If you are using a completely new PC with all new hardware, new IP (new location), and completely new account, you should be fine. They would have nothing to link to your old account assume all of the old hardware has never been associated with the new account before.

I should specify I mean I'd use my main still. I have way too many games in there to give that up for DbD.

I just want to know if I can use both my main and my alt on a completely different PC and location (country).

I log into my banned accounts a few times, the automatic ban was not on the new after a few hours of play, even after a few weeks, but I was recently banned, I'm trying to find out the reason. The DbD support says that this is an automatic ban (if there was a hwid ban they would be informed) and they say to contact EAC for a correct answer. But I can be wrong, so let's listen to what others will say

Not sure if this is bypassable anyways

HWID ban is bypassable yes. Well, the HWID ban part. You still need a new account.

Yeah if you’re HWID banned, I would not risk opening your main account through steam at all in that PC/laptop, as it might trigger a banned in your main account, I’ve read so much comments, and I know a player who got banned 4 times in 4 different new steam accounts same PC, I’m 100% sure it's due to HWID.

If you don't open the game you won't be banned on your main

There's no guarantee you'll be safe from being banned thereafter, but if you avoid logging into your banned accounts and your main isn't banned (and you followed my advice about using a throwaway to test), BHVR won't have any logs leading to someone who was previously banned and they're very unlikely to check them out.
Yeah by "not getting banned anymore" I meant removing the HWID ban.

Do you want to know what happened on my main? I did like you reccomended me: created a new steam account, bought dbd (I bought a cd key from a website), activated it, played one match. I got banned (and I was like, ok, I was expecting it). Thing is... then I log into my main account and boom, I'm banned there as well. Without even opening the fucking game.. I'm triggered as fuck bro..

I've read also some other people getting banned when opening there main steam account not even running dbd cos of HWID?
