Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Dead by Daylight?
Reinstalling Dead by Daylight doesn't move the Bloodweb forward — it loads the same banned hardware fingerprint that EasyAntiCheat already knows. Buy the game on a fresh Steam account, link a brand-new Behaviour account, and the moment you queue Trapper or Dwight against your friends the ban resurfaces before the lobby fills. EAC isn't keying off your prestige, your perks, or your hours — it's keying off the motherboard, disks, and network adapters you boot the Trial from. Until those identifiers change, every new account you make becomes another permanently-banned name on the same machine.
When EasyAntiCheat flags a Trial, BHVR's enforcement doesn't just sit on the Steam ID. The Terms of Use grant the studio the right to "temporarily or permanently ban your device from some or all BHVR Services" (§III.G), and the mechanism behind that promise is EAC pulling together a hardware fingerprint at boot — motherboard serial, SMBIOS UUID, whatever identifiers the disks expose, plus the MAC address on every network adapter it finds. None of that lives in DbD's install folder or the Windows partition, so reinstalling the game, wiping the OS, or formatting the drive leaves the firmware-level values untouched, and EAC recognizes the same rig the instant you next launch the Trial.
That's why the second Steam account costs you another ~€30 of Auric Cells and gets banned before you finish your first chase. The Behaviour account that promises cross-progression is the same trap from a different angle: §III.B says the ban "shall be valid on all Platforms on which the Account or Single Account is connected and/or the equipment linked to such Account or Single Account." Linking a clean Behaviour account to your Epic launcher install, then logging it back into Steam DbD, hands BHVR the bridge they need to re-flag everything. Console DbD on PS5, Xbox, or Switch runs on platform-locked hardware where EAC's kernel driver isn't doing the fingerprinting — enforcement there falls back to the Behaviour account / platform OS layer, not the PC hardware fingerprint.
DbD's cheating reputation makes the trigger easy. You don't need a full speedhack lighting up Killer Instinct halfway across Coldwind. Subtle clients — silent footsteps, extended grab range on Wraith, perma-aura reads on a single Bloodweb — get flagged the same way. Even a ReShade swap on the wrong build, a NightLight perk-icon pack, or an old GameUserSettings.ini tweak can throw an EAC integrity error and roll into a permanent suspension if the wrong file lands in the EAC scan. And once it does, no amount of new accounts, new emails, new Behaviour-account links, or fresh Steam family invites will fix it — the path back into the Trial requires rewriting the hardware identifiers EAC reads at launch.

Documented Identifier Coverage
TraceX rewrites its documented EasyAntiCheat coverage set, including supported board, drive, GPU, network, and Machine GUID fields.
Zero Performance Impact
TraceX runs before Dead by Daylight launches — not during EasyAntiCheat gameplay. No background process remains to affect frame rate.

Compatibility notes record the latest published Dead by Daylight and EasyAntiCheat verification instead of assuming every release is unchanged.
Rewritten Hardware Profile
When you load Dead by Daylight, EasyAntiCheat reads the supported identifiers produced by the completed rewrite workflow.

FAQ
Dead by Daylight HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dead by Daylight actually HWID ban?
Yes. EasyAntiCheat reports a hardware fingerprint to BHVR, and Behaviour's Terms of Use §III.G grant them the right to "permanently ban your device from some or all BHVR Services." Players confirm the experience: get banned on one Steam account, make a new one, and the same suspension resurfaces before the first Trial loads.
Will reinstalling Dead by Daylight or Windows fix the ban?
No. The ban is keyed to your hardware fingerprint, not to the DbD install or the Windows build. A fresh OS, a fresh Steam install, and even a fresh Behaviour account all read the same motherboard, disk, and network-adapter IDs EAC already flagged.
Does a DbD HWID ban affect other EAC games on the same PC?
No. EAC bans are per-publisher. A Behaviour ban locks you out of DbD and other Behaviour titles on that hardware, but Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rust, and other EAC-protected games run their own ban lists. Riot Vanguard and BattlEye are entirely separate systems.
Does the ban transfer if I switch from Steam to the Epic Games launcher?
Yes. BHVR's Terms of Use say a ban "shall be valid on all Platforms on which the Account or Single Account is connected and/or the equipment linked to such Account or Single Account." Once your Behaviour account is flagged, linking it to Epic doesn't unlock anything — and the hardware fingerprint follows the launcher anyway.
Can I get banned in DbD because of someone in my Steam Family Sharing?
Yes — there's been a wave of automated false positives starting late January 2026. Affected accounts span 600 to 6,000+ hours of legitimate playtime; BHVR's automated system propagated DbD bans to other Steam Family members based on years-old bans on a linked account. Some have been silently reversed (in-game pop-up apologies, replacement goodies); many are still stuck.
How long does a DbD HWID ban last?
Permanent by default. BHVR's policy is "zero tolerance" — once EAC flags an account for cheating, it's a permanent suspension with no expiry. Some players have reported "valid until 2036" messages on launch screens, which is BHVR's internal tag for indefinite.
Are appeals worth submitting?
Almost never for cheating. Appeals only realistically succeed when the ban is a clear automated mistake (Steam Family false positives, specific ReShade builds being flagged then cleared). For confirmed EAC detections, BHVR will not reverse — their public stance is that cheating bans are irreversible and discussed only via support ticket.
Console DbD doesn't have HWID bans, right?
Right. PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch versions of DbD run on platform-controlled hardware where EAC's kernel driver isn't doing the fingerprinting. A PC HWID ban doesn't follow you to console — your DLC carries over via Behaviour cross-progression as long as the Behaviour account itself isn't suspended.
Can I just swap a part to escape the ban?
Sometimes the motherboard alone is enough — but only if EAC isn't also reading disk serials, the SMBIOS UUID, or NIC MAC addresses on your build. Rebuying every part you might've left flagged is the brute-force approach. Replacing only an SSD or GPU usually leaves enough of the fingerprint matching the banlist that the next launch hits the same suspension.
Does EAC catch subtle cheaters (silent footsteps, slight haste) the same as obvious speedhacks?
In theory yes, in practice the subtle ones often slip past in real time. EAC catches them on signature scans and update sweeps after the fact — meaning a silent-footsteps loadout from months ago can still resurface as an HWID ban during a future ban wave once that cheat's signature lands in EAC's database.
