Anyone else hitting a brick wall with shadow bans in ARC Raiders? I've been digging into the telemetry after a persistent loop of 30-day suspensions on a high-end Ryzen 9000 build, and things aren't adding up.
Even with a dedicated hardware setup and supposed "safe" DMA configs, EAC seems to be flagging specific identifiers or behavioral patterns that shouldn't be visible.
The Shadow Symptoms
Testing reveals a specific pattern: after 1-5 raids, the account gets tagged. You’ll notice empty lobbies, matchmaking with only bots or other flagged users, and the loot tables being absolutely gutted. Eventually, the 30-day suspension hits.
DMA setup vs. Internals
What's interesting is the comparison to users running standard internal/external pastes like Crooked Arms. While the DMA setup using Eden firmware and KMBOX is being carefully tuned (low FOV, curved aim paths, smoothing up to 80), ragers on older AMD architecture are flying under the radar for weeks.
I’ve tried switching from Intel to AMD just to dodge the flag, but even without the DMA card active, the shadow status persists after a few raids on fresh accounts. This suggests a very deep hardware-level trace or an IP/Behavioral flag that sticks despite VPNs and MAC changes.
Anyone else on a fresh Ryzen build getting clapped instantly, or have you found a way to sanitize the hardware traces properly for ARC Raiders?

- Is EAC specifically targeting memory access patterns on the Zen 5 architecture?
- Is the DMA firmware signature leaked or being heuristically flagged by the latest anti-cheat update?
- Are the HWID identifiers (Disk, NIC, Motherboard) being tracked via deep seed registries that standard spoofers are missing?
