Is It Really a Splitgate HWID Ban?
1047 says an "Account Sanctioned" notice for a temporary penalty shows the time remaining and usually lasts 15 minutes to a day; the same sanction recurring across different logins only on this PC is a stronger HWID pattern, but 1047 publishes no separate hardware-ban error code.

Can you still log into your game account?
Hardware Coverage
What Splitgate Tracks — and What TraceX Rewrites
Splitgate's anti-cheat silently reads dozens of hardware identifiers from your PC while it's running — long before you reach a match. Below is a sample of the identifiers being tracked.
| Hardware Identifier | Splitgate Tracks | TraceX Rewrites |
|---|---|---|
| CPU / Platform Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| SMBIOS Baseboard / System UUID | Yes | Yes |
| GPU Adapter Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| Physical Disk / Volume Serials | Yes | Yes |
| Physical NIC MAC Addresses | Yes | Yes |
| Windows MachineGuid | Yes | Yes |
Reality Check
Splitgate Appeals Almost Never Work
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.
“We'll be using RedKard, our own kernel-level anti-cheat as well as other proprietary systems. RedKard only runs when SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is launched and closes down once SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is closed.”

Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Splitgate?
You open SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded through Steam for a 3v3 Ranked Takedown run, get past the portal splash, and the login flow stops on "Account Sanctioned." That message is frustratingly broad: 1047 says a temporary sanction should show the time remaining, so a timer points to an account penalty, not proof that RedKard burned the whole PC. The hardware-ban pattern is different. If another Splitgate login reaches the same sanction only after it touches this Windows machine, while it works elsewhere, the repeated device match is the clue. Do not confuse a RedKard launch failure or normal crash with that pattern.
RedKard is the current PC anti-cheat for SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded. 1047 calls it its own kernel-level system, says proprietary protections run beside it, and confirms that RedKard starts and closes with the game. What it does not publish matters: there is no public RedKard HWID field list, hardware-ban code, or rule saying every "Account Sanctioned" panel is device-based. Its April 29, 2026 sanctions article says a temporary penalty shows the time remaining, usually from 15 minutes to a day; prior penalties can mean longer suspensions. Diagnose that state before treating a Steam, Epic, or Microsoft Store launch problem as an HWID ban. A second login sanctioned only after returning to the same PC is useful device-link evidence, but it is not an official RedKard verdict.
1047's privacy policy confirms automatic collection that can include a MAC address, other unique identifiers, device information, and crash logs containing hardware details. It does not map every field to RedKard. The concrete Windows collection surfaces behind a composite machine profile include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, the motherboard or system UUID, physical disk serials exposed through storage IOCTLs such as `IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY`, separate filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and `MachineGuid` under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography`. Windows also exposes a TPM 2.0 endorsement key, while Secure Boot reports platform state rather than another serial number. Those values age differently. Formatting Windows can rotate `MachineGuid` and a volume serial while leaving the baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, retained disk firmware serials, NIC identity, and TPM-rooted material intact; replacing one SSD is still only a partial change.
The cross-game boundary comes from 1047 policy, not a claim that RedKard operates one universal engine-wide ban list. The User Agreement says cheating in one Game or Service may terminate access to all 1047 Games and Services. That is a license-level blast radius, not a promise that every Splitgate sanction triggers it. A temporary session spoofer presents replacement values only while its process or driver is active, and the old profile can return after reboot. TraceX Spoofer uses a permanent rewrite for its supported board, storage, Windows, and network identifiers. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, then delete the tool. TraceX does not patch RedKard, run beside Ranked Takedown, restore a sanctioned account, or guarantee that 1047 will reverse a penalty.
Verified
1047 Games' SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded FAQ, updated January 22, 2026, states: "We'll be using RedKard, our own kernel-level anti-cheat as well as other proprietary systems. RedKard only runs when SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is launched and closes down once SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is closed." Its separate Privacy Policy, last updated December 4, 2025, confirms that the services may automatically collect MAC addresses and device information; it does not publish RedKard's full HWID schema.
Why TraceX
Built for Splitgate Players
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Splitgate again. That's why TraceX exists.
Splitgate One-Time Run
Run TraceX once before opening Splitgate through Steam / Epic Games Launcher / Microsoft Store. The rewrite persists, so you can delete the tool before RedKard starts.
Permanent RedKard Identity
Splitgate's hardware ban (hwid) / account sanction — redkard is tied to the profile RedKard reads. Rewritten identifiers persist across reboots without a TraceX daemon.
RedKard Identifier Coverage
For Splitgate, the documented RedKard coverage includes CPU / Platform Identifier, SMBIOS Baseboard / System UUID, GPU Adapter Identifier. TraceX rewrites the supported fields in one pass.
No Splitgate Runtime Load
Splitgate launches from Steam / Epic Games Launcher / Microsoft Store after the rewrite is complete. No TraceX process remains during RedKard gameplay to consume resources.
Splitgate Compatibility Notes
Splitgate's hardware ban (hwid) / account sanction — redkard details stay separate from the current RedKard status, so a game update is never treated as unchanged by default.
Fresh RedKard Hardware Profile
When you open Splitgate with Splitgate account + linked Steam, Epic Games, or Microsoft account, RedKard reads the supported identifiers produced by the completed permanent rewrite.

FAQ
Splitgate HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
Does SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded issue HWID bans?
1047 confirms that RedKard is a kernel-level anti-cheat and that its services can collect MAC addresses, device information, and hardware details in crash logs. It does not publish a dedicated hardware-ban article, RedKard field list, or HWID error code. One "Account Sanctioned" notice therefore proves an account penalty, not the exact matching method. The stronger device-linked pattern is the same enforcement following another login only on the unchanged PC.
What anti-cheat does SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded use?
It uses RedKard, which 1047 Games describes as its own kernel-level anti-cheat, plus other proprietary systems. The official FAQ says RedKard starts when Arena Reloaded launches and closes when the game closes, so it is not described as an always-on boot service. 1047 does not publicly confirm the community claim that RedKard is a renamed EQU8 build. Treat that lineage as unverified and use RedKard when diagnosing the current PC release.
What does "Account Sanctioned" mean in Splitgate, and how long does it last?
It means 1047 has placed a penalty on the account, but the panel alone does not reveal whether hardware matching contributed. The Account Sanctions article updated April 29, 2026 says a temporary penalty displays its remaining time and usually lasts from 15 minutes to a day. Accounts with prior penalties may receive longer suspensions. If the notice has no useful explanation or outlasts the displayed timer, preserve a screenshot and use the official Penalty Appeal request.
How can I tell a Splitgate HWID ban from a RedKard launch error?
Start with the exact screen. An "Unable to Start" popup, blocked DLL, crash, or failure before login can be a Windows, antivirus, driver, or installation issue; 1047 documents those separately. An "Account Sanctioned" notice confirms enforcement but not an HWID match. A stronger hardware pattern is a different Splitgate login working on another PC and receiving the same sanction only after it is used on the original machine. Even that is diagnostic evidence, because 1047 publishes no HWID checker.
Which hardware identifiers can matter to a Splitgate device profile?
Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard or system UUID, physical disk serials returned through storage IOCTLs, separate filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. A TPM 2.0 endorsement key can anchor the platform, while Secure Boot exposes integrity state rather than a unique serial. 1047 confirms MAC and device-data collection but not RedKard's exact field set or weighting.
Will reinstalling Windows or replacing an SSD clear a Splitgate HWID ban?
Not reliably. Formatting Windows can regenerate MachineGuid and a filesystem volume serial, while replacing an SSD changes one physical-drive serial. Neither action rewrites a retained SMBIOS baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, other connected disk serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, or TPM-rooted material. If RedKard or 1047's proprietary systems use a composite, the unchanged values can preserve the device relationship. 1047 does not publish a one-part reset rule.
Will a new Steam, Epic Games, or Splitgate account bypass the sanction?
A different login changes the account layer, not the Windows machine. It still presents the same board, storage, network, OS, and platform-state signals if they have not changed. That means account rotation is not a clean test of an HWID restriction and can expose another account to the same device relationship. It also does not remove the original sanction. Use 1047's official account-linking and Penalty Appeal routes rather than assuming a new launcher identity resets RedKard.
Can I appeal a Splitgate account or hardware sanction?
Yes, you can submit a Penalty Appeal through 1047's player-support request form. Include the platform, account identifier, exact sanction message, displayed timer, date, and a screenshot so support can separate an account penalty from a launch problem. 1047 publishes no appeal success rate and no promise that a confirmed cheating sanction will be reversed. TraceX cannot restore the sanctioned account or alter 1047's enforcement record.
Can a Splitgate sanction affect another 1047 Games title?
1047's User Agreement says that if it concludes you cheated in one Game or Service, it may terminate your license to use all of its Games and Services. That creates a publisher-policy blast radius, but the word “may” matters. The agreement does not say every Splitgate sanction automatically bans every 1047 title, and RedKard is not documented as a universal ban engine shared by unrelated publishers. Keep the policy possibility separate from a confirmed cross-title action.
What is the difference between a temporary Splitgate spoofer and a permanent rewrite?
A temporary session spoofer presents replacement identifiers only while its process or driver is active. After reboot, the previous profile can return and the tool must run again. TraceX uses a permanent rewrite for supported board, storage, Windows, and network identifiers: complete the one-time setup, run it once, then delete the tool. No TraceX process needs to run beside RedKard. The rewrite does not unban the original Splitgate account or guarantee a successful appeal.
