If this immediately occurs on other accounts too after playing the tutorial (that's what happened to me).

If you don't have this notification and you can still queue with 350ms lobbies - well in that case you're shadowed.

You can also be permanently banned, and make a bew account get shadow banned and after 2 weeks it's good. What i understand is the hwid bans are not forever obky for a couple of weeks

Wait 7-14 days for it to expire. You'll be fine.

Either wait 7-14 days OR buy a spoofer for a month.

Dude, may I ask what spoofer you recommend? I am planning to get x22 emerald subscription for CoD Warzone, I notice that x22 doesn't integrate spoofer, What shold I do?

Okay before i start, take note that im french so my english is not on point.
Ive read all the answer above and i found some case similar as mine and btw big thx to the dude whos been answering everybody, what ive learned from this is that shadowbans are not forever if you dont cheat and that hwid bans give you a straight up perm ban when loading the game after creating a new account not shadowbans (shadowbans can still turn to perm but wtv). Lemme explain my case in detail to you and i hope to get your opinion on this; so basically, i got a main account on wz/cold war, got perm banned for using cheat(temptation was too hard). But i didnt rage hck on this account i was very subtle(i dont know if thats the correct word in english) but it wasnt obvious that inwas cheating. I was on the ban wave on february 2th, since then im perm ban on my main and every account i create after that is shadow banned, its been now 7 day and still shadowbanned. Whats strange tho is that i can still play cold war on my same warzone perm ban account i got the same level same **** everything literally same account. But its impossible for me to create others account on wz whitout being shadowbanned str8 up. (Hack i was using was Engine Owning btw) Am i HWID banned?

If you are able to create a new account and play on a shadowbanned server then you are not HWID banned. Just flagged. Your main account in perma banned and gone forever. Your new accounts will remain shadow banned for up to 14 days.

HWID banned (which is rare) means you are unable to even launch warzone with a new account. In this case you need new hardware or a spoofer.

Being able to play cold war on your banned account seems to happen sometimes. Others get banned from both games using that account.

Okay i guess ill wait another 7 day to really see what happen, im not planning on hacking ever again so i should be alright, thank you for your time really

So I got shadowbanned on the 20th of Jan on my main, I switched to my ALT, after a few days my main was perm banned, I go to my alt play for a day or so and then when I tried to log back in this was also perm banned.

I've made multiple other accounts and they have all been shadowbanned after 1 game, none have been perm banned.

But its been over 2 weeks since I got banned and I'm still shadow banned on all the other accounts I have made.

I'm wondering if I got banned first from reports and then perm banned but my whole PC was flagged from having EO when the ban wave came out and I've now got to restart the whole process.

Is there anyway how I can find out whats happening? Whether I am completely HWID banned and need a new mobo and SSD or if Im just shadow banned for a 2nd time?

I've tried using the aimex spoofer but the game doesn't work properly with it, I constantly get 2 errors.

my fear is that shadowbanned will never finish

This means you're HWID banned and you'll require a Spoofer to play COD.

This could happen mate, but there are workarounds to still be able to play.

I thought a HWID ban was when every account you make gets perm banned? Is there anyway I can confirm?

If it is a HWID ban, will this last forever? What is the permanent fix over a spoofer? New Mobo and SSD?

Thats correct, but it has been written that 2 weeks have past already and yet his ban hasn't been revoked. It will most likely turn into a HWID ban.

A HWID ban will last forever. You can change hardware in your PC, but if you forget something they are tracking for the ban, you are ****** mate.

Get a new PC, fresh account and don't use cheetos. This is the safest way I can tell. You'll get notified over a perm ban via Battle.net launcher. A notification will also pop up when you launch the game.
