Battle Eye Global Ban #e264 / Rocket Re-view Please!!

[Rough89 1]

Alright, well being one of those people that doesn't like the current 1.7.1.5 patch, I attempted to revert my DayZ file to the 1.7.0 version to play on one of those servers still running. Seeing that there are ZERO guides that provide any details WHATSOEVER on how to exactly do it all I downloaded and moved was the 1.7.0 CODE into my addons folder.

I attempted to join a 1.7.0 server and made it to the lobby, I then made it to the creating character selection and BAM. I received a message saying BattleEye global ban #e264. I can't join any DayZ servers, but can join other games.

WTF is a #e264 ban? Anyone have any idea? Also why the hell did I get banned for changing a single file to play on the old 1.7.0 servers? BI basically said herp derp we don't give a shit, we know battle eye sucks and runs on windows 1998 message them about it. I have and still waiting on a response.

Hollow rant follows - Anyone up for raiding the Battle Eye company and bleeding them dry for offering shit cheat protection ( because A. they couldn't stop the hackers in the first place and took FOREVER to ban ANYONE), while were at it, we could update their software to be more responsive. I would believe everyone here knows more than they do.

Thank you rocket, I sent them an email. The thing I was wondering is WHY I got banned. When reverting to the older version I only downloaded and moved the DayZ 1.7.0 code file. Was I supposed to download and revert ALL the files, because the old files archive had all the different versions and I didn't know which ones went with which aside from the obvious DayZ 1.7.0 code.rar

Was it because you had items from the new patch on your character that were not in the older version and it saw it as cheating?

No clue' date=' I received an email from them saying I was GUID hacking and the information was clear, they weren't going to post it and they won't tell me what the hell I was banned for. The character I was on hadn't died moving from the 1.7.1.5 version to the 1.7.0 so I guess I would have the new items on there. Also like I said I have all the current versions of the dayz addons in the file. I only downloaded and moved the DayZ 1.7.0 Code.rar, not the vehicles / weapons n all those over either. I didn't know I had to do those or which ones went with which.

This is some complete BS! I have 3 hours of gameplay for Arma2: OA for the dayz logged on my steam. I barely know how to play the game MUCH LESS desire to cheat. If I'm gonna get banned for something I better be doing it, this is shoddy work done by an outdated company that needs to get burned to the ground and pissed on.

Anyways Rocket if you could please, would having the current weapons / vehicles ect files in my DayZ addons folder mixed with the 1.7.0 dayz code and trying to join a 1.7.0 server have caused this? I mean the new version's have the different debug monitor and stuff on the right side like the face n hunger n cold. Could this have caused a false positive with the GUID monitor and have been the reason I got banned? Because I played just fine until I tried reverting to the 1.7.0 server?

I need a member of the dev team to review this issue and let me know if using the updated files of DayZ with the 1.7.0 patch could have caused the false positive GUID hack detection.

When I was attempting to revert I figured through process of elimination ( joined a 1.7.0 server and receiving invalid file errors ) I would eventually get the right versions.

I didn't and instantly received a ban and the battle-eye people did absolutely no investigation into the matter.

Think about it, every update you usually are updating multiple files! so if you need to revert, /you would need to revert all those files. IE dayz_equip/dayz_weapons all contain code for the new items weapons added in the 1.7.1.* branch, who knows, things like mismatches like this could be how people are injecting scripts into the game in the first place (and therefore getting banned for it)

Build your case and email BattleEye with all the details, show some respect for the companies, if you sent your email similar to the attitude you've posted here, I'd consider yourself lucky you even got a reply from them in the first place.

The problem with your statement is the fact that I DID know there were other files that went with that patch and needed to be replaced, but the old files archive have them ALL clumped together and the weapons file doesn't say weapons 1.3.4 (USED IN 1.7.0).rar it just has some random version number and no reference to which DayZ code it went with.

I have messaged Batte-eye many times and asked them to look over the logs and check the reason behind the ban. I told them what I was doing and that it banned me the instant I tried running on the reverted server. I asked them to check in with the versions, but they blatantly refused and simply said the logs said I was detected with a GUID hack and they wouldn't publish the information, they won't tell me why, what, when, or how. So whatever I bought a new copy of the game and running fine. All I did was delete my DayZ addons folder and used Six updater. So apparently using updated files on outdated servers will get you banned for GUID hacking.

Dev's need to post a sticky somewhere warning this will and can happen to avoid future incidents.

or just remove all public access to older versions.
