Been VAC-ed for a game bug?
Hi, I have recently tried the bug from the youtuber named Sparkles, in which it "breaks your models", I have joined a deathmatch game to see if it's still broken and then re-openned the game. I have played a full deathmatch and 4 rounds of casual and then when I've tried to join a community server to play with some of my friends, I see a message saying that I have been VAC Banned from the secure server. I only want to know why I got the ban...

More in depth from what I have understood from his video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlhvpefMr58&t=412s):
- You get a "model breaker.bsp" map and put it in your map folder
-Join the server in his description to load the map (164.132.137.234:27200)
-Disconnect and join a normal server or a map with bots
-Enjoy.

After the 4th step I restarted the game so the bug wouldn't work afterwards.

The bans are permanent, and cannot be lifted, Info on the bans aren’t disclosed to anyone.

Next time don’t install shady stuff from YouTubers.

If you would've atleast took a quick look on the video, the map doesn't have an installer, it's just a .bsp map that can be taken from the workshop too.

You cannot be VAC banned for game bugs or exploits. Unless the .bsp had cheats inside it somehow (doubt it) then it wasn't the cause.

Do NOT use shady download sites to install maps.

Also, irrelevant.

Multiple bans - well seems legit you got banned for a map.

The ban on TF2 was for Wall-hacking, I don't hide that.
Also, you too can replicate this bug pretty easily..
