I was unfairly banned from BF2042 and accused of cheating.

I am extremely outraged—I have never used any kind of cheat in any game.
I have only one account for games on Steam, and I only buy games there. The only thing I did on my PC was open Steam and launch BF2042.

Recently, I received an email in the morning stating that my account was banned for using cheats. I followed the instructions in the email and appealed, believing it was a mistake, but they said they would uphold the decision.

I sent screenshots of my Steam account (no cheater would risk their main account), and I offered to provide whatever they needed as proof that I did not cheat. However, they only reply with a generic message saying the decision will stand.

Has anyone ever managed to get a real review? Has anyone ever gotten their account back?
Is there anything I can do? If I have to buy the game again and keep switching accounts just to play, I’ll simply give up—it’s not worth the effort.

  • Good news!!!

    I received a mensage today. 
    EA sayng that they made a review of the decision about my acounnt. 
    Ande they removed my ban.

    You don't need G-Hub to do that if your mouse is programmable,  i.e it has it's own onboard memory.

    you should be able to use G-Hub to map your keys to mouse memory then you can close G-Hub entirely and the keybinds should still work.

    I have the G213 and the G502 Hero but I've never tried doing that,  but it'd be worth looking into,  At least then you shouldn't need to rely on having GHUB loaded whilst playing

    That is a great point forgot about the offboard memory. I will have to try this, just worried I might get banned again for it though.

    Also, I do have a profile built on ghub that finds the executable and then auto selects ,BF2042 so that could be seen as an injection

    I was literally unable to play a single match. 44mins total playtime and i get banned for apparent cheating. Ea is a horrible company.

    Apparently i cheat on a newly bought game but not in bf1 and bf5 which i have played for a couple hundred hours

    This is crazy! I am not going to play the game.  I am worried I will get banned again.
