Global Bans for legit players?

Recommended Posts

I'm sure the more of you contact battleye support, the more information they will get to figure out what did or didn't go wrong. I can tell you what they are not doing, looking at our forums for that information.

The concern is that the people who have been banned are using the latest release of ARMA 2 Beta. Some haven't, but it's early days yet. I haven't upgraded to the latest Beta nor been banned, and I don't have or alter scripts etc.

I will give it a week to ensure that the latest patch isn't causing illegal global bans on legit players, Im just not in the mood to risk $30 and probably a months worth of emails to resolve this. Then again, if it is going to be a widespread issue I'm hoping that the DayZ team will communicate with BI and BattlEye to resolve the issues and undo all global bans since 95777 (or whatever it is). Unfortunately this will probably also revert global bans for actual hackers since the beta, but it would be the only way to resolve this issue for legit players illlegitamately banned.

That would be difficult for the DayZ devs to do that since it'll have to revert all Arma 2 OA bans, not just DayZ, It'll be to difficult for Battleye to find all DayZ bans from 95777 release and over.

I've not been banned, but in response to the part I've emphasised; I'm not trying to say you should believe everyone who says they're innocent, of course cheaters will say they are innocent (or sorry, only once they've been caught), I'm just trying to explain that there are individuals in this thread I feel are worth taking at their word.

The fact that those individuals are, in my humble opinion, worth believing makes me inclined to think BattlEye have fucked up.

Well forgive me for being a cynic...I've had friends for years who turned out to be complete pieces of shit. I'm definitely NOT going to assume I know ANYTHING about someones character by their forum posts. Edited by playZ

Gather as much information as you can and bombard BattlEye with it. (In the nicest way possible, they are people too)

I recently decided to stop manually updating and wait for Six Launcher to do an auto update.

I believe Six Launcher doesn't push out a patch until it's confirmed working properly.

Not really, a simple script to revert all global bans since the moment 95777 should be doable by BattlEye.

Well forgive me for being a cynic...I've had friends for years who turned out to be complete pieces of shit. I'm definitely NOT going to assume I know ANYTHING about someones character by their forum posts.

Of course, it's natural to be quite cynical of anyones character on the internet, plus with what we see in DayZ behaviour as well.

But it may just be too much coincidence for this to start popping up the same day 95777 is released and I'm not going to chance it for at least a week to camp for 'thousands' of players posting about being banned. If this does happen, obviously there is an issue with the latest release. If it doesn't then we can assume the people who have posted their woes either are hackers or have come into possesion of in-game hacked items at some stage or altered scripts.

What can people do now?

Undertake SOP contact for BattlEye and I would also recommend creating a ticket at BI regarding the Beta causing your global ban. If BI receive enough tickets about this they will most likely instigate contact with BattlEye for resolution. Either way you are most likely not going to be playing for a little while.

Yeah!!! no one buy that shitty game if it weren't for dayZ....Then again no on e be playing DayZ if it weren't for that shitty game.

Then again it's actually a great game....Then again you sort of must not know the meaning of alpha because this is exactly how alphas are.....Then again maybe you should go back WOW or COD....then again maybe you just don't know how to play...then again....

IM JOKING. SAYING IT"S ALPHA WAS A JOKE!!!! SORTA LIKE SAYING NO ONE WOULD BUY ARMAII IF IT WERENT FOR DAYZ IS A JOKE... :) hysterical

I'm not sure I even want to play at the moment.

Legit players being banned, I personally know hackers who won't be banned, Battleye Support basically says "YOU BANNED BY MISTAKE? WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKE! HERE BOMB, FUCK YOU!".

Theories are saying it could be linked to custom skins

This is how I feel. I could delete all my profiles folders so I don't have to worry about edited config files, but some people here are saying they didn't edit theirs and still got banned. I'm so tempted to err on the side of caution and simply not play until we hear some kind of official response from BattlEye and/or DayZ's dev team.

Beans for making me laugh with proper application of one of my favourite memes.

yesterday i catched a talk between 2 guys talking about scripts in a IRC channel, one sayed "that all hackers should do this", if i understood it correctly they wrote scripts that execute scripts on other players client, maybe this is the reason for BE banns?

I have no idea how they would acheive such a thing, but if it's possible, it could be a reason, be I know for certain we are dealing with the new 95777 beta patch that is conflicting with Battleyes new Script Detection system.

You're welcome to try, but that won't get you anywhere.

Try this instead: http://www.battleye.com/support.html

If you know what the problem is, Beye needs to know.

Yes, I think all of us here knows that the new Arma 2 beta patch 95660 and newer are causing battleye conflictions with their new script detection system, possibly assuming it's a script injection trying to get through, causing a Global Ban.

It seems as so some good hearted people are being falsely banned. There's some topics on it here too floating around. But Im honestly scared that I'll log on and find myself globally banned.

Can anyone give their two cents if this happened to them? Post your beta patch too.
