Does Black Ops 3 use IP or HWID ban?

[Silent]

Why spend many money for an old cod?

Some people still like to play old games.

I bought a new account last Sunday, and I played on it for 3 days, laying low and stuff. However I got banned yesterday, when I logged into Black Ops 3 without changing my MAC address. So my MAC address is actually bannable? I'm sure it wasn't the cheat's problem, since it has a few hundred more users who have no problem with it. Is there a way to change my MAC address permanently? (I bought my 7th Black Ops 3 account today for another 30USD)

It actually makes sense that they would ban the MAC address since it's hard-coded into a network card and can never be changed.

try reinstalling your OS, idk what system they use, but i'm 99% sure that you need hwid reset...

I changed my profile GUID and cyptograph key in the registry, changed my hard disk serial keys, changed my MAC address, forgot to change my laptop name (just realized, shit), changed my dynamic IP by turning off the router for 5 minutes.

But here's another question:
My main account 1 has Infinite Warfare and Black Ops 3(VAC banned). Since I wanted to play both Infinite warfare and BO3 on account 7, I used the family sharing library feature on steam. Would my ban on my main account, also be shared with account 7, which was not banned at the time?

If that account was banned as the main sharer, it would prevent you from using it on the other account. If you got banned of you other account you're sharing with; both your accounts will be banned from it

What an expensive mistake I've made, I've at least family shared with 3 of my banned accounts. Thanks for clearing it up, gonna buy account 8 soon

Account 8 got banned, I have no idea why. Bought account 9 today

I've been banned once for using cheats on Black Ops 3. So I bought another copy but I got banned without using cheats, with only 2 hours of playtime. I got banned once I logged into my steam account the other day, without opening the game. I thought it must have been the leftover files, so I cleaned the registry and changed my computer name for a fresh start.

I played for another few hours on another new account I bought 5 days ago, went to sleep, only to wake up log into steam and realize I had been banned. I was in disbelief.

I bought Black Ops 3 for the fourth time and I played for around 4 hours in the library. I went home, logged into my steam account and I got a ban notice.

It can't be a TAC ban since my K/D is always around 0.8, and my level is around 20, non prestige.

Tl;dr: What I need to know now is whether it is a HWID ban, which I really can't do anything about, or is it an IP ban which I can just change my IP.

u probly arent hwid banned, but maybe blacklisted, the anti cheat has somthing that screenshots youre screen every few sec or somthing like that, try finding a cheat that has screenshot cleaner

[bloopme]

The cheat does have a screenshot cleaner, which suddenly turns off the cheat sometimes. However it doesn't do that now, I wonder why. Currently reinstalling Windows which is taking 10 hours and still counting

[BrassBasset]

Say if reinstall work. I got ban many times and I want to try too

[bloopme]

Reinstalling Windows worked and I haven't been banned anymore

[BrassBasset]

Reinstalling Windows worked and I haven't been banned anymore

Good to know. I will reinstall windows too

[BrassBasset]

You formatted your HD or just reinstalled?

I deleted all my personal files and reinstalled, also changed my hard disk serial number, MAC address and laptop name just in case
