VAC Ban due to Fifa 23 Anti-Cheat messing with game file integrity
I believe it might be due to me installing Fifa 23. Apparantly it messes with other cheat detection softwares (some people had to deinstall other games entirely to even launch Fifa 23). Perhaps check if there may be a correlation between people playing Fifa and CS:GO. I haven't played a competetive match in months, so I believe something about the game file integrity was off. Do other people experience this issue? This Ban is 100% false.

Fifa 23 doesn't use VAC.

VAC bans are delayed from the time of the detection to the time that the ban is actually applied. What you were doing or not, when the ban was applied is irrelevant.

Just wait then, valve will remove your wrong ban soon.

Yeah, but if Fifa anti cheat messes with csgo game file intergrity it would be able to cause a ban in CS:GO.

A novel excuse but no, Fifa did not cause the ban on your account, having known cheats detected caused that

The account could have been flagged for the ban days, weeks or even months ago

That doesn't make no sense. Fifa 23 was released yesterday while you said you didn't play CS:GO in months.

Competetive CS:GO. I surf actively.

You got banned because you cheated. Coming here to ask the question why won't get you sympathy, won't get you an answer, and won't get you unbanned. Just because you were dumb enough to cheat and get caught, doesn't mean anyone else is dumb enough to believe anything you say.

The fact that you try to blame one game for changing files in another, completely unrelated game is novel, but as equally full of bullocks like the little brother excuse.

Not here for sympathy. I am hoping to find out why I was banned. I am aware that I did not cheat, idk if you believe me or not. I am hoping to see other people experience a similar issue. If I am told to uninstall other games because the Fifa Anti Cheat messes with other anti-cheat software I do believe, that is might mess with other game files. So this post is in hopes that others might have this issue too.

A vac is only for using known cheats ingame

This is a user-only forum. We don't have magical insight into your ban.

"Why was I VAC banned?
VAC bans are applied when an account, or an account using the phone number tied to other accounts, connects to a VAC-secured server while running cheat software.

Valve Anti-Cheat regularly checks the game files of all users connected to Valve's servers to ensure third party software is not being used which gives players an advantage. If software of this kind is detected a VAC ban will be issued.
"

- Nope, also for game files

I am hoping to find other users who got banned under similar circumstances. The timing is just too odd. One day after I first launch Fifa, which had anti-cheat issues with other games, I got vac banned.
