If it's an account ban you're basically out of luck since you would need to login to access single player

Not that I'm aware of, you would need a new steam account and a new copy of the game at a minimum, You may also find that you have been hardware banned which means even on a new account your computer would be flagged and subsequently the new account would be banned also.

I would contact EA support if I were you, they will be able to advise better than I could.

ah so you didn't have 2 factor authentication enabled, that's rough but it's a lesson I hope you learn for the future.

2FA everything so it makes it 100x more difficult for anybody to get access to your account.

Hardware bans are also avoidable apparently from what I have seen with Tarkov hacker whistle-blowers.

There are ways around it, But cheaters aren't the most intelligent folk out there.

You don't need to be a coder to launch an exe, But to say HW bans doesn't happen is laughable because it does.

I'm not going to say I know the ins and outs of the anticheat, but I do know they do HW bans even if you don't hear of it happening.

They need to do what Respawn Entertainment done. I was an Alpha/Beta tester for Titanfall back in the day and once it was released, there were many hackers in the game. After all the complaints and proof. RE developed this thing called FairFight which didn't actually ban hackers it just read their game file on log in and placed them all on a separate servers so hackers and cheaters could hack and cheat each other. I stopped playing it after a while due to the match making. Lower skilled players were always getting high skilled players and even when the better players swapped side to try and even it out, it didn't work that well. One side would always fill up with high level players.

I hear that T2 is full of hackers now, as well.

Someone hacked my BF 3 account a few years back and got caught cheating using my profile and I got punkbuster banned for 7 years.

The IP address was was somewhere in Russia, so it was easy to see I was hacked.
But evidently that is too complicated for the "hack of a company" in Austin TX to figure that out.

I feel ya Raffin - Hang in there.

Thing is, It's not as if the ban was wrong, your account was caught cheating, not you.

I'm guessing this was before 2FA was a thing, Ideally you should have contacted support the moment you lost access to it so they could have done something about it.

Thankfully now with 2FA it's not really an issue anymore, except for those that opt to not enable it.
