Yeah mate, same here. Appealed and rejected instantly, no given reason at all. It seems to be a common problem with some software, a lot of people are getting it. They just are doing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing about it.

did you play MW2/3/BO6 at all? its crazy that they wont even tell people what application is causing an issue, surely if they had half a brain, they could figure out the problem. i dont want to play the recent cod games just in case.

It really seems like a under ground thing, could you do me a favor? If you use Windows 11, go to Windows Update and click on update history are you on version 24H2 of windows? It shouldnt be our job as the consumer that we get wrongly banned and still looking for what caused the ban in the first place, i hope in the coming weeks the spike in innocent people getting banned is going to prompt them to fix :/

thats probably the game that flagged you instead of bocw specifically, if i had to guess their poor excuse of an anticheat is conflicting with other background proccesses that are in the kernal in windows, for what it is specifically i have no idea. BOCW's anticheat isnt anywhere near as bad as this in terms of false bans.

I got a ban with her same message a few days after upgrading to 24H2. I was wondering if it might be related since I don't have much software installed that's well known to interfere with anticheat (eg overlays, mouse/keyboard software). I submitted a big report on the Activision website but I doubt they'll look at it or believe me tbh. I bet a lot of cheaters complain they were "falsely banned" too, they probably just assume that's the case for us too :/

I too have Win 11 24H2 and was banned within 2 rounds of Infected. Appealed and denied stating I'm permanently banned. Unfortunately I had BOCW linked to my Steam ID too, so the game is a digital paperweight, because the moment the game launches it talks to the servers and reminds you that you are banned from playing on the Call of Duty servers, and to sign in with another profile to play online (but surprise, there's no way to sign in with another profile because why would they make a sign-out button. In fact, I believe it's pretty much permanent, because you can't even log into your activision account on their site to unlink your steam ID, because they permanently banned you.)

It's absolute garbage. If this is how Activision is going to treat innocent people by falsely banning them, I'll never buy another Activision game ever again.

Have you guys tried leaving a negative review on Steam, and submitting a politely worded bug report and ban appeal on the Activision website? It might help warn people who are thinking of buying this game or BO6 on Steam to not purchase it or to get it on another platform instead.

I'm tempted to just sign up for the Microsoft Game Pass and pay $15 a month to try out BO6, that way when Activision gives me a middle finger, I can just make a new account since it shouldn't be tied to anything, since my Steam account can never play another Activision game ever again. Not that I want to after how they've treated me. I've attempted a ban appeal, Denied. I've attempted making a support request, Denied nothing they can do. I've lodged a complaint via the Better Business Bureau, which has opened a communication channel with someone at Activision, but they continue to double down and refuse to do anything even through communications via the BBB.

Seems they really don't care about their players, they might as well just start giving everyone the middle finger because once you're falsely flagged, they no longer care about you and won't give you the time of day to try to make it right.

Yeah I suspect it has something to do with a Windows update... I'm running BO6 with Battle.net, I left it running overnight, and I guess my computer updated, restarted and tried to restore the game application state like it does with other apps, which caused the crash dialog to pop-up, and I clicked "send". Perhaps it corrupted something in the memory and they interpret that as modifying the game? they also rejected my appeal, guess they just get to scam me out of $70 lol

update: i checked today and i was unbanned. no notification, just got quietly unbanned
