I made an appeal on why I got banned to them a few days ago. This is what I was given.
"Hello,
We noticed that your EA account broke EA’s gameplay rules.
Because your account was cheating, we’ve permanently blocked your access to Apex Legends’ online features.
• Read up on how to play by the rules at (link)
• Review our full user agreement. This is what you agree to when you play EA games or use EA Services:
What this means
When we talk about cheating, we mean things like using external tools, performing in-game exploits, or abusing glitches or bugs."
Yet, I'm on a new account doing the same thing using a controller on PC, having to go to Task Manager to delete "Lighting Service(32)" otherwise the game will crash for "violation of a software". And everything seems to be fine. I have the 4k damage badge with Bangalore (18 kills rip) with the new account and my name is "Bannd4Being2Good".
So far, nothing has happened to that account and I'm still currently playing the game just fine. Level 27 right now, even though Apex Tracker shows me at level 8.
I just re-read that email and I think Razer's mouse RGB program called "Razer Synapse" got me banned because of LightingService(32 bit) that crashes the game. And so the EAC thinks I'm trying to use a 3rd party software tool to cheat in the game... Do you think that could be the root cause of it all? Seems more plausible. Every time I open the game, I keep forgetting to delete it. So the game crashes, I delete LightingService (32 bit) and reopen the game. Then, I'm able to play perfectly fine.
It is the razer app, battleye anti-cheat will not work with the razer apps i need. i have a gaming key pad i got for chrismas, razer brand, tried dayz and arma 3 with it battleye won't start the game untill it was uninstalled. figured apex did the same but banned me instead of kick me off when logging on. I know it is too because i know i didint do anything, had other issues with other games anti cheat and the dates match up. i got the key pad dec24th, i get banned dec 30th. I know my keyboard and mouse config. software run fine but most anti-cheat software my games use don't like razer apps. i came to pc from ps4 and the transfer was heart breaking, losing every thing. Coming back i put 10$ in for mirage so im not off to a bad start, banned few weeks later after chrismas. Not saying paying should make you unbanable, but should show loyalty and support for the game. Id like to say if my appeal does not come through there is no investigation what so ever when it comes to cheating, the entire system is just the anti-cheat software assuming.
More proof razer apps have problems with anti-cheat softwares

Don`t talk things that are nonsenses.
Its not Razer software.
I got Razer Synapse for all of my devices, mouse, headphones and keyboard, as well as chroma and other stuff.
I get custom lightnings and so on for the RGB, as well as leaving only 1 DPI, cause i accidentally click and i don`t need only 1 DPI anyway.
He may very well be cheating, so do you think he will come here and admit that he cheated? Did you really think that?
He may have macros/scripts, no recoil stuff or playing Mouse and Keyboard and lying the system he is using controller, to get the aim assist.
Or he may use Cronus or SP or whatever other cheats there is for controllers.
To be banned, they definitely detect something, and believe me its not the Razer software programs.
DarthValtrex, you dont get good overnight, as well as you are not fixing your aim for like a week or two. This stuff may(i don`t know) on controller, but its not how its done on mouse/keyboard. As well as the recoil control.

https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/I-was-Banned-for-cheating-but-i-didn-t-cheat-attached-photos/m-p/9994162#M132991Check the post from MeltedIron00.
This dude already cheated in 2 other games, and have lifetime ban in CS:GO. I guess its for a reason.
A lot of cheaters come to complain about this, cause they spend money fur stuffs on their account, and thats why they want them back.
Again i`m not saying you are cheating 100%, but i don`t see how they will ban you for no reason.
Again i`m running all kind of Razer apps(no macros, never ever created one), and never ever have a problem with them.
Again nothing against you i just don`t believe people over cheats. Back in the CS 1.6 time we were playing heavily and i have a team. After a long period we understand one of our team members were cheating. :D
Same stuff happen on CS:GO, but we were playing more casually with the guys. Its people from my country, and we talked pretty much every day.
So my trust factor is very low, especially here on Apex, where so many people are cheating and running all kind of soft cheats.
And again nothing against you, you maybe clean, but once again Razer app has nothing to do with it, unless you have macro on it.

@Shotgunjake21Well ya, you can create macros with it and do things with it that violate the TOS. So it's easy to understand why that would create problems for you..
I can understand the 0 tolerance policy for it as well. Cheating is absolutely horrible for a games player retention. It negatively impacts the player population and it also negatively impacts the amount of time people play.
When you're an honest player and get destroyed by someone cheating it ruins the fun/game for you. It's really frustrating in games like this because it can be difficult to win rounds and have good rounds. Imagine struggling all night, finally have a good round going and you get destroyed by someone who's cheating?- 5 years ago@DarthValtrex It's not the Razer Synapse software. I have it and run without issues. Also, Razer is not the only mouse software to support macros, there are a ton of them, if EAC would ban such software half of the PC players would disappear overnight. Also, since EAC starts right before the game, I think it would just prevent the game from running if it detects something suspicious instead of issuing a ban.
Maybe the OP tried a certain macro or used something else like altered or beta drivers or other third party software that enhances mouse movement.- 5 years ago
The anti cheat is FAR from infallible, i deleted my gigabyte auros RGB control because both PUBG and Apex think im harbouring cheats in it.............
The programme that controls the pointless pretty lights on my computer is apparently used to cheat???????
Where does that make any logical sense?
- 5 years ago@DarthValtrex I can create macros with my logi tech app that goes with my keyboard and mouse and nothing has a problem with it.(then again idk how macos work)
Check my post i found older forums from 2016 thats show razer has had problems in the past with their products and anti-cheat.
Idk if those forums can still apply to me right now, but ive had problems with razer on another anti-cheat, and once uninstalled it worked fine. This guys forum says he thinks its the same issue, razer software vs anti-cheat.
Razer Tartarus v2 gaming keypad.
Model:RZ07-0227
Im just saying i know you don't know what ive done and if im guilty or not. But i know and it pisses me off that ive got to fight this while cheaters go "well is well" *creates another account*.
