DMA Banned?

10/19/2026 11:11 Sero7k#1
Hey, I'm not really sure what to do at this point, so I'm looking for some advice.

I've been cheating on COD for a while and managed to avoid the ban waves. I was using Advance before, and since I already had a DMA setup, I decided to switch over. Everything was fine for about a week, but then I got banned.

I put my DMA card into my old PC to test it, and I ended up getting banned after 3 days again. I'm using VGK firmware, so I honestly don't know what's causing it. I've since upgraded my PC, and I want to figure out what's going on rather than just getting banned again.

My current setup is an i9 14900K, RX 9070 XT, 32 GB RAM, and a new 1 TB SSD. My previous PC was Ryzen based.

My DMA setup consists of a 75T Cap card, Godlike V9, and a Macku.

Does anyone have any legitimate troubleshooting advice on what might be causing the repeated bans, or how I can work out whether the bans are related to the account, the hardware, or something else? I haven't installed my old ssd's but if i format the drives are they safe to put back in?

May you have installed some driver on your gaming pc while setting up for dma ? It’s a common error and caused delayed bans

Well you wrote 1 Week and 4 days thats not alot and as I said, bans are delayed afaik if there is a driver detection. Most people install FTDI D3XX driver or ftd3xx.dll libs on gaming pc and get flagged

I'm a little confused. If you received a permanent ban on Call of Duty, you were almost certainly HWID banned. From my experience, as someone who's been banned on Call of Duty countless times before going DMA, once you get permanently banned, your HWID is cooked.

In my experience, after a permanent ban, new accounts on the same PC will almost instantly get shadowed and eventually permanently banned again. Your scenario sounds very characteristic of a HWID ban, in which case using DMA isn't going to save you. You'll just continue getting your accounts banned until you either get a new PC or figure out how to circumvent the HWID ban (would not recommend a spoofer; I've never found one that actually worked and many are detected).

If you received the "You have been permanently banned" message on multiple accounts on the same machine, that machine is almost certainly HWID banned.

As far as I know, CoD still hasn't implemented DMA protection, so I highly doubt that's the reason for your ban.

Also, I don't know if this needs to be said, but I'll say it anyway. DMA is not a foolproof method of avoiding bans/detections. I know a lot of uninformed people think it's possible to blatantly rage with DMA because the software isn't running on the game PC, but with the innovations in anticheats and their pivot to AI, they can still catch you cheating by monitoring your behavior and aim mechanics. If you're using aimbot, for example, and your aim is flagged as being inhuman, you can still get banned even if the anticheat doesn't actually "detect" any cheating software.

But based on the limited information I have about your experience, it strongly suggests you've been HWID banned.

You were permanently banned multiple times and you think you weren't HWID banned? Why?

Bro that is bull shit, i mean, idk about free fw since i have always been against it despite people here saying it is fine, on my providerīs discord there are always ban reports but that is from people abusing cheats on ranked most likely, i play everyday on a ranked restricted acc and even that one does not get banned, i play regular MP and warzone no issues, so that about not being save atm is BS for sure.
Regarding the aim device i am on Xim+controller+macku and have been like this always and never had an issue, ferrum people spreading stuff just to make you buy a 150$ device that is clearly not needed for CoD, talking exclusively for CoD and not any other game.
You have to consider other things like getting accounts from market places like PA, ED, G2., any acc i ever got from those places ended banned, all of them accounts use unlock tools on them, thay are all compromised for sure.
There are places in which you can buy legit aged accs, mostly discord channels but they ainīt cheap.
