Re: I was just banned in BF6

I’ve been playing battlefield 6 religiously since the beta and release and have had a blast playing it.  I have put in countless hours (level 40+) and It’s finally brought back that missing piece of gaming that’s been gone for me, but the other night in the middle of my game I was disconnected.  When I tried to reload into the game it hit me with the “you have been permanently banned from this platform”.  Confused, I went and checked the EA ban page and found out the reason I was banned was because of “gameplay enchantment”.  At first I was furious as I was in the middle of a gaming session with my boys, but quickly came to the conclusion that it shouldn’t be a big deal as I can just get it appealed.  I thought it wouldn’t be a problem because I have never once cheated or used any “gameplay enhancement” or whatever that means in my 18 years of gaming.  I don’t use game filters, I don’t have an overlay, there’s literally nothing that I use or do that could possibly warrant this ban.  The only thing that I do run/use is a vanilla Xbox controller to fly jets, and a clipping service called medal.  Anyways, I submitted a appeal to EA and a few days later the appeal got “transferred” but the weird thing is that the date and time on the website of when it was supposedly transferred was hours into the future, the following day.   A few more days have passed and every time I log on to check my ban, the time continuously moves forward into the future.  It’s been a while now and I’m getting extremely frustrated as all I want to do is play the game with my friends, but I’m unable to for absolutely no reason.  It’s ridiculous that I paid 70 dollars for a game, put hours and hours into it while doing absolutely nothing wrong, and now the game is just stripped away from me.  What’s even worse is there’s NO way to get in contact with anyone at EA and it honestly seems like they are doing everything in their power to avoid my appeal.  If anyone has any insight into this please provide it as I’m clearly not going to get anything from EA.  Am I just screwed? 70 dollars, countless hours, and my current favorite game down the drain because of EAs anti cheat messing up?  Do I wait? Is there a chance I get unbanned? This just isn’t right.  Anyways if anyone knows anything or has experienced this themselves please comment down below, and if by any small chance someone at EA sees this PLEASE look into it.

    I got banned yesterday for the same reason, I have never used anything, no cheat, they can check my record but I guess EA is just incompetent and scams players.

    I found out from a friend if you use a mouse software like logi g hub you can also have problems I believe i got perma banned for use it and im still waiting on my ban. they really need to give a real reason and what was found not just a vague reason for the banned so it can be easier to get the problem solved. I wish you best bro

    Thank you, that could be it.  I do have a Logitech mouse so might explain it.  I wish you the best as well.

    I have the same issue, I have a logitech joystick for sims connected and I also used msi afterburner, but it still shouldn't cause a permaban. Has anyone got a response in their appeal tickets?

    I had the same issue at first i tought im suspended because i had issue with my email not receiving codes to login. I resolved it with live support somehow and asked him directly if i have any bans, he denied my question. But then i still couldnt access game. Later found out its the same as you. What might be for me i used faceits anticheat which basically is 3rd partys Anticheat for counter-strike 2 and extra enabled vd-t in bios but that would be stupid to ban people because they have other anticheat too on computer.

    Yah just like me, wake up today and got perma banned with the same reason "gameplay enhancement". I have several programs running on my background like face it anticheat because of cs2 face it matches, Logitech G hub, spotify, obs, msi afterurner, discord, teamspeak3. Never cheated on my life in any game and was enjoying the game.

    Besides that the game launched 17 days ago and we bought the game or the pass to play it, so maybe a refund or a proper reason why we were banned?

    I have the same problem. Today, I was banned forever for an unknown reason. I didn't use any cheats or macros.

    I believe the faceit Anticheat is what caused my ban as I am a faceit player as well. The one time I played faceit and left the anticheat running in the background is probably what got me banned in the first place which is ridiculous. Why would an anticheat ban me for having another anti-cheat running in the background?

    I also suspect it might be related to the Faceit anti-cheat, but in that case, wouldn’t it be a widespread issue? I haven’t really found any similar reports, and the main problem is that if it actually is caused by the Faceit anti-cheat, we’ll never know for sure since EA doesn’t provide any details.

    Update:  I GOT UNBANNED! Took 10+ days but I woke up today with an email stating that my ban appeal has been accepted.  If you genuinley didn’t do anything wrong just go submit an appeal and hopefully they unban you as well.  Thank you EA!

    Nah. Being banned for nearly a month is wild. 

    Absolutely ANY want to play the game has dissipated. I will never buy or play another EA game again, even  if they do lift my ban.

    I am going through the same issue now too. Played only 4.5 hours and was perma banned mid game. I don’t use any overlays, controller, or anything. Didn’t win a single game and never had more than 5 kills in a game of RedSec but was banned. It won’t even let me appeal the ban and there’s no way to get in contact with EA. I don’t want to even try to create a new account because what’s the point if I just get banned for no reason and lose all my progress again.
