"Why Am I Banned? I'm Not A Hacker."

In the past few days, Battlefield 3 players on PC have been getting banned for no apparent reason. All players claim to not be cheaters, and their stats show that they're normal players. Users are quickly banned from the game being left with either one of two reasons: 89246 or 89296.

The cause of the bans has been discovered, macros are the reason. Specifically AutoHotKey. A moderator from the French arm of the Battlelog forums has stated that this somewhat innocent software is not allowed by PunkBuster. There's no official count as to how many have been banned, but many are innocent.


Stream services like PBBans have stated that they're removing all bans associated with the error codes.


Quote

We have lifted all BF3 bans for violation #89246 and #89296 because they are raised for actively using AutoHotKey. Since many players have been banned for simply using that application we have decided it is better to let some cheaters go free than to ban many innocent players.


A total of 222 players have been unbanned by the service. Evenbalance (PunkBuster) has yet to make an official statement as to why these players are being banned.


Already banned? The best thing to do is to wait until Evenbalance makes an official statement, although some players have requested appeals. Don't want to get your Battlefield 3 account banned? Uninstall AutoHotKey
