Logging into new PC gave "Client Ban" ?
Recently I moved into a new house with a friend and I while waiting for my setup to arrive my friend/Roomate let me play some apex on his pc. He uses Steam to access apex and play, has over 1000+ hours logged on his current setup and is currently diamond ranked. I don’t use Steam to play apex so we simply logged into my account through the Origin launcher and we even downloaded the game again through the Origin launcher, as there was no way to locate the Steam installed version of apex. After downloading apex and playing on MY account through the Origin launcher, roughly 5 games in I was hit with the “Client ban” screen. We quickly launched Apex from steam to try and play on my friends account got through 1 game and then he too was hit with the “Client Ban” my friend plays apex on his PC EVERYDAY. Why would logging in to my account on origin launcher and downloading the game through Origin launcher flag any of our accounts worth of a “Client Ban” we both can still sit in the lobby, our accounts are still active, but every time we queue into a match we get the same “client ban” screen. Not even firing range works. There is no malware or viruses on his computer he has an active McAfee subscription that was installed and running at the time, and still is. We did a full Pc scan and repair all of which was in vain.
If anyone has any help or tips or insight we would greatly appreciate it. We read some places that it may be caused by the sudden change in HWID associated to my account or the fact that I’m not using 2FA but I just don’t understand that at all bc I’ve logged into my account this exact same way from another friends PC and nothing ever happened before. I feel terrible for this all I did was login and game for a little while.
