Did i get VAC banned?
Hello, before i start thank you very much for viewing this discussion and i hope that you could help me.

So, I was playing CS2 just as normal and then like 3-5 minutes into the game i get kicked out of the game and i see 2 messages which stated:

Message 1:
Disconnected
You cannot play on secure servers for one of the following reasons:
  • An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system.
  • You are unable to maintain a stable connection to the VAC system
  • You are running software that is modifying the game or is incompatible with VAC
For more information visit: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/22C0-03D0-AE4B-04E8#repair


Message 2:

Valve Anti-Cheat challenge timed out. Please ensure that you are not using any programs that may interfere with VAC, and confirm that steam is correctly installed



Now i checked the link that sent and saw other forums on how to fix the VAC message, i checked steam for repair, verified the integrity of the CS2 files, and restarted my computer. I also checked if there were any other programs that were running (i wont lie, i thought that someone hacked me or something - i also checked my files for viruses but still nothing)

Once i came back on CS2, I went into a game to check if i wont get kicked out again, luckily i didnt, but now a new problem arose. The game was filled with like 30% of hackers.

I know that CS2 bans / puts hackers into the same games so now im wondering if my green trust factor went down after the incident or if ive been banned.

I hope someone can help me with this situation. Thank you!

Because the game is filled with 30 % cheaters :D It shouldnt do anything with your trust factor tho, its actually common issue with VAC that happens from time to time.

That's gibberish. The problem he has is a connection error, totally unrelated to VAC BAN or red green blue pink trust factors.

Easy fix for it too.
