Garena has officially confirmed a serious bug in Free Fire that resulted in the wrongful banning of accounts in recent days. The issue generated significant backlash in the FF community, especially among players who accessed maps from the Creation Workshop.

🚨 What caused the ban bug in Free Fire?

According to Garena, the problem was directly related to the map "Animal Assault", available in the Creation Workshop. Although the map contained no illegal content, an internal error caused the system to identify normal activities as suspicious.

This means that there was no hacking, cheating, or exploitation of glitches by players. Nevertheless, the automatic security system ended up applying wrongful bans.
