For Honor HWID Spoofer
TraceX rewrites supported hardware identifiers once for For Honor. It does not reverse an account sanction or guarantee access.
For Honor uses EasyAntiCheat. TraceX supports a one-time identifier rewrite for this route; current compatibility remains version-specific.
Free diagnostic
Is this a hardware ban in For Honor?
Hardware-ban symptoms in For Honor are more consistent with device linkage when the same PC is blocked across separate accounts; an account sanction follows the account. For Honor labels the EAC state "Banned" and displays "An unauthorized hacking program has been detected while you were playing the game"; a routine EAC failure or short matchmaking penalty is not proof of a hardware restriction.

Reality Check
What affects hardware-ban appeals in For Honor?
For Honor appeal outcomes depend on publisher policy and the evidence submitted. An appeal can correct an enforcement error, but it does not change device identifiers or guarantee reinstatement.
“Prevention from accessing a specific or several Services while using a particular hardware, device or IP address typically in case of severe and/or repeated breaches of these Terms.”
Ubisoft — Terms of Use, Article 7.5 (last updated January 26, 2026)
Submitting an appeal without evidence
Creating a new Ubisoft account (+ Steam or Epic linkage) on the same machine
Using a VPN or proxy
Reinstalling For Honor
Reinstalling Windows
Assuming that waiting changes the machine identity
For For Honor, TraceX rewrites the supported hardware identifiers listed on this page; it does not alter publisher records or guarantee account access.
Why You Need This
Do you need an HWID spoofer for For Honor?
TraceX for For Honor changes supported machine identifiers before launch; it does not remove publisher records or restore a sanctioned account.
You launch For Honor through Ubisoft Connect after Steam hands off, queue Dominion 4v4, and get the EAC "Banned" screen: "An unauthorized hacking program has been detected while you were playing the game." Ranked Duel never opens. Before you buy the game again or sacrifice another Ubisoft account, separate three things that look similar from the menu: an account sanction, a routine Easy Anti-Cheat failure that can cause a short matchmaking penalty, and a hardware or device restriction that follows this Windows PC. The exact message and Ubisoft email matter more than a forum guess.
For Honor has an unusually important policy split. Ubisoft's February 23, 2017 sanctioning post said its temporary and permanent For Honor bans were applied to the account, not the hardware, and that the team validated an Easy Anti-Cheat flag before issuing the sanction. Ubisoft's broader Terms of Use, updated January 26, 2026, now lists prevention from accessing one or several Services while using particular hardware, a device, or an IP address for severe or repeated breaches. That authorizes device-level enforcement across Ubisoft services; it does not prove that every current For Honor action is an HWID ban. Start with the exact screen and the Ubisoft email, which the 2017 post says identifies the offence, platform, and duration.
Easy Anti-Cheat does not publish a For Honor field list or weighting formula. The concrete Windows collection surfaces available to a hardware-aware client include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, the system or motherboard UUID, physical disk firmware serials returned through storage IOCTLs such as IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY, separate filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. A Windows reinstall can regenerate MachineGuid and volume metadata while leaving the board, UUID, drive firmware, and factory network identity unchanged. A TPM 2.0 endorsement key and Secure Boot state are additional hardware-rooted and integrity surfaces, but neither Ubisoft nor Epic publicly confirms that For Honor uses either one as a ban key. Anyone claiming a leaked six-field For Honor formula is guessing.
Cross-game risk is shared fingerprint exposure, not a universal EAC ban list. Fortnite, Rust, Apex Legends, and other EAC integrations can encounter the same categories of board, storage, Windows, and network values, while each publisher still administers its own sanctions. A For Honor action therefore does not automatically ban every EAC title. The other distinction is persistence: a temporary session spoofer presents replacement values only while its runtime is active, so the old profile can return after reboot. TraceX Spoofer permanently rewrites its supported identifier set in a one-time workflow. Run TraceX once, confirm the rewritten profile, then delete the tool; no daemon or per-boot session remains. TraceX does not restore the sanctioned Ubisoft account, change the publisher's decision, or disable Easy Anti-Cheat.
Verified
Ubisoft's February 23, 2017 "Our Approach to Sanctioning in For Honor" post said For Honor bans were applied at account level rather than hardware level. Ubisoft's Terms of Use, updated January 26, 2026, now includes access prevention tied to particular hardware, a device, or an IP address for severe or repeated breaches. The newer general rule authorizes hardware enforcement, but it does not say every For Honor ban uses it. (Sources: Ubisoft For Honor News; Ubisoft Terms of Use, Article 7.5.)
Why TraceX
What does TraceX support for For Honor?
For For Honor, TraceX rewrites the supported identifiers once, so the product does not need to remain running during the game.
For Honor One-Time Run
Run TraceX once before opening For Honor through Ubisoft Connect / Steam / Epic Games Launcher. The rewrite persists, so you can delete the tool before EasyAntiCheat starts.
For Honor Persistent Rewrite
For For Honor, TraceX's supported identifier changes persist across reboots without a resident daemon. Publisher sanctions remain separate.
EasyAntiCheat Identifier Coverage
For For Honor, the documented EasyAntiCheat coverage includes CPU / Platform Identifier, SMBIOS Board Serial / UUID, GPU Adapter Identifier. TraceX rewrites the supported fields in one pass.
TraceX Exits Before For Honor Starts
For Honor launches from Ubisoft Connect / Steam / Epic Games Launcher after the rewrite is complete. No TraceX process remains during EasyAntiCheat gameplay to consume resources.
For Honor Compatibility Notes
For For Honor, hardware ban (hwid) details stay separate from the current EasyAntiCheat status, so a game update is never treated as unchanged by default.
EasyAntiCheat Supported Fields
TraceX presents rewritten values for its supported fields when EasyAntiCheat checks For Honor; current compatibility remains version-specific.

FAQ
What should For Honor players know about HWID bans?
For Honor HWID ban FAQs explain EasyAntiCheat enforcement and the supported TraceX workflow.
Does For Honor issue HWID bans, or are its bans account-only?
The public record has two layers. Ubisoft's February 23, 2017 For Honor post said temporary and permanent bans were applied to the account, not hardware. Its Terms of Use, updated January 26, 2026, now allows access prevention tied to particular hardware or a device for severe or repeated breaches. That makes hardware enforcement possible under current Ubisoft policy, but there is no first-party statement proving that every For Honor cheating ban is an HWID ban.
How can I tell a For Honor ban from an Easy Anti-Cheat error?
The documented EAC ban state is labeled "Banned" and says, "An unauthorized hacking program has been detected while you were playing the game." Ubisoft also says its sanction email identifies the offence, platform, and duration. By contrast, a security-failure message, service startup problem, unknown-file warning, disconnect, or short matchmaking penalty can be technical or match-specific. One EAC error is not enough to diagnose a hardware restriction.
Which hardware identifiers can matter in a For Honor HWID check?
Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, system or motherboard UUID, physical disk firmware serials queried through storage IOCTLs, filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. TPM 2.0 endorsement-key material and Secure Boot state can add device or integrity context. EAC does not publish For Honor's exact field selection or weighting, so this is a surface map, not a leaked schema.
Will reinstalling Windows or formatting my drive clear a For Honor HWID ban?
Not as a complete hardware reset. Reinstalling Windows can regenerate MachineGuid, and formatting can change filesystem volume metadata, but neither action rewrites the SMBIOS Type 2 board serial, motherboard UUID, physical disk firmware serials, or a physical NIC's factory MAC address. It also cannot remove the sanction stored against the Ubisoft account. A reinstall can repair a broken EAC service; that is different from changing the durable machine profile.
Can I play For Honor on a new Ubisoft or Steam account from the same PC?
A new login changes the account identity, not the PC beneath it. If the original action is account-only, Ubisoft's rules still govern whether another account may return. If a hardware or device restriction was applied, the same board, storage, Windows, and network values remain available on the machine. Do not use one fresh-account result as proof either way: the public For Honor material does not disclose a matching threshold, and the original account sanction remains in place.
Can I appeal a For Honor cheating or hardware ban?
Yes. Ubisoft's 2017 For Honor sanctioning post says appeals are reviewed case by case, and the current Terms says sanctions remain open to appeal and human intervention. Use Ubisoft Support, preserve the sanction email, and provide the exact screen text, platform, date, and account-security evidence if the account was compromised. Ubisoft does not promise disclosure of EAC's detection details or reversal of a confirmed sanction, so avoid anyone claiming they can remove the server-side account record.
Will a For Honor EAC ban automatically ban Fortnite, Rust, or Apex Legends?
No automatic roster-wide rule is documented. Those games also use Easy Anti-Cheat, so their integrations can encounter the same categories of board, disk, Windows, network, and security-state signals when the same PC launches them. That creates cross-game fingerprint exposure and possible re-identification. Publishers still administer their own accounts and sanctions, so a Ubisoft action in For Honor does not by itself prove an Epic, Facepunch, or EA account is banned.
Does For Honor use the TPM 2.0 endorsement key or Secure Boot for HWID bans?
Neither Ubisoft nor Epic publishes a For Honor rule saying that the TPM 2.0 endorsement key or Secure Boot state is stored as a ban identifier. Both are real Windows security surfaces: the endorsement key is hardware-rooted, while Secure Boot reports whether the UEFI boot chain is trusted. They should be treated as possible device or integrity context, not confirmed For Honor ban keys. Do not clear the TPM or change firmware settings to test a sanction.
How do temporary For Honor spoofers differ from permanent HWID rewrites?
A temporary session spoofer presents replacement values only while its process or driver is active. After reboot, the original profile can return and the tool must run again. TraceX uses a one-time permanent rewrite of its supported identifier set. Run TraceX once, verify the rewritten values, then delete the tool; no resident daemon or per-boot session is required. The rewrite does not reverse the Ubisoft account sanction or make another rules breach permitted.
Will changing my IP address fix a For Honor hardware restriction?
No. An IP address is a network-route signal, not the machine profile. Changing it does not rewrite the SMBIOS board serial, motherboard UUID, physical disk and volume serials, physical NIC MAC address, Windows MachineGuid, TPM-rooted material, or Secure Boot state. Ubisoft's Terms lists IP, hardware, and device restrictions as distinct enforcement surfaces. It also does not remove a sanction attached to the Ubisoft account, so route changes cannot serve as an appeal or an HWID rewrite.

Next Steps
Can a ban in For Honor be hardware-based?
The notice shown in For Honor cannot confirm a hardware ban by itself. Repeated restrictions across separate accounts on the same PC can be consistent with device linkage, while an account-only sanction follows the account. The ban-type checker walks through the symptoms, while the EasyAntiCheat ban-duration guide records the publisher policy available for comparison before you decide whether waiting is relevant.
