smoke_ 2 Posted April 7, 2013 Hi everyone, here is the story:I got banned, dont know why. I came back from a week long break from the game to a global ban. I emailed battleye and they said that there was definitive proof of hacking. I dont hack so the only remaining options are either that battleye screwed up (I assume that doesnt happen alot) or that someone stole my guid and was using it to play. I am waiting to see what bohemia says about giving me a new key and if they wont give me a new key I will buy a one. Either way, I dont want this to happen agian. I am not dumb enough to download suspicious software (only related software I have is dayzcommander and a ramdisk app) so I am at a total loss as to how someone could have stolen my guid. I dont share my steam account or related information either.This is not an "OMG I GOT BANNED! TELL BATTLEYE TO GIVE ME BACK DAYZ!" post. I was just wondering if anyone else had had an experience like this or had any advice on how avoid this in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Keystealers can be disguised as any type of software you can imagine (patches, maps, performance boosters ect.), the golden rule is that if you don't trust the source 100%, don't download the file. BTW your GUID can be made public without problems, it's separate from your game key.Anyhoo, soz to here you can't play ATM.

smoke_ 2 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I am trying to get help, why would I lie? I have seriously not downloaded anything, other than the new patches, which I do directly from dayz commander. No maps, no preformance boosters, no youtube hacks (seriously?). If I had I would assume that was the problem and not be fumbling around in the dark for causes.And sorry I assumed that the game key = guid. I assumed thats what everyone called the 32(it is 32 right?) hexadecimal digits that identify your game copy. Edited April 8, 2013 by smoke_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
