backlash Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 So recently I've been led to believe that if I have an account banned on CSGO I must re-install my windows with a new HWID to protect myself from getting an untrusted ban on a new account even if I didn't cheat on it at all. Is this true or are people just being crazy? I've read through steams TOS and it says nothing about tracking people through HWID at all. Also doesn't prohibit the creation of new accounts to repurchase any game you might have been banned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winter Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 You don't need to do any of that, just make a new account and you're golden :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a technician and avid law fanatic I thought this was all conspiracy theories. Dumb people over at (a cheat provider I won't name) are adamant that Valve track previously banned players.

panic11 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Just so you know re-installing Windows does not give you a new HWID. A HWID is connected to your hardware, not your software. HWID=Mac Address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could very well use some info from the HDD which would change on format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
