Getting banned a lot

So this has been happening a lot. For about 1 month. I decided that I was comming back to play crossfire and this is what happens. I log in perfectly, Then join a server, room, load map. I'm playing and in game I get hack tool detected (1) So I'm confused. So I restarted the game and I log in and it says I've been banned for 0Hrs 0Mins and 0secs. I'm confused so I wait 1 hr and log back in then I get server diconnected. Then I click ok and it closes game. I can't play at all like this. Doesn't let me play a full match and it's just annoying. How can I fix this?

OS:Win 7 Pro
Ram: 8gb
Gfx Card: Sapphire 7770 HD
Processor: Intel Core i5-3350P
Firewall: Completly Off
Anti-Virus: None

I have 2 pc's I play on both, depending if the good one is in use I'll use my laptop. I don't know if that does anything to do with the problem.

  • Talk to me about your internet connection. Where are you playing from? It seems you are having plenty of disconnection problems.

    The "hack tool detected" error is NOT a ban, just a badly worded error code for a network disconnection between client and server. And if you come back too fast you can get the "banned for 0 days 0 minutes" error because there is still a ghost copy of you logged in... meaning the disconnection boot did not log you out properly.

  • Has there been any recent Internet changes? Such as slower speeds? The 'Hack tool' and 'banned from the server' is caused by connection problems. I have had it many times, try restarting your computer. If the same happens, restart your router. If it continues, log on and enter UK server 1 and stay there for 30sec and then try going onto other servers.
  • No lol.. Like from which state/country :)

    Have a talk with your ISP about getting the best connection to a particular port (which would be for CF)

    I've restarted my pc 3 times this month. Shouldn't be that but I'll try to restart router.

    California I live in a small town in a high desert there's not fiber optics just DSL nothing special
  • Well as I stated before you may want to contact your ISP on how to get the best connection, on their end, to the CF servers.
  • I have report this issue! This is the final answer from Z8Games:

The error is usually received after a disconnection error from our servers. Unfortunately we do not have a time table as to when this problem will be resolved.
