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...

@zbran1 Those should be perfectly alright, I guess. Definitely for the grenade toss button remapping. But things like macros which triggers multiple actions (for example, a single button press will cause multiple key/button presses and so on) are a thing that anti-cheat solutions don't like much. I think Steelseries had some solution affecting mouse movement to help with mouse precision in their software in the past, but not sure if that was ever causing a problem (but I won't be surprised if anti-cheats won't like this feature, too). As such hardware vendors apps are safe for some, but are often mentioned by people here, it leads me to a suspicion that such custom things may be causing the bans, even when set completely unintentionally with no desire to cheat.
But no exact idea. Just trying to help. 🙂
@Anaghya Yeah my feeling is something is definitely going on.
To use an analogie.. If you go to a prison and ask the inmates are the guilty or innocent almost every single one of them will say they are innocent. Now we all know that is not the case. But we also know that there are indeed innocent people in jail. So simply saying they are all cheating is shaky ground from the get go.
Why would people that wanted to cheat use their main account that has hundreds or euros worth of games on it?
I know nothing about cheating but surely you'd go to the bother of getting another account and cheat away there?
I never knew you could adjust legitimate software in order to gain an advantage let alone get banned for it.
This thread is a bit of an eye opener. It's leading me to the conclusion that being a gaming simpleton has its benefits 😄

@zbran1Eh maybe because they are told that the cheat they are buying is not detected? Then when it does get detected they come on here blaming the likes of Corsairs Icue software lol..
Now I am not saying that false bans do not happen,but the majority of bans happen for a good reason.
There are many things your account can be banned for.

For sure most people getting banned is for legitimate reasons.
At the end of the day, I can only speak for myself.
I do know for a fact that I have not used any hacks or cheating software.
I've been playing shooters for 15 years and I would take zero enjoyment from cheating on them.
This is why I wanted EA to be more specific with what I did to trigger their anti-cheat, so I can learn what they deem ban worthy in order to prevent this from happening to myself and to others in the future.
I am not wiring on these forums to convince people that do not believe me, that would be a waste of time. I am writing so that other players in my position know that they are not alone.
EDIT: Also, my ban must have been issued due to some action that I took in game. Some glitch or bug that would only be possible to do due to bad game development. I would like to identify exactly what has triggered this ban so that I can avoid repeating this in the future, and so that I can raise awareness so that others do not get banned for simply playing the game.
It's kind of funny that they ban players who do not know whether they will be stuck in the glitch consciously or not consciously, not their own fault, but the developer
