How to unban global hardware ban from PunkBuster

How to unban PunkBuster Global Hardware Ban

I was banned. I want to be unbanned and a few people contributed to a way through. I’ve not tested the setup myself, but has been told by others that it works.

I’ve also read about cheats that can unban you, cheat PunkBuster, but I have no idea how to work them. Some of these cheats are only available in closed clans or the like.

Here is how to unban you from PunkBuster (pb). BTW.. Evenbalance that handles the bans for PB will never tell you why you’ve been banned.

Unban Global Hardware Ban

1) Get a new hardrive or set your current hardrive(s) up in RAID (RAID 0 is best for games) If your motherboard does not support it then get a RAID controller.

2) Get a new NIC (Ethernet card)…make sure you disable remove any ond cards. And be sure you disable any firewire 1394 ports (will show up under network connections)

3) If you get a new harddrive and it isn’t set up in RAID don’t use your old one. PB scans every hd you have connected. You can still use them just disconnect them before you play BF2. One option for old HD’s would be to get an external enclosure so it would be easier to plug in.

4) Try experimenting with the console, try is putting in console sv_pb_security 0. That might also just work.

Feel free to report your results here.

  3. this only works for people that do not have a hardware ban just a plain simple ban like muitihack all you need to do is send me exactly what it says when you get kick when you try to connect to a pb server

  5. I recieved the following message:
    “YOU HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THIS GAME SERVER VIA PUNKBUSTER … GLOBAL PUNKBUSTER HARDWARE BAN =?”

    not very specific, huh?

    So does this method work for hardware bans or not? I feel cheated by the anti-cheat (anti-cheat – anti-christ? hmmm).

    Note #6: So what of my last response to you on. Note #5: Well thx but i only own 2 games and that Joint Operations and Call of Duty,

    i can play joint operation with this hardware but not Call of Duty and the banned didn’t come from Call of Duty it came from another game that i don’t have hmm seems kinda strange to me

    i’m really tryin to make sense of all this but i can’t…plus your software gave me a banned that i wasn’t even cheating in. I don’t think thats fair

    And if im able to still play in PB servers in joint Operations servers then my computer isn’t the problem it’s your PB software beause i said i only OWN 2 games, And if the ban didn’t come from COD and i’m still aloud to play in PB servers for Joint Operations then where did the ban come from? what game?

    I guess no one there can answer that qustion. just that your software thought i was cheating and banned me and thats the end of that. How nice

    i can play joint operation with this hardware but not Call of Duty and the banned didn’t come from Call of Duty it came from another game that i don’t have hmm seems kinda strange to me

    i’m really tryin to make sense of all this but i can’t…plus your software gave me a banned that i wasn’t even cheating in. I don’t think thats fair

    Note #4: I’m not sure, any hardware ban will apply to all PB enabled servers.

    Note #3: Note #2: You were hardware banned, that means, you can’t play on any PB enabled server with that hardware, no matter what game. these are your words above:

    but what i’m saying is that i can still play Joint Operations with PB enabled in PB servers with this hardware, Why is that?

  14. Hey John

    LOL, yeah, u’r right. Ridiculous if u ask me. At least they can give the excact reason. They don’t bother.

    The words they use, are surely from a template, since everyone I hear from, gets more or less the same explanation. A bitch eh ?

    AND im still global banned.

  16. SoS….
    and im playing on my other pc (from LAN)
    SAME IP and then i can REALLY spawn!
    why not on me banned pc at LAN.
    after all the changes at the banned pc

  20. Hey admin, well i disabled my LAN in BIOS bud now i cant connect 2 the internet. I put the router out and NOW iam directly connected 2 the modem, bud cant STABELISED the connection to the MODEM! Its says (if im searching for it) cant vind a modem!!!
    maybe i need to reinstall win XP and install with the direct connection at the modem. and disable LAN again in bios and start all over.

  21. Make a system restore to just before your last change. Dont go reinstalling Windows, too much hassle.

    Try and try and try again. Go google, it’s easier than asking me 🙂

    Good luck

  23. I didn’t realize you can run programs off of an external HD, but i have a 150GB external and just ran Age of Empires 3 off of it. So that fixes my Hardrive part now i need a network card.

  27. How can I find out if and what cheats I have on my computer still. I downloaded a wall hack a looong time ago and thought I had deleted it. But I’ve been banned now and have no reason why.

  30. ummm reinstalling WINDOWS XP???

    thats the cheesiest version i’ve heard! LOL

    If you’re not s0o smart at messing with your hardware and u have $32 USD go to http://www.thekernelspoofer.com and buy that…

    that fixes ure HARDWARE BANN FOR SURE! =]

  32. Yupp…

    But we can’t stop cheaters from cheating anyway, not even PB.

    I bet all the people on this forum have used or use some kind of hack/cheat… Inlcuding me.

    If not we wouldn’t be here. =]

  34. The GUID you supplied was logged using a cheat that tried to prevent detection by PB. The method used is considered by us to interfere with the way PB is designed to work, therefore violating our EULA.

    If you were not cheating, then someone was either using your computer or your CD key and was caught.

    Either way, your GUID was used to try to hack on PB servers and it is now permanently banned. You may still play on non-PB servers as our bans only apply to servers with PunkBuster enabled

    this is what i got from evenbalance and now they wont answer me anymore ive sent 5 replies after that and still nothing and i have not been using the hacks the guid ban 26f9c7c8

  36. Wow! What a waste of money.. A HARDWARE ban? Never heard of such a thing.. a GUID ban, yes. But why spend such money on hardware when it’s the software’s KEY that the GUID is generated with? Just go out and buy a LEGITAMATE copy of the game if you’re spending the money anhow.

  37. LOL… disregard that last post.. I didn’t realize that there were multiple pages to this thread… I had a blonde moment, as my wife would say.

  38. Hardware bans=dont work

    I cheated got caught…I unbanned myself and never cheated again.
    now i have more fun .

    Format the hard drive
    search in google for these spoofers.

    download a mac address changer. (changes network card #)
    then DL a hard drive ID changer(change volume ID #)

    Changing my HD ID and my mac adress along with a complete reformat to remove traces of the cheats that you CAN NOT REMOVE without formatting Made my hardware ID change enough to be able to use the machine to play again.

  39. hi……
