Banned, new account died in 3 days, is it my hardware
Closed thread Closed by archivegot banned a while back, bought a new account, banned again in 3 days. same machine, same everything, didn't even install anything on the second account for the first day.
first one i assumed was the cheat, second one is making me think the PC is flagged. does a fast reban mean hardware or could it be something else

Replies are closed3 days on a clean account is a hardware signature almost every time. anti cheat reads your disk serials and SMBIOS strings, they survive a format.
it could also be a leftover install. did you wipe the old game files or just install over them
installed over, kept the old folders
that's part of it then. old loader folder sitting there with a build that was already detected.
both things are probably true. spoof the machine AND clean the install. doing one without the other is why people burn three accounts in a week.
formatting is not enough on its own either, people think it is and then get confused when the reban lands
is a windows reinstall needed or is a new user profile enough
profile is usually enough if you actually clean the game dirs, full reinstall if you've been banned more than twice on the same box
not going to buy a third account until both are done. spoofer first, reboot, then clean, then new account. right?
right order yes — matches the post-ban guide. and don't log the old account back in on that machine to check your stash, that trips people up constantly
