False positive bans
I just got a false positive banned from BF2042 this morning, while I was not even home... how is this even possible? I guess its rip my ultimate edition. I believe another user @Gryphonv got the sa...

@wettshrt- iCue and anything by Corsair. Easy Anti Cheat detects it as a cheat and will auto ban you without warning. This happens in Hunt a lot too.
I keep saying this but I'll say it again.
Easy Anti Cheat is AWFUL. It bans people for having something from Corsair. How is that fair?

what are people doing? Creating anotehr Origin account and rebuy the game? If so, nonsense... because your still exposed to having the same problem over and over...
- @wettshrt- Take apart your computer, remove all Corsair stuff, shut down iCue and now you can play the game.
Does that sound unreasonable? It's because it is. EAC is garbage and yourself and everyone else shouldn't have to deal with it. ☹️That will not unban me though haha
I only use iCue for my keyboard at the moment, even tough i have a corsair case, but no RGB
is this some people already did ? and it actually worked?
- @wettshrt- Not at all I’ll never purchase any ea game again!!!! They stole my entertainment and my money, all because of their flawed software
- @TheUltimateSmug I remember removing one of the iCue programs from my system, because EAC prevented the start of a game. But when it now triggers bans, that is really bad.
- @TheUltimateSmug I have been using iCue while gaming for atleast the last 7 years and never heard of this, or got banned from any game.

- @BizzyVaping Good for you. I mean that, not trying to be a smartass. Like I said, I'm not exactly tech savvy. It's just what I've heard and been told. That's what it says on reddit, although you shouldn't take reddit or anything on it as fact. Its happened to my friends, but god knows if they're honest. I do honestly believe it triggers false positives but to what extent I don't know. Just gotta wait and see.I'd prefer not to spout stuff if I can't back it up 100%.
- @BizzyVaping I was exactly the same before this happened. =(

"Failing to follow these guidelines will have consequences meaning your time on the battlefield will come to an end. We may place restrictions on your account and revoke your access to Battlefield 2042. If you have repeat or severe instances, we may permanently terminate your EA account."
- @TheUltimateSmug I have had iCUE, Synapse and Armoury running on my PC for a couple years, played multiple games that uses EAC including Apex Legends, Back 4 Blood and Halo. Never had any issue with them.
I think a lot of people starting on the 19th will be in the same boat.I dont wish that to anyone, but unless there is a massive amount of people reaching out I doubt they move. After all, EAC cant be wrong cant it?
I just want to mainstream streamer to get "lucky" with that random ban (if its legit false positive only haha), and walk his way through getting his account back because he has a bigger voice than regular players. Show how little faith we can have in them.
- @BlurKiller I use Synapse and was banned.
It could be due to Synapse.
- @TheUltimateSmug I have a corsair and have experienced zero issues...your comment is a bit of an overreach.
This is in my Account data. Anyone know what it means? It lines up to the exact date and time I got the Banned email.

I don’t have iCue or any Corsair stuff on my computer, no hacks no cheats but I do have GeForce Experience, but EAC didn’t like something on my computer after two weeks I get banned falsely accused of hacking
not true i have been running both for ever i think we need to turn the anti cheat software up about 100% and perma ban by credit card email and use phyisical address and drivers license accross all platforms and even prevent the purchase of games in the future for any known cheater.
I thought they had given up on anti cheat as players have non detectable hacks.
That's why no scoreboard so not to show how bad the situation is.
- @Kona_uk more like they developed a game to be entirely too woke. The scoreboards not there and being able to communicate with the other team is not there because they don't want anybody's feel feels to get hurt
