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- 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. ☹️

What, remove Corsair hardware ?
- @SirBobdk iCue is known to be a trigger for EAC.

Sorry about the reddit link, but this is a decent read. Having any of that is a no no. I'm not super tech savvy, I just know that EAC hates Corsair and especially iCue.- @TheUltimateSmug
Hmmmm, It's bad if a legal program can lead to a ban.I see Clara has been at it again lol.
- @TheUltimateSmug that issue was sorted a long time ago lad.
the dog peeing on the game box or your neighbour rang the door bell twice is no longer a valid excuse - @TheUltimateSmug no it doesn't, i us icue too. for all my gaming device on PC
- @SirBobdk @wettshrt- Sure... I am running Corsair RAM, AIO cooler, and keyboard all with the iQue software. I also run development software, and memory readers. But I close the last two before launching games due to Anti-cheat because I do not want that flag lol... I can promise you, iQue is not causing a ban flag.
They are banning people?
- Wasn't it BF4 where they had that massive issue at launch where EA was banning people because of built in macro software people had for name brand keyboard and mice?
Just here for a quick little vent after reading some threads/comments etc. in various places.
It still frustrates me when people just write-off anyone who gets banned as a cheater.
I get that some of them are trolls, most in all likelihood, but there are still some people who think that Anti-Cheat Software is flawless and doesn't return false bans.
I'd love for them to investigate and research and educate themselves on how it all works, or doesn't in some cases, rather than just call everyone cheaters.
I fully support removing people who actively cheat in multiplayer games to gain advantages.- @xSniper1982 Agreed. Back in the days of manual reviewing, I had different opinions on it, but all games currently use automated services to kick and ban, and I see those overturned far too often to just assume someone is a cheater off the bat.
When you use an automated service, you're going to get false positives all the time. Anyone that says otherwise is just clueless.
