Thanks for the very detailed guide. Im confused wether or not EAC bans nvidia gpus? You mentioned in in this thread, but in the guide you have crossed it out:

"In September of 2025 EasyAntiCheat is now hard banning GPUs, meaning this spoofing method is no longer working for EasyAntiCheat protected games"

Also:

If I'm on INTEL my only resort to spoof is either replacing my SSD with a new one, or buying a spoofable/privacy NVME?

Starting this month (march) rust will be implementing TPM requirements on selected servers. Would my only option therefore be to have a motherboard that supports TPM-SPI header?

Seems like my current setup is not meant for manual perm spoofing lol:
NVIDIA gpu
INTEL cpu
MSI motherboard
RAM has serials

I heard mixed details about GPU bans, but with my NVIDIA 4060 asustek card I get 2 hour perms. In my guide I recommend AMD gpu for ban evading currently.

The older GPU you have the better.

There is guides on how to spoof ftpm on MSI boards if you have the quick flash options on UC but I do not recommend spoofing fTPM.

Best solution is TPM-SPI header, correct.

Also I am pretty sure the TPM requirement will only be on Premium servers for now anyways.

Ye thats cooked, you cannot perm spoof with my method when ur ram has serial numbers but if you are DDR4 I believe prices for ram is not terrible atm.

You know instead if doing all the "complicated" stuff for smbios you can just replace it with my [Only registered and activated users can see links.

The package contains 750 auto generated boards wand should cover most including the correct serial format matched against the right model as well. Just a heads up.

They're not.

I do not trust data from 750 broken motherboards.

More clear message:
All the collected data you have is from cheaters, cheaters are not reliable for data usage.

Also you state this:
  • - We will NOT provide support for this toolkit
  • - If your board isn’t in the list, you must create/edit a .bat to match your exact system
  • - Running the wrong script can break your SMBIOS, so make sure it’s a proper match
  • - USE AT OWN RISK

Also blindly telling people to run a .BAT script that does not even backup the old state of people's motherboards is just dumb

All these scripts are proper. No reason to get worked up.

Yet all my facts still remain, people should always backup their SMBios data before attempting to do any modification.

Updated Thread / Github

After testing done on a brand new pc with my old Graphic card that is a NVIDIA 4000 series I can safely say that Facepunch or EAC is not utilizing the serials that NVIDIA cards have.

However whilst doing this testing I found something interesting that you should keep in mind.

After 1 day of playtime I decided to report myself in the Rust discord, after 1 hour I got 10 failed requests to

0x1540|Discord friend provider failed to post to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

I would only recommend installing (Steam, Windows updates & Rust game) if you are cheating/ban evading or even blocking

api.facepunch.com in the Windows hosts file. This will stop the server-browser from working, however you can still connect to servers through the F1 console.
