The account is still unable to play normally after the ban is lifted

Some time ago, my account was hacked and banned. Recently, I unbanned my EA account and Apex account, but I still cannot play Apex Legends. Every time I enter the game, a pop-up message will pop up 30 seconds after I enter it saying that my client has been banned, but there is no ban record on my account now.

    Thank you very much, but I not only submitted an application to EA by email, but I also contacted EA's online customer service. After I submitted the complaint, EA handed my problem to the online customer service. After I contacted the online customer service, it said it couldn't solve it. I don't know what to do anymore. Do you have any good solutions? The answer they gave was that my account was not banned. In fact, I didn't see any information about my account being banned in my ban history. But I just can't play the game. When I enter, it tells me that my client account has been banned.

    MA01fdXwLv3  Outside of referring you to the EA TOS Team, there's unfortunately not much else I could suggest, (especially when I don't work for EA or for Respawn), as when it comes to bans, that's the EA TOS Team's department.

    However, from the sound of things, your EA Account "isn't banned", but your access to the game itself could still be banned, (so you
    could try asking the EA TOS Team if there's any bans or suspensions still in place on your account in any way).

    As for this question:

    Some bans may not appear on your ban history page, (to which I'm not sure why some don't show up).

    Regarding the login error, something you could try to do, is to sign out of the EA App, (or out of Steam), and then sign back in, (and it might also help to clear the EA App's, (or Steam's) cache), however, I'm not sure if doing so would resolve the issue.

    To clear the cache on the EA App:

    • Head to the 3 lines in the top left of the EA App, and then click on it
    • Hover over "help", and then select "App Recovery"
    • Click on the "Clear Cache" button

    To clear the cache on Steam:

    • Click on "Steam" in the top left corner
    • Click on "Settings"
    • Click on "Downloads"
    • Lastly, scroll down and click on "Clear Download Cache"


    Note: If you're using Epic Games, its a lot different, as its download cache is located in "%localappdata%/EpicGamesLauncher/Saved" (without the quotes), in the folder "webcache", (you would just delete the "webcache" folder), but make sure that the Epic Games launcher is fully closed out of before deleting the "webcache" folder.

    Thank you very much for your concern. I still cannot log in normally after clearing the cache. At the same time, EA staff replied to me and told me that my account has not been banned, but I still cannot play the game normally. Now I have contacted EA staff by email, and I hope they can find a solution.
