[HYPEBEAST9]

WTFFFF Why am I vac banned from rust , i didnt use any cheats no macros no nothing and im banned.Before this happened i was getting kicked from games, i though i was getting kicked from games because the game was laggy i would get these random huge lag spikes which would rubber band me like a mile away. Any ways is there a fix for this. Please help

VAC doesn't make mistakes. You probably know why you've been banned. Read this thread for more information.

Ya but i didnt use any cheats.Before there would also be lag spikes and i would just really high, this happened to me and my friend . Thats probably why. Can they unban me or something.

[Pyroman]

All VAC bans are permanent. I doubt that you'll be unbanned.

[HYPEBEAST9]

Can i get my money back ?

[Pyroman]

No.

[HYPEBEAST9]

What are some solutions

[FFL2and3rocks]

Create a new Steam account, buy the game again, and don't cheat.

You can ask them to doublecheck your ban, but that's all you can really do. You can't get your money back.

VAC doesn't ban because of lag spikes, it searches for things like known cheats or modified game files. Are you sure you didn't download or edit something, not knowing it would count as a cheat?

You don't, just like other services like X-Box Live, when you sign up for an account/use a service you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of that service - if you violate those terms (swearing, harassment, illegal selling, cheating etc.) your account is banned. If you can't play nice/not cheat, then find a different game/hobby.

That's quite a claim. While I think VAC is probably in the region of 97% accurate with its bans, it absolutely does make mistakes. Mistakes have been documented in the past, and they will continue to occur in a tiny minority of cases because there is no such thing as bug-free software.

Even if it's 99.9% accurate, that means 1 in every 1000 bans is unjust.

Well, it's true. As I know, a lot of false-positive detections happened about 7 times.

Maybe you didnt cheated but someone who knew your password might did

it's usually around about now they admit they had cheat engine running while playing a game but weren't actually using it to hack...

I hope you weren't sharing rust with your friend via family sharing. VAC now bans family share owner accounts if the game borrower cheats.
