[Free Guide] Manually spoofing serials

Banning them would be retarded, they might have fixed it on the 40/50 series tho, that's maybe why EAC started to ban now.

AMD do not have any serials so, they won't be able to ban anything there

edit: would be still funny tho, they did that 2 years ago already and reverted it becasue people would just sell their GPU on second hand, and the new buyers get banned lmao. I really dont see this happening all over again
Even FaceIT/Valo only ban them in very very hard offenders/manuals.

My banned GPU is 4060 AsusTek, but ye I swapped GPU and my bans stopped and I am currently 150 hours playing with no issues

You have a friends/old PC that you could test the GPU in and test :P?
My guess is they only ban the GPU GUID for some time or use the GUID in cross-reference with the general setup.
Example:
GUID + Mobo Type/name = ban again, no matter what serials u change, it wouldn't bypass it.
The chances of a second hand buyer having the same mobo after buying your card is very very slim.

Welp or NVIDIA fixed the GUID issues and EAC has enough data now to see that and started to implement it again :P

sad thing is that I dont have another motherboard which is perm-spoofable, so I cant accurately test it.

But they might combine CPU and other stuff in ur PC to make a profile to not ****-over non cheating players if they do ban a re-used GPU.

but many people are not reselling GPU's anymore so I am not sure

People should take a look at this instead of buying perm spoofers if they can do it them self.

like how should i manually spoof if i have ram with serial, i have asus on intel and i want to spoof on rust hah?

+REP. Extremely useful guide. I was previously HWID banned; after swapping out an nvme m.2 ssd for a new, and following the guide, my ban has gone away.
Maybe I wasn't even banned in the first place and this comment is just a lie??? I guess we'll never know

This does seem more likely, than just outright banning the GUID. I have a customer who (to my knowledge) did everything correctly in terms of spoofing for Rust. However he's on a 40-series GPU & was also game banned.

Usually i wouldn't "relate" ARP to Rust in any way, but did anyone consider if they started messing with that? Imo it's one of the easiest things they could flag or ban, & most people won't even bother dealing with getting a new router or flashing OpenWRT to their current, to MAC change, set up a subnet etc.

ARP would be useless if the client device was on its own subnet away from every other devices. Would be a good way to catch cheaters who are too lazy to install openwrt or Pfsense(depending on the hardware) and configure the network.

Would it be possible to block the ARP requests that EAC send?

I think it would cause too many false bans if they started banning ARP.

ISP providers usually only rent routers, so the same router is likely to be shared between multiple homes.

Didn't do everything correct then. There is more to this than it was a few months ago.

There is no ARP query from EAC's side.

Agreed on the first part. That's why people do that to dodge flags from VGK, Faceit and in some cases FN. Hell i've been using it to dodge VGK's TPM enforcement combined with raid0 for like 2 years lol. Now they've obviously improved a lot, but when they first introduced the whole TPM stuff, it was as simple as spoofing, raid0, flash & arp change. 0 TPM/SB restrictions lol. Pretty sure it even still works to this day.

As for the latter, that's outside my experience range tbh. I have no clue if that's possible.

Good to know, didn't think so in the first place, but figured it was worth noting.

I've personally been banned on a completely new setup with nothing being the same, except my router. That was just around the time VGK introduced ARP flags.

Some AC's definitely flag/ban it, but it is fairly simple to bypass. As for the worry regarding ISP routers. I'd imagine it'd be much more accurate to grab the whole table & using that, vice versa just getting the routers mac.

ARP is not only routers, it could also be other devices on the same network in your house.

ETC, different computers, phones

I know, but it's also routers.
