Falsely banned
Hello, I am submitting a follow‑up appeal regarding the “gameplay enhancement” ban on my Battlefield 6 account. I want to respectfully state again that I was not cheating, and I believe this was a false positive caused by normal streaming software running on my PC. My first and second appeals were denied, but neither response addressed the specific details of my setup. I also got an email stating the same thing that i was cheating when that is completely untrue. Because of this, I am requesting a manual human review, not an automated re-check. At the time I was playing, I was running: OBS Studio (for recording/streaming) Snap Camera with the community patch (to enable virtual avatars) Standard overlays such as Discord, Steam, and NVIDIA OBS and Snap Camera both use legitimate capture hooks and virtual camera drivers, which can sometimes be misinterpreted by anti‑cheat systems as memory manipulation or frame injection. I believe this is what triggered the false “gameplay enhancement” flag. To assist with your investigation, I am requesting a full manual review of: Anti‑cheat logs Memory hook detections Any flagged processes Any gameplay-related evidence I am 100% certain I did not cheat, and I am willing to go to my grave believing that I was not cheating. If need be, I am willing to provide any system information needed to verify this. Also, i can not provide my stream of battlefield as it will not allow me to download it without purchasing youtube premium, but my youtube is @therealjbplayz if someone would like to view my live streams there. If i was actually cheating then I would not be trying this hard to get my account back. Most people who cheat are rich enough to afford getting banned on this game. I have a wife and daughter and i make 45000 a year. My point being, i can't afford to cheat, let alone risk getting banned on a 70 dollar that i love to play. Please, I am simply asking for a fair, human review. Thank you for taking the time to review my case.

Congratulations on Season 4.
A nostalgic move makes a comeback!!😍 That mechanic from the BF4 era—using a knife to move a boat—is the best.👍

EA Officially Planning Linux/Proton Support for Javelin Anti-Cheat
Hey everyone, Great news for Battlefield players on Linux and Steam Deck! A recent EA job listing (March 2026) for a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer confirms that EA is finally working on Linux compatibility. The listing explicitly states the goal to: "Chart a path for EA Javelin Anticheat to support additional OS and hardware in the future, such as Linux and Proton." Key Takeaways: Official Recognition: EA is finally prioritizing Linux/Proton for their newer kernel-level anti-cheat. Battlefield Future: This paves the way for Battlefield 6 and 2042 to eventually run without being blocked by Javelin. Handheld Growth: This move likely targets the massive growth of Steam Deck and Linux-based handhelds. It’s not an overnight fix, but the groundwork is officially being laid. How soon do you think we’ll see the first "Playable" rating for the newer BF titles? Source: overclock3d.net

[CURRENT ISSUE] Anti-Virus blocking User Folder (Screenshots/Gallery/Mods..)
There's currently an issue where some virus programs (namely AVG and AVAST) are blocking the user folder. There are several symptoms currently for this issue Taking Screenshots and Videos doesn't work as the game is unable to write them to the screenshot/recorded video folder Mods/CC and other changes in the options stay how they currently are cause the game is unable to write the changes to the file Gallery has red X showing instead of pictures. I assume that's the same problem as the game is unable to download the thumbnail pictures to the cache folder GameVersion.txt shows the wrong game version To solve this you need to add the following files as an exception to your Antivirus Program (see instructions for your particular program on how to do this). C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\EADesktop.exe C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe For DX9: C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_DX9_x64.exe Paths may vary depending on your installation. Both Avast/AVG have sections for Ransomware. You need to add it there. Please see instructions here: Add Exceptions to Anti Virus Programs If you are using Windows Defender, the Ransomware settings have similar effects. Details on how to solve this here: Windows 10 Defender – Controlled Folder Access If this doesn't help, try deleting your cache files: Delete Cache Files and move options.ini to the desktop. If you have further issues, please state which program your using in your post.
