Due to lag, I used AI to write a free booster script
FIV36 If there is no in-game setting to change something, it is best to avoid using anything outside of the game to change it, (which this does mean that using scripts is not allowed).
If you had used a script to play Apex, then that would be seen as cheating, and thus would result in a permanent ban, (and for that reason, I had removed the script from your posts).
Yesterday, my brother and I created new accounts to start fresh in Apex. Our old accounts were banned — simply because we used a [removed] script, thinking it was just for better ping. We didn't know it was against the rules.(PED36 and PED24)
We spent 20 days appealing. Every single channel was closed. In the end, we gave up.
When we made the new accounts, we were extra careful. No boosters. No suspicious software. We played until 9:30 PM, everything was fine. Went to sleep feeling hopeful.
Today, we opened the game with excitement — and found both new accounts banned.
If you have an account that is banned, then playing on a new account is called ban evading.
Which to define ban evading, that is when you do anything to bypass a ban, (and that does include playing on a new account after being banned). Furthermore, every game company does not like it when a player bypasses their ban, so typically the ban ends up becoming permanent for every account involved with the ban.
The [removed] script was, to me, merely a tool to make the game run smoothly and prevent disconnections. Id not use it to gain an unfair advantage, nor did I use it to bully other players. I simply wanted to play smoothly with my friends.I believe I did nothing wrong.😯This accelerator script is harmless.
Using scripts is not allowed in Apex, (and in this case), the script was modifying your connection to the point where you were getting an unfair gameplay advantage, (which would be considered cheating).
Therefore, we need "accelerators," also known as network optimizers. They optimize routing to make data travel along faster paths, making the gme smoother. Many accelerators are paid, but I don't have money, so I used AI to write a free accelerator script. In my understanding, this is no different from paid ccelerators; it is just a tool to make the game less laggy.
Accelerator scripts are not the same as cheating software. Chng is to win; accelerators are just to be able to play normally. If we get permanently banned for not understanding the rules, and even new accounts can't escape this, it illy too hard for newcomers and kids like us.
While it may not be the same thing as using a cheating software outright, a script can give the player an unfair advantage, (which is not allowed).
I am not a resident of the US; I live in C. Due to the geographical distance, directly connecting to foreign servers is very laggy—screens freeze, characters teleport, and there is a delay when shooting. This is not a netwoissue; it is caused by physical distance.
When launching Apex, the game should automatically connect you to the nearest game server, (so there should be no reason to use a network accelerator):
Here is a visual of where each server is located:
Why is a network accelerator script treated the same as cheating?
Because you were altering your connection, (which can be seen as a gameplay advantage, and thus would be considered cheating).
Note: I do not work for EA or for Respawn, I am a volunteer.
If using an accelerator is considered cheating, all Chinese players, including professional players, should be banned. I would like to ask, if you do not want Chinese players to play games, why not lock this game? Many players have been banned because of their accelerators, and perhaps I am one of them because I still don't know what I did wrong. It's funny, right? I have played Apex for over 8000 hours
LaskDied When I had posted my reply, I had assumed that the network accelerator was giving the player a gameplay advantage, (rather then it being more of a VPN to be able to play the game).
So to clarify things better, any script that modifies gun recoil, alters your movement, shoots weapons you, or overall gives you a gameplay advantage is not allowed, (while simply using a booster/VPN, should be fine from what I understand now).
That being said, FIV36 you did share screenshots of other two other scripts, so if either of those were reducing, (or removing), your gun recoil, changing how you can move, etc., then that is most likely what the ban was for, (besides ban evading your first ban).
Midnight9746 Thank you for your reply. I am only 13 years old and really don't understand these things.🤔 I am just using an accelerationpt from Watt Tools that was written for me by AI; I only know that it makes the game run smoothly. The screenshot I uploaded is just the interface of that accelerator, and are no other scripts. If it modifies recoil or movement, I have no idea about it, and I don't want that kind of advantage. I just want the game to be smer. What can I do now? Thank you.
