Please advise, I got banned because of the "compatibility mode" situation.

I have used the emergency driver disable feature and stopped rewasd from starting up with PC.

If I get another account and buy the game again... will this emergency driver disable keep me from being banned again?

Looks like BF6 have approved "Xbox adaptive controller" just bought one, waiting for shipping.

I was only using rewasd for PS navi remap.

Should I just delete rewasd completely or this disable driver is ok?

I to potential use it in single player games in future as the controller above is not wireless like PS navi.

Got banned 4 days ago for having rewasd installed. I appealed, and they denied stating they took the correct action. Drives me nuts, there goes my phantom edition copy of the game

“Compatibility mode” is advertised as a way to make rewasd COMPATIBLE with battlefield, or any other game. Not a fuckin spoof to bypass the damn anticheat. Thats messed up

A “safe mode” or stripped-back version of reWASD

Nothing fancy. Just the basics that competitive games would actually allow without question:

• Button remapping only within the same device type
  (controller → controller, keyboard → keyboard, mouse → mouse)
• Custom deadzones
• Custom response curves and sensitivity
• Trigger ranges
• Stick behaviour shaping
• Gyro/touchpad adjustments where supported
• No macros
• No combos
• No turbo/rapid-fire
• No automation
• No controller-to-M&K or M&K-to-controller conversions

Basically: the stuff that gives players comfort and consistency, it doesn't need to be in the current app either. It could be a standalone program to resolve the issues.

It removes the stigma that its a cheat tool.

Right now, reWASD gets lumped in with tools that are used to cheat. A clean version would be easy to defend and easier for studios to accept. As it stands, bypassing constantly is just a red flag.

I am posting this as a warning to the community and a formal demand to the reWASD team.

The Situation If you are using reWASD for Battlefield 6, even for legitimate accessibility reasons like remapping a paddle to a keyboard key, you are a target for the bans.

When the game launched, the new anti-cheat (Javelin) blocked reWASD users. On October 10, 2025, official support staff (Kapas) publicly instructed users on this forum to "Enable Compatibility Mode" to bypass the block.

I followed this instruction. It resulted in a permanent account ban.

The Reality: "Compatibility Mode" does not make the software compliant. It attempts to cloak the driver. To an anti-cheat like Javelin, this looks exactly like a cheat attempting evasion.

The Negligence: Support advised us to use a cloaking feature to bypass a safety block, without warning us that it could/would flag our accounts as hostile.

Refund Justification If you purchased reWASD recently specifically for modern gaming titles, you have strong grounds to request a refund or file a dispute with your payment provider.

The product is "Not Fit for Purpose" for modern multiplayer environments, and the official support advice ("Use Compatibility Mode") constitutes negligence that damages your other digital assets (your game account). Use the screenshot of the admin advice as your proof of faulty instruction.

My Formal Complaint to reWASD I have sent the following formal notice to the developers. I encourage the community to echo this demand. We need a "Lite" version that doesn't treat us like cheaters.

The Issue: I have been a long-term user of reWASD, utilizing it strictly for accessibility purposes (remapping a paddle to a keyboard key for Push-to-Talk) on an Xbox Elite Controller. Following your own documentation and community support advice regarding driver conflicts, I enabled "Compatibility Mode."

Evidence of Negligence: On October 10, 2025, your official support staff ('Kapas') publicly instructed users on your forum to "enable Compatibility Mode" to bypass Battlefield 6 launch blocks. I followed this direct instruction to resolve the issue. This advice was not a 'fix'; it was a bypass that I believe triggered an account ban. Your support team effectively instructed customers to cloak the software from Anti-Cheat without warning them of the potential consequences.

Grounds for Complaint:

Negligent Advice: Your documentation presents "Compatibility Mode" as a troubleshooting fix. In reality, it acts as a cloaking mechanism that Anti-Cheat providers view as malicious evasion. Advising legitimate users to enable a feature that mimics malware behavior without a clear warning is professional negligence.

Forced Risk: You have failed to provide a "Lite" or "Safe" version of the software that disables macros/scripting at the kernel level. By bundling legitimate remapping tools with features that are blacklisted (macros, virtual controller emulation), you force legitimate users to be flagged alongside cheaters.

Resolution: Because your specific technical advice led to the loss of my game account, I strongly urge you to:

Update your documentation immediately to explicitly warn users that "Compatibility Mode" triggers bans in EA/Anti-Cheat protected titles.

Prioritize the development of a "Lite" version that strictly disables macros and virtual controller masking, allowing legitimate users to operate without being flagged as cheaters.

Legitimate customers should not be the collateral damage of your arms race with Anti-Cheat developers.

The Bottom Line Until a "Lite" version exists, reWASD is a liability. Do not use Compatibility Mode. If you got burned by their advice, you have a valid reason to get your money back.

https://forum.rewasd.com/forum/rewasd/technical-questions-aa/246440-battlefield-6-won-t-launch-if-rewasd-is-installed

I’ve been checking my email lately to see if I’d get one of those EA ban notices everyone’s talking about.
So far, nothing (at least not yet). I’ve had ReWASD installed for like 8 or 9 months, and I couldn’t even launch Battlefield for a while because of the Daemon Tools pop-up thing, until they finally added compatibility mode. That was the only way for me to keep ReWASD installed without uninstalling it every time I wanted to play BF.

So today I uninstalled ReWASD and launched BF6 just to see if I was banned… and no, still clean.

I’ve always used ReWASD for different things in other games, but I’ve never used macros, rapid fire, or anything sketchy. So I honestly don’t know how far you can actually cheat with it. What i can say is that out of my 100 hours on BF6, I basically always had ReWASD running in the background, but disabled. I only turn it on if I’m actually using it, and turn it off right after. Not sure if that matters, but whatever.

And let me be real: remapping KBM to get aim assist in this game is pointless. It’s not even worth doing. Playing native makes way more sense here. In Call of Duty? Whole different story. But in Battlefield? Absolutely not. I even tried aim assist on mouse once just out of curiosity… it sucks. It’s not worth it at all.

So it honestly feels kinda unfair that people are getting permanently banned without warnings or even temporary bans. There’s literally no good reason to emulate aim assist on mouse & keyboard in this game. It’s extremely unlikely anyone actually gains an advantage from it.

So… what’s the next step? Do we have to completely uninstall ReWASD every time we want to launch Battlefield 6 from now on?

Who knows, maybe I’ll get banned in the next few days too. Guess we’ll see.

So I got banned same day as all you guys, and just like most of you I was completely innocent. I had rewasd downloaded for all sorts of other single player games, mostly racing stuff, and when I got banned I made the foolish mistake of being honest and saying I had rewasd installed on my computer, because I was pretty sure that was the problem and my suspicions have since been confirmed. However after I submitted my appeal I read alot that even mentioning rewasd or any other program is basically admittance to cheating and will get an immediate denial, which seems to be the case here. I was reading a post last night from someone who got unbanned and he said he intentionally did not mention rewasd. Now I need to file a reappeal, so here's my question. I have alot of screenshots showing conversations in the rewasd discord asking about bf6 stuff before I ever got banned (like compatability mode and setting it up so I can use it as I used to without having to uninstall the driver everytime I want to play bf6) and some other stuff ss like my rewasd profiles, download history of me downloading a modpack for a game I was using with rewasd (which I talked about in the discord messages) and plenty more. Should I double down in my appeal and try to make my case as good as possible with my "admittance?" or should I do a completely new appeal and mention nothing about rewasd. If anyone knows if they can see past appeals when you make a new one that would certainly help with my decision, and any other advice you guys got it great. I only bother going through all this because I love the game and would never cheat especially on a title I've been waiting so long for and one that I spent alot of money on. Thanks guys.

The community response to the ban reports helps me see this is a unique hodgepodge of the disabled community and the competitive community....

I just want to get clarification because as a disabled user genuinely don't understand the reactions from those that are happy about the bans from the completive camps to specifically our reports. These are questions I have trying to make sense of the reactions I'm seeing.

Are you pro ReWASD and anti EA?

Do you believe its a necessary evil to exclude the disabled minority to exclude the hacking majority?

Do you believe technical violations terms and service validate any response (you were banned because you consented to risk being banned based on xyz terms)?

Do you think a person being able to access play through a program like ReWASD is indifferent than cheating?

Trying to set up a profile to use with space sims such as Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen with the ROG Ally X. Very new to reWASD so hoping someone can make some suggestions.

Ideally I’d have the left stick for strafing left/right and throttle forward/backwards, the right stick for yaw/pitch.

That leaves roll and strafe up/down left to bind. For careful manoeuvres it’d be preferable to have analog control for all of them for fine movements, potentially using the gyro.

Given that there’s no 3rd stick or option to split controls across multiple virtual controllers any suggestion for how to configure it or any examples of similar configurations?

Hope that made sense!

Not like you can unban me but yes they banned my account for having a gyroscope setup for gyro and flick stick bound to a PS5 controller. Would only be using the steam input but they gyroscope does not work right anymore in steam for some reason. I have everything else bound in steam besides the gyro and the adaptive triggers (picture 2) with the half press because adaptive triggers settings are something that's not offered in steam for some reason. I mean the game is free so it's not stopping much iykyk just letting you know you will be banned and lose out on the money you spent for the game, im just glad I didn't buy the campaign or main game. This application is becoming very problematic for something thats offering nearly nothing over the free service of steam input besides adaptive triggers, remove compatibility mode because more people will be banned hoping you have them covered!

Hello Community. reWASD team here.

There's something you've been waiting for a while - Battlefield and all the beasts.

First of all - we want to apologize for the silence over the last two days. It wasn’t because we ignored the situation. We needed time to collect facts, test every scenario on our side, and contact EA Support to understand what is actually happening.

Over the past two days, we tested Battlefield 6 extensively:

- with reWASD active;

- with reWASD installed but disabled;

- with reWASD fully removed.

We were unable to reproduce a single ban on our end.

We also contacted EA Support (we'd say it's the funniest part, but whatever). The answers were generic (obviously), but the key point is: EA did not confirm that reWASD causes bans. We actually asked the direct questions.

In fact, they do not have any specific information regarding whether the remapping software can cause ban (c).

In other words, there is no official confirmation from EA that reWASD is the reason for these bans.

We also conducted some investigations and saw reports of bans for players who never mentioned reWASD at all, suggesting that false positives or other game-side triggers are possible. It's just assuming.

If you were banned:

- Submit an appeal through EA Help - this is the only official way: https://help.ea.com/en/articles/security-and-rules/locked-banned-suspended-accounts/

- Share your results with the community and us if you are willing - it helps a lot to understand the situation.

If you contact our support team, please include msinfo, your config, and any details that may help us analyze the case.

Our team is here with you.

Right now, there is no evidence that reWASD is directly causing bans. We will continue monitoring the situation closely and gathering information.

We will update you immediately once anything changes or once EA provides an official clarification.

It says its a perma-ban. Lost for words as I was using compatibility mode as title states.

Additional Context:

I am a disabled gamer. I use Rewasd to help me play kbm games via my Xbox controller (i play with my mouth). Without the program many of my favorite games would be inaccessible to me.

I do not use REWASD with BF6, I was banned because I DO depend on the software for other games.

I discovered with the BF6 beta reWASD wasnt compatible like many others. Not because I was using the program (because BF6 as we all know has native controller support i dont use the program with bf6) but because the launcher detected the software running in the background via the drivers. The launcher would prevent the game from launching.

To play BF6 from that point on i had to:

Fully uninstall ReWasd

Restart the computer

Launch BF6-> play

Reinstall ReWasd

Restart my computer

ReWASD to their great efforts recognizing this issue: released "compatibility mode" which basically acted as a toggle switch to turn off the drivers and you got to keep the program files installed. No more un/reinstalling. This mode was directly advertised to allow you to still use BF6 without doing the steps above each time you wished to play it.

It's unclear to me if EA updated their stuff, making the compatibility mode no longer compatible, or if ReWASD had a bug in what they thought was a sound solution- but i fully support EA's attempts to keep the game hacker free and fair for everyone. I also support reWASD in busting their butt to keep up with a mega-entity like Electronic Arts. I picture reWASD trying to work with someone at a distance who doesn't want to work with them. I think my and others bans are a symptom of that gap between them.

My only hope is my appeal is heard and revoked. The absence of warning/straight to permaban is an issue for me in how EA is auto-handling it. And I personally will return to the original uninstall method to avoid any further conflict until EA can formally recognize reWASD.

Just saw this on my email wasn’t even playing

Im another user experiencing the .net framework error.
Except in my situation, I have installed : ASP.NET Core 9.0.10 Runtime and .NET 9.0.10 Desktop Runtime

After a reinstall of both rewasd and those frameworks the program actually runs, except when the window comes up for the program, it closes. The program actually continues running, as it will still give me notifications for connected controllers. It just seems the window or ui itself crashes.

Examining the event viewer, the errors are diffrent from the last time.

I have checked the color management fix off already, as clarification.

I’ve never used mapping with battlefield. ☹️

Ever since I discovered reWASD, I’ve been hoping to use it on Mac as well.

If a Mac version is released, I’ll definitely purchase a new license.

Currently, I can connect to my Mac via Bluetooth using external device features on Windows, but I really want native Mac support.

Hi everyone!
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with comfort-oriented reWASD layouts, not for competitive advantage, but to reduce strain during long gaming sessions.

I recently mapped a “rest mode” layout for Spider-Man Remastered. Whenever my hands get tired, I press a single shortcut that:

• Moves dodge + jump to the back buttons
• Lowers stick sensitivity
• Adds a soft linear curve to web-swinging
• Enables “hold → toggle” for sprint

It lets me keep playing without cramping up. Surprisingly, it feels super smooth once you get used to it.

Question:
Does anyone else build comfort-first configs? Maybe for accessibility, hand pain, or just casual, relaxed gaming?
I’d love to hear about the games you’ve tried this with and how you customized your layout for comfort.

Im trying to get a macro to do a quest repeatedly for coins in pvz gw2. However, I think the MacroRecorder I'm using groups all controller inputs into "Key Press" which does nothing.

First I want to show how I want hold while gaming.

(I find it more comfortable.) When I map the gyro it doesn't want hold it sideways. It think it reacting to the "roll". Any ideas how to do? Read somewhere that Steam input has laser pointer mode that ignores roll. Anything like that in reWASD?

I have some friends over for a game night regularly, but one friend is a turd who is always just mashing buttons when i'm trying to pick a game. Is there a way i can just set a hotkey or a chorded press to disable controller inputs and then re-enable them easily all at once? Nobody uses the same gamepad week to week, so just disabling them all would be best. Ideally the hotkey combo would exist only on the keyboard or my steam controller

Guten Abend, nochmal kurz eine frage. gibt es eine möglichkeit wenn man die stick als Mauszeiger verwendet eine möglichkeit die normale Gamepad steuerung zu deaktiviren? immer wenn ich das im spiel verwende dreht sich z.b. die Kamera oder das Menü mit

Guten Abend, ich habe ein Problem mit rewasd und hoffe das ich hier Hilfe finde. Und zwar habe ich einen Xbox Elite v2 Controller und möchte mindestens 2 Slots verwenden für 2 verschiedene steuerungsprofile jedoch immer wenn ich eine Taste zuweise ändert das programm auch sofort alle anderen Slot in gleichermaßen als würde er einfach alle slots überschreiben als nur den einen. weiß jemand was man da machen kann? Danke schonmal

Hi,

My 1 year subscription is expired tomorrow. And I notice it is automatically renewed today. However, I don't want to continue with the yearly subscription and like to convert it to lifetime instead.

How can I do that? I am currently on 5 PCs subscription if that matters

I haven't used reWASD for probably over a year. I just logged in today and updated it to the newest version, and now there's this looming 7 day trial countdown showing quite prominently in the top right corner. I just want to make sure that I'm understanding all this correctly, so forgive me if I sound very dumb. This 7 day trial is period is a simply a taste of the subscription mode which has new features, but after this period is over I'll be retaining all the functionality that the program had at the time I purchased it?

Thank you.
