Got banned from Arma 3. Want to buy again!

[jam1234]

Hey,

 

I recently got global banned from ARMA 3 (I didn't hack i promise).

 

I want to buy it again on another steam account but I want to make sure I don't get banned on that account for some reason (Just me being careful).

 

I reported the ban to BattleEye as being a false but got no reply. I want to buy it again but I am wondering if arma 3 will remember my GUID and ban me again??? Should I uninstall it or do the bans work on CD Key's?

 

Thanks for you help!

You don't know why you got banned? BTW it bans your steam account from the game.

Let them investigate. If you are guilty suck it up. If you are not you will be able to play again.

Bans are done via Cd key.

You will need to remove the registry from Windows before running the game on a different account. If you run it on an account that has not been banned the game will see the Cd key is missing and download a new one from the steam db for registry that is tied to your account. You can keep the same install, just delete the registry key before playing on a different account. You can find tons of tutorials out there for this.

And remember, battle eye is correct 99% of the time. But there still is that 1%

I too was EHEM falsely banned 4 years back when I was just getting into computer games.

Any tutorial links?

Oh... Arma 3 uses a completely different broken system instead of the broken arma 2 system for registering who you are.

 

Nvm, just running the game on another steam account should be fine. Arma 3 no longer handles guid with registry cd keys. Can't believe that bohemia was actually thoughtful enough to change that, considering they can't put in enough thought to optimize their engine.

 

Regardless, if the game says you're banned while you're on a different account, then simply uninstall/reinstall.
