HWID warning without being banned

08/22/2026 16:34 DetectMe#1
So i've been using a TPM chip for quite some time now with no issues.

Yesterday while playing the MW4 beta, after a couple of hours I restarted my PC and I got HWID warning. None of my accounts were banned I checked all of them.

Saw some people facing the same issue, anyone know about anything or how to fix?

Shadow bans are HWID enforced now, at least that's what it seems like. So if you get shadow banned on one account, any other account will have a HWID Ban message with a QR code when you launch, but no ban on the website or anything.

I doubt it's going to stay like this for the full release. Probably just a way to prevent ragers from swapping to other accounts in the beta?

I am shadowed on main and can play normally on an alt that is also aged, never got that message, perhaps only on new accs?

I also have the HWID banned screen and I use a dTPM chip. Been working fine up until now. But I also have two accounts currently shadowed so like the guy said above. The HWID banned screen might be linked to shadow bans idk. I just ordered another dTPM chip to see if I can bypass that screen. Hopefully someone has a work around that doesn't include using shitty spoofers.

Please help!

I highly HIGHLY doubt it considering there's people here that don't use a dTPM chip getting the same HWID warning message.

Interesting, personally I'm not shadow banned so I genuinely can't test what this theory is about. I just saw it being posted on the Blurred discord that if you get one shadow ban in MW4 beta, all accs get a HWID ban message.
Are you shadow banned in MW4 on that acc, or is it on BO7?

I had 2 accounts shadowed before the latest Warzone update. I updated, played fine that night. Next day I get out of work and get that HWID message.

I am experiencing the exact same phenomenon.

But you on DMA? Once you get that message, you can’t access the game any more ??

I personally know of DMA people also having this issue after getting shadow banned in the beta now too, so its not just 1-PC cheaters.
