Injecting a DLL to a game in order to create overlay is banable?

[potato]

I am working on an app for CS:GO, and I would like to create overlay, so I don't need to alt tab all the time. Is it banable to inject DLL for that couse?
https://github.com/hiitiger/gelectron
I would like to use this app to do it.
However: "To enable an electron app to have the ability to show its web browser window in another game process, we need to injecting a module (dll in Windows) to the game, make an IPC connection with our electron process" this part bothers me if vac can treat it as a trial of hacking. I'd like to know your honest opinions.

Pipo, maybe? + "Shady".. do you really think someone would be enough "smart" to write cheats for csgo in the browser? The giving one, I see your point. Zekiran, just "?"

My point is "believing what you see on a profile can be extremely stupid". I see this all the time, since I'm literally on here ... like... altogether too much. People get scammed and try blaming everything but themselves for falling for crap like that: "well the guy that you say scammed me was totally legit! his profile was filled with +rep!!" ... When we know, from actual practical experience here, that anyone WITH a profile like that is virtually guaranteed to BE a scammer and little else. Yet, folks believe what they're told if they believe it's from a source that is in authority. It's foolish at best, and disastrous at worst.

In the case to apply to this though: just because a program is available and seemingly innocent, unless you actually made it yourself and know exactly where the files go, and what those files DO, it could in fact contain ANYTHING, and do terrible things to your computer and games. The program in the OP doesn't seem to be shady so much, and since there's no further evidence to suggest it is 'outright bad' (as in being distributed with viruses or the like) it's fine more than likely. But not necessarily true for any other program and particularly ones which we see downloaded HERE in the Vac section all the time. People want quick cheats, they want 'undetected' cheats, and they get duped by scammers who ruin their accounts with lies.

Got that. Really thanks for all these comments. I guess, electron itself is fine to work with, but this overlay lib... I guess I have to find another way.

ANYTHING that injects itself into the running game process will automatically trigger a VAC ban in CS:GO. ANYTHING.
So everything you trying to do, do it at your own risk and dont come crying if you get a free VACation out if it.
Nobody will help you then, especially Steam.

Clearly you dont understand how VAC works. Stop talking out of your ass and get real facts.

Ok? He's not really wrong. Anything that alters core game files can cause a VAC ban. Is the overlay part of those core game files? Yes.

It isn't supposed to do anything with CS:GO files what do ever. All I want to is to have overlay (like steam overlay), and for example use it to browse sth (for example switch on music). It won't work (i could be banned) since its injecting DLL? :/

If you want to be ban safe then just use an external overlay (of which there are many for browsing/playing music) instead of injecting DLLs into CSGO which can get you banned. Valve doesn't know what you're injecting into the game, it only knows that you're attempting to modify the game's active memory and VAC protected files, that's a no-no. You do so at your own risk.

Remember "just better FXAA" where people claimed they were just injecting graphic effects which were cheats parading as graphic mods or just straight up cheats?
