Strike System

Have any of you actually been able to confirm or at least say it took (3) bans to get an HWID ban or have any of you been HWID banned the 2nd time?

If you've been HWID itd be nice to know how many times you were banned before you got an HWID ban.

I can confirm you that you get a hwid ban at 3 bans.
However there are exceptions:
For example let's say person A got manual banned and hwid banned for speedhacking on an alternate account in a free weekend.
Ussualy 3 bans mean a hwid ban, if you didn't hacked hardly only edited save file or ranks or hacked exclusives you won't be hwid banned only after your 3rd ban

I get it some people don't care, but don't push your luck if you value your main steam account, and you don't want your whole PC getting HWID banned, I will call it quits after 1 banned

Yes you should do that. Even if you manage to evade the hwid ban by buying another pc in the future you can get ban for ban evasion (if you was hwid banned) if you aren't hwid banned you cannot be called for ban evasion

Okay this is something new to me. I thought if you got a 1st ban then get a new acc and play again = ban evasion = offence?

It's ban evasion but they shouldn't know that you are ban evading

Depending on the severity you can be banned HWID first time... Although in most cases, the three strike system is relevant. Responding in a very polite and apologetic manner has also worked in some peoples cases.

It is said that changing the hard disk's mechanical code is OK.

Yeah, i got banned 3 times and i got HWID Banned, what i do now is play dbd with the eac bypass on a new account and i can't get banned because eac doesn't run
