Hi everyone! I've been playing Valorant since the game first opened and i played it casually almost every day. I've never said something toxic or offended, never used some third party application etc. The last time i logged in was around December 2021 and i've been really busy with works and any other stuff starting from 2022. Just when i want to have a break from works and back to play valorant again, i got the notice that i've been permanently suspended when i logged in and it said that i've been banned because the using third party software. It was really strange because i've been inactive for almost 2 months and no one used my account. I've tried to contact riot through email and the answer that i got was some bot answer like " Our investigation confirmed that this is an account that is related to the usage of scripts, hacks, exploits, or unauthorized third-party programs in VALORANT (we're unable to tell which program). Because of that, the account will remain permanently suspended. ". It just really disappointing from a huge game developer like riot games that you guys just banned my account without notice and unknown reason while the account was inactive. All the time and money that i've spent on this game were treated like a trash. Does any of you have the same experience as me?

bryank4678 The same thing happened to me today, out of nowhere. All my skins are gone now. THANK YOU RIOT GAMES

I wonder how they even see that you have third-party software when you don't have I wonder how they even see that you have third-party software when you don't have

same here, banned for using third party software, with the same generic answer apparently they can ban you for using any software, i have been banned for using a software that they themselves said they would never ban anyone for using it on the reddit forums. they themselves said they would at best block that software well i was banned after 3 days of playing and without any warning, nobody accused me of using cheats but they don't do any further investigation, their anticheat system marks you as a cheater and there is nothing else to do.

Same here got banned for using "Third party software" when i logged back in after a month 🙁

I had a similar situation and unfortunately the ban remained. Setting up a new account helped, fortunately I had nothing of value on the old one

I played normally for a week then all of a sudden I try to open Val again and I’m getting the hwid 152 warning so I can’t enter the game anymore. I go ahead and check the Riot client and it doesn’t say that I’m banned so I contacted Riot support. 1 person tells me that my acc is banned for 1 year due to bad behaviour then instaclosed the ticket, I had no idea what he was talking about. So I send 3-4 more tickets then the second person tells me that there is no ban or restrictions on my account I get super confused because I was given 3 different answers. Now I think they are starting to realize the mistakes and they have opened a manual investigation of my account which will apparently take a lot of time… overall was a really time wasting experience talking with the different support people who only made it not only confusing but also worse

Same here as well. One week after I last played I got banned for "third-party software". Never once used it, never will. But whats the difference if I'm going to get banned regardless? Super pissed about this. Hundreds of hours spent gone. Money spent down the drain. Submitting tickets don't work as they claim their ban is righteous. Terrible company.

ikozni Same here, I got permanently suspended for ‘third party software’ as well when I has never used it. I submitted tickets and they kept giving me the same generic answer and believe their anti-cheat system is correct. I am devastated since I had spent so many hours and money on this game and no one cares to believe or help me. I also contacted members of their anti-cheat team on twitter but no reply.

I hope this gets fixed soon seeing how it could happen to everyone 🙁

Same here, I got permanently suspended for ‘third party software’, but i dont play my account at that time. i know something went wrong at they service. GREAT JOB RIOT. GREAT JOB

Shaider

same thing here. I got permanently suspended 6 months ago. I kept sending tickets, and all they do is send the same message. That's 9 tickets in total, and nothing happened.

LETSGOOOO

MF_ACIDZ Hey! did you get to log in and play right after the released the ban?

JayTuhng

bryank4678 ive had it happen to 2 of my accounts now with Riot Games and ive never cheated in my life. they tell me it already permanent and to make a new account... like i havent spent 500 on that account i wouldnt cheat to ruin my account.... im heartbroken and gaming is over if u have to play 24/7 so when u go afk it wont ban me...

JayTuhng

JayTuhng

MF_ACIDZ wow how did u do it? they tell me it is permanent and u cant get it back. NEVER cheated once i spent too much money to even chance it. i was gone for maybe 3 months

I have also encountered this issue after logging into the game after 2 months of inactivity, I will let you all know (if i remember) What responses i get from support. I also do have a razer device with razer drivers installed.

Edit: My account was Hacked and i assume that the person who played on it was cheating despite them having a horrible k/d

Last update: Account had the ban lifted as it was indeed compromised! A W for riot support.

Hiiro

N1ghtAF plzz how many ticket did you submit to get your ban lifted the same situation is happening to me i also have spent to much time and money in that account and wouldn't be dumb enough to use cheating third party softwers... while i think that i also got my ban after i didn't logging in for to long ...i am also concerned about another situation i played on a public gamimng station While I do not believe there was any cheating software present, I am concerned that something on that system might have been mistakenly flagged or misunderstood by their anti-cheat system.

maxheralds

played my first game in like 6 months a week ago and a day later the account is suspended, something sketch asf going on.

I left valorant for 2 months due to exams and the windows 11 error, when I tried to log in I got a perm penalty for third party software.

Even though I didn't even play the game during that period.

I have spent a fair amount of money on the game so its a bit disappointing

meesh

I was banned a couple months ago for the same thing while I was inactive. I have been sending tickets to Riot about the matter multiple times. Before I got banned I bought the Ignite Fan bundle which cost me a lot of money, but I also spent more money before that. I have been playing since the Beta and this has been my favorite game since. It is so frustrating to get banned for something I didn't even do, I don't even have a rank since I usually play unranked with friends (I am not skilled in the game either, the highest I got was gold). Why would I risk getting banned if I spent so much money and time in this account? I also have Razer apps in my PC but I don't have anything else. Any tips on this?
