Except I recall the same or similar message occasionally popping up during login (it's been a while since I've seen that message), and just clicking on login a second time worked fine, and the "... traces ..." wouldn't just dissappear in the 2 or 3 seconds it took to clear the pop up and click on login again.

No they would not. Maybe the developers used an old pop-up for the new system. Jussi

Maybe the developers used an old pop-up for the new system. That would make sense, a new pop-up might have required a full update, but reusing an old pop up message for a new purpose would only need a server side change, but the players that have seen that pop up from the old days may wonder if the game thought they had some type of hack.

Yeah that authentication unavailable thing has happened to me too before. But just trying to log in again worked and it was nothing big.

I got it only once, and I couldn't login for 1 hour. I had heard of it, but I never thought it would happen to me really.

Problem is that most of the people, especially those not following forums, don't know that they should wait some time before trying again.
Speaking of bans, are they going to review long ago happened bans? I'm thinking to send email for those two alt accounts.

BTW, if any of you, my friends, get banned and know you didn not cheat, just tell me and I can check it out. ...but do not make me ask the devs to check, if you ever cheated. So far only one of the checks I did resulted in unbanning. All others just reveald to me how blatantly those people were cheating behind the curtains. Jussi

Well now it seems that drag races are risky, at least until the hackers go away, as a hacker could get behind you and ram / bounce your car across the finish line at high speeds and in too short a time. This is based on reading that some players have been banned for a single incident, as opposed to a pattern of incidents.
What about the old bans where players were accused of using event loaders to start short puruits (back when cops were in free roam), when instead they had selected "join event" from the new feed when a friend won a rare part (3 star performance part in those days), to do the first pursuit, then pressed the "\" and "]" keys to redo the pursuit? This could almost be duplicated with normal methods by ramming a cop car and quickly driving into a cooldown spot like the one in the ship yard (there was a brief pause by the cops while for the game switched to heat level 5 in those days). I don't recall who was caught up in this.

it´s so odd, tryed to log in on Thursday and got Autentication is temporarily unavailable on Chicane EU and US. Banned on Apex. Waited about 5 hours and then it was Autentication is temporarily unavailable on both Apex and Chicane. Friday it was Autentication on all. Today it´s switching from banned and autentication on all.
What´s the problem? It can´t be more than one of them, Banned OR Autentication. Contacted an Advisor and he checked out my account and said there is no problem with my account at EA´s side. I have sent an mail to accountdisputes, does anyone here know how long it will take to get an answer from them?

For as I know, the devs are currently flooded by reports of hackers trying to get unbanned. So yea... expect to wait one or two weeks, but you should be unbanned if you did nothing wrong.

just got the answer for my account RIBSPREADER We have identified that your car was moving in a manner and/or speed that is outside of our normal in-game parameters, and upon further investigation we have detected a pattern of play that provides an unfair advantage over other players outside of the intended in-game mechanics.
I have never used any speedhack, autofinish or tankmode. The only thing i have used in race is slingshot, NOS and juggernaut at the same time, then used the Quick reset and used them all at once again. I Always try to play fair without ramming others, if i do, i ALWAYS say "sorry for ramming" at the end of the race. I am almost always finishing at 2:nd - 4:th Place, so how can it register a higher speed?
When i bought the Mclaren F1 i stripped my zonda chinque and it became an A-class. it gives me a quicker start but i alway loose with it. I seldom do Dragracing, it´s not my cup of tea
This is so strange.
I will send a new mail to accountdispute.
Jussi, can you please check out what i´ve done wrong, and explain it to me.

The only thing i can Think of is that my internet is not that stable.(amount of lag depends on weather) I live on the countryside with ADSL on telephonepoles. 7MB downstream and 0,5MB - 1,0MB upstream. If that can have something to do with my car moves. Sometimes i´m at 1:st position the whole race and when finish i´m almost the last, even though i cross the line as No1.

Jussi, can you please check out what i´ve done wrong, and explain it to me. I try to remember to do that tomorrow, when the team gets back to office. I got the reliability percentage for the countermeasures today, 99.986%. I know anything under 100% is not fun, if you are one of those who got banned and actually did not cheat, but the percentage is quite good for a system that was just launched. Jussi
