friend been vac'd

[Dinky]

is there anyway of having a vac ban removed if you have been falsely accused and banned

Stardew doesn't use VAC, and your friend cheated and got caught.

I think it's pretty obvious if you're banned in something, you can never be un-banned no matter how many times you try to convince. As what Tim said, Stardew does not have vac.

There's also plenty of mods that are considered cheating but it's not something people will be banned for since those people who been using mods would be banned or ConcernedApe would have asked SMAPI to be removed. Whatever your friend got banned on, it's definitely not Stardew Valley. If your friend's file is missing, it's probably corrupted. There's other threads discussing about missing files.

yeah sorry thats what game i was in my nephew got vac'd in csgo hes only 12 and wouldn't know what a cheat was

I guess you could talk to Steam Support, but the odds of them giving out an incorrect VAC ban are low. No matter what your friend said, he most likely was cheating. Or, someone who uses that computer was.

This is the list of VAC enabled games: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=8

Now, to be fair, there are lots of games that are not VAC enabled, and it's possible to run a cheat-and-or-hack in non VAC enabled games and not be censured for it. However, the cheat will remain in memory, and if you then log into a VAC enabled game you'll get a ban, even if you weren't actually trying to cheat in that game.

Do you think that cheating is that adult of an idea?

I'm with Tim on this one. Cheating, especially in multiplayer where it's to the detriment of other players, is usually something I'd say youngsters are more likely to do than adults.

Also, a VAC ban does not happen because you're "accused", falsely or not. So I highly doubt that was the cause of the VAC ban.

Finally, a VAC ban in CS:GO probably shouldn't be discussed in the general discussion section of Stardew Valley. I recommend you turn here instead:

12 year olds know exactly what a cheat is.. and the fact that it was cs:go tells me he would know more than you think he does.

VAC is perminant. rarely does valve remove a VAC ban unless you are a pro player in one of their games and you dont cheat.

[Ordinary Dark]
