I accidently left cheat engine open, am I going to get banned?

[VDavid003 | [HUN]]

So, I never really cheated in csgo or anything (yeah, I know everyone says this, but rly)
The only reason Cheat Engine was open, is because of I was reverse-engineering stuff before, and cheat engine is a pretty useful tool for that. I never ever wanted to cheat in csgo, and never did (apart from sv_cheats 1, but y'now who didn't do that offline?)
I was 1v1-ing with my friend when I got "Disconnected By VAC". I panicked, and stuff, so I didn't screenshot it or read it fully or anything.

Am I going to get banned?

only if injected in a secured game

Well, I didn't open csgo in cheat engine's thing, so does that mean I'm safe?

The worst that will happen when having Cheat Engine open is what you experienced. You will only be disconnected from the server until Cheat Engine is closed.

If you didn't attach CE to the CSGO process you will be fine.

no cheat no ban
cheatengine only open without injected in csgo will only give a vacerror

You should be fine, VAC doesn't care if cheat engine is only running unless it's injected into the game/game files.

Okay, thanks :D

Uhh, I got kicked again, this time basically nothing in the background.. what is happening?
it says 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 <some support url>

What is happening?

[Snaggle]

I'd advise you visit that URL

No man,you need to inject it into a vac secured game :)

According to the support page, IObit Start Menu 8 can do this. I don't have that, but I have classic shell. Could that be doing it?

I've already done that, so idk

I'm verifying game files for the 2nd time now, just in case.

CE will ONLY cause a VAC ban if it used to cheat on a VAC enabled game, in a VAC secured server.


Leaving it open causes a VAC error.

I now know that, I'm just trying to find out what else could be causing it, since I got kicked again after verifying game files, restarting, and not opening anything.
I might just play on gnu/linux or something, maybe there I won't get kicked, but for some reason I can't get csgo to run at 75hz there...
