Banned Without Reason

Before anyone gets upset again, because my previous post apparently rubbed someone the wrong way, I'm keeping this one a bit more gentle for the faint-hearted. 😅

So, it's been 9 days since Battlefield 6 launched, and hundreds of legitimate players are still locked out of the game because of what appears to be false bans triggered by anti-cheat system.
Many of these players are long-time supporters, some even playtesters, parents and veterans who've spent thousands of hours across every Battlefield title. Yet here we are, banned without explanation, with empty penalty histories and only automated replies telling us to "open a new case".

I'm not asking for miracles, just acknowledgment.

Why can't EA simply say: "We see the issue and we're investigating."?
That alone would already show respect for the community.

There's a top-voted bug report with hundreds of replies and upvotes, and still no visible engagement from the official team. People are frustrated not only because of the bans, but because of the silence.

If certain software is known to trigger false detections, then please communicate it clearly, even a small startup warning like "This sofware may interfere with Battlefield 6's anti-cheat" would prevent so much confusion and disappointment.
To be clear, we're not talking about cheating tools. We're talking about common, harmless programs that millions of gamers simply have installed on their PCs, things like Logitech G HUB, MSI Afterburner, RGB lightning software etc.
If the anti-cheat system mistakenly flags those, the least EA could do is warn players before banning them.

Also for those jumping in with "haha, one less cheater" comments, please stop.

This isn't just about a few accounts, it's about trust. When players can't even feel safe logging into a new Battlefield after supporting the franchise for years, something is seriously wrong.

King regards,
Lev - still your loyal (and currently banned) customer. 🙂

  • My second appeal is still actively being transferred. I sure hope they get this sorted out and admit something went wrong. For players who were impacted by an EA App outage were given XP boosts, I'd like something similar since this is now going on over a week outage for me.

  • Well written, mate!
    I hope we'll be acknowledged at some point 🤞

  • I’m one of those people who got banned for no reason. However, I had the opportunity to appeal, but my appeal was rejected twice.

    Now there’s an ongoing case with PayPal to get my money back.

    If nothing else helps, I will involve a lawyer and file a lawsuit.

    Here as well a goddamn victim to the stupid anti cheat. Has been playing bf6 for a few days after work, and just as I logged in the game on a cozy Sunday, mentally prepared to grind those attachments, the 'Your account is Permabanned' message pops up. 

    I guess the devs just doesnt know how bad it felt to be wrongly banned and not get any fxxxing reasonable response. 
    This game costs money man, and I even bought the phantom edition. Each day banned is a day worth of money scammed by the devs,

    It really ruins player's trust into the game, and now the first season is gonna start at 28/10. God knows will I even get a simple reply from the devs before that. This game has been giving me hope and attachment to the world.  Longing to play this game has helped me coped with the stress from work, and you guys just took it away.
    Thank you Devs for making it easy for me. Now there is nothing holding me back :)

    To any Devs or community manager seeing this, I wish you can feel what I felt right now.
    Despair.
