Incorrect ban.. Or so I believe.
12 years since account creation.. 12,500 Hours played across the 233 Products owned, Worth roughly $1500, time majorly in Garry's Mod with 6,600+ and I've received a VAC BAN for having Soda Dungeon with Cheat engine enabled on Only that game which isn't even vac secured, while playing cs-go in a custom server. Nothing was injected. Over the last 12 years I've never hacked or cheated in a Valve associated Steam Game. I don't understand since nothing was injected into cs go while playing that I was banned, This makes me so angry because I never touched the game with cheats and this is 12 years of experiences that feel like they've been drained and wasted over something that didn't happen. And the developer for Soda Dungeon anpShawn doesn't care if people do because it's mainly an IDLE GAME. Frustrated. Please give me info that would be fantastic. I understand they aren't reversible unless falsely given, which ... i would assume this is falsely given.

Cheat engine doesn't give you a VAC ban unless cheat engine is hooked into that game. It would give a disconnect at most.

That's not true, I never had it attached to CSGO only dungeon.exe (soda dungeons windows image name)

We can sit here and argue all day, but it all comes down to one thing:
This is an user forum, nobody here can unban you. Those that can won't. Read the pinned thread.

... Cheat Engine by itself does NOT trigger a VAC ban, for the record. Using it with a VAC-secured game does. Either way, it may help if you read what Flurdy has linked to you. You can take a look at these, as well:

And now you know why you're banned

No, It said i recieved it in CS:GO, which makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense Soda dungeon isn't even vac secured.
Regardless, there is nothing we can do for you here. This is only a user forum.

I'm only irritated because it's not blatently stated why I was banned, and also what is the point of this forum if all you guys are able to do is post a link , to something that's already brought up when you get banned?

Because this forum is about the VAC system, not for your VAC bans.
Valve also doesn't disclose such information because it would make it easier for cheat creators to become undetectable.

It is a *discussion* forum, not a "remove my ban" forum. Many users misunderstand the meaning of "discuss." Valve will not disclose the evidence they have against a user. All of this is explained in the provided information.

You are given these links because that is the most anyone can offer here.
