However, in the spirit of helping, here are some reasons you may encounter this message.
Eligibility Issues: If you see a lock icon on the tournament, it might mean you’re not eligible.
Check the entry requirements by clicking the icon and ensure you meet all the criteria, including any age restriction in YOUR country.
Disallowed Program Kick: If you receive a message from BattlEye about a disallowed program,
it means a program running on your machine is not permitted.
You should:
Fully close or disable that program, ensuring all background processes are stopped.
Common culprits include macro tools, visual enhancement tools, virtualisation software,
and hardware management software.
If you can’t identify the program, perform a clean boot to disable non-essential processes.
Using a Virtual Private network (VPN) will result in a ban;
Constant use of a VPN will result in an internet address block for a long time!
Many developers use a VPN during development.
They forget they have VPN switched on and jump into BR and get a error message! and ban warning!
