oh you messed up

[zAlex]

Bro the thing is that the only apps that were opened in my pc was the game, discord, xbox console companion and steam, nothing else

[Sherlok]

Also they could ban you for the offensive driving (ramming is a major example).

[zAlex]

The reason I got banned was because I had a cheat software opened in the background, but the only apps that I had opened were the game itself, xbox console companion, discord and steam

if you use offensive or trolling gamertags, you get banned

My gamertag was "zAlex2007", I don't think that was the problem

So you had cheats open but didn’t…. Which one is it? Sounds like you had cheats open… by you admitting you had it open…. If it’s open in the background it’s still open.

Enjoy the ban, sounds like you deserve it

A similar thing happened to me where i got banned for supposedly having cheat software open, i can confirm that FH5, steam, Firefox, BlueStacks and Task manager aren't cheat software. Ramming and/or having an offensive username/livery should result in a different type of ban.

[tonkanator]

also just happened to me right now, had nothing running in the background compared to when i played yesterday.

Wait everyone, you didn't understood what I really meant. The reason I got banned for was cheats, but I didn't have one single cheat in my whole pc. "You have been banned for using a cheat software", that's what Microsoft told me, but I really hadn't anything in my pc, it was just random I think I can say, anyways it ends today

[SymX]

It could be a delayed ban, even if you cheated like last you can still get banned

[KelConquer]

It didn't seem too difficult to understand what you were saying. People here just seem to like to jump to conclusions. I have heard in the past that having Discord running in the background has been known to cause "false flags" for their cheat software.

*when I say "their" I mean all sorts of various games. I think it was an issue for GTA 5 at one point long ago too. People were running discord and getting bans.

[ZoDDeL]

part of their newer "anticheat" is to check running application on the system.
the application dont need to inject, hook, access the game in any way.
it just have to be running without doing anything.
on forza banhistory they state it exactly:
"Running cheat software on client alongside game"
if this application is on their blacklist you get a ban.
if they ever put discord, afterburner/riva, obs... on the list the fun starts spreading.

you did nothing wrong.
its an automated overtuned system that bans unjustified.
on the xbox live / microsoft store version you can appeal a ban with a ticket.
no idea if / how it works on steam.

Yes, exactly. I had discord open when I got banned, so maybe this is a possibility

Bro, the reason is cheats, that's what microsoft said. I got banned unjustified, because of the new anticheat apperantly. It can even ban you for having discord open or something like that, normal apps. I explained so many times that the reason I got banned for is "Using cheat software" but I don't have any cheat in my whole pc. Have no brain to judge?
