Does TimerTool get you a VAC ban?

[Melody]

There are a lot of people around declaring that TimerTool will get you VAC banned.

Is it true or is it just a myth?

TimerTool basically allows you to set the system timer resolution to any value you want. I've found a reddit post where every single person using it has been VAC Banned and then subsequently unbanned:

I, personally, would not risk it.

It caused a banwave in 2017

it is safe to use now but useless if you run win7 or newer as your system will automatically do that stuff for you

You're right, I tried opening Open Arena and the timer sets to 0.5 ms automatically. You can check the system timer with:

powercfg -energy -duration 5

Then open the energy-report.html file and you'll see that the system timer automatically adapts. So I guess this tool is useless as of today.

It's a tool that adjusts cpu cycle times. It can cause a lot of unexpected issues.

No, it changes system timer's resolution.
