Can I get banned because of "Cheat Engine" ?
Hey guys I just wanted to ask if I could get a VAC for just having ´Cheat Engine´ installed.
Lets say I would open Cs:Go and Cheat Engine would not be started...would I get a VAC in Cs:Go?

btw. sorry for my english I am from germany xD

You will get banned if both the cheat and CSGO is running.

As long as that cheat does not modify the game's core files and you don't have both the game and the cheat running, you shouldn't get banned.

Well that means if I download it and then start CsGo without running CheatEngine I will get banned?

When you play on VAC secured servers, yes.

Hello my friend xd

If you're running CE and CS:GO both it's 99% possible to get VAC. (Like Allibine spoken)

You get banned if you hook onto the game. Merely running cheatengine does not do anything and will not get you banned, when you hook onto csgo with it starts reading memory thus will get you banned

Some german Text:
Also wen du nur Cheat Engine installiert hast kann du nicht VAC gebannt werden, aber wenn Cheat Engine geöffnet hast kann es sein (nicht 100%, aber Grund genug es sein zu lassen) das du gebannt wirst.
Und nein du musst auf einen VAC geschützten Server verbunden sein das du gebannt wirst (alternativ kannst du in den Startup Optionen -insecure eingeben um im Singleplayer ohne VAC zu spielen)

If you use it for something else, make sure you wont automaticly hook it up to Csgo.

People have been banned for using cheat engine, but people has also got their cheat engine bans lifted. Just make sure it dosen't hook onto csgo, peferably don't use it at all on your csgo machine.

Not from VAC. Vac bans are permanent and will not be lifted. (Excluding false positives, which have nothing to do with cheat engine)

VAC detects any suspicious cheating files when a game is open. Don't be silly.

Just uninstall Cheat Engine. And don;t cheat in any game.

If you're this paranoid over getting banned then why risk it?
