2018 BF4 - MASS UNFAIR PUNKBUSTER BANS

Hey @LoopTeeLoop

Did you happen to download any programs recently just prior to the ban? In some cases there can be false reads that will need to be manually reviewed by Even Balance. Hope they are able to get to you soon and sorry to hear about the action during this time of the year.

How to dispute a Punkbuster ban: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/battlefield/punkbuster-bans-and-violations/

Hey. The problem is that , EvenBalance not relying me about 3 days , i've sent 7 tickets already

I just don't know what to do , i'm not cheater , why they banning normal players??

And as i know , PB Ban affects all punkbuster running games , but my BF1 running PERFECT , i think it's just a bug

Pbbans is a third party anti cheat site not affiliated with evenbalance. Sounds like you have a global punkbuster ban only evenbalance controls and they don't have a public ban list. BF1 doesn't use punkbuster so no surprises there.

Evenbalance usually takes a few days to reply to tickets so 3 days is not that long to be fair. Flooding them also just slows down their response.

Why do you talk like I'm guilty? I bought my favorite game and i just want to play it

I'M NOT CHEATER , why i'm BANNED? What the stupidest * is that? And they just not replying , VERY VERY NICE

Banning normal players and nobody cares about it. Just FANTASTIC , of course i will bought EA games again , sure i will

I had to re-read my post then. Not sure where you're getting that from. Of course you're not going to get banned by punkbuster on BF1 cause it doesn't use it, not in the context that if it did then you would be banned cause you're guilty (I guess that's what you're thinking). Like I said EB hasn't responded YET, I've seen it before and it can take a number of days for them to do so.

Unfortunately none of us can do anything about global punkbuster bans only evenbalance can lift them.,

How many months should i wait for EB reply? 

Well if you want to work it out in months instead of days or weeks then if you're basing it on the amount of days in this month (December) and up to 14 days or 2 weeks then see below..

All calulations are to the nearest 100th

For 31 day months (like December) = 0.45 months

For 30 day months = 0.47 months

For 28 day months = 0.50 months

All joking aside, in other words it should be less than a month.

it's so interesting , if PB will ban ALL OF BF4 players EA still stay quiet?

I'm just BURNING here , i''ve never use any cheats and PB banned me GLOBAL PERMANENT 

I'm in the same situation, I want them to give me back my game. The fault is theirs. Since December 25 Punkbuster is crazy. Look how many people with the same motive: (MULTIHACK) # 74004

The same day I installed Teamspeak 3 and Overwolf the problems with Punkbuster started. Team Speak displayed on the screen while playing the BF4. I send a ticket explaining the problem to EvenBalance, I'm still waiting for an answer.

I never cheated, look at my statistics : http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/es/soldier/Shogo100/stats/209097583/pc/

The same thing is happening to me. I submitted a ticket to Evenbalance only to receive this garbage auto response:

We do not find this violation to be triggered in error, and it will not be removed. 

The supplied GUID has been associated with hacking or interfering with the normal operation of our PunkBuster software and has therefore been compromised resulting in a global ban from PunkBuster enabled game servers. We have no way of knowing who was actually playing with this GUID at the time the violation was triggered. We also have no way to know if the violation was triggered on your specific computer. Our system does not collect personal information and furthermore we have no way to attach a cheat/hack violation to a specific person. This ban will not be lifted as then the person who did trigger the violation would again be able to join PunkBuster Servers using this GUID. 

To be clear: we are not saying that you cheated as we have no way to know who triggered the violation. If it is certain that no one playing on your computer ever had a cheat/hack violation triggered by PunkBuster, then your GUID (cdkey and/or game account password) has been stolen by or leaked to someone who has used it on a different computer to trigger the violation. We do not have the means to help you find out who is responsible for compromising your GUID.

Well there isn't proof I hacked, and I know that I didn't hack. In fact BF4DB, a popular banlist for battlefield 4 has permanently stopped listing PunkBuster bans. See here: https://bf4db.com/forum/thread/punkbuster-bans-permanently-suspended-2777. I've been chatting, and I heard that an idle account that has only been running battlefield 4 in idle (0 kills, 0 deaths, and 0 anything) on a fresh copy of Windows 10 installed on a Virtual Machine has been banned by punkbuster.

With Evenbalance giving me a garbage answer, it looks like there is no other way for this to be fixed, except for EA to force Evenbalance to do something about these false bans. For this to happen, we players need to come together to protest these unfair bans, and we need to spread the word to lots of people.

post edit:

though my username is HackerNinjaz it's just a username and that's it. It's really about the "Ninjaz" that tail the "Hacker" to kill him in the game by sneaking around in the shadows and being sneaky like a Ninja. anyways thought I'd add this just to explain the name, even though it's completely irrelevant
