    3 questions about HWID bans

    This recent ban wave put me way past my third banned account -- Will I get HWID banned if I go back to my main, in which I've never cheated? Does the HWID ban also automatically apply a game ban? If so, how long do I have until I have to get my new PC?

    could be you that you don't have serial IDs (which is unlikely).....

    I don't find another explanation

    Each of your hardware has an unique identification number aka serial ID , some worded differently...

    Hardware's fingerprint.
    Observation: Some don't have that "id".

    I agree with the others, it seems like you are a lucky guy. To check if you have serial numbers or not, here are the commands:

    *A bunch of 0's or Default string means that the PC part can't be identified and therefore the devs can't ban it*

    *I don't really know if you can be banned by MAC address (the network identifier), get a WiFi adapter if you want to be 100% safe*


    Motherboard:
    Code:
    wmic baseboard get serialnumber
    HDD:
    Code:
    wmic diskdrive get Model,Manufacturer,serialnumber
    Network card:
    Code:
    wmic nic get MACAddress,Manufacturer
    RAM:
    Code:
    wmic memorychip get serialnumber
