I see that many of us are getting — or have already gotten — banned. I’d like to start a thread on this issue so each of us can write down what caused the ban, what to do after being banned, and, if it’s an HWID ban, what your experiences with that are.
From what I know, Javelin ties HWID bans to GPU; IP bans aren’t common and Javelin doesn’t use them either.
It’s a very aggressive anti-cheat running at kernel level, and many people believe that only DMA is a possible bypass. I also encourage following the @[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] thread to track the list and avoid getting scammed. If any of you have information about the anti-cheat or HWID bans, please share!

Bans can be delayed by up to 3–4 days after detection, including HWID bans. Note that HWID bans are issued by EA, not by Steam — even if you purchased the game on Steam it still runs through EA, so a hardware ban can affect accounts on both platforms. If you’re banned, you can try playing on a new account; within roughly a week you’ll know whether a HWID ban has propagated
