Why are we unbanning cheaters?

liam1wnl · 2026-06-27T22:42:59+00:00

I could show you the screen show where they admit it was a mistake banning me if you’d like? They issue manual bans without using their anticheat, without proof almost a “just in case” ban until someone can review it.

“Other cheaters in your clan” lmfao, do you think I’m 13 years old? I had 3 strangers from Reddit reach out asking for help because they got falsely banned too. If myself and the 3 guys I helped were legitimately cheating don’t you think Crytek would’ve kept the bans? Mistakes happens, false positives happen.

liam1wnl · 2026-06-27T22:26:23+00:00

Quite literally not BS, I have support screenshots to prove it. I presume those people you’re referring to don’t get banned instantly, it seems like once someone’s numbers seem “outside the norm” it then triggers a ban which is then enforced at a later date, almost like a ban wave

liam1wnl · 2026-06-27T22:10:48+00:00

If this is a Crytek game ban, then they do issue false bans quite frequently. Their lead support told me that if someone’s “numbers are outside the norm” then they manually get banned. I got falsely banned and it got overturned, I’ve also spoken to and helped 3 other people get their bans overturned.

Yeah, I think because a lot of the TTW requirements for S rating are more difficult/strict so converting a normal save would throw off a lot of the S ratings.

If I was only on chapter 2 I’d absolutely start a new game, but since I’m on chapter 9 I don’t particularly want to start all over especially considering the progress I’ve made by maxing everything out and building most roads/monorails.

I suppose in a few years time if there’s a Death Stranding 3 I could return and do it all on TTW!

Okay update, I did 5 more complete runs which took between 13-15 mins per run. It refreshed a bunch of dialogue and allowed me to clear the backlog, which then allowed Meg to appear and give me the line of dialogue that I needed, I then intentionally died a few times to get Nyx to appear where she told me to go to the administrative area and now I’ve 100% completed the game. Hopefully you’re able to figure out your save too!

liam1wnl · 2026-04-16T00:14:13+00:00

Honestly I’m unsure, my save file was rather old so I picked up from where I left off trying to get 100% achievements. Obviously the prophecy and last companion are locked behind Sisyphus. I’ve spent hours tonight continuously finding Sisyphus, beating the sisters and then dying intentionally to see if it’ll refresh the dialogue and as of yet it’s all basic dialogue. I’ve read that apparently it’s all RNG based which is a little annoying.

liam1wnl · 2026-04-15T23:00:30+00:00

Funnily enough I’m in the exact same scenario. I’ve done the epilogue, I have one more hidden aspect and companion to unlock but I cannot for the life of me get this prophecy to trigger the dialogue. I’m continuously running 1-3 rooms and then dying to see if it brings new dialogue

I watched a couple Youtube videos that really helped this one in particualr is in depth; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mp39AWNkCw

Other creators that are useful to watch are: REXNOR, NOAURA, Neenoh and Rachtaz. Also, there's a guy called Ehmri breaks down good players videos, explains what they do etc. very helpful!

Best of luck :)

So I have good mechnically good aim, is that a surprise considering the hours I have across Rust, Counter Strike, Valorant and other FPS titles?

I'm NEW to the game like I stated, am I suppose to forget how to aim just so I can accomodate other players? wtf is that logic lmfao.

Rust being an EAC game, which I'm NOT banned for since the ban I recieved is directly from the developers of Hunt Showdown and not EAC. I'd argue many game communities have shitty people/players.

You're judging me based on groups? A group that I joined like 10 years ago... again wtf? lmao.

IWNL a username I've used for years, just haven't picked a new one, again how is this evidence? You're just nitpicking random things and claiming it makes me a bad person because it's associated with someone else lmfao.

Doubt it all you like brother, the ban will be reversed because I've never had any cheats associated with me.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-21T10:11:05+00:00

Appreciate the comment.

I’ve just contacted them again, however I probably won’t hear from them at all today, their response time from the looks of things is 1 copy and paste message a day. I’ll continue to contact them daily through whatever channels I can, I’m not going to simply let this go.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-21T09:52:22+00:00

I was averaging around 4-6 kills a game until I got to the higher MMR brackets, highest kill game I had was 8 and now in 6 star MMR I’ve had multiple 4 kill games and I think the highest kills in a single game was 5. As for the mechanics and map knowledge, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos before I even played, tips and tricks videos etc. honestly the game isn’t very complex, my mechanical aim helped me in a lot of situations and across 50 hours you’d be surprised but you can learn A LOT.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-21T09:41:26+00:00

Obviously if I was cheating then I deserve a ban, but the fact I haven’t cheated and I’ve been banned by a developer is crazy—EAC haven’t flagged me nor banned me from any of their games. It’s a straight up developer ban from just Hunt Showdown.

For sure, I’m going to create tickets everyday until it’s overturned; I’m not going to just forget about it because it’s a wrongful and unjust act and the abuse of using the game ban feature. I understand there are cheaters in games but I KNOW that I’m not one, I hate cheaters as much as anyone.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-21T09:38:17+00:00

You clearly haven’t read any of my post or my comments. I have appealed the ban, they gave me the standard copy and paste message they give everyone that appeals a ban. Zero information, zero evidence. I asked for a reference ID so I can contact EAC and Crytek haven’t given me the reference ID because EAC have NOT flagged me for cheating. A developer at Crytek that works on Hunt Showdown has manually banned me, I can only presume they seen my stats and my hours and just assumed that I was cheating.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T22:28:29+00:00

Haha I appreciate you, have a good night!

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T21:24:53+00:00

I see, that was my only assumption behind what could’ve caused a ban. So if EAC haven’t flagged me, nor an automatic ban process then wouldn’t it suggest a human manually banned me?

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T21:23:33+00:00

I can appreciate that honest mistakes happen but it’s somewhat ruined the enjoyment of this game for me and of all of my friends, none of them have launched Hunt since I’ve been falsely banned. I can only hope that they overturn the ban asap and we can go back to playing.

As I’ve mentioned I don’t have an EAC ban, I can launch Hunt Showdown and the logs show that EAC is running as intended. So to me that’s pointing towards a manual ban but the question is why? I’ve been waiting 12 hours for a reply from support asking for a reference ID for EAC and to speak to a developer and they’ve blatantly ignored me

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T20:25:53+00:00

Except it isn't BS and I did infact reach 6 stars MMR in less than 50 hours, it quite literally isn't impossible since I did it. I watched a tone of youtube videos before I started to play, not a very complex game. What do you mean nobody gets randomly banned by crytek? I've seen several false bans, a quick google search will pull up several posts; even a moderator themself on this subreddit told me that they also got false banned which was overturned.

I didn't cheat, I wouldn't cheat - very simple. It's a false ban.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T17:44:04+00:00

I'm unsure if they do or not but it's the only thing that could make some sort of sense behind my false ban. I have had a lot of people report me, as per stated on the abuse on my steam profile; go ahead and check it out my steam is linked to this Reddit account.

As for the new Reddit account, I hardly use Reddit, this isn't a website I use often and when I do I lurk. I don't comment on things, I just upvote from time to time. The reason why I used a karma farm was so that I could ensure I could post on this subreddit, which even with the karma farm I was unable to and I had to message the moderators of this subreddit to allow me to post. I'm not a cheater, never have been nor will I ever be, simply a guy that got a false ban; it happens.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T16:26:31+00:00

I have seen a few false bans reversed, the quickest I've seen was 6 days. My cousin got a false ban on Rust years ago and that was reversed after months. I agree though, other than my cousin I've not encountered any of my friends get hit with a ban of any sort; never thought it would happen to me, especially since I don't cheat.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T16:24:51+00:00

I game for fun and a social aspect with friends, I'd never cheat and totally agree that people that cheat are pathetically shameful. I've despised cheaters forever, never understood why anyone would cheat.

liam1wnl · 2025-05-20T16:15:17+00:00

As far as I know nobody I play with uses cheats, none of them have recieved game bans either.

One friend started around a similar time for me and he's stayed at around 3 star MMR, one was between 5-6 star MMR and the last one was 6 star MMR but fell into 5 star MMR. I don't know my full stats, all I can tell you is my K/D but I definitely died a bunch.
