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...

@dabbitydabdab At this point, I am just here to see to the magnitude of the issue. I am not even trying to get a ban reversal. I do not understand your thought process on someone will provide details of a macros in this thread for you to understand how can they be used to enhancements? Its not a complicated process.
You could write down a simple script to negate recoil effect on guns. I know Logitech softwares have scripting abilities. I come from a 20+ years of windows programming experience. I could write a dumb windows hook to trick my mouse movement enough that the recoil will shift. and I am certain to a degree its easy to hide these tiny trick softwares from anticheats.
My thought process is they are banning people who have general software running with scripting abilities e.g. Logitech or any other listed previously. Because even thought not everyone can code, they can copy paste code from google. so its an easy target to detect these softwares and just blanket ban. Even if the user not using the scripts.
I do not know if you own a Logitech Mouse? Do you? Yes or No? If no, a fun fact is this software controls the DPI and runs as service in windows. How is this related you ask? its related because its always running in the background to virtually enhance DPI. So a Windows user has it "running" which for a dumb anticheat software will be "using scripting" and causing it to signal for ban.

@stealthME00 I have never used a macro in my life, I dont have 20+ years of windows programming experience. I was simply wondering how someone could use a macro in BF2042 to have an advantage, I thought I made that pretty clear. I have actually asked multiple people and you're the first person to have an answer, using a script to negate recoil effect. As I've stated before, it doesn't actually matter, I was truly just curious, not sure what you are confused about. That guy has repeated countless times that we are all banned for owning devices that allow creation of macros, as someone that's never used a macro, I was curious if he could give an example.
To answer your question, no, I don't have Logitech mouse. I just said in the last 2 replies in this thread that my Kb&m don't even have software at all, nevermind having the ability to create a macro or anything like that.
- @dabbitydabdab cool, hope my explanation earlier helped a bit on how it can be used to recoil hacks or even more sophisticated cheats.
I do not think its a hardware issue and from details of your hardware its pretty clear they have a bug in their anti cheat detection which is causing this. We'll never know. EA isn't helpful. So everything, including my personal assessments, are just theories/guestimate.
