Hey bro.

What is the difference between cleaner and spoofer? I thought they were the same.

Spoofer is temporary hwid change that returns back to your original hwid when your PC restarts, cleaner is supposed to be a permanent solution for HWID bans, changes your HWID permanently and your can play again without needing a spoofer, although cleaners don't work for everyone.

PS: anyone who has been banned on a main and has made purchases through PayPal you can claim them all back.

How do you go about resetting IP? Call them?

Reset your modem, if you have a dynamic IP it'll give you a new one. If you have static IP, call your ISP and tell them to give a new one.

I got perm banned and HWID banned for making modded regiments around 3 months ago. Just went on a new account without spoofer and im still HWID banned and im worried i wont beable to play when the anti cheat comes out(even with spoofer). so i have a few questions.

1. Are HWID bans perm? if not how long can this stuff last because mines been 3 months and im still ******.
2. What PC components do I have to change in my pc to get rid of the ban
3. Do we think spoofers will be working when the game gets release or am i ******

thanks for any help, much appreciated!

So i might have gotten ****** by Activision or something, i got hardware banned some time back, after wanting to play legit, i replaced my Mobo and all my ssd's, and did a raid 0 on my ssds as well. I have been playing fine for close to 2 months, up until yesterday, i opened battle and it shows i was permanently banned, it was a brand new account made after i replaced components, new email and new number (i did pay to max my guns though). I made a new account with another email and number and played a game, i got about 15 legit kills, had a spectator almost the whole game, after i finished the first game, i tried to do another match and i was shadow banned, checked again today and still shadow banned, WTF. Does changing components actually fix the hwid ban?

hard unlock obsidian and DMU. It was done via console, had to link my cod account to a console, it wasn't done on PC, might be right though, my PC is obviously flagged if i created a whole new account and got shadow banned after the first game though.

It does, but unlike most games, Activision randomizes the components they ban. So, it could be only a mobo, or it could be a mobo, gpu, and drives. It's different for everyone.

I don't see a point in replacing a mobo only to risk it being banned as well and losing out on your money (unless you have a spare). If changing components is something you're willing to do, I would change all of them, or buy a spoofer and wait out for the HWID ban to expire. Ultimately, it's less money than buying an entirely new PC.

The purpose of a spoofer is to protect your computer against Activision so that IF you are banned, Activision doesn’t know your real HWID and therefore can not block you from playing the game.

If you don’t use a spoofer and you are HWID banned (which is rare), you will be unable to play the game unless you buy new PC parts or you spoof.

After you are permanently banned, every account you make after will be shadowbanned for 7-14 days. Once the shadowban expires after 7-14 days, you can make new accounts without any problems.

If you buy a new account immediately after being permanently banned, it too will be shadowbanned for 7-14 days.

i think im HWiD banned on warzone for cheating i made a new account, changed my PC name, ran a Tracers thing, and changed my ip an got to run 1 match on the new Pacifica map an was instant shadow banned after, but i dont plan on cheating no more and i kno i wont be able to use the same account... i just need someone's help on sum info for changing my Hardware iD

I have a question about the HWID ban in Warzone.
For example, if you are HWID banned in Valorant, after 90 days the HWID ban will be lifted and you will be able to create a new account on the same PC and play without spoofing or using cleaners.
Does Warzone have a time limit on HWID BANs like Valorant does? Or is it literally permanently unplayable?

Hello.
I have a question that I don't know the answer to.
I got HWID Ban on the main account (permanent BAN). I tried to set up new accounts and everything was blocked. I let it go for almost a year. Yesterday I bought a brand new computer. I tried to play Warzone again. I set up a new account (I did not log in to any of the old ones) and unfortunately the account was suspended immediately. I did not change the monitor, mouse or keyboard. What went wrong?

So what happens if I logged into old accounts, got shadowbans after first match, then created a completely fresh/valid/non botted battlenet with a working phone #, completely new account...and that was shadowbanned after one match as well...and this is playing with nothing injected and nothing in general.

If you get shadowbanned after every first match but not permabanned what's going on? One account I actually checked the status of right before using it - said it was fine - I used it for one match - boom shadowban - then when I looked it up it said there was a ban in effect for WZ/MW on the status page.

If these don't turn into permabans how do I stop this from happening?

Or am I just HWID banned and this is it?
