Free permanent HWID spoofer for Splitgate. Bypass RedKard hardware bans by rewriting your IDs once, then delete the tool.
Free diagnostic
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
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
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.

Why You Need This
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
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Splitgate again. That's why TraceX exists.
Run TraceX once before launching Splitgate. No RedKard hooks, startup entry, or background service remain when the tool is removed.
Your new hardware identifiers don't reset on reboot or reinstall. RedKard reads them as permanent — exactly like a fresh build.
TraceX rewrites its documented RedKard coverage set, including supported board, drive, GPU, network, and Machine GUID fields.
TraceX runs before Splitgate launches — not during RedKard gameplay. No background process remains to affect frame rate.
Compatibility notes record the latest published Splitgate and RedKard verification instead of assuming every release is unchanged.
When you load Splitgate, RedKard reads the supported identifiers produced by the completed rewrite workflow.
Setup Guide
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.
Free download
Submit your email and receive your free TraceX HWID Spoofer license in a few minutes. Run it once on your PC to permanently rewrite the identifiers RedKard fingerprints, then delete the binary and reinstall Splitgate.
Detection Analysis
RedKard can combine identifiers from your PC into a hardware profile for Splitgate. TraceX rewrites the supported fields shown below before the game runs.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
