Does changing background causing ban?

[seras666]

I wonder if I change my CS:GO Main menu and startup to my custom one will this caused ban? I change it through the file.

You can get an error while connecting to a official Server but no ban.

Thank you sir.

no it doesnt but I wouldnt change the background it might make you not able to connect to the server.
I used to remove the background and play on faceit never got banned. I dont do that anymore because It made me dodge a game because I couldnt connect!

don't edit the game files unless it's a single-player game.
gold rule if you do not want trouble

Thank you I won't be doing it. It really seem unsafe. Thanks

Thank you.

Editting or with other words "Modifying the game files" is NOT allowed.
Just do a little bit of research about it. It's like using BetterDiscord which also is NOT allowed but yet nothing happens. (sorry for bad english rn)

If you are talking about the csgo main menu background no that will never cause a vac ban in any kind, people telling you that it will have no clue what they are talking about the only thing you are changing it's a video files.

To get vac banned you have to inject code into the game, or change value that you are not allowed to do. It's more complex then that it's just basic information I'm giving out to understand.

Repalcing the video background of the main menu is not bannable.

you can also get into a situation where you are constantly automatically kicked from a server with sv_pure 1 (of course all official servers), but PANORAMA BACKGROUND VIDEOS ARE NOT INCLUDED INTO THE CHECK!!! (as of today at least, and it's been like this since panorama was made)

so yeah, modifying that is completely safe
just like modifying language of the game (to have more visible messages), the game's font, radiopanels, radar images and more

these files are not even packed into .VPKs! if you modify files that are inside .VPKs, that is going to conflict with sv_pure almost for sure.

sv_pure 1 won't kick you for that BC it's files that are not loaded into the game but I understand what you mean, maybe if sv_pure 2 was set it could do that but it's just a video file you change and its not even checking those files.

Should maybe do it if they hade sv_pure 2, not really sure why they are not using that.
