Am I HWID?

So about 2 years ago when i very first decided to cheese, I was able to do it for about 2 1/2 months before getting banned. I was HWID banned because every time I made another account it would insta me, but still send email saying I was banned. Well, just a couple weeks ago I got banned again (new PC since last time btw) and decided to try another account to see if I was HWID. As expected, I was. But this time instead of being insta'ed, immediately trying to sign in to the launcher, I was informed my account was blocked. Tried another account, same thing. The thing that's confusing me though is, in the past even if I was HWID I would always get an email saying my account was blocked, but now I do not. Is this supposed to happen or is my launcher just fucked up? I ask because I've been told that email=automatic ban, no= manual ban. I just need some clarification and advice on going forward if I am 100% HWID.

Sounds like a HWID and a launcher ban as well. HWID is when you can get into the game, play a few raids or a few hours and then get banned (with an email). Manual bans will sometimes come with an email now as well, but I don't think that's at play since this is instantly happening at the launcher, hence why I think it's a launcher ban.

Are you uninstalling with Revo each time you get banned? I wrote a thread on how to go about getting around HWID bans (will apply to launcher bans as well) here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Yes i am uninstalling with Revo. Regarding your help with HWID bans, at the time of my first ban on new PC I had/have an 1TB HDD and a 250GB SSD (which windows is installed on), will i need to replace both of them to be able to use the methods you provided? Specifically Raid0?

I take it you kept the drives then, and swapped them to new pc? If so they will both need to be replaced, assuming both were plugged in at the same of the ban.

Raid0 works if the drives are the same size, which is not the case here

you really need to buy a new ssd to avoid the BattlEye HWID Ban,
for the BSG HWID Ban its enough to install new windows on same system.

No, no. Lemme explain better. New PC = everything new, including drives. But i recently decided to get back into tarkov and then once i got back into tarkov i decided to cheese, too. First account since new PC, first ban since new PC. Also i think its worth saying that since this morning i also decided to try and make a new account (without buying game) and i was able to enter the BSG launcher without being told my account is blocked.

If you're able to sign in to the launcher and hit play, then you're not launcher banned. But if you are getting an email ban after a few hours of playing, then its a HWID ban from BattlEye.

Sorry i hate to be so bothersome, but i thought since i it didnt block my account immediately that id buy another key and try to play again, but once i downloaded the game it blocked my account. So i dont know. Im just gonna save money to test your methods. Right now i am able to sign in to the launcher (game not purchased) just fine. Sign out and back in no issue. But if i buy a key then download it will block me before even launching the game.

By block, is it giving you a specific error code? For example Error 229 - Profile is banned?

Also, are you trying to access a Russia account for NA? This could cause it to be blocked - and you'll need a VPN when you login.

Yes i get error 229- Profile is banned. I did get the error with an RU account but i also got it with EU accounts before the RU one. Like i said it seems it only bans me when the game is purchased because i am sitting in the launcher right now with no issue without the game being purchased.

I'd try a full Windows Reformat + using a spoofer. Also try using a different payment method as well.
