HWID Spoofing Guides
How Anti-Cheat Detects Hardware (2026)
How does anti cheat detect hardware? It reads SMBIOS serials, disk and volume IDs, your MAC and MachineGuid, then matches them as one composite fingerprint
Throne and Liberty can match a fresh NC or Steam account to its EAC device profile. TraceX Spoofer permanently rewrites the HWID once, then you delete it.
Free diagnostic
A Throne and Liberty penalty record can show "Your account is penalized due to Cheating: Easy Anti-Cheat Detection"; a "Kicked Reason: Easy-Anti Cheat(47)" disconnect alone is not proof of an HWID ban.
Hardware Coverage
Throne and Liberty's anti-cheat silently reads dozens of hardware identifiers from your PC while it's running — long before you reach a match. Learn how EasyAntiCheat works in Throne and Liberty and why it's difficult to bypass without a spoofer. Below is a sample of the identifiers being tracked.
| Hardware Identifier | Throne and Liberty Tracks | TraceX Rewrites |
|---|---|---|
| CPU / Platform Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| SMBIOS Type 2 Board Serial / UUID | Yes | Yes |
| GPU Adapter Identifier | Yes | Yes |
| Disk / Volume Serial | Yes | Yes |
| Physical NIC MAC Address | Yes | Yes |
| Windows MachineGuid | Yes | Yes |
Reality Check
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.
“Today, we enacted a set of bans against accounts suspected of operating bots within Throne and Liberty. We will continue to monitor activity and take action against any bad actors intent on negatively impacting the experience of our players.”

Why You Need This
You hit Play in Steam five minutes before a Boonstone War, and the penalty page answers with "Your account is penalized due to Cheating: Easy Anti-Cheat Detection." The appeal is still your first move, but now every forum reply calls a Code 47 kick, a Steam penalty, and an HWID ban the same thing. They are not. Before you wipe Windows or risk a fresh Steam account, separate the server-side penalty from a repeatable machine match. If the same restriction follows clean software checks and the same PC, the old board, disk, Windows, and network profile is the part a new login does not change.
Throne and Liberty players often collapse three states into "HWID ban": a repairable EAC startup or Code 47 kick, a Steam-account penalty, and a machine-linked restriction. The penalty record can say "Your account is penalized due to Cheating: Easy Anti-Cheat Detection," while "Kicked Reason: Easy-Anti Cheat(47)" is a disconnect players also report during ordinary sessions; that kick alone does not prove hardware enforcement. Check the official penalty portal first. If the Steam account is sanctioned, reinstalling files cannot remove that server-side record. A restriction that keeps correlating clean accounts with the same PC after service and file problems are ruled out points to the persistent device layer, but Amazon does not publish a test that lets a player see which hardware value matched.
Epic does not publish a Throne and Liberty field-by-field EAC schema. The real Windows collection surfaces available to a hardware-aware client are still concrete: the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial and 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. Windows also exposes TPM 2.0 endorsement-key material and Secure Boot state, but neither Amazon nor Epic confirms that Throne and Liberty uses either as a ban key. A clean install can regenerate MachineGuid and volume metadata while leaving the board serial, motherboard UUID, controller-reported disk serials, factory MAC addresses, and TPM identity intact. Replacing one SSD is incomplete for the same reason: the rest of the composite profile still describes the machine.
EAC is a shared protection layer, so the same classes of board, storage, Windows, network, and security-state values can recur when this PC opens another EAC title. That is the cross-game blast radius: another integration can encounter a familiar composite profile or related risk signals. It is not one universal ban list, and a Throne and Liberty action does not automatically ban every EAC game because each publisher controls its own sanctions. TraceX Spoofer permanently rewrites its supported identifier set as one coherent profile instead of presenting a temporary session spoof that disappears after reboot. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, verify the rewritten values, then delete the tool. No daemon or per-boot rerun remains. TraceX does not restore a sanctioned Steam account, alter Amazon's appeal decision, or disable EAC.
Verified
On October 16, 2024, the official @TLGameStatus account wrote, "Today, we enacted a set of bans against accounts suspected of operating bots within Throne and Liberty." The post said monitoring and action against bad actors would continue. It verifies account-level bot enforcement; it does not publish an HWID field list, a device-match threshold, or a hardware-ban duration. (Source: THRONE AND LIBERTY Game Status, X, October 16, 2024.)
Why TraceX
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Throne and Liberty again. That's why TraceX exists.
Run TraceX once before opening Throne and Liberty through Steam. The rewrite persists, so you can delete the tool before EasyAntiCheat starts.
Throne and Liberty's hardware ban (hwid) is tied to the profile EasyAntiCheat reads. Rewritten identifiers persist across reboots without a TraceX daemon.
For Throne and Liberty, the documented EasyAntiCheat coverage includes CPU / Platform Identifier, SMBIOS Type 2 Board Serial / UUID, GPU Adapter Identifier. TraceX rewrites the supported fields in one pass.
Throne and Liberty launches from Steam after the rewrite is complete. No TraceX process remains during EasyAntiCheat gameplay to consume resources.
Throne and Liberty's hardware ban (hwid) details stay separate from the current EasyAntiCheat status, so a game update is never treated as unchanged by default.
When you open Throne and Liberty with Steam account, EasyAntiCheat reads the supported identifiers produced by the completed permanent rewrite.
Setup Guide
Getting around a Throne and Liberty 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 EasyAntiCheat fingerprints, then delete the binary and reinstall Throne and Liberty.
Detection Analysis
EasyAntiCheat can combine identifiers from your PC into a hardware profile for Throne and Liberty. TraceX rewrites the supported fields shown below before the game runs.
When you launch Throne and Liberty, your real hardware IDs are scanned and matched against ban records. Every new account on a flagged PC is blocked.
Throne and Liberty sees a completely new machine with no ban history. New account, clean hardware — access granted.

All EasyAntiCheat Games
All of these games use EasyAntiCheat — the same anti-cheat that banned you in Throne and Liberty. One permanent TraceX rewrite covers every one of them.
















FAQ
It confirms an account penalty categorized as an Easy Anti-Cheat detection. It does not reveal whether Amazon also stored or enforced a hardware match. Check the penalty portal, preserve the exact reason, and use the single appeal if the action is wrong. A recurring restriction on another clean account from the same PC may be consistent with device correlation, but the message alone is not a public HWID verdict.
Amazon's public Throne and Liberty support pages document cheating penalties, known-cheat detections, and permanent account outcomes, but they do not publish a hardware-ban schema or duration. EAC has the technical surface to build a composite device profile, and player reports describe same-PC correlation, yet those reports cannot prove Amazon's threshold. Treat hardware enforcement as possible without presenting a private matching formula as confirmed fact.
Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, physical-disk firmware serials queried through IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY, filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. TPM 2.0 endorsement-key material and Secure Boot can add identity or trust context. Amazon and Epic do not confirm Throne and Liberty's exact selection or weighting.
A new Steam login changes the account identity, not the board, disk, Windows, or network values exposed by the PC. If Amazon's restriction is device-linked, enough of the old composite profile can remain for correlation. An alternate account is also a poor diagnostic because another sanction does not reveal which signal caused it. Appeal the original penalty first; TraceX cannot recover that sanctioned Steam account.
Reinstalling the game or Steam replaces application files and can repair an EAC startup problem; it does not change the machine's firmware or controller identities. Reinstalling Windows may regenerate MachineGuid and formatting can change a volume serial, while the SMBIOS Type 2 serial, motherboard UUID, physical-disk firmware serials, factory NIC MAC addresses, and TPM-rooted material remain. A clean install is not a complete hardware-profile reset.
No conclusion follows from Code 47 alone. Players have reported that disconnect during ordinary sessions and service incidents, so it should be treated as an EAC kick until the penalty portal shows an actual sanction. Restart and file-integrity checks may resolve a service problem, but do not repeatedly test new accounts. If the portal lists a cheating penalty, diagnose and appeal that account action separately from the kick.
Yes. Throne and Liberty support says each penalty can be appealed once. Review the Code of Conduct and Penalty Categories first, then submit the exact penalty text, why it is incorrect, relevant account-security context, and any useful evidence in that one appeal. Amazon does not promise to disclose detection details. A hardware rewrite cannot overturn the server-side decision or restore access to the sanctioned Steam account.
No universal EAC roster-wide ban is documented. Multiple games can run the same EAC collection layer and encounter the same classes of motherboard, storage, Windows, network, and security-state values, so an already flagged profile can create cross-title re-identification risk. Publishers still administer their own sanctions. A Throne and Liberty penalty therefore does not automatically become a Fortnite or Rust ban.
A used PC presents the previous owner's SMBIOS board serial, motherboard UUID, installed-drive firmware serials, and factory network identities, so inherited device correlation is technically possible. Amazon does not publish Throne and Liberty's match threshold, which means a first-launch failure on second-hand hardware is not proof of an inherited ban. Check the exact EAC message, Steam penalty record, service status, and software state first.
A temporary session spoofer substitutes values only while its loader or background process is active, so the original profile can return after reboot and the tool must run again. TraceX uses a permanent rewrite of its supported identifier set. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, verify the rewritten values, then delete the tool; no resident daemon or per-boot session remains. Neither approach removes Amazon's account penalty.
