I have been tried to tell him that modified anything where it is being monitored by the VAC could issued a vac banned. This part where I'm not stupid to do this to my steam account and ps5

Except it's pretty much a risk-free unless you have VAC games running at the moment.

Right now, I'm only called it lower risk. As my experience, I stopped believe in any risk-free. It is not worth it, believe in risk free could make thing worst. It is what landed me in hospital for temporary blind.

It's only 'risky' because though very unlikely, Valve can any day choose to update their agreement policy and start a crackdown. i understand if you want to keep your account one hunderpercent safe futureproof, obviously i'm not going to strap you into a chair and force you to use SAM lmao

Simple - I often make typos and miss words out for two distinct reasons.

1) I'm disabled and my left arm doesn't work too well.
2) I'm too lazy to often go back and correct it.

So yeah, I mised the word out in the first one - ONLY.

I mean you could easily have checked this BY CLIKCING ON THE LINK PROVIDED.

And yes, sure I accept that.

But I don't have a clue what this user is trying to say becuase first off they say SAM is a risk, and when asked why they kind of vaguely seem to imply because of VAC.

Then when countered they say they didn't mean VAC, so I ask what do they mean then, and round in circles it goes without adequate explanation.

That's the point. I don't know what he means because he won't say.

Please don't change what I said, it is all there. I said "Lower risk" a 1 out of 5, not "Risk"

I haven't changed what you said.

I DON'T KNOW what you mean. How can that be changed?

You haven't explained yourself.

You keep saying it's a risk but I've asked HOW and you won't say. You now say it's isn't VAc, then WHAT IS IT?

So you wanted me to prove you're wrong? dunno what you mean by that. reversed VAC bans often includes people who left memory editors like Cheat Engine running in the background, hooked to no program. if VAC only checked .dlls and .exes that wouldn't even happened don't you think?

He's just concerned about its use i think, despite the facts. i agree with you in this matter.

No because cheat engines CHANGES those files. That's how they work.
It INJECTS code into those files and the memory associated with them. That's the whole point.

Did you mnot read the part in the VAC explanation that "it detects known cheats"? I thought that was commonly known.

In order to change those files' value you need to hook it to your desired .exe first.

And the exe is mentioned in that piece I clearly said AND YOU QUOTED.

What part of ONLY the game executables and library files don't you grasp?

In some cases CE ran in background, with seperate installation, with hooked to no process.
that's has nothing to do with .exe or .dll modification.
