Banned since Nov, 24th

I'm making this post to bring attention to my case and to vent that I've been banned since November 24th, 2025. My banning was presumably from having ReWASD installed on my PC and was flagged as being a cheating software.


I'm not here to debate that, it is what it is. At the time I was unaware of people using it to gain an unfair advantage in other online games. I had purchased it for completely different reasons and I was not using ReWASD for BF6. I know I can't prove it but I want to state my case.

I never used it for BF6, nor did I even have a profile made for it. I only used it for remapping older games or for extra functions Modded into my single player games like Skyrim or Witcher 3. BF6 won't even launch with it. When the ReWASD team was notified of this they instructed their community to put ReWASD in "Compatibility Mode", which after doing research I can only assume it tries to mask itself from the game, which I agree is shady but that's not disclosed to their customers. This ultimately led to hundreds if not thousands of user's being banned on that day. I will provide a screenshot of this. 

I'm not disputing that all of us are innocent, I'm sure there were many legitimate cheaters among us that were using the program to get controller aim assist on a mouse, probably the most well known method of using it to cheat. But I also want to point out that there were many people who were unknowingly being instructed to bypass anti-cheat systems. 

To wrap this up, since being banned I have submitted an appeal, got auto denied and resubmitted the appeal asking for a manual review. That was over 2 months ago and have only received one reply asking for my patience while it's being investigated. I purchased the game twice for me and my son to play together and I got us both Battle Passes. I think after spinding over $150 on this game and only playing it for a few weeks before being banned for nearly 2 months, I've been more than reasonably patient.

If a member of EA or Dice sees this post please look into this for me. Case  #230508193

    I dont use Rewasd but was also wrongfully banned a month ago for gaming enhancements without explanation and i appealed at least 10 times without success so good luck with that and please keep us updated if you get unbanned

  • Still waiting, this whole process is extremely frustrating and completely un-consumer friendly. If an EA employee sees this please consider looking into my case and helping me out. 

  • If i would be you i would be happy, now you can actually play good games and not to force you enjoy this pos

  • Hey mate, any updates? I am in the same situation you are in. I only found out that it was ReWASD too. Even though the developers of that software stated it was fine to have it installed on my PC.

    I used it on games that don't naturally support controller, retro games etc.., and even used it on games that I was playtesting, even for EA themselves and it was never a problem with them in the past. It's been on my PC for the last 4 or 5 years. However, got an email like you in November 2025 and have been banned ever since. My appeal says "Waiting on Studio" but have heard nothing in 3mths.  

    I think it's ridiculous that its a straight up permanent ban, no warning, nothing. Then you lose access to EVERYTHING you have purchased. Crazy 😅  has to be some legal route to take. I know someone else in the same boat as us 2 is going down that route to see what can be done. 

    Good luck with getting your ban overturned.

    No updates yet. It really ticks me off because I spent nearly $200 on this game for me and my son to play it together with battle passes. At this point he's given up playing it and went to CoD to play with his friends.

    I understand being banned over ReWASD because some losers use it to cheat. I get it, we can't have nice things. But instant perma ban on first ever offense is insane! A few weeks to a month would have been more sensable as a warning. Then it should be a perma ban if you do it again.
