autohotkey

[masi]

So, i was playing CSS, and suddenly when i alt-tabbed back to the game i got kicked with the vac banned message, the unique reason that matches the ban is the autohotkey process that was running on the background, i clarify that the process doesnt show any unfair advantage to the game, but rather it will put me at disadvantage as a player, thanks. Anyways im not sure if this is the reason, but i assume it as no other app was in the background of my pc, and im the only one that uses the account.

1 VAC ban on record | Info <—-
1 day(s) since last ban

VAC bans are issued for the detection of a known cheat and nothing else. If a VAC ban is determined to have been issued incorrectly it will automatically be removed

However no one here or support can remove VAC bans.

No one here can tell you when or what was detected, only Valve has that info. They will not share that with you or any of us.

i guess it was the same moment, or either when i started playing. This specific autohotkey process, (that is for another game, not from valve) im sure enough that i forgot sometimes to close it, and then play a valve game, but it would be strange that they didnt banned me before so idk

Also keep in mind VAC bans are delayed. So what you were doing at the time is not what was detected. Whatever it was could have been from days, weeks, or even months ago.

I know, i have some experience with vac bans in the past, they were like hours or some, i remember. but those were totally fair. Now, in my main account (not linked with none of those) i recognize on my own that i dont cheat, but now im banned, maybe with some of luck for me ill get unbanned
