Unjust Ban in Battlefield 2042 & Battlefield 6 EA Anti-Cheat System Is Failing

I’m writing this post because I believe EA’s anti-cheat system has gone completely out of control — it is punishing legitimate players while the real cheaters continue to roam free.

My Battlefield 2042 account was banned immediately after completing the tutorial match — the one where you fight AI bots. I hadn’t even finished the training, and the system flagged me for “gameplay enhancement” or using “unauthorized software.” I have never used any cheats, exploits, or third-party tools. It’s absurd that EA’s system cannot distinguish between a beginner playing the tutorial and someone actually breaking the rules.

Now, what’s even more shocking is what happened with Battlefield 6. I bought the game on Steam (linked to my EA account) and played perfectly fine for around four hours. Everything was normal until I hosted a game session after entering a four-letter lobby code. The match only had AI bots, and I simply played to level up and unlock weapons — completely within the game’s allowed features. But suddenly, I got a “verification failed” message, and when I tried to log back in, I found out my account had been banned again.

There’s still no record of this Battlefield 6 ban showing in my EA penalty history, which makes it even more confusing. Is this a delay, a bug, or another mistake? Either way, I cannot access the game anymore.

I suspect EA’s anti-cheat might be falsely triggered by other anti-cheat systems (like ACE from Delta Force or other games installed on my PC), but that’s no excuse for banning players without a single piece of evidence. If EA’s anti-cheat can’t tell the difference between a hacker and a normal player using AI mode, then this system is broken.

EA, this is a serious issue. Players are paying real money for your products, and being banned for simply using your built-in features is unacceptable. You owe your community an explanation, a fix, and an apology.

I hope this post gains enough visibility to make EA review its current anti-cheat policies and restore wrongly banned accounts immediately.

EA, please fix this and unban innocent players like me.
