bot response. I doubt a human actually looks at it, our last hope is Tom.

I think we might need to come to terms with, we are not famous, we are nobody players that if they ban nobody is going to fight to get back on and we can cry all we want, end of the day what can we do?

To actually get a human to help here we'd need to be (insert big streamer name).

Is there a list of the following:

• using software that interferes with or disrupts an EA Service or another user’s account.
• using unsupported mods, unauthorized hardware or accessories.'

I've use a Logitech G9X that has mapping capabilities but haven't setup a BF2042 profile. I also see that people are saying something about the iCUE software which is used for my Corsair Void Wireless HP. I have MSI Afterburner installed but only use it when I need a little more out of my GTX 1070 for Alyx Half Life in VR. Other than those, I can't think of anything else. I wonder if any of those software violates their T&C. 

@UniDaHero: that brings up a new theory:
Maybe they implemented an age-check to get rid of us old Grandpas, as they know we can't cope with the skills necessary for the new Fortnite/Apex direction of the Battelfield series.

That at least would explain a lot.

(just kidding, but I can't take this topic serious any more, going from angry via disappointed to "who-cares" mood)

Its actually the new age of gamers that think...."We can buy it so its ok to use". No you cant. LoL

Now they are realizing that stuff can get them banned. So now game forums are riddled with these False Ban accusations. When they are legit bans.

It amazes me that there are actually gamers out there that dont believe some gaming pc builders will actually sell gaming systems that will get you banned. 

I could go out to walmart today buy a modded controller for Call of Duty for my xbox and tell everyone Im using one and be banned from call of duty tomorrow.

@RatedChaotic

Kinda got used to buying stuff and not getting banned in any online game untill this one. Thats why so many people think that way. Overwatch doesn't give a damn , CoD Warzone doesnt give it also, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Apex, Halo.... Which game also does those "free" bans?Oh and also non of previous Battlefields gave away those

@RatedChaoticI have my Logitech equipment since 5 years ago, at least.
Never been banned from anywhere before BF2042.
If you don't work for EA, please stop replying like you've set the rules.

@stealthME00that Tom Henderson is a freelance writer for gaming reviews. He probably has some contacts who work for EA. As simple as that.
BTW no one said that he will get you unbanned. He's just collecting infos about a maximum of banned players to figure out what the problem is.

@SeriousJuJuI keep reading this theory that EA doesn't give you the reason why you got banned because cheat providers will have information..Bla bla bla, that is such a simple-minded idea. I tell you this; google BF2042 cheats, and you will be amazed, go to youtube and query for; cheats BF2042 and you will be AMAZED... there are tons of Cheats working and being used right now on BF and they don t get banned just simple players like me, that worked hard to buy the game and play a little after a hard day working and don't give a dam if win or loose or get 40 or 100 kills, just wanna have fun and for that EA BANNED and robbed me.
Please admin don´t Ban me again from the forum for being honest and pissed.

Hey guys,
@LALR_Parserjust showed my that thread because I just opened one a few minutes ago about this exact same topic: "I got banned" 

I just sent them a GDPR Subject Access Request. Do you know if that will do anything?

The answer I got from that regarding my Subject Access Request was: "We received your latest message regarding the action taken on your account. We have performed all investigations possible on this issue and will not reverse the decision. Please do not expect further responses on this matter."

Just some automated crap...

Not to my knowledge, just keep being falsely accused 

Not to my knowledge, just keep being falsely accused 

@SeriousJuJu I wish EA would do that, it'd tarnish EAC's claim that they don't false ban ever though. 

Well in the beginning it was okay not great but it was kinda okay. Then when go back on dec 8 to make next level 83 , I found out after two weeks I was hacking , wtf ,I played for two weeks then I’m falsely accused of hacking. So I can only assume that I’m not enjoying the game at all
