★★ Newbie

Where did the issue occur? Returning to the lobby after a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. main menu
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Opening the game
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? hundreds
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? My squadmate deathchasing has been incorrectly identified as cheating, when I know that's not possible. I've checked their computer myself and there's nothing, and I was playing with them when they were first banned for cheating.
What should be happening instead? They should be able to play the game.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? See above.

My squadmate has been incorrectly identified as a cheater and banned. When they reached out to support the automated service claimed it "confirmed" they were cheating. This is not possible. I've checked the computer myself and was playing with them at the time they were accused of cheating.

Who knows? When ppl are reported for "cheating", there are a number of choices. By the looks of his stats, doesn't look like he was using any soft cheats. He could've been flagged/reported for teaming up in solo's, harassment...hard to say.  Sucks if it was a false ban. Anyways, you'll get a generic response to this post saying " no one can help you on the forum"
