Unfairly Banned April 7th 2:06 AM UTC

Hello I wrote and commented on several post I guess I wanted to make a central post for my vent.

I have had my account since 2011 and I have been a premium user of bf3, bf4, and bf2042. I started on Playstation and eventually moved to PC. I have never hacked/cheated and never wanted to do either. 

I played BF2042 on april 1st, 5th and 6th. I was banned on Monday April7th 2:06 AM UTC I didn't log in until April 10th when I noticed I was banned. I have my steam, twitch, psn all linked to this account, this is my one and only account and wouldn't want to jeopardize my account. 

I highly believe your anticheat system banned me false positively. I also highly believe you outsource your support and they don't really care about us because I had my case reviewed and I asked specifically for a report of the malicious software so I can clarify what it is. They responded with a generic statement that I was cheating. 

I do run multiple games sometimes or when I stop one game I start one game immediately. I also use logitech for my mouse. I suspect something liek this could have triggered this false positive for the anticheat to ban me. 

I have offered to give a FORENSIC image of my machine and I am offering even to do screenshares and access share with engineers on your team to get this sorted out. 

I have looked at my data looked at logins it all checks outs, I looked at the account change log and I don't understand what it means.

I know you will suggest appeals again, but is there any way you can escalate this to a higher up? I have looked through the forms and I see I am not the only person who has had this issue in the past 2 months so what is going on? Does anyone actually care? I have tried reaching to multiple social media accounts that are EA and BF related but nothing. This is really discouraging.

    Hi there. We're not able to escalate this for you. The only option is to submit another dispute if you haven't used all 3 up already. Instructions for that can be found in this article.

    What happens after my third dispute?

    Unfortunately, that means the ban won't be overturned.

    Could I take this to court? I have never cheated or hacked why the heck would I spend money and countless hours onthis game to throw it all away?

    I can't offer any legal advice. I'm now going to lock this thread as there is nothing we can do to help over the EA Forums.
