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

My account got permanently suspended while inactive without notice: Page 2

Yesterday I was banned for just entering the game telling me I was using hacks or third-party applications but I have never used anything, something that I have seen is that they banned people who used razer programs and I had one

dev0n

mario638 wait... I also have razer software on my PC, that might be the cause of that triggered the suspension

prmstr

me too, I got banned yesterday for ''third-party applications''. I have also the ''Razer Software'' on my PC. Maybe thats the reason but I don't know. Im so sad I lost all my skins and time spent on VALORANT. Please if someone have some solution please tell me.

kringlog123

prmstr well if razer software is unauthorized that might be the case
vanguard is too strict

prmstr

kringlog123 Yeah, but VALORANT rules said that the suspension would last longer depending on the importance of the advantage. And Razer Software doesn't give that much advantage...

D1fficult

I just logged in after a couple of weeks too, to find that I was suspended for 3rd party apps. I also had the Razer Software before the ban and it updated the day before I opened Valorant to find the suspension. I had the same reply from staff.
If it is Razer Software then it's a false positive and they have to exclude it. This was the case with other programs too when it was in Beta but after e-mailing them, the programs were not detected as suspicious anymore so I hope this is the same case and they will add the program on the exclusion list and revert the bans. Regardless of it, I was only playing casual spike rush once in a while so it's not that big of a loss for me anyway.

D1fficult

And my suspension has just been lifted. I also mentioned this thread mentioning razer being a possible false positive.

prmstr

D1fficult How did your suspension get lifted?

kringlog123

prmstr it isnt about advantage vanguard thought it was a Hack because it was unauthorized in the valorant system

prmstr

I opened a ticket at VALORANT support for the second time and this is what I got answered.

As we have already mentioned in that answer, there is nothing more we can do in this situation. We have thoroughly investigated the issue and have provided definitive answers on the subject. Our decision is final and will not be open to change on subsequent requests.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to go into the details of the investigation or applications that led to this suspension, as disclosing this information could compromise future investigations.

That said, we consider that all your doubts regarding this case have been resolved, so both this and any request related to this case will be closed.

dev0n

prmstr same exact shit that they said on my ticket too.

bagiaadis

@prmstr were on the same ship here buddy. riot wont unban my account because the really believe that im hacking. so sad cause that acc was a day 1 valorant account.

Happi

Me too. I have been banned for no reasons. I get permanent suspension, and feel so bad.

dev0n

guys just spam them with tickets until an actual employee replies, we all have razer software which just confirms that it probably triggered the anti-cheat to ban us. from what I know razer actually interacts with any full screen game, which maybe caused the ban. idk shitty anti cheat just bans random people

1Greyhound1

dev0n people have been doing that a for a while and nt much has happened, riot would rather silence us than actually fix their fockin game

Kopiii

can I still get back the money I spent on the skins?

1Greyhound1

Kopiii nope

teamuffin

Got permanently suspended today for the same '3rd party application' bullshit. It's my day off too 😡
Good news though, Overwatch 2 is coming out in October and is free to play. Then we will be rid of this China-funded spyware for good.
