False positive bans

Does anyone know if this has happened on consoles as well or just only PC?

While it's on my mind, I'd like to point out that an actual BF dev has been falsely banned and accused of cheating in the past for a different AAA title. It was a simple tweet that got his account back. So, it's a little hypocritical to assume that there's no way in hell we could have been wrongly accused, and swiftly dismissed as lying. I can tell you right now if I was cheating, I would not be humiliating myself on the internet trying to prove my innocence, and I'm assuming others here are in the same boat. 

Sadly to report I've been just another victim of all this banning thing going on recently. After writing them through the dispute option where I explicity pointed out a couple of apps that might be triggering some alert, today I got that e-mail from EA stating they have done a "full investigation on your account" and that they have confirmed my account was involved in cheating.. I don't know what developers are doing to cause all this mess but one thing is certain, they are banning a lot of innocent people for no reason.

Should I send another "dispute" message? What do you suggest me to do? I even told them my FPS games history like 2.3k+ hours ig CS:GO and even asked them to check my K/D ratio in my (BF2042) matches which I believe haven't surpassed 2:1. Damn it I don't even have more than 20 hours with this game..

PS: The application I believe could have caused an interference or problem with the game is "X-Mouse Button Crontrol" which I have been using for years to give more funtionality to my mouse, currently using to switch virtual desktops with button 4 and 5.

PS2: I've included the same picture I shared with them to show what's running in the background.

1- Windows Security

2- Discord

3- Nvidia Settings

4- X-Mouse Button Control

5- Steam

6- Tamriel Trade Centre addon for The Elder Scrolls Online

7- Origin

You could try to open another dispute message, what I can tell you is that I did this and got the same bot answers, same as yours. I believe they just don't care if they are right or wrong, they just want numbers to tell how many "cheaters" they are banning, even tough part of these bans are unfair. I tried to DM them on Twitter and opened 2 disputes and had no luck.

Is anyone familiar with how the Freedom of Information Act here in the U.S. works? Do we not have the same kind of basic laws here to protect us as those in the EU have with the GDPR?

I'm curious. What do ya'll think the percentage is of people in here who are just full of it?

Be honest now. I'd say 98% of you know exactly why you were banned. Sadly it's not 100% as it should be as there could always be a false positive.

Thinking Tom Henderson is going to somehow get your ban overturned is pretty unhinged. You actually think he's going to put his rep on the line for 100 some odd people who he can't prove are innocent? You think he's not trying to determine how many of you are just typical liars? The most likely outcome is that he's going to state that the bans were reviewed and found to be valid.

Threads like this get started with every ban wave, in every multi-player, for a couple decades now. Nothing really special about this one. At least there were 2 bans reversed during early access and I'd assume that's why the thread hasn't closed. Zero un-banned since early access wave going by this forum.

Once this thread is closed a new one will emerge with the same old story.

@WienerBeardYou have no clue what you're talking about. And would put that number at 90% are not cheaters.

Common sense if you know anything about anything in regards to cheats these days (and for quite a few yrs now) that cheat sites require you to pay for a subscription which is usually not cheap... like $35+ a month.

But paying that high price comes with benefits... #1 being that they stand by their cheat and if for any reason you're detected and banned, that they will replace that game at no cost to you.

So why on earth would a good majority of people be on here hour after hour and day after day talking back and forth to try and understand why we were banned... when if we actually cheated... we'd be off playing the game again because the cheat provider would have already handed out new copies to everyone?

Stop trolling and move along.

"facts" lol

I don't even know him lol this guy clearly trolling I'm done lol, keep up the bootlicking though 

@JayIonsdude not even close. I've barely been posting in this thread as of late, also fact. 

edit: btw just looked back and saw you were part of the first group in early access. Did you end up buying the game again or no?
