PotatoChip 0 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) pretty much i've contacted support, steam support, and battleye. I've been looking around the forums and haven't seen this anywhere so here. So i got global banned on my first copy of Arma II OA playing DayZ. I knew there was nothing to stop this or get unbanned and as fun as this game is, i wanted to still play. I made a new steam account and purchased Arma II OA again to play and when i loaded up through steam (new cd key) it still said global ban when i tried to join any server. I contacted battleye because i read the post at the top and it said don't post about global bans, but this is more of a bug, so I think. Anyways, hope to get some replies and hope I can play DayZ sometime in the future. Edited July 11, 2012 by PotatoChip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandwichx 103 Posted July 11, 2012 So, you're trying to get around a ban, and you're upset because it's not working out for you? What? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suspense 210 Posted July 11, 2012 Delete the arma OA registry entries and you will be able to register your new key upon launching the game through Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ripbabyg@hotmail.co.uk 125 Posted July 12, 2012 The Global ID Ban would still be in place if the guy above did not get around it already, he could google it yes, but instead he came to the Game's forums to ask how to get around a Global ban, for hacking the game on there forums, i do not detect brilliant logic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) We don't ban players for posting global ban appeals. I seen some developers do that sometimes, but not us.Edit: Keeping thread open, seems legitimate bug. Edited July 12, 2012 by Legacy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebluefish92 0 Posted July 12, 2012 He obviously did something to get banned, and he paid the price. Everyone stop bashing because he's most likely learned his mistake that time.Anyways, did you completely erase the install? Just searching around for similar issues suggests that completely nuking the install, and removing any leftover registry keys afterwards, then re-installing the game should work. The only other thing I can think of is to get another installer, for example amazon's installer, using that to install the game, and then provide the new CD key from Steam.

Macenzie 79 Posted July 12, 2012 If he gets banned, learns his lesson and pays again to play the game without hacks this time then good on him.If he comes back and hacks again, he deserves a real life punch in the dick, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 61 Posted July 12, 2012 I would say he deserves a punch in the vag anyway for hacking and ruining everyone's fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted July 12, 2012 Do me a favor and check your player ID in the ARMA2 menu. By that we can see if you have played before on that key or not, if yes: your new key isn't being used. If not, the new key should be activated and you should be able to play. It's a good thing to start having a look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFluffy (DayZ) 3 Posted July 13, 2012 Also make sure that you dont have cheat engine or whatever you where using running, no idea if BE only scans memmory but remove from harddrive just in case. I can only assume that will will fry your new key real fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You people are just stupid to think someone who was globally banned isn't going to come back and not cause havok. I have done admin work before. If we were to ban someone, and they tried to come back with a different IP, we would just make sure they never come back. I bet you guys are the people who get stabbed in the back for trusting everyone you see, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
