Even if this Code belongs to some banwave of one of the big cheat providers, if there even are ones that provide updates to this point, you are straight up naive to think everybody who comes here searching for the reason they got banned in a game from 2011 is lying. Why would they? The game costs about 5€ so everybody can just buy another copy and cheat on lmao.
The only reason im complaining is because i put a massive amount of time in this game and it is in no way fair to get this taken away from me for no other reason than a **** anicheat detecting whatever the **** it wants. Punkbuster couldnt detect cheats when this game was new and im pretty sure it cant now. The only reason there are less cheaters is that fewer people still play.
I for my part did not cheat in BF3 in all my 1k+ hours on multiple accounts and still got banned on my main account 2 days ago, so there is that.(on a clean windows installation i recently did because i upgraded some hardware.)
I didn't reformat my PC no, I got banned last year with another code attached to it, can't remember what code it was now, but it was a different one. I realize it is kinda foolish to not reformat my pc after getting falsely banned last year, but I didn't really give much thought about it. Bought a BF3 acc cuz I felt like playing Noshar Canals TDM again.
My last account was called MrDraken, if anyone feels like checking it out, its like 0.1% cheatometer, and it has Bf3, Bf4, Bf1 and BFV on it, and I'm not banned in any of those games. Its just Evenbalance that are giving away false positive bans again in Bf3 like they have been doing since day 1.
I'm really glad they aren't using Evenbalance anymore for their new games, it feels like Evenbalance are just banning random players for random reasons to make their own statistics look good to potential customers.
Keep your secret, then
I've been banned, and I didn't use any cheat
I wille not die because of not be able to play BF3, but it's a pain in the **** because it's the only game I find fun time to time !!
Any help would be welcome, though !
I also think it is no false/positive.
It is not about the money. It is always about the credibility in clans and inbetween friends.
That is not true.
They still do detect cheats. As you can see in this banwave. Triing to blame the Antihacks for being banned just looks like the standard procedure in hoping not to loose the credibility in a clan etc.. But be honest to yourself: All your friends are unsure about your skills already and you will probably never gain back their full trust.
I do not believe this at all.
Dude your banned. The is no lifting of bans on the anti hack sites. These are not server sided bans. But a new account and deal with it.
It doesn't matter what you think or believe.
There have been false detections since the start of the game, thats a fact.
I don't know wether you even know how anticheats like punkbuster work and what they do to detect cheaters but i guess you don't.
With signature-based cheat detection there is always a chance to detect something where there really is nothing to detect in the first place.
In the early days you could spam well crafted strings into chat and get everyone receiving the message banned, so there is that.
Even newer systems like fairfight and whatever COD-Bo4 is using ( i guess trey arch anti-cheat) do detect false positives from time to time.
Your point of me losing any kind of credibility is just so wrong i dont know where to start. Im not that active in BF3 anymore. I have like 10 active players in my FL and they either know that i wasn't cheating or are just acquaintances i don't really care about in the first place.
To get this wrapped up:
- AntiCheats aren't foolproof
- Try not to judge to fast about things you dont have enough information to form an informed opinion
Well it matters a lot because I know quite much about these topics. You just seem to be ignorant and your post looks very arrogant when you say that.
Never said that there have been no false detection by an anticheat.
Well better luck next time. Guess again. Just an idea: Try asking people before you judge them. You seem to think that everything you say is correct. Nobody is perfect and that counts for you and for me.
You should try guessing less and being sure more with having a with proof.
I corrected your post here. These are not reasons at all for being not afraif of loosing credibility.
Maybe the only thing that is right in your post.
Same for you. How can you be sure that all these bans are false/positives? I would be happy about a real source that is proofing that I am wrong/that the bans are false detections. If you can find a Website saying that Punkbuster agreed they made a mistake in this case I am happy to correct myself on the topic that this is no false detction but just the attempt of hackers to convince the anti hacks made false detections for trying to not lose their credibility.
Does it really matter what the name of the current COD AntiCheat is?
Losing credibility doesnt seem to be an angst that cheaters share with you: recent case of twitch streamer caught cheating
Again I never said all of the bans are false positives. I came here stating that i think mine is. I dont know about any of the other cases, I only know mine.My first account that was banned (approx 1 year ago) had several hundred hours on it and cheat-o-meter is about 0.1%. Second account I bought just a few weeks ago, for some reason it doesnt show up on cheat-o-meter becuase it says I havent played enough (even though it has like 40-50 hours play time on it), but looking on my battlelog, theres literally no shady stats what so ever. I have a decent headshot rate with snipers (around 30-40%) but thats because Ive added up thousands of hours in one battlefield or another and thats it.
The reason we are here whining about it (I assume), is because we feel cheated by an unfair automated anti-cheat, that isnt working. I know this for a fact, but the problem is that no one who hasnt been wrongfully banned already will accept that statement. If it were any other game or any other anti-cheat service Id be really sceptical too (VAC/BattleEye w/e), but since punkbuster and evenbalance have made several mistakes beginning from day 1 in battlefield 3 this shouldnt be dismissed by the community so easily.
I highly doubt all the the bans in this and other banwaves are incorrect, but even if as little as 1% of the bans are wrong, thats a massive problem, and judging from how many forum posts there are about an 8 year old game, Im assuming the percentage of wrongful bans are probably more likely in the 10-20% range.
If I was hacking and got banned for it, would I really spend my time whining on a forum about it? Everyone knows if you cheat, chances are youre gonna get banned sooner or later.
I am here because I feel a need to let others who have had the same experience as Ive had know that atleast theyre not alone. You wont get your account back, but it isnt your fault.
Evenbalance and punkbuster are terrible at their jobs, because even in gaming there should be SOME transparency about how theyre doing their business. I get that you cant divulge your entire process, but when the backlash is this massive, they should be held atleast to some extent accountable. I know this will never happen but like I mentioned in my previous post, Im glad that they arent responsable for any other high profile games anymore.
ok, let me hop in here to.
it did not happen to me, but to someone i play a lot with, in our group we had some ideas about it, he says spotting,spotting,but when on TS3 he made the mistake to say that xx players are comming from a sertain direction (while they are not visible in the minimap)
5 days ago the guy got this message, its translated from german:
connection to server disconnected: you got kicked by punkbuster (reason: punkbuster permanent ban issued for on this game for player '<playername>' GLOBAL punkbuster GUID BAN <last few digits of his pbguid> )
ANY,but ANY BF3 server he tries get kicked out.
He even received a error from EA that he needs to reconfirm his BF3 account.
but on BF4 he can play !
so, i dont know how or what, but in my thinking, a PBGUID is the same for all games, so how can he play BF4 ?
<- not banned, still plays
<- not banned, still plays
Why have you got 2 forum accounts?
"Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player '[private]' ... GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN 071506ff"
What THE HELL? I've never cheated, don't know how to, and would never cheat. How is it falsely detecting me of something I never did? It still keeps me unjustly banned after I used https://www.evenbalance.com 's PunkBuster Update app (PBSetup v3.8). I wrote an appeal with evenbalance, but have not received a reply yet. What can I do to make them fix this problem? Report to the Better Business Bureau or what? I paid full price for this game too!
I read all the topic and it seems a lot of people have this problem and what? Can't do anything? That's all? After 8 years of playing the best game in the world I got screwed for no reason and that's it? I don't understand it. Is there anything anyone can do with that?
