If you’ve just been banned and don’t know why—or if you made a new account and got banned again within hours—you’re probably dealing with something more serious than a simple account ban.
Chances are: you’ve been HWID banned.
An HWID Ban (Hardware ID Ban) means the game isn’t just banning your account or IP—it’s banning your actual computer by detecting and blocking your unique hardware identifiers (like motherboard ID, drive serials, MAC address, etc.).
❗How Do You Know It’s an HWID Ban? #
You may be HWID banned if:
- You get banned again shortly after making a new account
- You already tried using a new username, email, IP, and VPN—but still got banned
- The ban happens without warning, often just minutes or hours after logging in
In most cases, this means either your hardware is blacklisted, or your system still contains logs/traces from your previous setup—or both.
🔧How to Fix an HWID Ban (Proven & Effective) #
1. Reinstall Windows #
Wipe your system completely. A clean Windows install removes:
- Game logs
- Registry keys
- Cached launcher files
- Cheat tool leftovers
It’s the safest and most effective way to reset everything. Avoid “cleaners” if you want real results.
2. Use a Trusted HWID Spoofer #
Install a working, updated HWID spoofer to fake your hardware ID.
This step is essential after a ban, but only if you reinstalled Windows first. Spoofers on their own are not enough.
⚠️ Only use spoofers from trusted sources—many free or cracked ones are scams or viruses.
3. Install the Game #
After Windows is reinstalled and the spoofer is working, cleanly install the game.
Make sure no old config files or cloud backups are carried over from your banned setup.
4. Create a Brand New Account #
Use new credentials:
- New email
- New username
- No reused phone numbers or payment info
- New IP (VPN recommended, but not mandatory if HWID and traces are clean)
🧼What Are Traces / Logs – And Why Do They Matter? #
Even after uninstalling the game or cheats, your PC often keeps:
- Launcher logs
- Crash dumps
- Registry entries
- User tokens
- Anti-cheat detection files
These “traces” can silently re-trigger a ban—even if your hardware ID has been spoofed.
That’s why Windows reinstall is non-negotiable if you want to be truly clean.
❌Why Trace Cleaners Aren’t Reliable #
Most “log cleaners” only wipe the obvious stuff. But traces are often stored:
- In
%AppData%,%ProgramData%, or the registry - Inside protected system folders
- In synced cloud directories
Unless you’re an expert, you’re not going to catch them all. So again:
✅ Just reinstall Windows — it’s faster and safer.
