Hey boys,

i got banned a couple days ago with Code 229, no clue what it means..
I have no cheats on my pc, but im pretty positive that my boosters used cheats and thats how i got banned.

Im confused now with what to do, to be able to play again.

How can i check if im Launcher or Hardware banned?

Appreciate your help and have a nice rest of the weekend.

If you did not use any cheats on your PC and you gave your account away for boosting, yes, they cheated on your account.

Yeah i think thats clear.

Could you eventually tell me how to make sure that im not launcher or hardware banned?

Is the only option like buying an account and trying to log in?

229 is a manual or cheat detection ban

i dont think hwid bans are as common as people fear, im one of the most blatant rage cheaters you'll meet, for example 15 accounts this wipe alone... still not hwid banned and i dont spoof

I would say they most likely used a cheat on ur account :(

Error code 229 means permanent banned because of cheating , If you want to check if you are HWID banned or not, just buy new account non EOD version, don't buy it for resellers or any 3rd party website in my opinion to be sure that the account is fresh and no one use cheats with it.
then test for 1-2 weeks if there is no ban then you should be fine, and you can upgrade your account to EOD and enjoy xD

I agree. I got banned on 4 different accounts in the span of two weeks and I only cleared traces once. Still not launcher or hwid banned. Seems pretty rare for them to actually do those two things.

Its not that rare, its just random. Some people dont get hwid banned after 40+ bans some get after their first

Launcher bans are rare tho

229 is a manual ban, boosting provider most likely cheated on your account.
