Is It Really a Summoners War HWID Ban?
A Summoners War: Sky Arena ban surfaces with one of three error states: "abnormal use," "abnormal gameplay through the use of unauthorized programs," or "Error 101 — An unauthorized program has been detected." The Hive ID gets locked with no published per-ban evidence packet on appeal. On the Steam version, nProtect GameGuard's kernel rootkit also reads the rig's hardware fingerprint at every launch — a fresh Hive ID on a flagged PC walks into the same screen.

Hardware Coverage
What Summoners War Tracks — and What TraceX Rewrites
Summoners War's anti-cheat silently reads dozens of hardware identifiers from your PC while it's running — long before you reach a match. Learn how Summoners War's anti-cheat works and why it's difficult to bypass without a spoofer. Below is a sample of the identifiers being tracked.
| Hardware Identifier | Summoners War 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
Summoners War Appeals Almost Never Work
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.

Com2uS Corp. — Com2uS Platform Terms of Service (Hive), §5 Prohibited Conduct
Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Summoners War?
You finally pulled a nat-5 Light Lushen on a 200-day pity, ran the Veromos fusion the same week, fielded a Despair / Will RTA team into G3, and the Steam client throws "Error 101 — An unauthorized program has been detected" before the daily Cairos rotation queues. You created a fresh Hive ID, told yourself a Galleon-Bernard-Hwa GB12 farm would be the comeback, and the same kick fires before the rune-management screen even loads. The Hive ID isn't the lock — nProtect GameGuard read your motherboard, drives, and NIC the second the kernel rootkit loaded, and that fingerprint is what's on Com2uS's banlist.
Summoners War: Sky Arena originally launched on iOS and Android on June 12, 2014 — for nine years and seven months it ran without kernel-level anti-cheat (mobile enforcement was server-side only, click-cadence and transaction-graph analysis). On January 8, 2024, Com2uS shipped the Steam port (Steam app 2426960) as a wrapped Android client, and the PC version brought a kernel rootkit along for the ride: nProtect GameGuard by INCA Internet. Steam's store page lists it explicitly: "Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat." GameGuard hides the game application process, monitors the entire memory range, terminates applications defined by the game vendor, blocks DirectX/Win32 API calls flagged by INCA + Com2uS, keylogs keyboard input, and auto-updates every session.
The Com2uS Platform Terms of Service (Hive) §5 spells out the prohibition list verbatim: "use, develop or distribute any robot, spider, unauthorized script, unauthorized scraper or offline reader, or any other cheat, mod, hack or the like" and "develop, distribute or publicly inform other members of 'auto' software programs, 'macro' software programs or other 'cheat utility' software programs or applications." §9 reserves termination authority verbatim: "COM2US PLATFORM MAY LIMIT, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE COM2US PLATFORM SERVICE IF WE HAVE A REASONABLE BELIEF THAT YOU FAIL TO COMPLY." Bans surface as "abnormal use," "abnormal gameplay through the use of unauthorized programs," or "Error 101." Com2uS does not publish a per-ban evidence packet on appeal.
The ban surface is dominated by the botted-account economy. r/summonerswar 2025 threads cite the 10-year (2024) and 11-year (2025) anniversary events as inflection points — bot-farmed Light/Dark nat-5 starter accounts re-rolled until target unit obtained, then sold on third-party sites — flooded the RTA secondary market. Com2uS has banned waves of these but the secondary economy continues, and Com2uS' policy on resold suspended accounts is verbatim explicit: "We cannot assist you with any inconvenience caused by trading suspended accounts." Emulator users on PC face additional risk: BlueStacks specifically has been server-blocked at points (game force-closes), MuMu / LDPlayer / Memu / NOX run in the gray zone, and using emulator macro recorders to auto-farm runes is treated as banning conduct identical to scripts and bots. The path back into Cairos / GB12 / Toa / RTA isn't a fresh Hive ID, an emulator switch, or a Steam reinstall — GameGuard reads a constellation of identifiers, and swapping one component leaves the rest matching the banlist. TraceX rewrites those identifiers permanently in one run, then deletes itself.
Verified
Summoners War: Sky Arena ran on iOS and Android for nine years and seven months without any kernel-level anti-cheat — Com2uS' mobile enforcement was server-side only. Then on January 8, 2024, the Steam port (Steam app 2426960) brought nProtect GameGuard's Korean kernel rootkit into the Sky Arena ecosystem, with the Steam store listing flagging it verbatim: "Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat." An 11-year-old mobile gacha gained kernel rootkit enforcement only via its 2024 PC port. (Source: store.steampowered.com/app/2426960; pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Summoners_War.)
Why TraceX
Built for Summoners War Players
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Summoners Waragain. That's why TraceX exists.
Run TraceX once before launching Summoners War. 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. GameGuard reads them as permanent — exactly like a fresh build.
Every hardware identifier GameGuard reads — CPU, board, drives, GPU, NIC, Machine GUID — rewritten in a single pass.
TraceX runs before Summoners War launches — not during. No FPS drops, no stutter, no driver hooks left running while you play.
TraceX updates ahead of Summoners War detection cycles. New versions ship before changes land in the game.
When you load Summoners War, GameGuard fingerprints what looks like a fresh system. Your real hardware is never exposed.
Setup Guide
How to Bypass a Summoners War HWID Ban
Getting around a Summoners War 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 Summoners War Scans Your Hardware
Summoners War 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 Summoners War, your real hardware IDs are scanned and matched against ban records. Every new account on a flagged PC is blocked.
Summoners War sees a completely new machine with no ban history. New account, clean hardware — access granted.

FAQ
Summoners War HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the mobile version of Summoners War HWID-ban?
No — mobile (iOS / Android) Sky Arena has run without a kernel-level anti-cheat layer since the June 12, 2014 launch. Mobile enforcement is server-side only (click-cadence analysis, transaction-graph detection, suspicious-pattern flagging). The HWID dimension was added only on the January 8, 2024 Steam port, where nProtect GameGuard's kernel rootkit reads PC hardware identifiers. Mobile bans surface as account suspensions tied to the Hive ID, not the device.
What does "Error 101 — An unauthorized program has been detected" actually mean?
Error 101 is the Sky Arena PC client's standard ban-message when GameGuard or Com2uS server-side detection flags the account. It can fire from kernel-level GameGuard scans (modified game memory, injected DLLs, debugger attachments), or from server-side behavioral detection on the Hive account itself (auto-farming patterns, macro use, suspicious RTA win/loss curves). Com2uS does not publish a per-ban evidence packet on appeal — the message is the same for both detection paths.
Will using an emulator like BlueStacks or LDPlayer get me banned?
Emulator use itself is gray-zone, but using emulator macro recorders to auto-farm runes is treated as banning conduct. Com2uS does not officially support emulators. BlueStacks specifically has been server-blocked at points (game force-closes on launch). MuMu / LDPlayer / Memu / NOX run without auto-block, but Com2uS has zero tolerance for automation. Google Play Games for PC is the only Com2uS-acknowledged "safe" PC option for the mobile client. The Steam version is the cleanest PC route — and brings its own GameGuard kernel layer.
Will reinstalling Summoners War or Windows lift my ban?
On the Steam version, no — nProtect GameGuard reads kernel-level hardware identifiers (motherboard, drives, NIC, BIOS) at every launch, and Com2uS' Hive account-ban persists regardless of game install state. On mobile, the ban is account-only (Hive ID), so a fresh device with a fresh Hive account can play, but the original account stays banned.
Can I trade or sell a banned Summoners War account?
Trading accounts is prohibited, and Com2uS provides zero recourse to buyers. The Com2uS Chronicles official notice (March 30, 2023) reads verbatim: "Summoners War: Chronicles Global prohibits any form of account trading in accordance with the Operational Policy" and "We cannot assist you with any inconvenience caused by trading suspended accounts." The same policy applies to Sky Arena. Bot-farmed nat-5 starter accounts continue to circulate on third-party sites, but they're at constant risk of being permabanned post-purchase.
Why is the botted-account problem so much worse on Summoners War's anniversaries?
r/summonerswar 2025 threads identify the 10-year (April 2024) and 11-year (April 2025) anniversaries as inflection points. Both events ran nat-5 Light/Dark starter selectors and free pulls that bots harvested at scale: bot accounts re-rolled until they hit a target Light/Dark nat-5 like Theomars, Velajuel, or Bernard, then got resold via third-party sites. Com2uS has banned waves of these, but the secondary RTA market continues to be polluted by anniversary-era bot rolls.
Why does my brand-new Hive ID get banned the moment I open Summoners War on my PC?
Because nProtect GameGuard fingerprints the rig before the Hive ID authenticates. If the PC is on Com2uS's banlist — even from a previous Hive ID on the same hardware — every new Hive ID logging in via Steam from that machine hits the same kick. The kernel-mode GameGuard driver reads motherboard, drives, NIC, and BIOS at every session start. The Hive account is downstream of the hardware fingerprint.
Can I run Summoners War on Steam Deck or Linux?
Officially supported on Windows only via Steam. nProtect GameGuard's kernel access doesn't function under Wine / Proton — the kernel rootkit can't load on Linux. Steam Deck's SteamOS does not run Sky Arena natively. Steam Deck users who dual-boot Windows can play, but native Linux/Proton attempts fail at the GameGuard driver-load step.
