Game Ban on Record

[N S]

Hi everyone.
About 7 years ago, while playing DayZ with my friend, I received a notification that I had received a global ban. I had not received any warnings before this ban, and I have never used any cheating software in my life. Over the past 7 years, I have tried to learn why I received the global ban by sending multiple emails to the development team, but I have not received any communication from a real person except for automated responses.

I informed Steam support that I did not cheat and also explained that I couldn't reach the development team. However, they were unable to assist me as well. Due to the red "Game Ban" label on my profile, players in other games I play assume that I am a cheater. I am hoping for any help or guidance from you on how to resolve this.

Nothing to resolve, the game ban is permanent. Contact the developer of the game if you want to talk about it. They are the ones that banned you.

The only help and guidance that is applicable: Move on. Valve/Steam Support isn't going to remove a ban applied by game devs and if the game devs don't respond to you, there is nothing you can further do.

I don't believe anyone can reach the DayZ development team because they don't have any other email addresses apart from the automated response emails, no social media accounts, and there is no information available about who works on their team. I've sent them emails hundreds of times; it's impossible to reach them. I also think that even the Steam team can't reach them.

There must be a way for me to find out why I was banned because there is an injustice here

Only the game developer can provide you that information. And only you can request that info. Valve/Steam Support won't reach out to them, nor do they get records for whatever reason your ban is.

You can keep trying to contact the game dev, but it might be wiser, and certainly healthier, to just move on.

Funny how it took me seconds to find what you had years to look up for.

It seems OP needs to contact Battleye then.

From the beginning, the development team I wanted to talk about was the Battleye team, whom I haven't been able to reach for years.

I've known what you've found in few seconds for years, I'm trying to explain that there's no response to the requests sent, if anyone can reach someone from the Battleye or DayZ team among you, they can ask for evidence, they won't be able to provide evidence of a cheat that doesn't exist.

[Cathulhu]

Then it seems BattlEye considers your ban correct and will not remove it.

Feel free to take them to court if you can prove you're innocent. Good luck with that.

You can only go to the source. And as has been said, if you can't reach them or they don't respond, you're out of luck.

Nobody else here can help you in any way. Not the users here, not Valve/Steam Support. Your issue is entirely between you and Battleye devs/DayZ devs.

I do agree with Cathulhu that the no response might actually be a confirmation that they won't remove the ban. A bit ♥♥♥♥♥♥, yes, but entirely plausible.

The bans are automated and detect known cheats running, so it's 100% accurate. It would not trigger a ban if it did not detect anything.
They probably don't respond because it's a waste of their time and yours to even bother asking and they likely get dozens of people pleading innocence every day.

A lot of anti-cheat programs will not tell you what triggered the ban to make it harder to bypass them.

Companies basically never provide the "evidence" of the cheat as that would tell give cheat makers valuable info on how their cheat was detected. You can also be banned for behaviour which has nothing to do with cheating.

As stated there is nothing else you can do. Steam can't do anything as the ban wasn't issued by them, and if they don't wish to tell you then you can't force them to.
