Ricochet false positive: Attestation status failed on legal hardware (ASUS Z97 / i7-4790 / Official BIOS 9901)
Hey everyone,
I’m posting this out of pure frustration with the automated support system, hoping someone from the community or devs might see it.
My Warzone is completely blocked due to an "attestation status failed" error, despite my account showing "NO BAN DETECTED" in the enforcement portal. The game’s kernel-level anti-cheat is incorrectly flagging my fully legitimate, older PC architecture as a security risk.
My Hardware & Setup:
\* Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger (Intel Z97 chipset)
\* Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 (Haswell)
\* BIOS Version: Official 9901 BIOS provided directly by ASUS (flashed via EZ Flash with valid digital signatures).
\* Security: Dedicated dTPM 2.0 module installed and initialized, Secure Boot enabled in UEFI mode.
I've tried going through Activision support, but their ticket system loops endlessly into help articles and blocks manual inquiries for non-ban enforcement issues.
Has anyone with older, legacy high-end platforms (like Z97/Z87) encountered this sudden attestation block recently? Is there any workaround, or are older legitimate BIOS builds just getting silently filtered out by Ricochet now?
Thanks for any insights.
