While playing PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, I run various tools such as hwinfo64 and MSI AFTERBURNER. My concern is whether these programs can be detected by battlegrounds as potential hacks. On the Steam page, many users report being banned without clear reasons. I just purchased the game, so I’m trying to confirm if there’s any truth to these claims.

There’s no explanation I could provide for why you weren’t banned yet.

I frequently use MSI Afterburner and have never been blocked... It's unlikely that's the reason they get banned when others are.

They actually use battleye instead of VAC. Hardware tracking software seems unlikely to cause issues, and I haven’t received any warnings.

Battleeye found and fixed my Rivatuner earlier than expected, which was unusual but not a major issue.

They were likely dishonest from the start, and it was surprising but I'm hoping for a reversal.
