The guid you have entered is caused by having an invalid CDKey entered in Battlefield 2142.

This guid is globally banned by evenbalance. If you are getting a ban message with this GUID try reinstalling Battlefield 2142

so I reinstalled again, updated - I have tried your work around for the cd key saving in regedit. to no avail it keeps kicking me saying pbhub enforcing ban..

so i guess i can never play this game?

the key looks fine when i type it into the registry however once i close and go into the game get kicked, when i return to the registry its a massive code of numbers no longer just my cd key, it would appear pb is changing the data once it kicks me.

it is not uncommon for a response to a trouble ticket at Even Balance to take several days. also adding to the ticket sends it to the back of the line again.

i have heard of it taking a few tries with reinstalling, regedit etc for it to take

then other people never have the problem to start with
