Ban waves feel random until you watch patch calendars. Major wipe patches, silent BattlEye driver bumps — sellers flip status to updating and customers who ignore it eat delayed HWID flags.
Why waves lag
Anti-cheat collects one leaked signature across thousands of launches, then drops the hammer at once. One provider batch gone overnight.
What to do
When besttarkovcheats.com Status says updating, do not launch. Discord still working spam on patch day is how mains die.
