SCREENSHOT OF THE BAN MESSAGE OR THE TEXT OF THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED UPON ENTERING THE SERVER: You were Kicked off the game.(BattlEye:Admin kick(Hacking banned for Perm - expires Perm by VileAce[Admin]))
NAME OF THE ADMIN:VileAce
(Appears in the ban message)
APPROXIMATE DATE AND TIME OF THE BAN: No Idea
THE SERVER YOU WERE ON WHEN YOU WERE BANNED: No Idea (im guessing Altis but last server was tanoa
ANY EXPLANATION OR JUSTIFICATION FOR WHY THE BAN SHOULD BE LIFTED:I honestly have no idea why. i haven’t play for about a week. me and my friend have been playing stellaris and planetside 2. we love toplay on the Nak servers because that’s how we met. i dont get how i was banned when i haven’t been on.
On February 8, 2020 at 2:04 PM you were banned for team killing. When that ban was over you returned on February 9, 2020 at 7:19:09PM and attempted to run code to end the mission or bring the server down. I call that hacking.
Ok so I don’t understand how to hack in well any game. I understand why I got killed on Feb 8 for TK which I understand. I don’t break the rules on the server unless its me and my friends tking each other by mistake. this endmission script I don’t understand how to do. I swear that if I was hacking I probably wouldn’t try to get this appealed. I don’t want to be perm banned this is the only server I play on. If there is someway to prove I wasn’t hacking pls let me know because I swear I wasn’t hacking.
Attach all *.RPT files for the day of February 9th. RPT files are located in your appdata/local/Arma 3 folder. Please make no effort to modify the files as I will be able to tell from the server side logs.
Alright so ive been trying to find it but I am unable to find it. ive looked up videos and try to find it but I am unable to find it. Is there any other way I can prove I haven’t hacked on the server or no?
I don’t have any .RPT files. if they is someway I share my screen to you to show I don’t have them then I will. the best I can do is discord since I can livestream my screen to you.
Arma creates an RPT every time you launch and there is no automatic cleanup, so you should have multiple RPT files. If you are unable to find the RPT files, then I will have to go by what the logs indicate.
Follow the instructions below:
Press - Windows + R
In the field on the open window type explorer.exe then press enter
In the address bar where it says This PC> type %localappdata%/Arma 3
Click on the ‘View’ tab and select ‘Details’
Click on the ‘Date Modified’ column - to sort all the files by date
In the folder that is displayed, you will see files like ‘Arma3_x64_2020-02-16_17-39-10.rpt’
Hold the Ctrl key and left-click on all files modified on 2/9/2020
Once all files modified on 2/9/2020 are selected mouse over one of them and right-click
From the context-sensitive menu select Send to>Compressed (Zipped) folder
Enter a name (mattaLogs) for the Zip file.
Attach that zip file (mattaLogs.zip) to the forum post.
I still cant find it man. It doesn’t show up no matter what I do. I’ve followed the instructions and I still cant find it at all. But have figured out why I might have gotten banned. I was on a server 617th matter of fact. they were a tone of people hacking when we joined and then hopped on the Altis server. we believe I may have gotten something from that server because we went to other servers where I was banned for the same thing. We also believe that it maybe a reason I cant see these files but that makes no since. I would love to show my screen to prove this instead of me constantly having you to look at this.

It does not work that way. Without the RPT I am going to base the ban on the logs.
You have already lied a couple of times in this exchange so your credibility with me is very low right now.
I don’t want to be perm banned this is the only server I play on.
I was on a server 617th
we went to other servers where I was banned for the same thing.
Yes we Mainly play on the Nak servers. I should have rephrased that I apologies. we went to that server and 718th server just to use the aftermath mod since we cant on use it on Nak servers. I should have said that earlier. So im not lying, I should have rephrased that properly. The Nak Servers are what we mainly play on BUT we also have gone to those two servers to mess with Aftermath and operation Trebuchet. Im not lying I should have picked better words for that.
I will keep trying to find them but I honestly cant find them at all. Is there somehow me and some else have the same name? or would have had to been on the server when it happened? ive never been banned in arma since ive only had about 140 hours in it and 70% is single player waiting for my friends or just not wanting to play on other servers that aren’t CTI.
There is no mistaken identity if you look at the log entry it is based on your IP address and SteamId(BattlEye GUID). Even if someone stole your steamID the IP addresses would not match. Let me know if you find the RPT files.
One of the other Admins pointed out that you might be hiding system files and folders, which might be hiding the contents of the folder we are looking for.
Follow these steps then the step below
Open File Explorer from the taskbar.
Select View > Options > Change folder and search options.
Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and OK.
He we go. I wasn’t looking here for a bit thinking I wasn’t going to be able to fix it. Hopefully this proves I wasn’t hacking. Arma3_x64_2020-02-09_18-14-50 mattalogs.zip (1.35 MB)
You were loading a restricted mod which caused the issue. I will remove the ban for time served, but you need to check all your mods against our approved list.
Do not connect to the server with Arma 3 Apex- Old Man (Beta) or Aftermath
RULE #16) No Unapproved Mods
First Offense: Based on severity, up to a permanent ban.
