Ban

Thks so does that mean when the new battlefield 6 come out I can not play the game as they have ban me on battlefield 2042 thks

pockie3​  Usually a ban only applies to a single game, not to the entire EA account.

That said there's probably a piece of software installed on the PC which triggered the ban. Unfortunately and somewhat understandably EA won't say what software triggered the ban because they don't want the cheat developers to know.

I would completely format and reinstall Windows before attempting to play any EA games again. If you don't do this EA might end up banning you again because the piece of software that triggered the ban might still be installed.

Unfortunately there's no way to know what software is triggering the ban. Usually post-process filtering software like ReShade or antivirus software such as Malwarebytes can trigger EA anticheat. I've even heard fan control and RGB software such as Asus Armory Crate can trigger EA anticheat. I'd be scared to run any overlay software such as MSI Afterburner or even HWiNFO. Gamepad emulation software such as DS4Windows is another one I've heard causes issues.

EA's anticheat developers claim a 99% accurate false positive ban rating, but I don't believe it.

You may even consider creating a separate dual boot partition on your hard drive just for playing Battlefield, or install Windows and Battlefield on a second dual boot hard drive. Then install the minimal amount of software such as only GPU drivers, EA app, and Battlefield. Also make sure Secure Boot is enabled in BIOS to prevent unsigned drivers from being loaded.

If you do decide to go this route make sure to write down the Windows Product Key before formatting.

I would of course try to appeal the ban to EA's Terms of Service team, but I've only heard of a few people being successful. They allow 3 ban appeals before closing the case.

Something is not right here. Too many bans are being reported for there not to be a problem with anticheat.

Normally, I side with EA on bans but it doesn't smell right. I would like to see EA come out with a statement defending the last 'ban wave' and/or specifically detail the programmes that might be causing the problem. 

Yep, I have the same feeling. We never had this amount of people flocking the boards with bans.

This could mean 2 things, either something is wrong with the new Javelin anti cheat system, falsely banning people, or the previous anti cheat was so ineffective that nobody was banned and nobody came here. But I agree with Lancelot_du_Lac​  that EA should provide a statement, or at least provide the people who got a ban with reasoning and evidence why they got banned.

OskooI_007​  thks for that the only thing i did was update windows 10 that could trigged something as I was cheating  so now i done was reinstall my hole pc and windows 10 so now I have to talk to someone human and not a pony AI 

You state you can't discuss details about peoples accounts being banned on this platform which makes sense but you also won't discuss that information with them privately through email either, EA banned a lot of people and this platform has been getting flooded with users trying to understand why. Some even had to go as far as reaching out to developers on their social medias because Ea support wasn't helping nor were they explaining or showing proof as to what caused them to be banned. I'm just curious to know if EA will actually do something about this or at least explain and show proof as to why people are being banned in such a massive group

I'm in the same boat as you. I got banned after a fairly good game (i only play Flack, so i know her very well): First Leaderboard because I play objective, I res and heal a lot, plus do alot of kills. My KD was around 2 in that Game -> I get banned. Come on, 76K to 35D tells that I'm cheating? WTF, that's since 3 years my overall KD.


What do they do? They just claim you cheated, they don't give any reason. How can I show them that Im not cheating, because I don't have any? What triggered their anticheat? My Avast Antivirus, or Antitrack from Avast? Or is their Anticheat going rogue?

 It's kind of ridiciulous, because alot of people (including me) won't even buy a game from them again. Why? I sometimes bought season pass, so I spent 100€+ on a game, where I play fair and they just take my access away by claiming cheating?! Come on

What does support do? Nothing, only robot answers.

It seems alot of people are having this issue...

Does that look like cheating? Sorry, but I am really angry cause I love to play BF to unwind after long working days
