EA, Respawn, and unfair/unjust FairFight bans

[38fh2938fh2]

Just wanted to put this out there : Respawn is banning seemingly random accounts through FairFight, some not so random. I've seen at least 1 person from reddit who got randomly banned for seemingly no reason, I myself have friends that have been randomly banned for seemingly no reason, as well as ones who have been banned "with reason" (assumed) and myself who has been banned a few times with AND without reason. I can't tell if EA/Respawn enabled FairFight again, which is basically a really crappy server-side anti-cheat that is kind of known for banning people who are just good and play well. I mainly wanted to put this out there to help anyone who has actually been banned by FairFight and hasn't had their EA account disabled with it or disabled with it yet. You can get past the FairFight bans in a fairly simple way, although you WILL lose your progress in game.
Basically if you haven't had your EA account disabled/disabled yet you can still get the game again (for free, without buying a new account). To do this you'll need to reset your UID by unlinking your EA account from your steam account, and then relinking it to a new account. I describe how to do this here :

1. Log into EA on the website and go to account info/settings/etc. or from the EA app go to account info (it should open in your browser)
2. Go to the "connections" tab
3. Find steam, and click "unlink" It will have you go through to confirm, etc. and send a confirmation email with a code.
4. after unlinking, make a new e-mail, and create a new EA account. I HIGHLY recommend you do this on a VPN or change your local IP if you know how to.
5. To link the new EA account to steam, simply go to steam, and launch VANILLA titanfall 2. Not vanilla titanfall 2 with northstar as a mod loader, not northstar, or any other custom client/launcher, just regular TF2. This should bring up a screen to link your steam to an EA account, from there log into the EA account you just created.
6. again, I HIGHLY recommned using a VPN/changing your local IP before doing any of this, and while playing TF2 especially.

After this you should be able to play TF2 again. This method only works if you own the game on steam. Also note that you can only unlink your EA account from your steam account through EA and only once every 6 months.

If you're REALLY worried about getting fairfight banned often, then you can wait until the game goes on sale and buy 27 steam accounts, then wait to link them. Simply link 1, play on it, if you get banned by FairFight unlink, move to the next account, link it, play, and so on. If you got banned once per week on average this would make you unable to be banned. I do not recommend this as it would cost $80 approx. but yeah that's the state of TF2
