I have no idea what's going on, or if I'm actually banned. I tried tonight to connect to DC EA 117 and it says "kicked from server". I was playing fine last night, and have no idea why I would have been banned.... someone please help! I really enjoy playing on EA 117 just about every night and hope this can be resolved soon.

Thanks!

We will let you know something as soon as it is figured out.

EDIT : will be resolved sooner with a proper key hash.

d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e brought no luck.

[SuperTesla]

Woops, that was the wrong hash.

Its:

It seems like some sort of punkbuster problem maybe? I've noticed it posting errors.

[SuperTesla]

No idea. I can connect to other servers in 1942 just fine. I also downloaded and installed the TankPBUpdate file just in case. I hope it's just an easy PB fix, because I didn't do anything to get banned....


Lol, what's that pic supposed to mean?

[SuperTesla]

So.....has anyone looked into this? I miss Desert Combat....

[Nightstalker]

You are on the naughty list. Hang in there while it is discussed and we will get back with you.

[SuperTesla]

Aw darn :/


The only thing I can think of was that I was kicked about 4 times from No Fly Zone a few days ago for high ping. And I had a bunch of accidental TKs on Al Nas the same day or the day before, I believe.

[Pinhead]

this is why you are banned you have a global ban on you for a multi hack with one of your alias'

[SuperTesla]

I've never used that alias before, the only aliases I've used are SuperTesla, SuperTesla<CP>, SilentSub, and SilentSubmariner in the past 10 years of playing BF. And I've never hacked before. Perhaps that alias you found has the same CD Key as me? I had to download BF1942 because I lost CD #2 and only have CD #1, and also had to download a Key generator as well, so maybe someone has the same Key as me and possibly the same hash?

I'm sure anyone from the server can back me up that I don't hack. Most of the time my score is horrible

[Nightstalker]

No offense .. I am not buying it. Please understand, I am not calling you a liar considering I do not know you so it may be all true, but that sure sounds fishy.

[Trench]

Not to clarify anything about why the key is matching a banned key. But I assume "random CD key" would mean "random might be the key of someone banned", and a new key will be necessary.

But I did want to confirm that the server has been saying "enforced prior ban for SuperTesla<CP>" (or whichever player name he was connecting with) for as long as I can remember. Meaning the server has been /saying/ he's banned, but not actually /kicking/ him for the prior ban. But apparently now actually is finally kicking him, too.

Just to clarify that this probably isn't a "new ban" even for PBBans, because the server has been reporting this for months whenever SuperTesla joined. But nothing ever happened and he was able to continue playing, until now.

I'm not sure how else to better show my seriousness on the Internet, Night. I'm extremely mad right now that I'm getting pinned as a hacker, and I'm innocent. I'VE NEVER USED THAT ALIAS BEFORE! I'm giving you my word, because I don't have any type of evidence to back me up!

There is a definite possibility that someone could have the SAME CD Key as me, if they used a Keygen. Like I stated earlier, I lost my BF CD2 (after moving to a new house, to be exact) and also do not have my original CD Key. I bought the game in 2003, stuff gets lost after 10 years. I know you've only played with me a handful of times on EA117, but ask Pinhead, Payne, Cheese, Haven, digdug, etc. I have never had anyone accuse me of hacking. EVER.

Here's my hash again in case there was some sort of typo when checking it:

23264971de696e05f1209124d138d407

I'm not meaning to sound like I'm begging, but Desert Combat and BF1942 are two of the games that run best on my computer. I have a very old computer (Celeron, 2 gigs ram, GeForce 6800) and these two games are my favorite ones because they actually run decent. Being banned from the only active DC server for nothing pretty much eliminates me from playing Desert Combat entirely. Most of the BF1942 servers are full of idiots, and I finally found a server I really loved with EA117, and some really awesome people. Please reconsider your decision to ban me, Night.

Thanks

Would reinstalling the game and using a different CD key help out? Or to download the game through Origin?

Also I do have my Secret Weapons CD and CD Key and hash:

****** removed .. that was a CD key and no one needs to see them EXCEPT you... Night*****
a97dee9bd688d04cd854f594872655d2

And my Road to Rome CD Key and hash:

**** removed posted CD key... Night*********

And here's pictures of the keys for SW and RTR on the case if needed:

*****REMOVED PICTURE OF CD KEYS again, no one needs to see those except you ... Night*****

I also searched for my GUID (the number BFHasher gave me) on PBBans and it says no results:



and on the Global Master Ban Index:

[SuperTesla]

The person I am accused of being "iMortaluz" lives in Denmark. I live in Pensacola, Florida. I'm not sure how this came up in your search, Night, because when I'm looking at this guys ban page his GUID is completely different than mine, as shown here:

[BlackMercenary]

even though I dont personally like CP players..I will step in and say I have noticed it keep saying he was kicked or banned from previous kicks or bans but he was still playing. It was like for weeks on my screen.. I just thought it was an error

[SuperTesla]

Weird. No one notified me of this for the past weeks I've been playing. From the research I've done on PBBans it looks like either: A) I have the same CD Key as someone who was prior banned or B) Night made a mistake in his search. Hopefully the images I provided will clear my name.

[Pinhead]

at this time im not gunna say your hacking but please answer me this why do you have 2 different cd keys

[fromage]

Admins - I've noticed the same thing. No idea what's going on, but SuperTesla has been a good player and the Denmark/Florida thing is a bit wack. I haven't noticed anything "hack" worthy either in his gameplay. Hope to see SuperTesla back in the game. The dude is a good teamplayer, no matter the side he's on.

[SuperTesla]

Pinhead, those two keys I posted above are from Secret Weapons and Road to Rome, respectively.

[Nightstalker]

He is talking about the one you originally posted.

And FWIW, he should not have been able to play on this server with a prior PB ban. Whether or not he was the one that used the hack or not, that key hash has a verified hacker attached to it.

[SuperTesla]

Night, the first hash I posted wasn't the correct hash. I didn't click the "Get CD Key from Registry" button before I clicked "Hash it". The second hash I posted is correct.

[Nightstalker]

Let me see if I can clarify by saying, where did the first one in your original post, the incorrect one come from? You gave us two different key hashes. The second is your current hash, where did the other (the first one) come from and why 2 of them? That is what Pin is wanting to know.

[SuperTesla]

Night, that was my first time using the BFHash program. The very first hash I posted I didn't click "Cd Key from Registry" before hitting "Hash It!"....so the first hash is incorrect. The second hash I posted wa correct, I clicked "Get CD Key from Registry" then hit "Hash It!". So the first hash/GUID is incorrect.
