PresidentEvil 2 Posted September 22, 2012 do they ban the IP so the player cannot connect to any server?cause in the non-steam version there no account registration or anything so how would they ban people?cant you just make a new profile or use a new computer and play again?

SmashT 10907 Posted September 22, 2012 It's tied to the cd key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ActionManZlt 160 Posted September 22, 2012 The steam version doesn't even use your steam account for registration, it still uses a cd key like the non-steam version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie Jesus 723 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I am sure you are just curious, has nothing to do with the recent ban wave. Don't listen to smasht_AU, it is connected to your brain waves and will block you from ever accessing the game again.

sostronk 334 Posted September 22, 2012 BattleEye bans CD key. However, from reading some of the hack forums some people have experienced being banned, buying a new CD key and having that CD key instantly banned before they have even joined a game. Not everyone has experienced this though. I presume there is a workaround. I think instant bans might be related to Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
