The detection could have come from various sources, including even hardware based detections.

In MAKCU its early versions, MAKCU had a detection vector that consisted of a factory installed capacitor, to bypass/fix the detection vector, you had to break the capacitor. It’s possible they detected that, and the people affected were simply those who didn't break the capacitor (although we've alerted about it several times and including the MAKCU dev aka ihack)

It’s also possible that they detected low quality firmware with poor emulation (in short: free or leaked firmware)

Aside from all that, the banwave may also have been serversided, and Activision is taking advantage of this to boost its PR by saying it's a "DMA" detection.

There's no way to know the real reason behind the banwave, since they've supposedly started "detecting DMA" now, and DMA has a lot of ways to be exploited in terms of detections at first, so it could be any number of things. What can you do? Just take precautions: always buy from reputable sources and stay up to date on news from developers or reputable stores.

We're always keeping our customers informed about ACs updates and steps you can take to prepare for possible future ACs updates, from advising you to always keep your firmware up to date and avoid using free/leaked firmware, to addressing third-party issues like the MAKCU capacitor that was included in the first batches.

If you are interested in buying actual FWs hand coded by actual developers and not free/leaked firmware, check our EPVP thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] :)

And of course I understand why you attacking me, you still have to make money after all : )
You disappeared at one point and was removed because your shit was detected like my big hard erections, and yet now still have the audacity to post comments like you accomplished something- do you have no shame? Seriously get a life

Cause im still fine lol? I nevet came on here to spread macku dtc etc etc, i asked for advice for myself not to give proof of me being able to play? Loll

Stop pasting the same crap on every thread, a bit more originality would be appreciated

Is there a way to tell visually which one you have?

Alright, let me share my experience as well.

I started using DMA just 2 days ago. I purchased FTWDMA Custom Firmware for $60 and only played DMZ.

Tonight, I suddenly got kicked completely out of the game, and Battle.net was already showing "Account Banned." I received a permanent ban on that account.

After that, I switched to another account, played one casual match, finished it, and nothing happened.

Then I bought another account that already had MW4 on it. As soon as I logged in, I was greeted with a message saying that I had received an HWID ban.

Several mistakes made there. Shows you need to learn a lot more before cheating.

1. Never buy accounts, its highly bannable since 2025. U never know if someone cheated on it with DT externals a day before you bought.
2. After first permaban its time to permaspoof and replace Tpm chip.

If you don't know what i'm talking about, welp then u need to go read about permabans and spoofing in Cod.
DMA has nothing to do with your bans 99%>

Thanks for your reply! Do you have any advice on what I should do after replacing my PC components to resolve the HWID ban? Is there anything else I should check or be aware of before using my PC again? I’d really appreciate your advice.
