f1 2018 [F1 2017/18] Wrongly banned from servers, for cheating

[WillRodF1 2]

One thing that bothered me a lot in the game (aka, since F1 2017), is that it's "banned from the server for cheating."
Being as clean as I can run on the servers, there are always those idiots who enter the halls, not to run clean, in a fair dispute, but rather to indulge in the fun of others.
Sometimes, I feel like playing on the server, meeting new people, and also participating in championships, but this impediment that Codemasters made me, prevents me from doing so.

I still remember what happened: F1 2017, public room in Abu Dhabi. Some idiots, who were on the server, were getting in the way of anyone who wanted to be serious. They were locking the track, the curves, anyway ... In a curve in Yas Marina, it was blocked (car stopped on purpose), I had to leave the track, I took the punishment of the game, to divert those imbeciles, and since then, no I can play online more, because I was marked as a "cheater".

Sincerely, Codemasters ... I struggle to be able to buy the original game, I get indebted many times, but if this restriction of the servers, is not withdrawn, I never buy any more from the franchise.

And, That's all.

It also happens when you have mods installed.

It only happens*

I dont think there has ever been a case where one has been actually banned.

The funniest thing is, I have no mod (cars and performance) installed.
Only one that modified the cameras, to leave them the same as the TV broadcasts.

Modding is not required to trigger the anti-cheat stuff anyways. Any kind of file modification that windows or whatever could've caused can cause the anti-cheat going wild.

Honestly, I've never seen one of those ... But anyway, good to know ...

Now, if I go back to the original camera files (doing the integrity check by Steam), can I get back to playing online, or is this ban permanent?

I've never seen a ban in this game, whatever the game says, so you would be the first in the 2 years that we've had this anti-cheat system 😛

Yes you can, same happened to me tried to do a unranked lobby with a friend when 2019 mod was isntalled, it got me banned from servers. Later when i installed the original game files it let me play both ranked and unranked

Well, I'll give up the more realistic cameras, and hope that the same thing happened to you. And may we "bump into" the race tracks!
