Not Banned Ban Appeal: heresbirchyforya



In-game Name heresbirchyforya

Have you cheated before? Never

What's your side of the story as to why you were banned? I downloaded Bf4 recently to play with friends. Couple of matches played, all running smoothly. My account is really old from when I played bf4 as a kid, so I never touched it but I recently got access to my account again so I figured, why not. Randomly banned after trying to join on DEC 23. Couldn't load into any lobbies. Really new to the game so I'm just confused as if I did something wrong I shouldn't have. Apologies if I did :/

Why should we lift your ban? Really would like to be able to play with my friends as they are really excited. I'm a pretty experienced fps player so I might slack to start, but I'm sure I'll get the feel for the game. I didn't do anything wrong and I would add a useful component to any team.

Kick reason (from Battlelog) You have been kicked by an admin.

I have checked and verified that I am not banned at https://bf4db.com Yes

I have checked and verified that I am not banned at https://battlefield.agency Yes
 
You do not have a ban on record. I see you have attempted to join one of our servers while using a VPN.

Please disable your VPN and try connecting again.
 
I don't have any VIP's on but, I play via geforce now streaming so I wonder if this is tricking it into thinking I'm running a VPN.

Any idea as to where I should go from here?

Thanks,
Birchy
 
GeForce Now acts very similarly to a VPN in the way that it works. It ends up being flagged on our end as a VPN because of the way it recycles IPs.

I would strongly recommend not using GeForce Now to play on any of our servers as you can easily be linked to a cheater's account if they've been banned on an IP that you may end up using.
 
Is there a way around this? Perhaps on the back end of the servers themselves or something within settings? I'm a Mac player so this is really the only way of me playing.

Really appreciate the responses,
Birchy.
 
If you're that desperate to play, you could pay for VIP that we offer which allows the use of a VPN.

However, I would strongly encourage you not to do this. In the event that you do get banned because of a direct link via IP to an account that was known to cheat, you will not be unbanned and there's nothing we can do in regards to any anticheat bans you receive. Again, I warn you of this and strongly encourage you to not go down this route as it's not worth it.
