So, apparently, the authentication failure message that some of us get when trying to log in basically means you’ve been banned.
This ban doesn’t show up in your penalty history — you can only see it in your account data file. I did absolutely nothing besides trying to record my gameplay. EA Support is also doing nothing with the cases about it.
No way to resolve it, no meaningful information, nothing. Posting this in the hope that some EA staff will see it, and to give everyone else with the same issue at least some clarity on what’s going on.
Can confirm. Just seen the same thing. Mine says “competitive advantage” only thing it can be is either MSI afterburner running in the background for my temperature monitoring or razer synapse cause those are the only two things I ever have running in the background while gaming. Verified by checking my ea account data files and the fact I made a new bs account and loaded me right into the game and played with no issues on new account. Filed and appeal and HOPEFULLY they become aware of this bs.
I used RTSS RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server, maybe because of it bans?
