Possible False "Gameplay Enhancement" Ban From FPS Launch Commands?
Recently, my Apex Legends account with around 3,000 hours was permanently banned for "Gameplay Enhancement". I want to be clear: I have never cheated, used scripts, macros, recoil tools, wallhacks, aimbot, or any third-party gameplay software. I reached Predator in Season 27, stopped playing for a while, and came back at the start of Season 29. After playing ranked for about two days, I was banned mid-game while warming up in Wildcard. The only unusual thing I had was a set of FPS/performance launch commands I copied from a popular YouTube video: +fps_max 139 -forcenovsync -dev -high -novid -fullscreen -preload -no_render_on_input_thread +r_drawparticles 0 +mat_compressedtextures 1 +cl_ragdoll_collide 0 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 +lobby_max_fps 0 After reading other EA forum posts, I noticed multiple players banned for "Gameplay Enhancement" mentioning similar FPS/config commands. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking EA/Respawn to please review whether these performance configs could be causing false flags, and to clarify what launch commands are or are not allowed. If anyone else was banned for "Gameplay Enhancement" after using FPS commands or configs, please reply so EA can see whether this is affecting more players.Bans caused by false anti-cheat flags while having connection issues to servers
People are having this issue left and right, and for no reason should people be getting locked out of the help center without being told a legitimate reason why they've been banned. I've been banned for over a month, and they say "gameplay enhancements," but that's not true because I haven't cheated once, and I've been playing this game for years, and it's quite sad how a ton of players are going through this same issue, and the TOS couldn't care less. Like user Krule-Dru said, "I believe that there is a problem happening in Apex at the moment that involves the anti-cheat flagging people falsely for reasons like connections to the server and reconnecting to them after being disconnected and then banning them for the reason of 'Gameplay Enhancement.' " A previous pro player, Edam_FPS, was recently banned twice and unbanned twice for the same reasons. I believe other people, as far back as 2 months, have been experiencing this issue, and I'm unsure if EA or Respawn has any knowledge of its cause. I was falsely banned myself on the 21st of Jan while I was in the firing range after a TDM match. I was simply aim training when the ban occurred, and the only things that I had open/used at the time of me playing were "Crosshair X" and Steam Launcher settings.This game
Man we had to wait like 3 hours to play this game that you guys promise to fix season in and season out. For 2 seasons now I've ran into being kicked from your servers especially when I'm actually doing very well. I've lost today alone over 1500 to die to this me getting kicked mid game you already stole 3 hours of our grind time so why is this issue a thing losing points for your crappy servers. Or running into a 3 stack cheater squad lobbing ppl out of game to get free kills this game has become absolutely absurd. I got d3 last season both split and end up s3 while ppl who haven't even hit diamond on a regular are hitting gold on resets it's annoying to work so hard and not only be ripped off by the game but by the same company begging us to spend money on cosmetics. With all that money you make off us car you ban all cheaters and fix the fuggin servers so this doesn't happen the integrity of the game means nothing if you can't even play the game with out ea **bleep** on your grind
