Marvel Rivals developer NetEase Games admits that a number of players have recently been hit with bans for cheating… even though they'd not been cheating at all. 

According to community manager 'James' in the game's official Discord server, this has proven to be a problem for those playing Marvel Rivals in compatibility layer programs – software designed to allow users to run things like games on a different operating system to the one it was written for. For example, you might use one to play a Windows-compatible game on Linux. Needless to say, it's not cheating software, but it sounds like NetEase Games' cheat detection systems might not have realised this.
