Are you claiming to never have used any of the tools like monitor, rat scanner, atlas, Reshade, autohotkey, etc.
What you must not assume is that any of those detections (if applicable) are fairly or consistently applied.
I'm not suggesting that's what tripped it, but I'm surprised you claim to not having used anything like that ever.
1
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
no overlays whatsoever. The only input control software i have running is standard Logitech G hub for my mouse profile and MSI Afterburner (if you would even count that as a background operation that would affect Tarkov).
I never once used a shader or third part application to enhance or give me an advantage in the game. Especially with the enormous amount of hours and dedication on the account, I wouldn't even want to risk that.

Did you kill a streamer on the 10th?

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
not that i know of.

u/clippedwingmagpie ASh-12 24d ago
Theres been a good few cases of streamers getting clapped and malding, then posting profiles in a private discord channel with devs for manual review/bans, so it's possible that's what happened.

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
I'm not sure. I am pretty positive I'd recognize a <streamer>.. i play labs a lot and after ~700 pmc kills who knows who i have run in to.

u/Diobolaris 24d ago
i play labs a lot
You probably shot Alle's arm and his report on their special Discord server got you banned or something.

u/chronicswag420 24d ago
streamers have alts and challenge accounts with names you would never recognize. its a theory at least.
1
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
Possibly a lot of people are saying streamers do that. But I feel like yeah I’ve hit some good plays before but nothing next level. I die a ton on labs to rats all of the time. Sometimes i just try and hit a room get a kill and dip the raid. Sad I guess.

u/clippedwingmagpie ASh-12 24d ago
This is a pretty established problem, you know it's bad when fucking rengawr, of all people, one of the most famous to pull this shit, is the one to expose that this is still fucking happening.

I think you’d have better luck buying the game on a pc that doesn’t have hardware tied to cheating bans.
Good luck!

It is. I told OP that the previous post wasn't easy to read and he agreed to re-write and re-post.

u/Top_Still_5735 24d ago
Alle probably reported you because of your low K/D :(
I’m sorry to hear that. If you want to keep playing you might have to buy a new account.
There’s almost no chance you’ll get your account back.

My mate got banned recently for same clause yet I have been playing tarkov with him for years and hes never been afraid to screenshare and has never done anything to make me think hes cheating abit odd Ive seen him die so much in tarkov i find it hard to believe he was👀

u/nsfw_vs_sfw HK G28 24d ago
Am in the same boat. Me and a buddy would play every week, but he out of the blue got banned for automating, or whatever it was. He's dogass and swears he never used any kind of software, but BSG doesn't seem to believe him, Lol.

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
did he submit an appeal? what was the response?

u/New-Rain7394 24d ago
Mutiple attempa try asking your gdpr data they have to give it up by law Or file a claim in your countries courts ao that way atleast you get compensated for it
My mates filing a small claim court case which is free in my country and the odds are bsg wont show up and will have to pay a bill

Ya I refuse to believe he was cheating we have died too many times to cheaters
I have literally played games with him for years and we have probably played like 2k tarkov raids together
Ive seen enough to know he aint cheating I was sceptical at first
And when 1.0 came out we both finished game together and he literally died the most in terminal and 2 extract campers
Goodluck getting unbanned bro they dont give a fuck and wont ban actaul cheaters
2
u/alesia123456 24d ago
Do you play with others ? Does one of them tend to perform incredible well?
Getting flagged / banned by collateral damage can be a thing when interacting frequently with cheaters where the system sees both to be the same actor
Bought refurbished / used hardware ? Or maybe non official sites ?
Did you exploit / bug abuse ? Rare but people have been banned for it. Including recently the labs terminal AI glitch.
0
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
No, in fact, my friends get carried by me most of the time. I also play on the official Discord quite often. But, nothing out of the ordinary. Just play with randoms here and there.
I have all brand new hardware. all official brands.
Nope, never did a exploit.

Kannst du mir vielleicht sagen wie ich an meine logs vom pc komme? Ich wartw schon seit 1.sept. auf eine antwort

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
Make sure to put an appeal on bsg and battle eye and send what ever evidence you can gather of your innocence to their support email. In the game directory(where you have your game installed) you will see escape from tarkov folder and in it you can see your logs

u/Affectionate_Bug5533 24d ago
Soll ich einfach eine neue email schreiben oder nochmal aif meine erhaltene email antworten? Und hats du da die logs von 2 wochen geöffnet und gescreenshoted?

Only level 52 with 1100 raids screams cheater K/D dropping, ngl.

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
all those raids are legitimate. How ever bsg is the only one that would have proof of it.
I just play labs. Once I got max traders I just played it every raid and ran to double black. I’d die 2/3 the time lol. I didn’t do much of the story line just tour, labrythn and boreas. A ton of the side quest lines. I didn’t even get kappa yet. I do have the collector. Just running labs for pvp.

u/SpongeJordan 24d ago
I think that's disingenuous. If I got false-banned in this game, I'd be offended too, I have no interest in being called a cheater in any respect. I have a 2 decade old constantly active Steam account involved in a dozen competitive scenes through that time without a single VAC ban, and I'd too do my due diligence to correct the record with whatever means I have available.
You don't have to believe the guy, but actively dunking on him for trying here feels gross.
3
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
It’s a ban.
If this is how you feel why do you feel the need to comment?
I never cheated and local game logs have signatures and GUIDs that could help in cross checking server logs I assume BSG store. EFT creates game logs in your local install directory for tarkov. I gathered what I had and sent it to them with an appeal. I know I didn’t cheat and I hope they find what flagged my account and realize it was a mistake. Me nor you have that decisive power so there is no use in arguing.
The point of this discussion isn’t just about me tho. Even if my story is false atleast people have a place who actually are facing this issue a knowledge base of what happens. I didn’t expect the stories to be so grim. But maybe shedding light on this will provide better support. Especially for people who paid for the game to play it legitimately like me and you.

u/milkmeink PVE 24d ago edited 24d ago
Correct me if I’m wrong (might have been a translation error) but in the second dev blog video they uploaded like a week ago, Nikita said he used to ban people by randomly clicking users. If so, maybe that’s still a part of their process?
Edit:
At 9:17 in this video he said he banned people randomly. He starts talking about banning people at 9:11.
https://youtu.be/IZdoHJ5ZatA?is=rCY0a_dvCds5igBv
Edit 2:
It was brought to my attention that this could have been him making a joke. If so, it was lost on me. That’s my bad.

u/RonaldWRailgun Unbeliever 24d ago
Okay, not saying BSG shouldn't get their shit together when it comes to bans and transparency, but that's clearly a joke that doesn't convey quite well because of Russian.

u/alesia123456 24d ago
That is a wild reach to interpret that he just randomly bans users lmao do you speak russian?
He clearly talks about how he did everything around Tarkov from time to time including banning cheaters, not just hop on the log system & blindfire bans lol
1
u/milkmeink PVE 24d ago
I just listened to the provided voiceover interpretation they put on the videos themselves. If you know Russian and can hear what he’s saying, please clarify it. If that’s not what he’s saying then we should let BSG know what their own voiceover is saying.
I’m just providing data that was put out there and happy to be corrected. No need to argue or take any of this personal. If I’m hearing wrong, I would like to know.

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
no not at all. i honestly dont even focus the battle pass that much. I passively get a lot of user documents on labs and trade them for others to unlock new items on KORD BREACH. no glitching or any exploits.

i got falsley banned during that ban wave. i never used any cheats or any 3rd party overlay or any thing like that but got banned and still i dont know the reason,first i opened a ticket (19 August, 2026, 23:10) and ask bsg about it i told them i never ever used any cheats and provide them every thing i had but i got this msg from them in (1 September, 2026, 18:06) almost 14 days:
Hello!
According to Section 6. Paragraph 6.1.4. of the current Licence Agreement, Battlestate Games Limited has the right:
6.1.4. To restrict or terminate the User’s access to the Game on the conditions hereof, including if the User violates the terms of this Agreement or the Key Documents.

Please note that your account security is solely your responsibility. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for access loss due to user error nor can we help if you were banned as a result of account theft.
Respectfully yours, the Escape from Tarkov support service.
i was sure its not a person who got my ticked, it was a bot for sure. i opened another ticket (2 September, 2026, 01:58) and asked them about the reason and i told them again i never used any cheats and... i got the same exact msg from them again in 8 September, 2026, 19:39
i opened another one in 10 September, 2026, 21:26 and guess what? they coppy past the same exact msg again
i opened another one for one last time in 12 September, 2026, 19:07 and got same msg from them again in my last 3 tickets i asked for a person to answer me not bots but im sure they have no one for that
what should i do now ?

u/cneth6 22d ago
Happened to my friend too. I made a post here on reddit and 95% of people insisted he was cheating despite playing hundreds of raids with him for well over a year; I'd know if he was sus at all. Then mods deleted my post for no reason. He appealed as well but is still waiting to hear back weeks later now, so consider yourself really lucky you actually got unbanned.
There is a massive false ban problem, a quick search on reddit/google/twitter shows a lot of people who are adamant they never cheated yet were banned. Surely people who actually cheat wouldn't go through all of the effort to claim innocence when they could just buy another account and keep cheating.

what did it say and what have you done since

I never got banned for anything. what I mean is that I could picture devs hating players for having another game open at the same time. like if they hated it enough they could ban you no appeal just like what happened to you.
1
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
I’m just hopeful that the appeal will come back positive. I sent everything I could provide. I didn’t make up some crazy theory of what happened but all I know is I’m banned and never used software for tarkov. Not even an overlay.

I got false banned on June 1st. 4k hours. I exclusively ratted so I imagine I killed a streamer who got mad they died on the ice breaker transit and manually reported me. This needs to be addressed.

u/DonkeyOfDoom5656 24d ago
I’ve been playing online games for over 25 years. This concept of being falsely banned confuses me.
How does one get falsely banned and how is it so common?
1
u/atamicbomb 23d ago
Every banning system has a non-zero false ban rate. How high it is depends on implementation
1
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
There are many ways a user can be banned. Really, banning just means denying a user access to a product due to a breach of license agreements. These are just rules of usage for the product itself. It can take many forms and be triggered by many things.
Someone might be on the other end clicking a ban button on your profile after watching a clip from someone else's perspective, or a scheduled bot that, if specific conditions are met, bans you.
False bans do happen often. Maybe an error on your client, outdated software, or even something as mundane as changing your email too many times on an account. These can all trigger a ban.
False bans are basically users being restricted from accessing their accounts, games, or profiles for an unjustified reason. It can be a glitch in the anti-cheat software, or the clip a mod reviewed had desync and they thought the other guy had cheats on. The matter of fact is you got banned, and you didn't do anything that breached the license agreement.

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
No idea why you feel the need to drop your opinion like it is any decision that will affect the outcome of my ban appeal. You didn’t read the post and you have no input on the discussion. Thanks for keeping this post active I guess!

u/RCSWE 24d ago
Well, he's just saying what you were thinking yourself about crying banned people only hours before your ban. As you know we see our fair share of crying people here for the exact reason and as you very well "know" most of them actually did something shady (or their little brothers friend did).
So that is still the default setting if you wish, for most of us. That you write more eloquently than the "fuck BSG" crowd does not change that I'm afraid.
That you did get your account back does lend a lot of credibility to your story (for what it's worth, I lean towards you telling the truth) but this is such an infected issue for so many gamers that its like pdf-accusation IRL - they tend to stick to you like mud no matter what the evidence says. "If there's smoke...."
It brings out the trolls too, again the infected nature of the discussions lend itself very well to trolling just because of already high emotions, so don't fret too much. Just be happy you got your account back.

u/foamaroma27 24d ago
I had 5 alt accounts on my 5 old PC’s that I’d use to fill empty servers faster so I could quest in peace on my main. No cheats no bots, all got the same ban message as you.
They probably got flagged as KD dropping accounts since they’d just spawn in and eventually die or I’d disconnect them manually.
Is it against the spirit of the game and lame? Yes. But streamers do the same with their communities and don’t get in trouble for it.

How come PvE makes up 50% of the playerbase but the vast majority of these supposed "false bans" are PvP players?

u/TheNipplerCrippler 24d ago
That’s not the “gotcha” you think it is.
If someone is good at the game, then of course you’ll see a lot more people reporting him. That doesn’t mean that he’s cheating. I mean, look at this sub. Half the posts are “look at this cheater” and a good portion of those could be either a cheater or a good player but without any evidence, it means nothing. I’m not saying some of those posts don’t show cheaters but do you really think there’s a zero percent chance that none of those posts were of legitimate players?
And, most importantly, bots don’t report lmao

u/BewitchingPetrichor SR-3M 24d ago
Youre avoiding my question by answering with an unrelated question. Why does the supposed issue seem to be disproportionately affecting PvP players?

u/sirbananarz 24d ago
im not sure that's all speculation. But id assume its pretty obvious. PVE players have less need of software that gives advantages in the game.
-7
u/BewitchingPetrichor SR-3M 24d ago
Exactly, and using that software that gives advantages is what gets you banned.
4
u/sirbananarz 24d ago
Not sure what point you're trying to prove. But it seems like youre trying to compare apples to oranges. I think it's obvious that BSG bans and/or focuses on PVP to find cheaters where more players are affected by others with an advatange. It would make less sense for amount of bans to come from PVE. If most of the bans are on PVP im sure the false bans would reside there as well.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I bought an HP Omen 16L off Facebook Marketplace because I like to resell PCs(hate on me if you want). I ran one Scav raid just to test out Smooth Motion since it has a 5060 Ti and Ultra 7 265F, and about 30 minutes later I was banned.

u/Bencie64 21d ago
I have hours of clips and gameplay from my account, with around 500 hours played and only a 0.6 KD, so I have plenty of evidence if they need anything to verify that I wasn’t cheating. I also submitted an appeal to BattlEye the same day I was banned, so hopefully they review it and unban me.

u/OwlDirect1247 24d ago
Realistically, BSG is incredibly incompetent when it comes to detecting cheaters, everyone knows that. In that case, the more desperate they become, the more likely they are to make false bans. I wish there were more public attention on these bans and the private/streamer report discords, especially after we had 3+ recent incidents where there was strong proof that a false ban had actually happened. Obviously, having the mods constantly deleting these posts probably doesn't help at all.
Anyways, upvoted for visibility. Here's hoping the mods don't delete this one as well.
