!!STOP HACKING BF3! HACKERS ARE NOW BANNED VIA GUID!!

[fapdarklord]

 

PunkBuster(TM) now computes Hardware GUIDs for various pieces of hardware on players systems while playing on PunkBuster(TM) servers. We use multiple private one-way hashes so that no serial number information for individual computers can be determined by admins or anyone else who may try to obtain this information from a Hardware GUID (and as always, no personal information of any kind is examined, stored or transmitted by PunkBuster(TM)). When players raise a violation that corresponds to hacking or interfering with PunkBuster(TM) normal operation, we now (in addition to Global PB GUID bans) are Globally banning the new Hardware GUIDs across all games supported by PunkBuster(TM) (including games supported in the future). So punks who are determined to cheat so badly on PB-enabled servers that they try to hack PunkBuster(TM) may now need a new computer in addition to a new cdkey in order to return to PunkBuster(TM) servers. As with previous PB GUID Global bans, the new Hardware GUID bans are permanent and will not be lifted. As always, players who are affected by these Global bans will still be able to play on non-PB servers. Honest users should never "test" hacks that claim to interfere with PunkBuster(TM). We have successfully tested this new feature set over the past few weeks for a few supported games and will be rolling it out to all supported games over the next few days and weeks. Additionally, PunkBuster(TM) servers will be updated to signify whether kicks for Global bans are for PB GUIDs or the new Hardware GUIDs.

Basically, PB is now banning computer GUID's (Computer ID's) from their servers, so you have to buy a new computer aswell as new game to play again.

Just a heads up for people who've bought the game multiple times, and are planning on buying it again.

Lol, you don't need to buy a new computer.. Just change something in the hardware :P
*This is incredibly easy to get around if you built your own

[Paralyze]

Weren't they banning on GUID's before?

[Crazydude5]

Hmm sad.... is it possible to change your GUID without buying new hardware??

[serega3112]

yes you can change everything to help you CCtools deal with it : Rolleyes:

[Paralyze]

This is one of the reasons I recommend playing on NON-punkbuster enabled servers.

This is just bullshit.

[_enemy]

This is just bullshit.

Yeah its not very likely...

[dessers]

Yep I call bullshit on this1 aswell

[tom0101]

Yeah, why should they ban something of the Hardware? they don´t get money if someone buy a new PC. If banned people buy a new game they get more money and that´s what they want i think, so yeah i also think --> BULLSHIT

[sarsukatel]

Nope nothing happend if u use this trick Temporary shutdown PunkBuster. even i use Cheat Engine hacks without any problem but esp not work

then they cannt do anythin

[feder1]

But you can change the license and got unbaned? sry im retarded...
