hopefully evenbalance can recreate this ban and remove all of them.

After the copy/paste replies these guys are getting I'm scared shitless of starting up PR.

All we know right now is that one of the punkbuster/evenbalance guys is still looking into it, he posted that yesterday, but I suspect it won't be easy to recreate the false positive. The only thing you can do is appeal your ban and give as much info as possible.

If you want, you can send me the same info as well and I will forward it directly to the pb guy that is working this, which is a different person from the one responding to the pb tickets.

I would strongly recommend to remove bitdefender right now, but since these bans were because of silent logging for many months, it is impossible to tell at which time you were flagged for this, so providing a history of programs installed in, say, the past 6 months, would maybe be helpful too.

I am getting this error aswell!!!! I googled the violation because I was like WTF! ANd im not the only one. I to use bitdefender. I turn on game mode when I play. I dont believe I have updated video drivers recently. I have been banned by GGC not pbbans yet. I put request on evenbalance. But Looks liek they just assume we all cheating......

this is some problem with bitdefender.

if only evenbalance would use bitdefender and see if they get banned aswell. I higly doubt they are actually looking into this.

Ha thank god i read that threat i was about to install the New Update.

Ya this blows! I unistalled bitdefender....POS! I just hope they look into this cause there have been sooo many bans since May 27th with that violation.....

The ban will only be for bf2.

These violations are now a confirmed false positive! A big thanks for Nick from evenbalance for sticking with this and confirming this for us.

We have confirmed that non-cheat software caused some of the kicks for Violation #50120 in Battlefield 2 starting May 27, 2013. We encourage admins to give players the benefit of the doubt and ignore violation number #50120 for kicks occurring on or after May 27.

Hell to the yeah! Persistence etc etc

Well sweet!!!! So they gunna lift this off of GGC and pbbans?

I believe so, but it may take a day or so for the pbbans staff to do this, so sit tight.

Thank god! Hopefully GGC gets this lol, they are the ones that banned me. Thank the guy who took the time to get to this problem!

OMG!! That means I can play PR version 1.0!!! Yeaaaahh!! In the mean time will try to test join in tomorrow(now typing from phone on bed . gonna sleep).

So, what was it? Bitdefender?

Evenbalance usually doesn't give out the reason behind false positives as it gives away how they detect cheats, so I doubt that it will be different this time.

Bitdefender seems like an obvious candidate though.

All hail brez.

Brezmans is credit to team.

Don't forget Linkman too - good stuff guys

It seems there are about 101 people who owe you a beer

Yeah, great thanks to Brezman and Linkman and others who worked on the issue!

Looks like the pbbans staff have removed the bans from their banlist, all the affected players should be able to play again on streaming servers.

101 beers, that's going to be one hell of a PR 1.0 release party Thanks for the nice comments, guys! I will forward them to Linkman as well.

Yeah, works again. Great job, thanks

ggc is also cleared!
