Three Steam Launch Options

Dear EA Support Team,

I am writing to bring your attention to three specific Steam launch options that may lead to unintended competitive advantages and subsequent account bans: -noforcemaccel, -noforcemspd, and -noforcemparms.

While I do not fully understand the exact technical mechanisms behind these parameters, our testing revealed a critical issue: they cause an unusual "sticky" or "magnetic" feeling during in-game aiming—similar to the aim assist feature typically associated with controller input. Notably, 70% of our test group reported experiencing this odd aiming behavior without prior explanation of the parameters being used.

Disturbingly, all of the brand-new test accounts used in this experiment were banned within 2–3 days of use, with the official reason cited as "gameplay enhancement." This strongly suggests that these launch options might be misidentified as unfair advantages by your anti-cheat system, despite their intended purpose of aligning in-game mouse settings with operating system configurations.

I sincerely urge your team to investigate this matter, review how these specific launch options are flagged by your systems, and clarify their status in your user guidelines to prevent further unjustified bans.

Thank you for your prompt attention and assistance in this issue.

    I have now used a new account to test these three launch options: -noforcemaccel, -noforcemspd, and -noforcemparms. I kindly request the official team to also keep an eye on whether this account will be banned.
