Ban wave?

[76561199233189134]

Hello dear moderators, my account has been subjected to a VAC ban for which I don't understand. On the account, not a single software was used that gives an advantage in the game. I even started investing money on this account, I wanted to go in and play today, but alas, for some reason I have a VAC ban.

I hope you will name the exact reason for the VAC ban

The Reason for Vac ban is always the same. Cheats detected in use while the account was connected to a secure server.

Under 40 hours and got popped. Nice free cheats. Google search betrayed you.

AHAHHAHAHAHAH, my account with 2000+ hours also crashed

Looks like your cheats were detected on both accounts, or they shared a phone number at the time of the detection of said cheats.

Would explain the lvl 0 throw-away, definitely.

Vac bans come from the detection of known cheats. Keep in mind that skinchangers are considered cheats.

Vac bans are permanent and non-negotiable.

Ban "waves" are a myth started by cheaters trying to explain away their bans.

Well, there is something that can be misunderstood as a wave. The case being when a popular cheat finally becomes detectable, more people than usual get banned. It's not a wave, more like just a coincidence.

Absolute rubbish. There's been some genuine waves in the past where Valve has handed out tens of thousands of delayed VAC bans over the space of a few days. It doesn't happen very often though.

Unlikely. Cheaters having multiple accounts banned in one go happens every day. I haven't seen anything stats wise to suggest an unusual surge in bans over the last few days.

These forums are not official Steam support. Steam will give out minimal information if you ask them. They'll probably just tell you Valves anti cheat software issued a ban without giving specific information as to what sort of cheat feature of software got detected.

Stop believing everything you read on the internet.
