Unjustified account ban on BF2042

Hi everyone,

I just logged onto BF2024 only to find out in complete disbelief EA has banned my account from launching the game.

As a long time player since the old days of 1942, I never touched a single cheating or botting software in my life. In fact I’ve always been a staunch supporter of fair, transparent and honest competition and sportsmanship. I condemn cheaters to the bone. First I thought it was a mistake and tried relogging, of course with no avail.

Naturally, I appealed their decision and emailed customer support immediately. I was baffled when EA responded to me first thing in the morning, as they normally take their sweet time doing so. When I read their email, it said they’ve actually conducted a thorough investigation of my case and that the ban would not be lifted. After reassessment of my account support section, the ticket made by me was closed by EA with no further option of reappealing.

Asides from the completely absurd and unfair way to treat their valued customers and loyal fans of the Battlefield franchise, I was provided with zero information as to how I allegedly violated their terms of service, warranting a permanent suspension without further explanation nor prior notice.

Frankly, I feel cheated out of a game I purchased four years ago at full price from a company that doesn’t even seem to have the decency to reach out to me and build a real case to find out what’s going on. All I get is a generic message, possibly system generated with an absolute und completely unfounded statement. I’m at a loss of what steps to take next, as obviously this cannot be their final answer.

Please help.

  • ***UPDATE***

    Now completely out of the blue, my account ban was lifted on June 1st!
    Yet I find myself still unable to play, as at the same time the "secure boot update" was released.
    Coiincidentally, the decision to ban my account gets overturned. Am I the only one to get a weird impression about this?
    Anyone else out here with a similar experience?

    Many accounts have been getting unbanned. If you look at my post that I started two months ago, you will see that many were getting overturned out of the blue. 

  • Also just go banned and i have never touched cheat softwares ever in my life. EA´s lack of basic communication is crazy. I bought this **bleep** game for full price and i cant even speak to a human to get to the bottom of this. EA´s is such a **bleep** greedy **bleep**ing company it´s crazy. Gamer´s would be sooo better off if EA never existed

     

  • Yeah or i suspect Tobii eye tracker software, would be nice to figure it out with EA but that would probably cost this greedy trash company too much money to actually give their customers help

    I’m a couple months late to the chat but I’m having the same issue! I recently downloaded 2042 on PC to partake in the BF6 rewards. As a long time Battlefield fan I’m stoked for the new game. I unfortunately never got into 2042 (played for a very short time on Xbox) just didn’t really care for the game. I downloaded the game from the Xbox Game Pass on PC, I played TWO games got off for the night and roughly 24hrs later I load the game up just for it to say I’m permanently banned. I check my email and was sent the same message saying I was cheating, which is incredibly frustrating. I appealed the ban, still haven’t heard anything 4 days later the current status of my appeal is “incident update provided” which I never received and update email… However, under the penalties section of my account it says there is no history of violation? But my account data still clearly shows the ban.

    EA are a joke literally banned as well and again my account shows no history or violations. However, when I load up 2042 it says I am permanently banned from the game. Like are these people seriously?  show evidence that people are cheating. You can't just ban people because you're like. Oh yeah he's cheating  we will ban him without any actual evidence. Do you know why you got no actual evidence because I wasn't cheating.  If I was cheating I wouldn't be able to play any other battlefield game which is not the case. I can still play for 2042 on my PlayStation so what's the issue?

  • I get banned to I have low kd never cheats I dont understand why I get banned.
