Free Enlisted HWID Spoofer - Fix Hardware Bans
Enlisted adds Gaijin's OUTLISTED enforcement to BattlEye's device reads. Run TraceX Spoofer once for a free permanent HWID rewrite, then delete it.
Free diagnostic
Is It Really a Enlisted HWID Ban?
If Enlisted shows BattlEye's "Global Ban #ID," that is a ban signal; "Failed to initialize BattlEye Service" and restart requests are service errors, not proof of an HWID ban.
Step 1 / 6
Can you still log into your game account?
Hardware Coverage
What Enlisted Tracks — and What TraceX Rewrites
Enlisted's anti-cheat silently reads dozens of hardware identifiers from your PC while it's running — long before you reach a match. Learn how BattlEye works in Enlisted and why it's difficult to bypass without a spoofer. Below is a sample of the identifiers being tracked.
| Hardware Identifier | Enlisted Tracks | TraceX Rewrites |
|---|---|---|
| CPU / Platform Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| SMBIOS Board Serial / System UUID | Yes | Yes |
| GPU Adapter Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| Disk Firmware / Volume Serial | Yes | Yes |
| Physical NIC MAC Address | Yes | Yes |
| Windows MachineGuid | Yes | Yes |
Reality Check
Enlisted Appeals Almost Never Work
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.
“Commanders, in the coming days Enlisted will transition to a new anti-cheat software, BattlEye. With its help, we'll be able to combat forbidden modifications even more effectively! For honest players, nothing will change, just our old anti-cheat software will simply be replaced by BattlEye!”

Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Enlisted?
You hit START in the Gaijin Launcher or Steam with Germany set for a BR IV–V Squads queue. The BattlEye window appears, but Enlisted never reaches the Normandy or Berlin map pool. Before you call it an HWID ban, read the line that stopped you: "Failed to initialize BattlEye Service" and a request to restart are service failures; BattlEye's "Global Ban #ID" or a permanent Gaijin notice is enforcement. A fresh Gaijin login changes the account, not the board, storage, Windows, and network values still exposed by the same PC.
Enlisted's PC enforcement is not one interchangeable ban screen. On September 16, 2024, Darkflow and Gaijin announced that the client would move to BattlEye, which works on the client and server while Enlisted is running. Gaijin's earlier OUTLISTED post described two other layers: anti-cheat built into the client and player complaints reviewed through battle replays by game masters. That split matters when the Gaijin Launcher or Steam stops you. "Failed to initialize BattlEye Service" and a request to restart point to installation or service trouble, not a sanction. "Global Ban #ID" is BattlEye enforcement, while a permanent OUTLISTED account action comes from Gaijin. Do not diagnose every blocked BR queue as an HWID ban.
BattlEye's privacy policy confirms that it may process hardware-device information and identifiers such as serial numbers, but neither BattlEye nor Gaijin publishes an Enlisted-specific matching formula. The concrete Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial and SMBIOS Type 1 system or motherboard UUID; disk firmware descriptors returned through IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY and separate filesystem volume serials; physical NIC MAC addresses; and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. A TPM 2.0 endorsement key is hardware-rooted identity material, while Secure Boot reports platform state rather than another serial. These are real collection surfaces, not a claim that Enlisted uses every one as a ban key. A Windows format can regenerate MachineGuid and volume metadata while board, disk-firmware, NIC, and TPM-backed values remain. Reinstalling Enlisted mainly replaces local client files.
The cross-game blast radius is exposure, not an automatic roster-wide sentence. Enlisted and War Thunder both run BattlEye under Gaijin, and the same board, storage, Windows, and network signals are available again; BattlEye can see comparable surfaces in PUBG, DayZ, Siege, and its other protected titles. Publishers still administer title-level sanctions, so an Enlisted ban does not prove another game account is already banned. A temporary session spoof presents replacement values only until reboot and must run again. TraceX Spoofer permanently rewrites its supported identifier set as a consistent profile. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, then delete the tool. No daemon or per-session process remains, and the rewrite does not restore a banned Gaijin account or cancel a publisher decision.
Verified
On September 16, 2024, the official Enlisted announcement said the PC client would transition to BattlEye during a launch and then show a new protection-system window. It also said BattlEye works on both the client and server and only while Enlisted is running. (Source: Darkflow Software / Gaijin Entertainment, "Anti-cheat software change," September 16, 2024.)
Why TraceX
Built for Enlisted Players
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Enlisted again. That's why TraceX exists.
Enlisted One-Time Run
Run TraceX once before opening Enlisted through Steam / Gaijin Launcher. The rewrite persists, so you can delete the tool before BattlEye starts.
Permanent BattlEye Identity
Enlisted's hardware ban (hwid) is tied to the profile BattlEye reads. Rewritten identifiers persist across reboots without a TraceX daemon.
BattlEye Identifier Coverage
For Enlisted, the documented BattlEye coverage includes CPU / Platform Identifier, SMBIOS Board Serial / System UUID, GPU Adapter Identifier. TraceX rewrites the supported fields in one pass.
No Enlisted Runtime Load
Enlisted launches from Steam / Gaijin Launcher after the rewrite is complete. No TraceX process remains during BattlEye gameplay to consume resources.
Enlisted Compatibility Notes
Enlisted's hardware ban (hwid) details stay separate from the current BattlEye status, so a game update is never treated as unchanged by default.
Fresh BattlEye Hardware Profile
When you open Enlisted with Gaijin account (+ Steam linkage), BattlEye reads the supported identifiers produced by the completed permanent rewrite.
Setup Guide
How to Bypass a Enlisted HWID Ban
Getting around a Enlisted HWID ban used to take hours — reinstalling Windows, flashing BIOS, wiping drivers, re-downloading everything, and praying it worked. One wrong step meant starting over and burning another account. With TraceX, a single click does more than all of that combined.
01
Get TraceX for Enlisted
Submit your email through the TraceX Spoofer homepage form to receive the Enlisted setup instructions — free, no card required.
02

FAQ
Enlisted HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Enlisted really issue HWID bans, or only account bans?
Enlisted officially uses BattlEye, whose privacy policy says it may process hardware-device information and identifiers such as serial numbers. Gaijin also publishes permanent OUTLISTED account actions after replay review. Neither source says every Enlisted ban includes a device block or publishes the game's matching threshold. A repeated sanction on new credentials from one unchanged PC can be consistent with hardware recognition, but the exact notice and account status still matter.
How can I tell an Enlisted HWID ban from a BattlEye error?
Read the wording before changing anything. BattlEye identifies a global action with "Global Ban #ID" when the game displays one; a permanent Gaijin notice is also enforcement. "Failed to initialize BattlEye Service," driver-load errors, blocked-file notices, and a request to restart are technical failures or kicks, not proof of an HWID ban. Repair the BattlEye installation path for a service error. Use the ban route only when the message or account record shows a sanction.
What hardware identifiers can BattlEye see in Enlisted?
BattlEye publicly confirms the broad category of hardware-device information and identifiers such as serial numbers, not Enlisted's private field list. Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, SMBIOS system or motherboard UUID, disk firmware and volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. TPM 2.0 endorsement-key material and Secure Boot state are separate surfaces; neither is confirmed as an Enlisted ban key.
Will reinstalling Enlisted or formatting Windows clear the ban?
Reinstalling Enlisted can repair damaged game files or a broken BattlEye service, but it cannot remove a server-side Gaijin or BattlEye sanction. Formatting Windows may regenerate MachineGuid and filesystem volume metadata. It does not normally replace the SMBIOS board serial, system UUID, drive firmware serial, physical NIC identity, or TPM-rooted material. A clean install is useful troubleshooting for service faults; it is not a complete machine-identity reset.
Will a new Gaijin or Steam account work after an Enlisted hardware ban?
New credentials change the account identifier, not the hardware information BattlEye says it may process. If Gaijin's action is account-only, the device may not be the deciding signal; if the machine profile is recognized, the same board, disk, Windows, and network values remain available. No official Enlisted policy promises that a replacement account will work, and creating accounts to evade a confirmed sanction can compound the enforcement rather than recover the original progress.
Does an Enlisted ban automatically affect War Thunder or other BattlEye games?
No automatic roster-wide rule is supportable. Enlisted and War Thunder share a Gaijin account ecosystem and now both use BattlEye, so unchanged hardware surfaces can be encountered again inside the same publisher stack. PUBG, DayZ, Siege, and other BattlEye titles can also see comparable device categories. Publishers still control title-level sanctions; cross-game fingerprint exposure is real, but an Enlisted ban is not proof that every other BattlEye game has banned you.
Does Enlisted still use Easy Anti-Cheat in 2026?
No. Darkflow and Gaijin announced Enlisted's transition to BattlEye on September 16, 2024, with the replacement applied automatically during a client launch. Current Gaijin troubleshooting also points to the Enlisted BattlEye folder under the Steam installation. Pages that still describe Enlisted as an Easy Anti-Cheat title are using pre-transition information. That distinction matters because EAC troubleshooting, appeal wording, and service paths are not the right references for the current client.
What is OUTLISTED, and is it the same as an automatic BattlEye ban?
OUTLISTED is Gaijin's public series for permanent Enlisted actions confirmed after player complaints and replay review by game masters. Gaijin says reports can start through the in-battle Complain option or the Replays section of its site. That human-reviewed route sits beside the external BattlEye layer and Enlisted's built-in client protection; it is not evidence that every name on an OUTLISTED sheet received a separate HWID ban. The November 17, 2025 Exploiters edition also covered intentional booster abuse under Clause 3.2.3.
How do I appeal an Enlisted BattlEye or Gaijin ban?
Use the authority shown by the notice. For a BattlEye global action, BattlEye asks for the exact "Global Ban #ID" and the game name; if Enlisted shows no ID, provide the game-account identifier. For a Gaijin account action or OUTLISTED review, use Gaijin Support and describe the notice accurately. BattlEye says duplicate submissions do not accelerate review and confirmed global bans are permanent, so one complete appeal is more useful than repeated tickets or service troubleshooting sent to the wrong team.
What is the difference between a temporary Enlisted spoofer and a permanent rewrite?
A temporary session tool presents alternate identifiers only while its driver or process is active. The original profile can return after reboot, so the tool must run again before a later Enlisted session. TraceX uses a permanent rewrite for its supported identifiers instead. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, then delete the tool; no resident process or per-boot session remains. The rewrite changes the machine profile presented later, but it does not restore the banned Gaijin account or reverse a publisher decision.
