You dont understand, I fully reset my PC before doing this method ( meaning everything on my pc was wiped, like a brand new PC with nothing installed). Meaning battlenet or MW was completely wiped. I did not install battlenet and MW until i changed me uuid and serials.

Well if you are still getting shadow banned then the anti-cheat is detecting something other than your uuid and serial.
My best guess is that if you reset windows, instead of reinstalling (deleted partition and installed), some ids didn't change in the registry.
Or, you signed into your banned account, before signing into the freshly made account.


Another person had said: "They use tracking files in your pc to ban your accounts...this game leaves a good amount of **** in your registry."
So once you log into a banned account, those files are already on your computer, signing into a new account after will flag you.

This was posted on a different site, which is why I wiped my windows installation.
Code:
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main\data0.dcache
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main\data1.dcache
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main\toc0.dcache
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main\toc1.dcache
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\Data\data\shmem
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main\recipes\cmr_hist
- Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare
- %localappdata%\Battle.net
- %localappdata%\Blizzard Entertainment
- %appdata%\Battle.net
- %programdata%\Battle.net
- %programdata%\Blizzard Entertainment

I did the following before installing the game and battlenet.
  1. Changed the MAC Address of my NIC.
  2. Called my ISP and requested them to change my IP Address. (This might not be required.)
  3. Changed the UUID and Serial of my motherboard. Follow the guide above. (If your ids keep resetting, I would do 3 after 5.)
  4. Completely erased 3 of the 4 disk drives installed in my pc. Yes, I deleted windows off the drive.
  5. Reinstalled windows onto a different drive than previously before. I did not buy a new ssd, I kept the 4 I already had.
  6. Installed Battle.net and Modern Warfare to a different driver than previously before.
  7. Created a new account on both Blizzard and Activision.

If you did the following, you shouldn't get shadow banned. Removing everything they can track and starting fresh is the way to go.

I wouldn't trust a random youtube video, nor would I waste another $60 or whatever just to end up banned.
I would wait until you have been able to play at least a week before I would buy it again.

Hi,
I really appreciate your help in this matter but I am having problems. I tried all your methods of writting the serial and uuid but when i check my serial and id with this (wmic baseboard get "SerialNumber") it shows up the old serial without me even restarting my computer. Its as if it does not want to change or save.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

What I did:
Changed HWIDs
Reinstalled BattleNet and Modern Warfare on a new drive
Created a new BattleNet/Activision Account

What I did not do:
Reinstall Windows

What Happened:
Shadow Banned

Conclusion:
YOU MUST REINSTALL WINDOWS FOR THIS TO WORK
I know the tutorial said this, but I cant bring myself to reinstall windows for a single game.

I got myself a separate drive for all things documents, so reinstalling windows is easy and I don’t lose anything. I just keep windows and installed programs on my C: drive. I also have another drive just for games. Took me like 30mins to do a fresh install and be back where I was. I know everyone’s pc is different though.

If you get shadow banned after restarting the game, the anti-cheat has detected flagged data and flagged your new account.

The game uses values in your registry (dunno which ones), and it also saves tracker files inside the installation directory and in your appdata/programdata/documents.
It most likely uses your UUID, Serial Number, Mac Address, and Disk Drive Serial Numbers (maybe all, maybe just the windows drive), I'm not 100% sure to be honest.
The easiest thing to do is completely wipe windows, to remove all tracker files and registry data, then change your unique ids.
Seems like the people who didn't wipe windows are the ones still getting shadow banned, or who used the same drive for windows.
All I can do is tell you exactly how I was able to bypass the ban and continue playing on a new account.
If you do it a different way, and it doesn't work, I don't know what you want me or anyone else to tell you.
Try again I guess?


Edit: New info

I figured out a way to permanently change your UUID. I will update the tutorial tomorrow.

If you restart your computer, and then checked your ids again, and they were the new ids, then it should be permanent for you.

If you sign into your banned accounts, at any time, you flagged yourself.
Blizzard saves account data on your computer when you sign in.
In the first post I explained what I did to bypass the ban going on two weeks now.

Here is what I did in the exact order.
  1. Changed the MAC Address of my NIC.
  2. Called my ISP and requested them to change my IP Address. (This might not be required.)
  3. Changed the UUID and Serial of my motherboard. Follow the guide above. (If your ids keep resetting, I would do 3 after 5.)
  4. Completely erased 3 of the 4 disk drives installed in my pc. Yes, I deleted windows off the drive.
  5. Reinstalled windows onto a different drive than previously before. I did not buy a new ssd, I kept the 4 I already had.
  6. When creating a windows account, I used a different name than what I had before the wipe.
  7. Installed Battle.net and Modern Warfare to a different drive than previously before.
  8. Created a new account on both Blizzard and Activision.
I also said the following: "It's that simple. Do not, for any reason, log into your banned account after following those steps."

If you followed that 100% then you shouldn't get banned again.

I made a new account after changing my serials. I think the only reason i got shadow banned is because i logged in my old account which was shadow banned so it shadow banned my new account. However all shadow bans usually end in a couple days.

If any of the values change, that is good enough. You see they grab a bunch of unique ids and generate some type of hash with them.
They use that hash to keep track for your accounts hardware. Even if you were only able to change one digit, the hash would be different from the original one.
If the anti-cheat detected anything, you would be shadow banned after the first restart of the game.

Just an FYI, the command line method is permanent (aleast for me). Did another clean install today because my pc was acting up. Checked the ids and they are still the new serials i used. Im pretty confident that there is no need to download battle net or MW to a different drive. I installed MW this time to my SSD. And i am not shadow banned or anything. This is the same SSD i got hwid perma banned with too.
