1 week ago I was playing BFV on Linux with Wine **without cheats** (I’ve been doing it for over a month and haven’t had any issues) and suddenly when playing a round of domination I got banned by FairFight. I’ve made 3 cases on EA Help and all of them basically said “you were cheating, you won’t be unbanned, we can’t give you any proof”. Is there any other way to get unbanned? How can I contact DICE about this issue? ---

You can’t. Sorry to say but you need to buy a new copy to play again. Can’t comment on Linux distro . Don’t know if that flags ff. ---

They did you a favor. ---

Depending on your country you could probably complain to some consumer service (no idea what to call it in English), in DK I would probably contact Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen (they have a website for complaining about companies), though in the end it would probably end with EA being in the right as somewhere in the User Agreement it probably says they can ban you for whatever. Alternatively you could try calling them instead, but I am not certain that will help a whole lot 😕 ---

I’m not sure whether they’d need to provide proof though if a claim was made. ---

I’m guessing Linux/wine was blocking and important function, hence the ban. Anything that blocks the games access, screen shots etc. can trigger something similar. Some anti cheats can have issues with Linux. Since Linux is unsupported, I don’t see you having much luck getting this ban lifted. I have a laptop with Linux but would never try to play games on it, way too much effort. JMHO
