[Fixed] Global ban - I've bought the game 3 times, still getting this issue.

[Fixed] I re-installed Arma II OA, now I'm up and running :D

Hello, I was recently global banned due to unknown reasons. I was playing with my clan, and suddenly the server owner and myself are global banned. We were in a skype call, and we have no ideas on why this happened to us.

I tried buying new keys, and ordered 5 from a friend, I played on each one for about 30 minutes before getting global banned. In fustration of being so stupid and wasting my money, I made a new steam account, and purchased Arma II once more. I installed the game, using steam's key that it registered with the game, and when I join a DayZ server I'm still global banned. I tried this once more, and I'm still global banned.

So, 7 keys later, I'm still getting banned after 30 minutes play time maximum. Why is this happening? I've re-installed Arma II on my original steam account, and used a new key, but it's global banned too.

Any help would be appreciated, I really want to play again, and I'm fustrated that I've lost gear due to this.

Anyone who claims to have bought the game 7 times cannot be innocent, i suggest you disable what ever you're not telling us or buy legit keys because i don't know who would pay for Arma 2 CO 7 times.

You could also try the obvious thing of contacting Battleye.

I didn't buy the game 7 times. I bought 5 keys, for $5 from a friend. I bought Arma II twice more because I'm sick of this issue. Also, why can my friend use those 5 keys, yet when I try it says I'm global banned?

I also dislike the way that everyone on this forum assumes that if you're global banned then you hacked.

(Edit: corrected spelling)

I'll help you troubleshoot your issue

1. Quit hacking.
   
2. Quit buying stolen CD keys(Hint hint, whoever is selling them sells the same CD key multiple times to hackers just like you who end up getting them banned!)
   
3. Play legit, hacking gets you nowhere and ruins the fun of the game.
   

Also, I'd say that its a good assumption that if you're global banned then you're a hacker. Sure there have been some false bans, but getting global banned on your 1st CD key and then 6 others just seems to yell "I'm a hacker! Help me play again so I can ruin your gameplay!"

Can i just ask you why you think Arma 2 Combined Ops is 30$ on steam, and you can get CD keys from a "Friend" for 5$.

I'll let you think about that personally i believe it's quite obvious.

I'm not hacking. And my friend can use the keys, but I can't.

I know it's obvious, but I wanted to try something that will stop me wasting big money. I'll take this up with BattlEye as I see this as a large fault in their system. Thanks for your help, I really hope I can play again.

(Also, I didn't buy CO, I bought OA. it's far cheaper :3)

Ok, thanks. I'm asking for some genuine, decent advice, and all I get is people like you yelling at me. I'm not one to fight, so I'll end this here. If you want to continue with your pointless comments, please feel free to. All it's doing is bumping the topic, attracting some real help.

Ok, I've fixed the issue. I re-installed Arma II on my original Steam account, now I can play again. I lost so much money buying 2 new copies :(
