You don't need a new windows key, you don't need a new hdd or ssd. After you do a fresh install of windows 10 you can create a new profile with the xbox companion app. I haven't gotten banned yet from that $999,999,9999 cash cheat. What I did was start the game, play through the intro and then quickly disabled the internet. I then did the cheat bought a couple of cars etc. Logged off, restored my internet and not ever use the trainer again..I have all of the cars and castles and no ban.
That what I did with Forza Horizon 3 back in 2016 but took 2 years for MS to find out and banned me permanently.
Question: If you get banned as some are when using this trainer and others, what do you then have access to? Is the entire game playable offline, even while banned? Looking at skipping some grind, but have no desire to play online, just customize and race some cars. Thanks!
Pretty much basic things essentially. You can't get liveries, can't do Forzathon, no Auction House, can't race players and pretty sure they won't send you gift wheelspins anymore.
They just updated their guidelines a few days ago and iirc, they are looking for more serious punishment for repeat offenders. So if you've been banned before on a Forza game, they could very well try to stop you from playing any/all of their games online altogether.
As for being banned offline, I doubt this is even possible, or legal at that. I don't agree with the way they handle primarily offline cheating, particularly how harsh they remain. If someone is just using credit cheats offline and never using online features, why is there a need to ban them? Some people just want to experience the game and don't have the time to grind out everything.
30 day bans for first offenders for cheating offline would be more appropriate if it's that serious to them, maybe after wipe their progress to show they are serious about it.
In FH3 I only used the trainer to start me off with $10 Million credits. That was all I did, banned me for 30 years over a measly $10 million and I never race online, I never used the AH, I occasionally got player-created paint jobs, that was it.
