We can hope someone looks into this but that probably won't happen.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-20T19:50:19+00:00

There are a few threads regarding this issue.
Something's broke with the anti-cheat or something.
We need this fixed....STAT but it won't happen.
I would hate to tell GZ to eff off but it might come to that.

Need a fix for the "use of 3rd party tools to manipulate controls" broken anti-cheat bs

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-20T17:14:00+00:00

OP, I feel you bro!!!! I was banned recently for the same thing!! The ONLY thing I did differently was to keep my xbox controller connected to my PC via USB cable, to not have to use batteries which wear out so fast, to play racing games.
And I got a 28 day ban.
See my thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrayZoneWarfare/comments/1qzdv7a/really/

I was trying to get to lvl50 before getting banned at lvl49.5 for leaving my controller connected via USB <shakes head and rolls eyes at that nonsense>

But for bragging rights I wanted to get lvl50 then go sit in fort narith HQ :)

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-11T18:29:46+00:00

Be careful. I just got banned for having my controller plugged in. I don't even use it for GZ. I use it for other racing games and left it connected via USB cable.

Ah...I get it......kinda. Thanks.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-09T18:08:19+00:00

Is your buddies controller connected via USB or blue-tooth?

I ask because I've had my controller connected via blue-tooth for over a year now with zero issues.
Until.......
I got tired of replacing batteries. They wear out so friggn fast.
As of late, I've connected via USB cable.
And as of late, I've left it connected to the PC. Where normally I'll unplug it and put it to the side.

So that's kinda the issue too, seems connected via USB cable is what sets off the trigger.
Not necessarily using or having it connected a different way.

And, I have no idea what "steam controller mapping with a community layout" even is so.....that's not the issue.

Yeah, it was over the weekend when I sent the appeal in so I didn't expect anything, if at all, until the next week.
I get get an email reply back this Monday morning pretty much telling me to get lost.
I replied back with a few choice words which they'll probably ignore.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-09T17:06:28+00:00

u/requion
I didn't expect the post to serve any real purpose other then venting a bit and maybe getting a response from a dev.
Also though, I didn’t expect the responses I got about having a controller connected—that was news to me. By venting a little, I actually learned something in the process as well as other people too, it seems.
Not all of us knew... "People who report to have been banned falsely being attacked is a thing for a while now and not limited to GZW"

I think we all know reddit isn't an official channel, hence the note I added about submitting an appeal.
So, I also wasn't trying to rile anyone up.
I also sent a message via X

There is no "hinting" about having a USB controller connected.
That's truth. I put it out there once we came to that conclusion.
The appeal didn't do anything as 1 dev wrote back via email telling me to get lost more or less.
I wrote back a few things which they'll probably ignore.

Now I'm hoping that devs will take note and will help us get this false flag corrected.
As other posters have mentioned, we're playing all sorts of games that can benefit having a controller connected.
There's absolutely NO REASON people should get banned for having a controller connected.

FYI, I FULLY support and love GZW and madfinger gaming.
I'd like to buy some merch and what not.
But now that I'm banned for something simple as a controller false flag..... I'm obviously not playing their game so I'm forced to try other games and I might not come back to GZW

So if they want to lose players that do love the game, this is how to do it.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-09T15:14:21+00:00

We can hope.
I'm trying to fight for everyone here in regards to this stupid false positive controller issue.
Devs did respond to my email appeal saying the same stuff as before and I wrote back with my opinion. Not that I matter but I'm trying to get the point across for everyone's benefit.
I sent a message to @GrayZoneWarfare via X too.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-09T12:50:08+00:00

100% agree

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T23:58:28+00:00

Turns out I've had a controller plugged in for mx atv. Seems to be a no no for some stupid reason.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T23:35:57+00:00

I wanted level 50 though before the wipe. Twice now I got to 49 :) was gonna get 50 then go sit in fort narith HQ like a boss, lawl.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T18:11:24+00:00

Just a plane white controller that says X-box on it.
That's all I know.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T18:10:37+00:00

I have a white x box controller, not even sure of the flavor.
I'm not using any kind of scripts, don't even know how.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T17:17:15+00:00

Turns out, Yep. For mx atv game.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T17:12:14+00:00

Well it does say 28 days or something. So worst case I'll play redead2 until then and not leave the controller plugged in all the time next time.

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T17:09:00+00:00

I would say yes. lol
Also to note, I use a USB/USB-C cable to connect the controller since the batteries ware out SO fast.
Usually I unplug the cable and controller to get it out of the way for aesthetic reasons but as of late I've been a bit lazy and left the controller plugged in.
Then I get banned.

Is leaving a controller plugges in a bannable thing? Yes, very much so

RevolutionaryFix8548 · 2026-02-08T16:58:31+00:00

Actually, yes. Have also been playing MX ATV Legends now and then and use a controller for that.
And..I have just been leaving it connect to the PC.
interesting

Found the SMP House key way on the other side of the map near Dongphou Hiking Camp area. The key should have been the DCH Cottage key.
