VAC Ban for Cheat Engine used on different game.
I use the programme Cheat Engine on FIFA 19, as it allows editing of career mode, making the game more enjoyable to play. I have over 1000 hours on CS:GO and have never cheated on the game, I take it seriously and I enjoy playing it, please fix this, it's ridiculous to be banned for this.

As far as anyone knows and what is officially said by steam is CE causes vac errors not bans. It will only cause a ban if attached to the game.

Note that this is a user forum .

Sorry, but that is nonsense, and it's getting very old explaining why here :

It causes errors, not bans. Unless you actually use it to cheat in that game, of course.

What typically causes this error?

There are a number of common software conflicts that can cause this error. If you are running any of the following software, please disable it while playing:

CCleaner
Powershell
Sandboxie
Cheat Engine <----------------------------------
IObit Start Menu 8
Process Hacker
DLL Injectors
Hypervisors
Steam Idlers

No connection to VAC server = no VAC ban.

Who told you to try your luck here with the old cheat engine-excuse?

Whatever, CE causes errors and no bans, VAC detected other cheats or tools on your device.

Also, VAC bans are delayed. What you were doing at the moment the ban was applied on your account is totally irrelevant.

The cheating infraction was detected before that, up to days, weeks, or mabye even months before.

VAC does not ban accounts instantly.
