Thanks for the reply. Do you think EA should step in and do something about this wave of PB bans occurring? This is an EA games AAA title after all. Obviously, EB has dropped the ball and is doing a terrible job recently. As such, this surely has the potential to negatively effect EA’s PC gaming populous. I, for example, own BF3 & BF4 on PC and the xboxone. My son plays the xboxone version mainly. If these false positives are not rectified, why in the world would I buy another EA game or promote their products?
You’re just assuming they are false positives, have you been banned also? Just asking as if you were banned then you would know what you’d been running or if you had been cheating or not then you can state your case.
Yeah you i remember (sorry to spinejam again) you took my tags a few times.Saw your name on the list,it’s too bad this can go on. Get the feeling punkbuster is to arrogant to look into their anti cheat software.Hope EA will keep it out of the next one too.
@Kanmanhei,don’t be so salty,alot here are talking about this for their legit reasons. Kicking someone who’s down isn’t very funny.
See now (page 5) that you’re in the same pickle,sorry for you,but that comment still doesn’t help.
I’m not assuming anything and I believe a lot of members here have a no mercy attitude toward the accused. Surely there are people that have cheated and deserve to be banned. For the record, my account “spinejam” was PB banned on 03/26/2018. Fact: I do not cheat - that’s it! Unfortunately, the way this system is set up, all I can do is appeal and wait for however long it takes.
I hope EB realizes this and clears my name expeditiously so I can play the game I have enjoyed for many years.
Yes i did,he was commenting on someone called “kikokan” which comment you chose to quote and point at yourself.He was just responding to you like you we’re that “kikokan” and not realising you we’re someone else.
Cheaters does not have mercy on anyone, selfish as they are, they are like the thief who has been taken on a deed saying, I have not taken anything.
There are those who have acted badly in the opposite direction, mocking them as saying that there are cheaters and great opportunities to buy artificial skill when one’s own abilities are not enough.
In that case, I think members have more understanding, than the thiefs or cheaters.
I think the really frustrating part besides being banned unfairly, is the lack of communication, or more specifically the time to get a reply. My last reply from Alex J was 3 weeks ago today. I’ve added some additional info, asked a couple questions, and offered to help them get to the bottom of this in any way that would help. Maybe no news is good news, hard to say, I just wish we knew they were taking a serious look at this to determine what else is at play here.
The only thing that changed on my pc was GeForce experience installed.
Edit..
Just noticed on this ban I am said to be based United States (I am UK), I don’t use a VPN at all on this machine. I do use software VPN on a streaming machine on the tv downstairs.
I remember in my COD2 day’s TS3 sometimes said I was from US. Maybe?
I know I said I would not respond anymore.. But damn it’s difficult.. Really my last response here as I see some false info leak in.. I think the OP was never banned, at least he hasn’t responded anymore since @DIRTYGreeny pointed to the usual error codes PB gives.. There also were never any bans logged on his GUID. It seems that OP’s thread got hijacked.
↓Thanks Greeny for adding the part about OP’s grav xD
The issue the OP had was not because of a ban via a violation, the thread side tracked into actual punkbuster bans starting with the very second post which turned out to be a global ban rather than just what was needed to solve a general punkbuster kick (i.e punkbuster A not starting).
Edit: ah I forgot and also on the first page it was established that OPs avatar isn’t the person behind the account.
