What's the point of even thinking about VAC if the game doesn't use it?

there is none. should assume if they're asking about a VAC ban it's a VAC secure title though, and those don't allow external programs that give advantages like auto clickers/cheat engines/what have you.

How can you mess around with your friends in a singleplayer game?

An auto clicker would not alter the game files. Even if the game were VAC enabled it wouldn't ban you.

Nevertheless, an auto clicker/mouse macro are still frowned upon and considered cheating in FPS games.

I mean in multiplayer games. I was asking about single player games hypothetically

If the game uses VAC, don't touch any external programs. Use the built-in console cheats instead.

Thank you. Ive heard that bunny hop macros in CS can get you an overwatch ban, and i'd assume that an autoclicker can do the same thing.

Correct but not a VAC ban.

Yes. Although i probably should mention that i dont have it as a mouse macro. Its classified as a .exe file.

But it also must modify the game or access the game's memory. Auto clickers don't, and they aren't really advantage because most hardware comes with drivers that allow you to use built in macros. It's especially helpful for the people that have physical disabilities

It's not dangerous, as long as it doesn't require administrator right.

It does not.
