Understanding HWID ban/ shadow bans

12/08/2020 11:19 slickricky#1
Hey guys I would like to understand from people who have been in this situation before;
Last week i was permanent banned from my main account, and shadow banned straight away in my new account i created from a totally new email/ph number etc

Now with a HWID ban, how long will this last?
Do i actually need to change any component ID's or can i wait 14 days and start playing on my new account without any issues from the HWID's
OR after 14 days will i still run into problems with my new account because of my HWID's

Theres alot of forums on this topic however the information itsnt clear, i understand spoofers work to some point but I dont want to run a spoofer everytime i play.

thanks in advance

After a permanent ban, all new accounts will be shadowed for 7-14 days UNTIL the shadowban expires.

You can either wait this out yourself, or you can purchase a spoofer to play with until it (shadowban) expires.

If you don’t go with the spoofer route, I highly recommend reinstalling windows as new to clear out any tracers, before cheating again.

I initially thought if I get HWID ban I would never be able to play MW2019 again, now I realized I wasted money buying new PC, lmao, wish I had consulted you earlier

:lul:

After you told me you were getting a new PC in like a month, I thought that was a bit drastic, but figured you needed an upgrade or something.

I did need to get new intel processor originally for Ring-1, but now i guess i just wasted money to get 3060Ti lmao, hopefully next January INFINITE still works without detection, same as Aimex

It will. Egor works very hard to ensure INFINITE is secure and will always continue support for Modern Warfare/Warzone. As for Aimex as well.

Not to hijack thread but when i used infinite for a day it gave me this windows error "user profile unable to login" and had to reinstall windows so after that i never touched infinite spoofer again. Do you know why?

That is typically an issue with Windows Defender or other AV trying to scan a file it believes to be an threat (like a spoofer) simultaneously, while trying to enable a spoof.

Turning off all anti-virus software and Windows defender, diabling fast boot, what else?

That's it. Secure boot should be off by default, so you shouldn't actually have to disable it.

So, not HWID banned but HWID flagged.

Either wait 7-14 days OR buy a spoofer for a month.

Hey, I'm fairly new here, and I don't really understand the concept of HWID Ban. You mean that if I cheat on MW main account, with a spoofer, and I get banned (for being too obvious for exemple), spoofing again my HWID will unban my main account?

Also, if I don't use any spoofer at all, and got banned, buying a new account will get me shadow banned for 14 days and that's all? I could play again on another account?

Nothing will unban your account. Bans are final.

The purpose of a spoofer is to protect your computer against Activision so that IF you are banned, Activision doesn’t know your real HWID and therefore can not block you from playing the game.

If you don’t use a spoofer and you are HWID banned (which is rare), you will be unable to play the game unless you buy new PC parts or you spoof.

After you are permanently banned, every account you make after will be shadowbanned for 7-14 days. Once the shadowban expires after 7-14 days, you can make new accounts without any problems.

If you buy a new account immediately after being permanently banned, it too will be shadowbanned for 7-14 days.

Can you log into your accounts and try run a game during this 2 week shadow ban to check the status? or will this continue to add more time to the shadow ban?
