PUBG and DMA hardware
Review PUBG's public language on DMA boards, unfair advantage, enforcement, and official appeals.

Gaming PC, DMA and Anti-Cheat Rules Guides
This hub uses current first-party sources to explain distinct hardware-security boundaries for PUBG, FACEIT, Counter-Strike 2, Apex Legends, Rust, Delta Force, and Call of Duty. It focuses on understanding rules, preserving system integrity, and using official support—not guessing how detection works.
Choose a game or platform
Find the rule owner, review date, device restrictions, and safe support path for your game. FACEIT requirements are covered separately from Valve's CS2 rules.
FACEIT security requirements
Separate FACEIT from Valve rules and understand TPM, Secure Boot, IOMMU, VBS, and driver notices.
CS2 (formerly CS:GO)
Understand VAC, Trusted Mode, and hardware input automation without importing FACEIT-only requirements.
Apex Legends
Separate DMA cards from input-manipulation devices and find official EAC, reporting, and appeal paths.
Rust PC
Use Facepunch terms, EAC guidance, community-server rules, and responsible disclosure sources.
Delta Force
Review public Delta Force rules for DMA/DMA bridges, system protections, and support evidence.
Call of Duty
Use current policies to understand unsupported peripherals, hardware identity, system integrity, and appeals.
Three safe reading paths
Before you play
Read the applicable rules first, then review your operating system, trusted drivers, boot security state, and client notices.
After an integrity error
Record the exact error, versions, and recent changes; use support from the game, platform, Microsoft, or device maker.
For authorized research
Separate research systems from live accounts, retain written authorization and scope, log changes, and respect publisher rules.
Evidence first
Rule evidence matters more than keywords
Games use different terms, security components, and enforcement schedules. No universal device list proves that hardware is allowed everywhere, and public enforcement data does not reveal detection methods.
- Confirm the rule owner, covered game, and publication date
- Separate ordinary hardware capability from conduct that creates unfair advantage
- Record exact operating-system, driver, firmware, and client versions
- Do not replace official support with a third-party whitelist or safety claim
- Recheck the original first-party page whenever a rule changes
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Do these pages mean HMA is officially supported by a game?
No. They independently summarize public rules and PC-security sources. Heino HMA is not affiliated with or endorsed by the named games, platforms, or anti-cheat services.
02Can one DMA conclusion be applied to every game?
No. PUBG and Delta Force use different official language, while FACEIT adds platform requirements beyond Valve's rules. Review each page separately.
03Do TPM, Secure Boot, or IOMMU guarantee that a game will run?
No. They are parts of a system security state; firmware, drivers, Windows versions, and the platform's current rollout still matter.
04Will these guides explain detection evasion or avoiding bans?
No. They provide no cheating, concealment, anti-cheat bypass, or ban-evasion instructions and make no promise about account outcomes.
