Unfairly Banned in CoD and Steam profile permanently blotted now

[Arbalest]

I had a session of CoD:Warzone with my friend on Discord. After completing 3-4 hours session, I come back next day to see myself getting perma-banned in the game.

I honestly don't know why I was banned, and on appealing I was told it was use of Unauthorized software.

Things that were on while playing:
MSI Afterburner (GPU undevolt) + RTSS (FPS and metrics display)
Discord (Streaming screen while playing)
Logitech Gaming Software
Acer Display Widget

My PC is very new, I dont know what trigger anti cheat of Activision.

I had proper updated Windows 11, with windows defender on (I dont use extra AV software).

I honestly dont care about Warzone. Activision can go F themselves with their crappy anti-cheat. There is no way to reach out to their support, no email nothing.

Is there anything I can do to remove the ban mark on my profile. Its my profile from long time. I have never engaged in any kind of hacks for any game.

I have money in my account with a lot of purchased games, and now I play with any randoms, they see my profile and just start spamming hacker.

No, it will not. This only applies to VAC Bans. Game Bans are displayed forever.

Took me literally 3 seconds of using Google.
If they do not lift the Ban you will have to live with it.

Game Bans are not only issued for Cheating.

That appeal page is useless, they are not letting us write anything and saying the ban is final.

Just see the stat of my cod, i don't even have one kd ratio and only 10 hours game time.

I know it useless to tell anyone in these forums that you didn't cheat. By default everyone presumes you guilty.

This has nothing to do with Steam and Activision gave you their answer.

Just know that you may be banned from purchasing new CoD's in the future and also be banned from them as well.

It doesn't matter what other people think, though. This is between you and Activision.

Then the Ban is final. It's that simple. Throwing a tantrum won't change that.
This whole thing has nothing to do with Steam.

Valve will not remove your Ban. The only one who could would be Activision. And they said no. So accept it and move on.
