N66 97 Posted July 1, 2020 I'm sure if you bought a brand new laptop, fresh out of the box, that did not cost 2000€, the situation would have been entirely different. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twixality 2 Posted July 1, 2020 Unrelated, but I've seen posts of people getting banned for having AutoHotkey installed on their pc. This concerns me cause I have it installed and use it to, for example, have quick access to emotes on SS13. Of course I'm not dumb to leave the script running and launch APB, but I don't want my account to end up being banned one day for no reason, just because BattleEye found AHK installed and falsely identified me as a cheater.

Musul Man 60 Posted July 1, 2020 13 hours ago, ColorBauss said: I've never cheated, never installed any cheats or ever gotten any permanent or temporary bans. Even still, with all the constant changes in anti-cheat and people talking how they are getting blocks from BE for no good reason, makes me wonder how safe I am. With the amount of high ranking closet cheaters in this game that have never been banned that have spent thousands of dollars in hacks and armas stuff, and those few that make the hacks and sell them.., I'm not surprised they'd come here and say "I was banned out of nowhere and I've been playing for 10 years with no problems". So I can't really believe the OP. It will be up to the devs to decide with what info they have. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its very likely they are attempting to get on the devs' good side by playing innocent. This tactic went on for years with closet cheaters and gamersfirst, lets hope LittleOrbit does not hear them and stand their ground with the banning decisions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was outraged and gave up on it after the 3 days (today) i assumed my ban would be lifted but no it is permamently banned could not even get past log in screen! I have spent 1200€ on this game and more then 3500 hours there is no reason to hack!! Ticket has been logged with support 118919 I wish for a speedy recovery as this is not normal Never had any issue for 5 years and now banned...... Please help. Thanks in advance! This was just to share with you all. 4 of my accounts were banned just like yours, but it was not for playing on a new leptop. I was just with Discord and StreamElements doing live as usual, then there was a 3-day ban, right after standing, when I tried to show the forum what happened, a GM n allowed the topic and said "This was my and the company's problem ". At the Emais I just said that I used cheating. 2 people I know have banned the same way. I've been playing APB since 2012 and so far I don't understand, I'm just not wasting time playing anymore, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magik 184 Posted July 15, 2020 Only thing it to contact support, which you already did, so not much else we can do here on the forums other than repeat the same (sometimes kind, others not so) words. "Put in a ticket and wait for support to get to it" I too work in IT, and getting to tickets will take time. If you didn't do anything against the ToS, or the EULA, then you should be fine. Sidenote, not sure where having a 2,000 euro laptop figures into this. My gaming desktop is less than half the price, and it runs perfectly, hasn't banned me even temporarily. (make sure you weren't team killing or anything grief wise, as one of my friends got a temp ban for tk'ing too much) best of luck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonhead666 2 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I also have an account since 2012 and got banned from EAC in January. Some kind of super skill game, I'm not different to give a ban. Moreover, when you spend most of your gaming time in a social district and do themes. Coincidence? I do not think. The support wrote that I used a third-party program. It's a pity only 5000+ hours of play on the character. Edited July 17, 2020 by Demonhead666 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ilyas 15 Posted July 19, 2020 Maybe you were falsely banned and hopefully it will get resolved if it's the case. But posting about it wont fix anything. And like 99% of the banned posts, the presumed reason for the ban is compleatly nonsensical. A driver or mouse program, maybe. But new hardware, seriously? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReaperTheButcher 177 Posted July 19, 2020 You can even play on a 200k$ supercomputer, if you manipulate the game by exploit/cheating and break the TOS your account will be eradicated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketog 1032 Posted July 20, 2020 On 7/1/2020 at 10:28 AM, safdfsgkjhdgsjkhs said: also BE is stopping Auto Hot Key so thats good. I'm using a program called 'Peace' which is an equalizer i use for my headphones and i was being kicked off APB once i closed this program i was able to play like normal. I believe this program is made or has something in it that uses AHK so now i just turn it off when playing apb. I just hope that they dont ban players for having programs like that... im pretty happy that it just kicked me to login screen instead of flagging me for "3rd party software" like what happened to me with EAC. The Peace GUI is made with AutoIT , so it's no surprise that it caused issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSxW 47 Posted July 20, 2020 @safdfsgkjhdgsjkhs Good one of my friends provide LO CEO with enough informations to ban all Autoit, Ahk (even the ones used wrappers) without false positives @Demonhead666 i will not be able to play 5000+ hours on one character i preffer multiaccounts tho ... PS. some time ago i got FairFighted by going out of bounds too much times which was counted as Teleproting/Speedhacking(link below) or shield exploiting or whatever that was (it was the time of halloween where ppl was exploiting shield clipping through floor so devs added measure for that and it propably hit me while i was jumping with vegas4x4 in empty district - or it was just a manual ban cause some GM dont like me who knows ...)

Omega101 16 Posted July 25, 2020 first off, as so many cheaters forget, hacking is just one of the ways to get banned, Cheating in any for will and should get you banned. The problem is that the cheating epidemic is not being handled. For every cheater banned 10 continue un banned. But to be fair did you do any of these things: jumprungrabcarryitem.bot: Grab an item and run shoot grab carry jump etc with it? This is an example of using macros which is banned wallling: Have your video super low, or modified, so the shaders are off and you can see through everything. This is actually hacking because you have modified your files Helped your clan while not in the mission by blocking, hitting, ramming etc... This is exploiting the grey status you said you were in sovereign so,,, were you grouped with a cheater and did not report them or quit the mission. This is also exploiting, you are using the cheaters cheats to your advantage. Do you have any graphics or sounds that are offensive or racist? is also banned Were you taking advantage of a bug or glitching an item? also banned I have found that every one that has been banned was breaking the rules, they may have not been hacking but keep in mind that Just being in a cheat clan playing with them is ban able under the exploiting rules. If your clanmates are cheating and you allow them then all of you can be banned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
