PUBG has banned DMA for most users

Today, most DMA users received ban reports from PUBG, and DMA was broken. Today, I saw that most PUBG live broadcasts in China were banned by game developers during live broadcasts. This wave is aimed at global DMA cheating.
90% of DMA users have been banned in this wave!


Need some proof for this. I've bene hearing this a lot as of last night, no one seems to be able to support this claim or want to share any info when questions have been asked.

What FW were you using?
Have you changed firmware? If so how long has it been and from what to what?
Account level?
Have you used other solutions that are non-dma in the past? If so how long ago?
What's your KDA?
Region? Ranked or Normal?

Need answers to those first then we can see if its a result of stronger detection measures or an actual anticheat update.

Yes, I also use DMA. I come from China and my friends and some streamers have been banned in this wave! The reason why no one supports your statement is that they may not want to admit that their firmware has been tested. There have been many bans in the past two days.
However, I have stopped using DMA in the past six months and have been using personal products, proofcore， This is not an advertisement, I am just answering your question. DMA has become less secure, and almost all ACs are mastering how to detect DMA!
My firmware is $1200, you can find my proof of purchase in cyber amo!
I was not banned in this wave, I have already stopped using DMA!

Im not from China but got banned last night on 1 account. Got into 2nd account got banned also didn't play AT ALL . On 3rd I disconnected everything and just got temp ban 24hrs

But fk my luck. I came back to pubg after 5 years and got rekt with dma while it was ud all this time.

im not sure if it true, just all customers play fine with dma. Ranked still full in cheaters

They’re never going to get everyone! And yes I can confirm that ranked is still infested with cheaters. They probably targeted public FW that was easy to block and make bans

my boy is top 500 global and has over $5500 worth of skins on his account, using DMA for over a year, with a janky firmware (not public but also not great.. EAC blocks it, and ACE works for about 30 min before he has to reboot the games XD) and no perms..

edit: im on voice with him right now, and hes streaming his game.... its been 30 minutes and hes still fine lol, hes had the same firmware for 2 years


edit again: rofl right when i said that he got a 24 hour ban

Regarding the permanent bans

I've conducted several hours of testing to identify the root cause of the issue.

I confirmed that my custom firmware—which includes proper TLP and BAR support and uses interrupts—is getting flagged during the recent banwave. Interestingly, the same firmware triggers bans on Intel systems but runs without issue on AMD.

Here’s a summary of my test results:

After a full system reinstall, running a spoofer and launching a new PUBG account with the DMA card installed, I received a 100-year ban after standing idle in the lobby for just 15 minutes.

I then disabled VT-d and Virtualization in the BIOS, reinstalled everything, ran the spoofer, and used a new PUBG account. This time, I was able to play two full matches (around 60 minutes total) without any issues.

Re-enabling VT-d and Virtualization resulted in another ban within 15 minutes.

Disabling both settings again allowed me to play normally without bans.


Conclusion:

Enabling VT-d and Virtualization appears to directly contribute to triggering bans when using DMA, at least on Intel systems. Disabling both allows for normal gameplay without detection.

Friends on AMD with same FW still fine, i got banned on i9 14900k. VTD on, virtualization ON and SC boot ON. Seems like some issue with Intel atp.

i didnt had a ban.. but after 90 minutes in lobby i got hit again with perm.

so above text from me aint the solution!

its support btw ; ) Discord Username: heroinovic

Back to Proofcore.

its all about vt-d not about fw and seems only effect intel rip

What do you mean? Dma-king said he tested with on and off?

Can you explain what you meant?

On topic: so what do you guys recommend i mean im pretty positive my fw is good. When I removed the cheat completly including kmbkxnet I only got 24h ban and I can play no issues.

I noticed I turned off the cheat(using nightfall) but logo was on kmblxnet and I still got banned. Could it be because of it or that doesn't change the fact once the cheat is injected it doesn't matter if only logo on kmboxnet was showing and cheat was "off"

upon additional testing, vt-d and virtualization being off doesn't work with NON EMULATED DRIVER SUPPORTED firmwares.... janky firmwares will STILL suffer 24 hour bans regardless of PC BIOS settings...
