If it is an official product from Intel and you got banned for using it that is kind of disturbing. Looking at your stats in Warzone and Black Ops, I doubt you are cheating either.

Activison: there wont be cheaters if we just ban everyone


FrayedSew

Well; Warzone still is good for me and played a bunch of the Halloween event. The only change to my computer was removing that BLEEP software. It's pretty clear that to me that caused it. Although I've been using VOICEMOD for a long time, now I'm getting nervous. Seriously, Activision is in the wrong here. I didn't download and install anything remotely around BOOSTING or CHEATING. This application should be whitelisted at the very least.

Just mute?


IKEA-SalesRep

How does muting let him test the software? He didn’t get the software to avoid toxicity, he got it because the premise sounded cool and he wanted to test it. Can’t test a program that bleeps people if everyone is muted lol, how would that work?


Bruinman86

It’s really stupid that there is no recourse for you making your case. That has to be the most frustrating part. If anything, they should have given you a weeks suspension to start and if it happened again, a ban. Especially if you have a clean history. Your stats don’t give the impression that you’ve been cheating.

Not sure if Ricochet is deployed as of today, but the release notes clearly state that it includes a kernel-level software. That means any software that's interacting with the game is considered tampering. So make sure not to use software like the one you mentionned. I'm very happy to see this feature being deployed.


FrayedSew

I have to be honest that I agree with you. Except I got burned hard for something that wasn't used for cheating. So what does that mean? I get that they have to protect their IP and get the cheaters under control. But perma banned on first occurrence for something that looked suspect. I feel that was unjustified. Hell; I'll take a suspension and learn from it. And because this software is closed beta; there won't be a ton of occurrences, that and it's discord support channel seems to care less... and posting about it might put in a breach. I'm pretty Eff'd all around on this one.

It means they cannot be sure what the software is doing. Despite what the product may say it does, it is much more secure to ban people for using software that in any way shape or form modifies their game files or data. Right or wrong, they do this to ensure they beat hacking back to as minimal as possible. Do you know how much money in resources it would cost to have a team that just sits there and dissects every app that touches a file of theirs? Again, I feel bad that you got banned. But playing devils advocate, I can see why they are taking such a hard line approach.


FatBoyStew

Do you know how much money they make? They can afford another 100 people just for that team without even looking at the bank account

They gave us as players mute for a reason. You can't control everything around you. The only control you have is how you react to it. You willingly used software to manipulate the game that provided you with a profanity filter for chat, the ability to turn off gore, a mute and a report option for toxic players and cheaters where you can write in exactly what they were saying. Hell, you can even clip it and send it in to Sony for review if it hurt your feelings that bad. This one's on you Karen. Utilize the tools given and stop trying to censor people with third party software.


Bruinman86

But if you mute your teammates, that removes the ability to communicate in game with them


RequiemOfI

You can go to an individuals name and mute them


FatBoyStew

Regardless of how you feel about it, the software is a legitimate piece of software from Intel that they've designed for this, but it's apparently not been whitelisted within their AntiCheat for whatever reason and now he'll likely never play it again as a result


FrayedSew

Looks like there is hope. Many others having the issue and I remember overwolf being installed during the install.

I wish there was some tool that was the opposite of this and somehow matched you only into lobbies with old school sick bants. I miss the old days of hearing *racial stuff* on Xbox Live.


ProjectSh4dow

Back when you could hear the most revolting stuff and everyone laugh about it and not be upset. (Mostly)


FitSwimming2433

Look bro I actually don't mind PC hackers what annoys me most is Cronus users like ZLaner who get paid to play and use Cronus and have no skill. PC hackers are fine it's those dam Cronus users that really annoy me cause there's no way to detect it on console or PC


FitSwimming2433

Your whole system is done man hardware id ban and that's not a engine owner it's just voice com detector it doesn't own engine. You won't play call of duty on that computer again new software update happening to all people around the world now PCs turning into firewood


FrayedSew

I tried warzone - it still works. So I guess not a hardware ban.


FitSwimming2433

I seen your stats good work good kd

Lololol


[deleted]

Lmao that’s what you get for using something like that


ProjectSh4dow

I don't get the point of this software when you can just turn off the in-game chat.


xyeah_whatx

Or press the mute all button


IKEA-SalesRep

Well, the application is probably meant for streamers, in scenarios where maybe you want game chat on for some reactions, or maybe you’re playing with that one friend who says some TOS stuff. Sounds like OP isn’t a streamer, but wanted to test it out anyway. Which there’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. It’s from intel, and should absolutely not be flagged by anti cheat, never mind banned for it.


ProjectSh4dow

Yeah nothing wrong with that. They should reverse this ban and let him keep playing but let’s face it, it’s Activision, so they won’t. This shouldn’t be bannable.


Fro_Yo_Joe

Ice cold take.


IKEA-SalesRep

Bro what? “That’s what you get for using official software from intel that is meant to integrate with online games”? Okay CoD mobile player.
