PB now appears to be blocking auto hotkey, which is Macro software.

http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=29679

Rumors of G15 Profiler been banned to is a possibility, but blocking out the function of a keyboard may be too far for PB. Although i got a G15 and wouldn't mind the macros been banned.

When PB starts dictating what hardware you can use they are gonna loose their customers.

I hate to break it to you, but .ahk's can be exported as .exe's

.... and then be renamed to something like 'firefox.exe'

I think it just scans for "autohotkey.exe". If you rename it I'm sure it'll pass.

You people forget of the hotkeys that can be of use and no body know's or cares if they find out that you use it. You can set it up so you can actually look around in your chopper/plane even if you use a joystick. Also, you can set it up so you just click with the mouse to call things out as a comander. There are lot's of non-exploitable uses to macros

Too bad. Macros are another way of cheating.

Yeah, anything that gives you an ADVANTAGE in a game is cheating isnt it. Shut up whiner. So now what, are EA and Dice gonna ban choppers because the tv missile pwns it. Live with it, if you dont like macros, download them yourself. Get autohotkey and stop whining. Once again, Ea and Dices minds are only changed by the whiners. And yes, I have used macros before, and I dont give a shit what you say. Im not pissed that theyre gone, im just pissed that ea and dice never get any other input from people other then whiners.
