Will this work? Battleye global banned, Rebuying Games.
A while ago i got global banned by battleye, I was being stupid and tried to hack. Went well... I was hacking in Arma 2, But in banned me in Arma 2, Arma 3 and DayZ SA. Now i need to pay for my mistakes and rebuy these three games.

I have set up a new steam account and for Arma 3 it says i need to purschase it, and for Arma 2 it says i need to allow acces or buy it [?]. (Pictures below). If i do repurchase these games, Will i still be global banned?

Thanks.

Format the pc, make a new account, repurchase the games.

Thanks for the quick reply, What do you mean by Format the PC?

The only way to be 100% sure you removed all traces of the cheat valve/steam recommends you format the pc. You dont have to but you risk being banned again if you do not.

Reinstall windows/Format the hard drive.

Nope nope nope. IP bans are hardly ever used anymore as they are so easily spoofable.

And OP I hardly think it is necessary to format the entire drive. That is what valve reccomends for VAC. I think you should just delete the games folder and redownload. Reinstalling windows is a pain in the butt.

I'd agree with you on the pain of reinstalling Windows, drivers, etc. but the Arma games have previously auto-banned people's new copies if they hadn't cleared their registry down properly:

I don't know if this is still necessary now, but I wouldn't want to spend any money on new copies until I knew for sure. Perhaps the OP is better off asking the game's makers for an expert opinion?
