Bought Again Still Banned...

[kortex27 0]

I have been playing DayZ for a long time now and I found a hack box and I probably shouldn't of taken anything out of it but I did and I was banned so I was tired of being banned and bought Combines Ops on the gamestop app (because you can't buy games twice on steam) and I downloaded it and I got a steam redeem code so when I put it in I installed everything and when I went to play DayZ it was still banned?

 

 

Please help Thanks

Probably still have your old arma cd key in the registry. I don't know how to change it or figure out your new one, but that sounds like the issue.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure you don't get global banned for picking up items in a hacked box. Unless, maybe you did it for a long period of time and they tracked you constantly doing it.

Wouldn't getting a Steam redeem code for a game you already have be the same as buying the game again? That's not going to get you unbanned, Steam won't issue a separate CD key for a game already on your profile. You need a non-steam version.

Just taking something out of a hacker box wouldn't get you banned.

You're out of luck, you had to validate your new CD key on a new Steam account, now both your keys are banned. Also, picking up items from a hacked box doesn't get you banned, you hacked.

 picking up items from a hacked box doesn't get you banned, you hacked.

 

Just so it sinks in.

Is there any way to recognize a hacked box if you find it? I'm just a gamer and no nothing of all this and would like to no how to avoid it. -props.

You can't be banned for picking up non-legit items, the OP is telling porkeys.

 

Anyway, we don't deal with cheaters here. I'll tell you that you need to remove the old CD key from your Steam account and add the new one and send you on your way. Google is your friend.
