Banned from every server I join WTF?!!!

[Acelondoner]

I have just come back to PR and for some reason everytime I join a server, it will load to 100% and then say:

You have been banned prior GUID (loads of numbers/letters)

Something like that anyway. Now I can't join one single server as I am now banned from them all wtf! I have never cheated etc. I always play the game properly with teamwork.

What should I do?

P.S: I also get a tr.exe when first starting up PR but I just click close.

Please help!

What's your in-game name?

Well it was UK-Acelondoner-UK but I just made a new one to see if it would help (It didn't) Acelondoner_UK

Thanks

Bolded IP matches the ban.

hmm, thats not my ip...

Also I have no clue who Musicalelfman is...

It says violation (GAME HOOK) what is that? What can I do about this?

Thanks in advance.

P.S: I was playing PR fine a few months ago and that pbb ban thing says 2008

You could try to appeal with the link on the page I linked to. Sounds like someone (musicalelfman) got ahold of your key, then hacked your account (explains why the ban says Acelondoner-bf2) and got you banned. I would just buy a new key because it could happen again.

[Acelondoner]

Ok thanks, one more thing.

I think I would rather buy a new BF2 instead of just the key as I hear bad things about these key sellers and don't wanna risk getting hacked again. If I was to buy BF2 off Steam, would PR work with the Steam version?

Thanks

It does work with Steam, however some people have problems with it, or you just get it off Amazon or newegg or something. It's really cheap nowadays. Just make sure you don't use any of your old BF2 accounts with your new key.
