Seeing a "You have been banned" message in Dead by Daylight is frustrating enough. But when you find out it's not just your account that's blocked, but your entire PC’s hardware is blacklisted, it can feel like your gaming days are over. You’ve run into an HWID (Hardware ID) ban, and now you’re searching for a solid way to bypass it and jump back into Dead by Daylight.

Good news—you’ve landed in the right spot.

This is the guide you really need. Stop wasting time on pointless appeals or shelling out for new PC parts. We’ll walk you through the exact, step-by-step method to fix your HWID ban and get you playing again fast.

We’ll focus on the how, using the industry's most trusted and undetectable solution: Sync Spoofer. Here you’ll get a full breakdown of each step, avoid common pitfalls, and pick up key habits that'll help you stay unbanned on DbD for good.

Guide to Fix Your Dead by Daylight HWID Ban

This isn’t just a checklist—it’s a thorough walkthrough to get around hardware bans in Dead by Daylight. Stick to these steps carefully, and you’ll have your best shot at a clean and lasting bypass.

Step 1: Pick the Right Spoofer (Sync Spoofer)

First off, choosing a trustworthy spoofer is absolutely key. Free or cracked spoofers floating around public forums are often riddled with malware or already caught by Easy Anti-Cheat. Using those? You’re just speeding up your next ban.

Sync Spoofer is a premium, professionally built tool. We even offer a free 1-day trial so you can see it working on your setup before deciding. There are two main types of solutions to pick from:

  • Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): The Flexible Option
    • Who it’s for: Perfect for gamers who want flexibility. Maybe you try different software, play on various accounts, or can’t afford downtime or data loss from reinstalling Windows.
    • How it works: You run it before launching Dead by Daylight. It masks your hardware IDs temporarily. When you restart your PC, everything goes back to normal. It’s safe, reversible, and hassle-free.
  • Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The "Set it and Forget it" Fix
    • Who it’s for: This is for players who got banned (fairly or not) and want a permanent fresh start to play clean again.
    • How it works: This type integrates deeply with your system and alters your hardware IDs for good. It involves a one-time Windows reinstall during setup to clear any traces. After that, your PC looks like a completely new device to anti-cheat.

Step 2: Join the Community & Access Your Files

After your payment goes through, you’ll instantly get an invite to our private Discord server. This isn’t just a download spot—it’s your support hub. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Instant Access: License keys and fresh software downloads available 24/7.
  • Complete Guides: Clear, step-by-step written and video tutorials walking you through every bit. For deeper insights, you might want to check our posts on Dead by Daylight Hardware ID Ban and HWID Ban Fixer Guide.
  • Expert Support: Our team is on call around the clock, with thousands of successful users helped. Stuck? We’re here.

Step 3: Clean Your PC & Spoof Your Hardware

This is the crucial tech part, and Sync Spoofer makes the tough stuff automatic. Here’s how it breaks down:

  1. Stage A: Deep Clean: You’ve got to remove every hint of your previous ban. Think of it like wiping the chalkboard clean. Dead by Daylight’s anti-cheat leaves hidden “fingerprints” — logs, registry keys, tracking data. Our cleaner handles all of this so there’s zero connection to your past. Learn more about cleaning methods in our HWID Cleaner Reset Bypass Bans guide.
  2. Stage B: Spoofing: Once clean, the spoofer kicks in, creating a new, legit digital identity for your hardware like motherboard, drives, MAC address, and peripherals. It’s like making your PC invisible—Dead by Daylight will never recognize you again. To understand how spoofers work, visit What is an HWID Changer.

Step 4: Make a Brand-New Game Account

Your hardware’s clear, but your old Dead by Daylight account is banned. Logging into it will instantly raise flags. You need a fresh identity.

Tips for your new account:

  • Use a brand-new email. Don’t reuse any linked to bans.
  • Choose a new, unrelated username.
  • Important: Avoid connecting the new account to any old payment methods, phone numbers, or linked platforms (like Twitch or Xbox). Anti-cheat systems cross-check these to catch ban evaders.

Step 5: Final Check & Launch!

You’re almost ready. Follow this last checklist before hopping in:

  • Restart your PC once after cleaning and spoofing.
  • If you use Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s running.
  • Launch your Dead by Daylight client and log into your new account.
  • Download and start playing.

And just like that—you’re back in the game. Your old HWID ban? History.

After Getting Unbanned: How to Stay Safe Long-Term

Getting back in is just the first step. Staying off ban lists is the real challenge. Sync Spoofer hides your hardware, but your online behavior and digital habits truly keep you hidden over time. The smart moves below add layers of safety that make it very hard for anti-cheat to trap you again.

1. Keep Your Gaming Profiles Separate

This is a must. Treat your "clean" account and any other risky or test accounts like they’re in different worlds. Anti-cheat systems hunt for connections.

  • Separate everything: Don’t reuse email addresses, payment details, phone numbers, or social media accounts between your banned and new accounts. Dead by Daylight’s system cross-links this data.
  • Use distinct browsers or profiles: For example, stick to Firefox for your new clean accounts and Chrome for routine stuff. This blocks tracking cookies and auto-fill data from linking identities.
  • Think like a detective: If an investigator could connect your accounts via any detail, so can anti-cheat software. Leave no trail.

2. Check Your Background Programs Before Playing

Many bans come not from cheats you’re running but from forgotten apps still active in the background. Easy Anti-Cheat scans all running processes, even ones not interacting with Dead by Daylight directly.

  • Close unnecessary apps: Before launching Dead by Daylight, check your system tray and Task Manager. Shut down anything not essential, like:
    • Macro tools: AutoHotKey or custom mouse/keyboard macros.
    • System tools: Cheat Engine, debuggers, reverse-engineering software—just having them open is risky.
    • Overlays: Common ones like Discord or NVIDIA GeForce Experience usually don't cause issues, but rarely, some can trigger false flags.
  • Create a "Clean Gaming" startup profile: Advanced users can set up a Windows profile that loads only essential services and drivers to avoid conflicts. For more ways to optimize your PC, see our Change Hardware IDs PC article.

3. Be Ready for Ban Waves

Anti-cheat teams rarely ban hackers the moment they spot cheats. They often watch silently, gather data, then hit everyone who cheated together in a big “ban wave.”

  • Why they do this: It slows cheat developers from figuring out what got caught.
  • What it means for you: You might play with a cheat for weeks without a problem, thinking you’re safe, then suddenly face a ban. It's a calculated strike, not random.
  • Good news: If you use Sync Spoofer, the ban only hits your spoofed identity. Your real hardware is untouched. Just clean, re-spoof a new ID, and keep playing. Learn more about ban wave strategies in Wayfinders Hardware Ban.

4. Always Vet Your Sources Carefully

The web is packed with scams and detected tools. Where you get your software is crucial.

  • Stay away from “free” cheats: Any YouTube or sketchy sites claiming “free Dead by Daylight cheats” are usually malware or already detected hacks that lead to fast HWID bans.
  • Stick to trusted communities: If you go for third-party tools, get them only from private, well-established groups with a solid record of staying under the radar. Paid options mean lower chances of detection.

5. Keep Your PC in Top Shape

A tidy, well-maintained PC not only runs better but is also less likely to trip anti-cheat alerts due to weird software conflicts.

  • Clear caches and temp files regularly: Use Windows Disk Cleanup every so often and consider RevoUninstaller when removing programs to avoid leftover data.
  • Update essential drivers from official sites: Get GPU drivers directly from NVIDIA or AMD.
  • Run malware scans: Tools like Windows Defender or paid antivirus help catch anything spying or interfering behind the scenes.

Pair Sync Spoofer’s powerful hardware masking with these habits, and you build a strong, multi-layered defense against future HWID bans.
