i got game banned for using my monitors crosshair.

[Panagiotis Mastoras]

i own a vg279qm and in 3 years of ownership i discovered 2 days ago that it offers crosshairs fps timers and stuff like that. Eac somehow found that in my monitor. Nothing ever reaches to the console or injects files or anything, this is very unprofessional since they re using screen capture from my monitor and this is against the law, also im sure that it is not found as cheating since they have a page in facepunch saying that you can use 3rd party crosshairs, i kinda feel the need to explain my self about this action but the ban appeal button is useless and very shallow, is this considered cheating? Probably yes, is it considered cheating in rust policies? NOT. Im pretty sure that they are unlawfully searching more stuff in our computers that they are allowed to. This is bad.

You cant get banned from using built-in crosshair.

[Panagiotis Mastoras]

Well i did, i ve been playing this game in vanilla servers and met so many cheaters, teleporting, aimboting, walling and i get banned for something that SHOULD be untraceable and its in their policies too ! Also i ve been playing since 2017, i think i got an unfair ban but thats it now, facepunch wont do nothing, they keep merging my requests and dont answer.

Having crosshair on your screen is like having volume slider or menu options opened and made visible on screen - you cant get banned for that. You may as well put tape on your screen, its the same. You got banned for using some software and I bet you know what it was.

Why would i lie about it, why would i even bother posting about it, i got 800 hours and this is my main account, i didnt use any cheat. Check my stats or whatever man fills you up with joy, i didnt do ♥♥♥♥ and i got banned. Nothing more nothing less.

Bro, if i knew i wouldnt even bother making discussions, reddits or even checking their policies about it, i know what i ve done, and its in their policies. Its a false ban, their anti cheat is not perfect. Thats it, it can make mistakes.

[Lovecheese45]

the same reason all the others lie. Because you don't want to admit you got caught. Now we all laugh at you because there is literally nothing ANYONE can do in steam forums.

It's always people with bans that cry false bans lol

Do you want me to send you what the f i was seeing in my screen to make you feel better? I took a picture in my phone to show what im seeing and send it to my friends. I really dont get you people. I got an issue here yet you feel like you re the s just because you ve met multiple cheaters and they have ruined your game, guess what so do i. They got what they deserved or some of them did, i got this, its unfair.

Best thing to do is fill out the ban-appeal form on EAC's web site (the one they have for resolving false bans):

Already told you that anticheat cant identify your monitors own built-in crosshair. If its false ban then its for other reasons.

By Alistair: Can I use third-party crosshairs in Rust?
Use of third-party crosshairs in Rust is allowed.

Thing is you cannot learn the reasons you got banned, and i really want to learn the reason, heck i even checked if someone logged in from other locations from my account, because i saw some sketchy chinese logins from august, i got hacked and they sold all of my inventory in any game. i changed everything emails passwords etc

No you didn't - https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/6142365522577-Can-I-use-third-party-crosshairs-in-Rust-

Plenty of people use monitor and software crosshairs, take your pitiful lies elsewhere and stop cheating, we all know you did, you know you did, making up rubbish on forums to plead innocence is desperation.

Aside from the developers post it's not actually possible to detect a monitor crosshair as it's a hardware overlay, so no you didn't!

Its simple, if its false ban, it will be lifted and no reason is required. If ban is correctly given, then the reason is known both to cheater and game dev.

Bro, you can download a crosshair on Steam. EAC doesnt ban for things you can find on Steam.

Read Alistair saying crosshairs are not only allowed, but that theyre adding them to the game as well:
