What to keep if you were caught in a wave
In a wave, publishers handle many appeals at once, and short or angry tickets are closed quickly. A clear record of your own account helps a reviewer separate your case from the rest.
- The full ban notice, as a screenshot and as text.
- Launcher and anti-cheat logs, and any error or connection messages.
- Proof that the account is yours: purchase receipts and login history.
- A timeline of software installs, driver updates, overlays and device changes around the ban.
