HWID, solution?
Could someone figure out how to reset HWID, effectively.
This file or key somewhere on this HD.
It seems that they use your primary HDD HWID to ban you, so the only way to change it is to change your HDD.
It's actually more than just your HWID. When you change your HDD HWID the launcher will be refresh and ask you to accept the terms of agreement; this is a positive first sign. Unfortunately this is only the first step. I believe there are 3 steps to fix the perma ban:
1. Change your HDD HWID both for your primary and any supporting drive ID's.
2. Change your static and volume ID for your primary and supporting drives.
3. Spoof punkbuster with a timeout before trying to join the server.
With the combination of all 3 I believe but am not entirely positive that this will solve the permanent ban.
