Not trying to scare anyone - just worried myself...

I can log on every other account except for 1, using both PTC and Google Auth...

When i try to log on the 'banned' account using pokefarmer - i get this

[20:22:51] Download game settings...
[20:22:51] Download player inventory...
[20:22:52] Download of player inventory failed.
[20:22:52] Connecting to login servers...
[20:22:52] Connecting to game servers...
[20:22:53] Download player info...
[20:22:53] Download game settings...
[20:22:53] Download player inventory...
[20:22:54] Download of player inventory failed.

I cannot log on it using the Game App either, despite being able to use both PTC and Google Auth on other accounts when testing...

I am updated using 1.0.94 version..

Thoughts?
 
just about 10 minutes ago, i cant login with PTC account with same problem..
 
give it 1-3 hours and try again, only 1 bot or max 2 in same location, its a soft ip/account ban.
 
Have you guys tried it without using a VPN? Niantic's servers react to VPNs now. If you have then you could be soft banned for a couple hours. This happened to me the other day and I waited for about two hours and tried it without a VPN and I was able to login.
 
yea, looks like hard ban, 2 other account work just fine, never been online with more than one at any given time.
bastards took the highest level one ;(

Same here, sad I just got a 3100CP 100%IV Dragonite tonight... was excited to try it out
 
Getting this issue a few minutes ago. Hopefully just softban, but i'll reply later if i don't get unbanned
 
looks to me like a server issue, I don't know if this is exactly how they ban or not, have yall received any emails, if so please past a copy of the email.

any updates?

this happen only with my ptc account, google account work fine..

when i want to login with that error account using my mobile, the screen looks like "the server is down" weeks ago..

is it sign for hard ban ?
 
No. It can be a soft ban. I received that server down screen too. It was due to using a VPN. I stopped all bots and any activity and slept it off. I was able to log on just fine the next morning. With that being said... I think you all should bot a little more realistically. I've never bot a location that is unrealistic. I've been botting with locations that are approximately 2-4 hours drive from my location.

But of course be prepared for the worst to happen.
 
Ok heres the thing.
Tried to LogIn on my phone (poke farmer was already not working for some time, because it got the max amount of pokemon inside the the inventory) and received the information, that Game Data can't get loaded from the server.
Deleted the app, reinstalled on this and another phone, tried to login with a new account -> Info: Gameserver Error.

Im pretty sure its server caused, and NOT a ban wave.

When I checked last time i wasn't even flagged as cheater on poke advisor, and holy crap, i received about 10000 softbans in 1 week.

So long
 
I can get in and capture pokemon but when ever i click on a stop it says "try again"
