How does EAC decide what PC to HWID ban?

Interesting idea, I think u need to accept the eula everytime you install, so even if accepted it on another pc, u have accept it on ur main pc aswell in order to play. That's my knowledge so far. Maybe by transferring the installed data to hdd could trick it. Just some ideas to share, would be awesome if this actually works

Yeah, I’m not sure if you have to accept the EULA on every PC you play the account on or if you only accept it once. Maybe if you have accepted the EULA for the game just on a different account before, then you don’t have to again on your main pc. I can test it out to see the next time it goes on sale. If that works it would be such a nice loophole

Another idea: accepting the eula on pc1, replace the hdd from pc2 with hdd from pc1

this could all simply be worked around. you just download dbd on a main account and skip the eula and just close the game then sign out of the steam. then on the other pc download the game, accept the eula, then just sign back in on the main pc and you should be good to go.

You know this works? Is this a loophole for avoiding getting HWID banned on your main PC?

I highly doubt EAC stores only your HDD ID. That would be dumb :/

I was wondering how they handle it if u buy a competent from someone who is banned (and don't know it). It's a high gamble not to buy pc components fresh new

This is a very interesting concept, and doesn't sound too wrong, but I doubt that this is truly the case. However, from my experience of getting banned on DBD, but also playing on two different computers, I have not yet been HWID banned that I know of.
Here is my story.
I live at two houses, each with a custom computer I built, so obviously I play on both. Now, I have collected 4 or 5 bans at this point, but have never been HWID banned. How? I don't really know. I can just say this; after 4 bans (or 3, I cannot remember), I switched both the CPU and Motherboard on both of my PCs (I wanted to upgrade, this was not to evade the HWID ban). I have since gotten my 5th/4th ban on DBD (which will be my last as I will not be cheating in items anymore for my accounts :/ [still have my main which is completely legit]). But still, I have never gotten an HWID ban.
This leads me to think that the computer that receives the ban might just be that last computer you played with the account on, but I have no solid proof of this either. I cannot remember which computer I played on the last time for any of my banned accounts.
All I know is that I made at least 3 of the banned accounts on one computer, all of which are now banned. So theoretically, I should have a HWID on that computer, yes? Well I don't.
That's my story, Cheers!
Oh and for a bit more information, none of the computers are related to each other in any way. Different IP, different ISP, different components (duh), not linked with Microsoft account or anything.
It hurts me when people say "Your third ban is HWID" because it isn't "your" third ban, it is only your "computer's" third ban. As you can see from my example, "my" 4th/5th bans have not given me HWID bans.
Be careful out in the fog!

Hmm. I heard it is on what computer you accept the EULA. Next time I make an account I cheat on, ill accept the EULA on a different computer. Obviously, if I get banned on that new account I won't be able to tell if it added a ban to my main pc or the other computer (unless I get HWID banned on either computer which is unlikely). I wish we could know how EAC decides which PC to ban.

I was hwid banned after my third banned and changed motherboard and ssd fixed it for me

It should be more than hard disk because I tried to replace the new SSD, which is still banned.

You can not play if you do not accept the EULA of the game, and also previously the license agreement that appears before starting the game within Steam.

Coupled with this, you can be banned from the game even without ever having opened it. Simply by Ban Evasion. And this does Steam. (example: When Ban to one of your family share accounts, you can automatically ban the account that lent the game, even if it is on another computer and has never accepted the EULA).

A HWID is just a long string that identifies your exact computer with your exact hardware. Changing an SSD will also change the HWID since there is a new part.
