Reports credit EA’s Javelin system with spotting external input devices.

Overview

  • Community screenshots show in-game messages citing "Cronus Zen activity" as a violation of EA’s User Agreement and stating that access to Battlefield 6 has been permanently blocked.
  • Coverage from XboxEra and FandomWire compiles reports from Reddit and Facebook posts by affected players who say they were removed from the game.
  • EA’s User Agreement prohibits cheating, collusion, unfair play, and exploits, which outlets interpret as encompassing the use of input-conversion hardware like Cronus Zen.
  • FandomWire reports that Battlefield 6 uses EA’s kernel-level Javelin anti-cheat introduced in April 2025, which is described as capable of detecting unauthorized software and hardware modifications.
  • Cronus Zen developers referenced in Reddit posts urged users not to discuss bans and indicated they are investigating detection methods, while Eurogamer notes questions about some screenshots and the overall scale of enforcement remains unclear.
