Re: I was falsely banned in Apex Legend

I started playing again after multiple years, i enjoyed some streams and thought it’s time to start enjoying this game again. I installed the game on my new PC after I learned that it can be played on stream now, linked Accounts with my 15 Year old steam account and started the game. But after i played my first match my account i put a lot of money and time into was banned. After appealing on your "website" i am now waiting for a response. In the meantime, i was reading a lot of ban appeals and apparently you guys from ea will just tell me there is nothing you can do and won’t even tell me which program or software it is that caused that. I am using multiple Logitech hardware’s and software’s and i often red that using them can incur into a ban. But that problem has been there for almost 3 years and i honestly cant understand how u guys haven’t fixed that and will now take my money and account and force me to sit here and vent my anger.

I don’t want to blame and redirect my anger to you guys in the community apartment. It seems u are doing a great job and that there is nothing u can do ... 

But after reading so many reports and complaints from the community playing this game the only answer everybody gets is that it is what it is and that no one will actually help. 

So, thank you guys for your hard work and for reading my complaint. Maybe someone can look into it and check if the anti-cheat program you are using is not compatible with Logitech software’s and other peoples accounts can be saved in the future. i don’t have high hopes, but a glimmer for my account is still there. 

Logitech problem - weirdly writen but u can get the gist

  • I just came back to the game after a year and came back to a ban message when looking to play with my friend | The clients account has been banned for cheating / hacking

    I have never hacked or cheated in any game so this is surely a mistake... some of my games are even live streamed. I have definitely been falsely banned but my request to appeal the ban was declined. ??

    The money i have put into the game at this point... I am not happy

    I did nothing to get banned. its been a year and it was totally fine then as well. then i come back and I am banned.. 

    Platform: Steam, windows pc

    I am a content creator and I was gonna go live but then the ban message came up. Since then i have sent another dispute to EA and awaiting a response.
