I’m thinking the hw ban will remain in place until beta is actually concluded next week.

Yes, a full perm spoof/tpm change bypasses it and I can do that right now myself, but more so curious to see when it’ll lift at this point and I’ll just play on another setup in the meantime.
maybe worth to check again, one of my accounts sb got lifted but it automatically turned into a MW4 shadow after a few hours (the account didnt play the beta) it was an old bo7 sb

Just checked, all still clear and still receiving hw ban message. Id bet it stays in place until after the beta is concluded.

Just buy a TPM chip, they're very cheap, no need to replace parts

There’s nothing to bump, lol. It’s too soon to know anything until after beta ends next week.

We need a cheap bypass then that doesn't require a spoofer. So bump.

I doubt it's going to stay like this for the full release. Probably just a way to prevent ragers from swapping to other accounts in the beta?
I am pretty sure shadow bans been like this since WZ 2019 update that introduced shadow bans, i couldn’t play in another account without being flagged

Literally 1 match without cheat, using brand new account

I've suspected similar that at the very least they do link accounts like that, but who knows for certain. The differnece is here, now that if you get 1 shadow ban you can't even get past the main menu.. I would assume its just a security measure for the beta to prevent ragers.

I don't know if I can quote everyone here but my HWID warning went away after all my shadowbans got cleared. Didn't have to wait for the beta to end it simply just cleared me. GG

I am shadowed on main and have been playing on alt with no issues BO7/WZ and the MW4 beta, so the ones getting HWIDed while on DMA is simply because you´ve been raging or did in the past, there is no misterious conspiracy about it, My alt is not new, it is aged as well, also see a lot of people getting new TPM chip and still being unable to play.
New accounts are done from day one so no need to even spend time creating one and 1PC cheats are even worse, don´t even bother.
My SB has been lifted like twice then i can play regular lobbies MP/WZ just to get shadowed again the very next day, even in casuals not killing real players, only bots, so i think that account is done, at least for what remains of BO7´s life cycle, never used this acc on the beta since i firmly believe it would trigger the HWID message for sure.

So apparently mw4 beta is using cloud to run games and cloud uses different type of anti cheat rules than normal apps. Which is why so many getting hit with hwid bans but no account bans yet. Pretty sure it will change when full releases.

my alt account perm banned, i tried playing on my main and got hardware ban notice, tried on steam after changing some things around after looking into spoofing.. even downgraded to windows 10 and still hwid ban. . out of being curious i loaded up mw2 on my main and played dmz just fine.. so like you said older cod worked. but then out of nowhere i got shadowed on my main act ONLY for mw2.. i can still use the nvidia app and stream warzone on that account. activision website says im shadow banned only on mw2 and i NEVER did anything on any game with my main account. im not sure if its because somebody crashed the server in my last match and then maybe somehow they saw i had a hwid ban??? i have no idea..
