Seeing a ban message is frustrating enough, but when you find out it’s not just your account banned but your whole PC blocked, it hits differently. If you're dealing with an HWID (Hardware ID) ban and want a real solution to bypass it and return to playing, you’ve come to the right spot.
Stick with me here.
This is the ultimate guide you need. Forget wasting hours on appeals that don’t work or throwing money at new hardware. I’ll walk you through a clear, step-by-step process to resolve your HWID ban and get you back in the game fast.
We’ll focus on the how, using the industry’s most trusted, undetectable tool: Sync Spoofer. I’ll break down every step, point out critical mistakes you want to avoid, and share key habits to help you stay clear of bans long-term.
How to Fix Your HWID Ban
This isn’t some quick fix checklist. It’s a thorough walkthrough to bypassing HWID bans effectively. Follow these steps closely for a reliable and lasting solution.
Step 1: Pick the Right Spoofing Tool (Sync Spoofer)
First things first, you need a spoofer you can count on. Avoid free or cracked tools from random forums—they’re often loaded with malware or already detected by Easy Anti-Cheat, leading to faster re-bans. For an in-depth look, check our guide on top anti-cheat software to understand how these systems work.
Sync Spoofer is a premium, professionally built tool with a free 1-day trial so you can test it risk-free. You’ll decide between two options:
- Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): The Flexible Choice
- Who it’s for: Gamers who want flexibility—maybe you switch software often, play competitively on multiple accounts, or hate downtime from reinstalling Windows.
- How it works: Launch the app before starting your game. It temporarily masks your hardware IDs. Restart your PC, and everything returns to normal. It’s safe, reversible, and hassle-free.
- Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The Long-Term Fix
- Who it’s for: Players who’ve been banned and want a fresh start that sticks. It’s the ultimate solution to permanently reset your HWID.
- How it works: This deeply changes your hardware identifiers and requires reinstalling Windows once to wipe old traces. After that, your PC is permanently viewed as a new device—no worries ever again.
Step 2: Access Your Files & Join the Community
After purchase, you get an instant invite to our private Discord server from a bot. It’s more than just downloads—it’s your support base. Inside, you’ll find:
- Instant File Access: Your license key and latest Sync Spoofer downloads available 24/7.
- Clear Guides: Step-by-step written instructions and video tutorials that break down every move.
- Expert Help: A 24/7 team that’s assisted thousands—stuck? They’re ready to guide you out.
Step 3: Clean Your System and Spoof
This is the most technical and vital phase, and Sync Spoofer automates the tough stuff. It rolls out in two stages:
- Stage 1 - Deep Clean: Before spoofing, wipe every leftover trace of your ban. Think of it like removing fingerprints. Epic’s anti-cheat leaves behind hidden logs, registry entries, and tracking data. The cleaner works like a forensic expert, removing all traces so nothing links to your past ban. For additional tips on removing ban traces, see our HWID cleaner and reset guide.
- Stage 2 - Spoofing: Once the system is clean, run the spoofer. It’s not just tweaking random numbers—it creates a fully new, legitimate digital identity for all your key hardware parts like your motherboard, drives, MAC address, and peripherals. Your PC becomes a completely fresh profile Epic's system has never seen. For more about the spoofer's technology, visit how Vanguard HWID spoofers work.
Step 4: Set Up a New, Unlinked Game Account
Your hardware is sorted, but your old game account is still banned. Logging into it again triggers immediate bans. You need a fresh identity from scratch.
Top tips for your new account:
- Use a brand-new email that’s never linked to banned accounts.
- Choose a completely new username.
- Important: Don’t connect the new account with any payment methods (cards, PayPal), phone numbers, or third-party accounts (Twitch, Xbox Live) used before. Anti-cheat matches this data to catch people trying to dodge bans. For insight into specific game bans, see our article how to get unbanned in War Thunder.
Step 5: Final Check & Launch
You’re almost ready to jump back in. Here’s what to do before launching:
- Restart your PC after cleaning and spoofing.
- If using the Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s activated.
- Open Epic Games Launcher and sign into your new account.
- Download and start your game.
Boom! You’re back gaming. Your HWID ban is no longer holding you back.
Beyond Bypassing: How to Stay Off the Radar
Getting past your HWID ban is just the first step. Staying clear of bans is the real challenge. Sync Spoofer hides your hardware, but your actions and online habits keep you safe long-term. Adopt these advanced habits for extra layers of protection.
1. Keep Gaming Profiles Separate
This is the golden rule. Treat your new clean identity like it lives in a totally different world than any banned or risky accounts. Anti-cheat doesn’t just check your game, it looks for links everywhere.
- Separate all your info: Don’t reuse payment methods, phone numbers, or social accounts across banned and new profiles. Epic’s system cross-references this data to catch evaders.
- Use different browsers or profiles: Try Firefox for your new clean gaming accounts and Chrome for everything else. This helps stop tracking cookies from connecting your identities.
- Think like a detective: If any piece of info can link your accounts, an anti-cheat system will spot it. Your goal is no trace at all. For more on avoiding common pitfalls, read common myths about HWID bans.
2. Double-Check Background Apps
Often players get flagged not for cheating, but because some hidden program runs behind the scenes. Easy Anti-Cheat checks all running processes, even unrelated ones. Learn about top anti-cheat software and how they monitor your system closely.
- Close unneeded software: Before opening Epic Games Launcher, check your system tray and Task Manager. Shut down anything non-essential, especially:
- Macro programs: AutoHotKey or mouse/keyboard macros.
- System tools: Cheat Engine, debuggers, reverse-engineering software—even just running these flags you.
- Overlays: Main ones like Discord or NVIDIA are generally safe, but lesser-known or badly maintained overlays might cause false flags.
- Consider making a clean gaming startup profile: For advanced users, create a Windows profile that loads only essential drivers and software to ensure nothing risky is running.
3. Understand Ban Waves
Anti-cheat teams rarely ban cheats immediately. They often watch quietly, gather evidence, then ban everyone in one go in a big "ban wave."
- Why? It’s to slow cheat developers from finding detection methods.
- What it means: You might use a cheat safely for weeks, then suddenly get banned when the wave hits.
- The upside: If you used Sync Spoofer, only your spoofed hardware identity is banned—not your real PC. You clean up, spoof again, and you’re back in. For detailed ban wave insights, see how to bypass HWID ban.
4. Be Careful Where You Source Tools
The internet is full of scams and caught tools. What you pick matters more than anything.
- Avoid “free” cheats: Random YouTube videos or shady sites offering free cheats usually mean malware or instantly detected hacks that get you banned fast.
- Stick to trustworthy communities: If you buy tools, get them from well-established private groups known for undetected software. These come at a cost, but it’s worth it to dodge detection.
5. Keep Your PC Clean and Updated
A clean, well-maintained PC performs better and is less likely to raise alarms. It minimizes software conflicts that anti-cheat might flag.
- Clear caches and temp files regularly: Use Windows Disk Cleanup and tools like RevoUninstaller when uninstalling software to remove leftover files.
- Keep drivers updated from official sources: Grab GPU drivers straight from NVIDIA or AMD’s official sites.
- Run malware scans occasionally: Use Windows Defender or a trusted antivirus to catch any sneaky background software.
