got global banned for trying to increase FPS

[joaomalhao 0]

So i bought DayZ a week ago, and ive been waiting for the standalone for a long time now :P, but my computer isnt the best fit for it, so i googled some ways to increase my FPS performance. 

 One of the ways was to remove grass addon, the players that told me this said it was safe and i couldnt get banned or anything because it only increased ur FPS and made the game uglier.

   So for the last 3 days ive been playing without grass, and the games runs so muuuch more smoother :D

 

today when i joined a server, got global banned. Just trying to figure out if it was due to the addon or something else, and if i may be pardon (which im pretty sure i wont, buying the game again seems alot better for the devs, than going trough all the trouble to unban me).

 

 

  Btw, DayZ best game of the year  <3.<3

What's the error code or message you get?

 

Also, deleting game files is a pretty stupid thing from what I know and heard. And probably the reason, no matter what people told you.

Oh, i didnt delete them obviously, in the case of error. I moved two files (grass_cluster, and grass_cluster something xD) to the desktop, then i start the game. When i get to the menu i add the files again into the folder (basically the game loads without the grass but when i join a server, the server thinks i have the grass on because the files are inside) and basically that's it....massive FPS increase for the cost of grass. 

 

The msg is: Global ban : #677844

No grass gives you an unfair advantage I think when going prone with a rifle, normally your vision is pretty obscured by the grass. Hence why it may have resulted in a ban.

[Disgraced 1123]

People delete grass to cheat and get an edge in pvp.

You took a risk and got burned. Bummer.

I think something like this should just prevent you joining servers until the requisite files are present.

For myself, this would be a no brainier. You should have researched a little more.

Hello  There

 

AFAIK deleting the PBO etc will result in a kick and poss later a local ban not a BE one.

 

The plot thickens.

Lol, yea. I mean, i honestly had no idea i could get banned for this. At least a warning or something.          

   In a way i deserve it, but...BUT! i dont kill on sight and i help new spawns! cmon...im a nice guy! xDD

 

 

So far ive been killed 17 times, and i killed 1 player because he tried shooting at me.

Actually, I could see how removing grass would get you banned. Since grass isn't just there to be filler, it's there to give players cover. Say you are coming to kill me, my weapon has range and yours doesn't, or doesn't have the range that ine does. If you want to get me, you're going to have to catch me off guard. Problem is, we're on opposite sides of an open field. In order to get me, or to hide form me, you have to use the grass as cover. So there you are, crawling slowly through the grass, praying I don't see you until you can kill me or escape, except I can see you the whole time. You see, I got this nice little thing that removed all the grass from my client, so that big bushy tall grass that you are sneaking through doesn't exist for me, and what I see is some poor dumb, SOB creeping across the ground at me with a pistol. He doesn't know I can see him, I shouldn't be able to see him, only the grass bending as you crawl through it.

 

That's why you got banned. Grass is a mechanic, not filler and eye candy. You can't remove it.

Hello there

 

Well, unfortunately no one here can assist as we dont handle BE bans, so ill close this as per all Global Ban appeals.

 

www.battleye.com/support.html is the only place that you might find some help.

You can be as nice as whatever. If the system things you "cheated", it'll act.

 

If wrong people get banned that's a shame. I hear it happened on rare occasions or can occur in rare occasions but most of the time the system should be working as intended.

 

Anyway, gotta contact BE support.
