a really weird question about punkbuster

[TiranTimmeke]

Hello guys !

I have the Close Quarters mappack, no premium or anything, and when I try to join one of those servers i get this: Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'My Name' (for 1 minute) ... Cheater banned by GGC-Stream.NET. Ban on GUID fb142b4dcd6b4321d387cff798e56eac. Contact GGC-Stream.NET for details. [Admin Decision]

But if I join the normal maps which come with the game i can just play, anyone know anything about this?

Thanks in advance

If you googled what ggc is, you would have found out that GGC is a ban database. A server owner can install it on his server and if you get banned off his server, you also get banned off all the other servers with GGC. This can also go across games.

Like me, I was banned in BF3, tuns out that I am banned of 90% of BF4 servers cause of that.

Does using a other account "lift" the ban? Like, will you be able to play all servers then?

He is asking if the ban is linked to his computer or his account.



@TiranTimmeke
Yes, it does. The ban is a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) ban, meaning it is only a account ban.
If it was a HWID ban (Hardware Identification) it would be locked to your PC.

But I do recommend changing your IP after each ban.

the ban is only for you account
