Is It Really a Splitgate HWID Ban?
Login screen shows an "Account Sanctioned" panel with no timer and no reason — 1047 confirms most temporary sanctions clear in 15 minutes to an hour, while permanent ones never do; the legacy Splitgate 1 EAC ban also stamps a "Game Ban" on the Steam profile.

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 Serial (CPUID) | Yes | Yes |
| Motherboard Serial | Yes | Yes |
| GPU Device LUID | Yes | Yes |
| HDD / SSD Serial | Yes | Yes |
| NIC MAC Address | Yes | Yes |
| Windows Machine GUID | 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.

Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Splitgate?
You boot Splitgate: Arena Reloaded for a Friday-night Ranked Takedown stack, splash screen flickers past, and instead of the loadout select you get a flat "Account Sanctioned" panel with no timer and no reason. Your portal-trickshot main — the one with the blue-mastery Carbine, the Splitgate Pass progression carried over from the SG2 beta, the Ranked rating you actually grinded for — is now locked at the login screen. RedKard, 1047's kernel-level anti-cheat, has flagged your hardware, and a fresh Steam account on the same PC sees the same panel the second it tries to portal-frag in Showdown.
A Splitgate: Arena Reloaded ban is unusually durable for a 1047 Games title because the studio is layering enforcement on its own kernel driver. RedKard — confirmed by 1047 in the official Arena Reloaded FAQ as "our own kernel-level anti-cheat" and widely documented in the modding community as a rebranded build of EQU8 — loads before the game starts, runs only while Splitgate is open, and writes a hardware fingerprint of the machine into 1047's account database keyed to whichever Steam, Epic, or 1047 Games ID you logged in with. When the ban lands, 1047's TOS and Code of Conduct ("No cheating. No exploits. No exceptions") both authorize a permanent matchmaking lock, and the cross-game clause in the TOS lets 1047 pull every other 1047 product off your account in the same stroke.
Reinstalling Windows does not rewrite the motherboard's UEFI/SMBIOS strings or your NIC MAC. Buying Splitgate again on a fresh Steam account on the same PC just opens a second account that fails the RedKard handshake the first time you queue Ranked Takedown. The legacy Splitgate (2021) EAC layer is still active on Steam profiles even though 1047 shut down the official servers in 2024 — meaning a Splitgate-1-era EAC Game Ban and a Splitgate: Arena Reloaded RedKard sanction can both sit on the same hardware at once. Splitgate is the only game on TraceX's roster where the publisher built and named their own kernel anti-cheat, which means the only appeal channel for a RedKard sanction is 1047's own support queue — there is no separate EAC or BattlEye appeals path.

Why TraceX
Built for Splitgate Players
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Splitgateagain. That's why TraceX exists.
Run TraceX once before launching Splitgate. No daemon, no startup entry, no background service. When you're done, delete the binary.
Your new hardware identifiers don't reset on reboot or reinstall. RedKard reads them as permanent — exactly like a fresh build.
Every hardware identifier RedKard reads — CPU, board, drives, GPU, NIC, Machine GUID — rewritten in a single pass.
TraceX runs before Splitgate launches — not during. No FPS drops, no stutter, no driver hooks left running while you play.
TraceX updates ahead of Splitgate detection cycles. New versions ship before changes land in the game.
When you load Splitgate, RedKard fingerprints what looks like a fresh system. Your real hardware is never exposed.
Setup Guide
How to Bypass a Splitgate HWID Ban
Getting around a Splitgate 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.

Detection Analysis
How Splitgate Scans Your Hardware
Splitgate tracks dozens of unique identifiers from your PC and creates a unique hardware profile. It also leaves behind registry traces even after uninstalling — designed to detect you on return. TraceX takes care of everything.
When you launch Splitgate, your real hardware IDs are scanned and matched against ban records. Every new account on a flagged PC is blocked.
Splitgate sees a completely new machine with no ban history. New account, clean hardware — access granted.

FAQ
Splitgate HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
What anti-cheat does Splitgate: Arena Reloaded use?
RedKard — 1047 Games' own kernel-level anti-cheat. Per 1047's official FAQ: "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." RedKard is widely reported in the community as a rebranded build of EQU8 (the third-party kernel anti-cheat used in Splitgate 2's alpha), but 1047 has not confirmed that lineage publicly.
I got a legacy Splitgate 1 EAC Steam "Game Ban" in 2022. Can I still play Splitgate: Arena Reloaded?
Probably not. 1047's TOS says "if you Cheat in one Game or Service, we may terminate your license to use all our Games and Services" — Splitgate 1 and Arena Reloaded are both 1047 services. A legacy EAC ban on App ID 677620 is enough authorization for 1047 to refuse Arena Reloaded matchmaking on the same Steam account.
I got "Account Sanctioned" in Splitgate but I haven't cheated. Is it permanent?
Not necessarily. 1047's Account Sanctions article says "Most temporary account sanctions should last for 15 minutes or up to an hour." If it clears within an hour you were tripped by a temporary sanction. If it doesn't clear after an hour, file a support ticket at support.splitgate.com — the permanent ones don't self-expire.
Are Splitgate bans tied to my Steam account or my hardware?
Both. RedKard runs at the kernel and reads hardware identifiers (motherboard, disks, NIC, GPU) — that fingerprint is what blocks a fresh Steam account on the same PC. 1047's TOS also authorizes terminating your license on a single cheat detection, and the cross-game language is wide enough to cover hardware-keyed enforcement.
Will 1047 Games unban me if I appeal?
Sometimes for clear false positives. One Splitgate-1-era player had their EAC ban reversed with verbatim EAC language: "The ban on your account has been lifted and you should be able to join the game normally now." For Arena Reloaded's RedKard permanent sanctions, no community thread has documented a successful appeal of a confirmed cheat detection.
Does Splitgate use VAC?
No. Splitgate: Arena Reloaded uses RedKard, not VAC. r/Splitgate threads regularly flag opponents with prior VAC bans on their Steam profiles — a VAC ban on a different game does not automatically block you from Splitgate. The "Game Ban" badge that legacy Splitgate-1 EAC bans put on Steam profiles is separate from VAC.
Did RedKard used to leave its driver on disk after uninstalling Splitgate?
Yes, briefly. RedKard's early beta installer (May 2025) required manual driver removal after game uninstallation. Per r/Splitgate: "RedKard no longer needs manual removal as of checking at 2pm uk time." The current Arena Reloaded installer handles uninstall cleanly.
Does RedKard run when Splitgate is closed?
No. Per 1047's FAQ verbatim: "RedKard only runs when SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is launched and closes down once SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is closed." This is closer to EAC's behavior than to Vanguard's (which loads at boot). The driver has full kernel access while the game is open but is not always-on.
