Free diagnostic
Is this a hardware ban in Wuthering Waves?
Hardware-ban symptoms in Wuthering Waves are more consistent with device linkage when the same PC is blocked across separate accounts; an account sanction follows the account. "Error occurs on ACE components. Game will exit soon. (1-0-0)" is an ACE launch failure, not proof of an HWID ban; device enforcement is more credible when an account sanction is followed by a different Kuro Games account being blocked on the same PC.

Reality Check
What affects hardware-ban appeals in Wuthering Waves?
Wuthering Waves appeal outcomes depend on publisher policy and the evidence submitted. An appeal can correct an enforcement error, but it does not change device identifiers or guarantee reinstatement.
“The use of illegal third-party tools, including cheating programs, accelerators, macro commands, etc., to gain unfair advantages in the game is strictly prohibited. […] Such illegal third-party tools include but are not limited to those that allow … automatic farming, cooldown alteration, invulnerability mode, teleportation, and modification of game data. Once an account is found to be using such tools, swift action will be taken, including but not limited to the removal of illegal gains, account suspension, or permanent ban, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.”

Why You Need This
Do you need an HWID spoofer for Wuthering Waves?
TraceX for Wuthering Waves changes supported machine identifiers before launch; it does not remove publisher records or restore a sanctioned account.
You hit Play in Steam before a Tower of Adversity run, and ACE closes Wuthering Waves with "Error occurs on ACE components. Game will exit soon. (1-0-0)." You repair the client, restart Windows, and try the official Kuro Games launcher. Same stop before your Rover reaches the title screen. That message alone is a known ACE component failure, not a hardware-ban notice. The pattern changes when Kuro sanctions the account and a different Kuro Games account is also blocked on that PC while the original account behaves differently on another machine.
Steam identifies Wuthering Waves as using kernel-level Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE). ACE's international data-processing terms disclose machine codes that include MAC addresses and hashes related to the operating system, network, memory, drives, display, and sound adapters; they also name CPU serial, network-card MAC, and disk serial as abnormal-data inputs. Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, disk serials from `IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY`, filesystem volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and `MachineGuid` under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid`. Kuro and Tencent do not publish this title's field list or weighting, so these are possible composite inputs, not a confirmed checklist.
Reinstalling Wuthering Waves changes client files; reinstalling Windows may change `MachineGuid`, but normally leaves SMBIOS, motherboard UUID, controller-reported storage values, and physical network identity intact. Replacing one SSD leaves the board, other volumes, MAC addresses, and OS signals available for correlation. A TPM 2.0 endorsement key is a hardware-rooted identity surface, while Secure Boot state reports boot-chain trust, but no official Wuthering Waves or ACE source reviewed for this page confirms either as a Wuthering Waves ban key. Delta Force, Arena Breakout: Infinite, and Strinova also use tailored ACE deployments that can encounter recurring machine surfaces. That creates cross-game re-identification exposure, not proof that one Wuthering Waves sanction automatically bans every ACE title.
A temporary session spoofer presents selected replacement values only while its driver or service is active and may need another run after reboot. TraceX Spoofer takes the permanent route: complete the one-time setup, run it once to rewrite the supported SMBIOS, storage, network, and Windows identifiers, then delete the tool. TraceX does not restore a sanctioned Kuro Games account, erase server-side enforcement records, disable ACE, or make prohibited software safe. It addresses the inherited machine profile a different account would otherwise present. If the only evidence is an ACE component error, fix the client conflict and use Kuro's appeal route before assuming HWID; if an account sanction is followed by another account being blocked on the same PC, the hardware-enforcement explanation is stronger.

FAQ
What should Wuthering Waves players know about HWID bans?
Wuthering Waves HWID ban FAQs explain ACE enforcement and the supported TraceX workflow.
Does Wuthering Waves actually HWID-ban, or only ban Kuro Games accounts?
Kuro's Fair Play Policy confirms account suspension and permanent bans, while Steam confirms that Wuthering Waves uses kernel-level ACE. ACE's own terms disclose machine-code processing, but Kuro does not publish a Wuthering Waves device-ban schedule or exact HWID formula. Do not label every sanction an HWID ban. Device enforcement is more credible when a separate Kuro Games account is blocked on the same PC after the original sanction.
Does "Error occurs on ACE components. Game will exit soon. (1-0-0)" mean a ban?
No. That literal ACE Center message is a component or startup failure and has been reported when the anti-cheat service cannot initialize or conflicts with the Windows environment. It is not a published Kuro device-ban notice. Record the full code, repair the official client, close conflicting tools, restart, and use Kuro's support route. Diagnose hardware enforcement only when the account and device behavior provide separate evidence.
Which hardware identifiers can ACE use in Wuthering Waves?
ACE discloses machine codes involving MAC addresses and hashes tied to the OS, network, memory, drives, display, and sound adapters. Relevant Windows surfaces include SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, disk and volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and `MachineGuid` under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid`. Kuro and Tencent do not disclose this title's exact field selection or weighting.
Does Wuthering Waves use TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot for hardware bans?
A TPM 2.0 endorsement key can expose a hardware-rooted identity, while Secure Boot state reports whether the trusted boot chain is enabled. They are separate signals. The official Wuthering Waves storefront, Fair Play Policy, and ACE materials reviewed for this page do not confirm either one as a Wuthering Waves ban identifier. Treat a claim that ACE stores the TPM EK for this title as inference unless Kuro or Tencent documents it.
Will reinstalling Wuthering Waves or Windows clear an HWID ban?
Reinstalling Wuthering Waves replaces game files, not the machine surfaces ACE can process. Reinstalling Windows may change `MachineGuid` and other OS-layer values, but normally leaves the SMBIOS baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, controller-reported disk serials, and physical NIC identity in place. Switching among Steam, Epic, and the Kuro Games launcher also reaches the same game account and ACE protection, so it is not a hardware reset.
Will replacing my SSD or changing my MAC address clear the Wuthering Waves ban?
One changed component does not create a completely new machine profile. A replacement SSD leaves the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, other volumes, NIC values, and Windows identity available for comparison. A different MAC leaves firmware and storage signals intact. ACE can correlate several inputs, so a partial change may still resemble the sanctioned PC and can make diagnosis less clear.
How long does a Wuthering Waves hardware ban last?
Kuro's Fair Play Policy says action can include removal of illegal gains, account suspension, or a permanent ban depending on severity and frequency. It does not publish one universal duration for a Wuthering Waves device component. Use the duration in the account notice and ask Kuro to clarify whether the action is account-only or device-linked. A forum report about a long account sanction is not proof that every HWID block has the same timer.
Can a Wuthering Waves ban affect Delta Force or another ACE game?
Not automatically. Delta Force, Arena Breakout: Infinite, Strinova, and Wuthering Waves use ACE deployments that can encounter recurring SMBIOS, storage, network, and Windows surfaces on the same PC. That creates cross-game re-identification exposure if another title sees the same composite. Ban lists and enforcement remain publisher and title dependent, so a Wuthering Waves sanction is not proof that every ACE game banned you.
What should I include in a Wuthering Waves ban appeal?
Use Kuro's official support route before changing the PC. Include the Kuro Games account details support requests, the exact sanction or ACE error text, a screenshot, the date and stage at which it appeared, and whether the account behaves differently on another machine. List legitimate overlays, macro tools, debuggers, remote-access software, or unusual drivers that were active. Do not guess at a cause or repeatedly create accounts while the review is open.
How does a persistent Wuthering Waves rewrite differ from session masking?
A temporary session spoofer presents selected replacement values only while its driver or service is active and may require another run after reboot. TraceX uses a permanent rewrite for its supported identifier set: complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, then delete the tool. It does not restore the banned Kuro Games account, erase server records, disable ACE, or make prohibited programs safe.

Next Steps
Can a ban in Wuthering Waves be hardware-based?
The notice shown in Wuthering Waves cannot confirm a hardware ban by itself. Repeated restrictions across separate accounts on the same PC can be consistent with device linkage, while an account-only sanction follows the account. The ban-type checker walks through the symptoms, while the ACE ban-duration guide records the publisher policy available for comparison before you decide whether waiting is relevant.
