falsely banned on cs2???

[Dale Dribble]

Just got vac banned on cs2 and i dont even play the game regularly. If i do play im either going on community servers to surf or im playing comp office. I never modded nor hacked cs. I literally only use a config file like everyone else with keybinds. are people still experiencing false bans??

i read that high dpi or AMD gpu drivers can cause it for the AI, but I dont have an AMD gpu, and have a Logitech 502x i use. my dpi is only 1200/2000 depending on the map im surfing.

I am really hoping i get valve to help me with this, so far its been silent on the support ticket i made.


There can't possibly still be OW can there??. I dont believe for a second that a person watched me drunkenly and sloppily play CS and go 5k 20d on every game and they thought i was hacking.

Don't play on a computer that you don't have 100% control over.

For all you know, someone installed cheats on that pc.

I am the only one ever on my pc. Nobody is on it nor would they have unauthorized access. This comment does not apply, but I understand the incentive.

Support won't help you with VAC.
If it's unfair ban, it'll be auto-removed. If it's fair ban, you'll be together forever.

How do I know when they have made a decision? Must i just wait for the support tickets 14 day period to expire to know for sure?

thanks for your reply

False bans are normally removed within the first 2 weeks, but there has been cases where it took longer. No one including Steam Support can tell you when or if the ban will be removed.

Surely there arent unfair bans that have remained right?

Thanks for your reply. Sucks to have to wait so long for resolution to such an accusation. Hopefully they are speedy with help.

Expect to keep waiting forever. They are going to tell you they have verified that known cheats were detected. They will inform you the ban is permanent, will not be reversed and will subsequently close the support ticket.

VAC bans are not from the AI system, those are game bans. You don't have an AMD GPU and that issue was already resolved so you clearly did something wrong.

Known cheats and memory edits of any kind while in operation of a VAC protected title will get you flagged for a ban.

Outside of some incredibly rare widespread instance like the AMD situation a false VAC ban to a single user basically never happens so you're likely to have the expected outcome.

Ive been frantically searching for things pertaining to what programs are inherently not to be used alongside steam games, and have found that what i use for my Reverse engineering is not mentioned, and it would have only caused a VAC error, not resulted in a ban if it was something the system detected. (ghidra, x64dbg. the drivers may have been loaded but i have not used these whilst playing a game or the other way. and they are contained in a VM thats running linux OS)


it seems that actual VAC bans are manually applied. That just brings me even more confusion and questions.

There is literally just nothing i can do. 10+ years and thousands of hours with friends only to be ruined because of some stupid ban that came from something completely unidentifiable (understandably) and i get no further info about anything nor even a real person to confer with.

whats even more frustrating is that i have spent legitimately the last 100 or so hours only playing on surf community servers.

VAC Bans are not manually applied. It's an automated system.

No. VAC bans are automated. You only confuse yourself if you read misinformation.

VAC is a database of recognised cheats and if your account is detected using these when connected to a protected server, you get banned. The system can also trigger if memory files are tampered with or if cheats are injected into the core directory or hooked to the executable process. All of this relies on automated detections.
