Reed EVERYTHING....even the information contained within the links.

1 VAC ban on record | Info
3 day(s) since last ban


That is not an Overwatch ban and VAC does not use reports to ban accounts.

VAC bans are delayed from the time of the detection to the time that the ban is actually applied. What you were doing when the ban was applied, is irrelevant.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4044-qdhj-5691

all VAC bans come from the detection of a known cheat, whether it is used on the account itself or some sort of sharing has occurred (account, library or phone number).

Users are responsible for the security of the account and all activity on the account.


Can I appeal my VAC ban?
No. VAC bans cannot be appealed. If a VAC ban is issued incorrectly it will be automatically removed after investigation, but Steam Support does not manually remove VAC bans applied to accounts for any reason.

I've never once cheated in this game.

That is the only reason for a VAC ban. It doesn't mean you cheated either, it means that cheats were detected. It doesn't matter who cheated on the account, it could have been you or someone else.

EDIT
That's why I said read everything, which you didn't.

That's not even possible, unless overwolf is a "cheat"

Overwolf doesn't cause a VAC ban either

You do know that if you get A majority disruptive in overwatch you get a vac automatically right?

If you want information, read everything. Don't just skim through because you want to reply. Read the information contained in the links as well.

This is what happened to your account...

If your account had a GAME ban but it is now a VAC ban, then that means that both anti-cheat systems (Overwatch and VAC) determined that the account was cheating. The VAC ban takes precedence on the profile.

Game bans have nothing to do with VAC or this forum.


BUT in this circumstance, having the ban change from a GAME ban to a VAC ban is as certain as anything in life, the account was caught cheating, as mentioned above.

In case you doubt the authenticity of what I just wrote, here is a Steam moderator saying the same thing, right before he locks the thread:

Just to clarify so there is no room to speculate. A game ban which is an Overwatch ban, ONLY gets replaced with the VAC ban if VAC detects the cheat as well.

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:

Using chat programs like X-Fire or Overwolf <---------------------------------
System hardware configurations
Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers

When he made the threatd, his profile was not private and he had a different avatar. So, he knows he was caught....lol just another person coming in here with old excuses, hoping they'll work.

Wow...

This above is incorrect. VAC has absolutely nothing to do with Overwatch. If both systems ban the account, then both systems caught the account cheating.

This below is correct. The amount of misinformation flying around about these systems is incredible.

Major disruptive does usually end up with a vac in addition, though, to be fair. It doesn't CAUSE that to happen, no. But it's pretty painful to have such a visible cheat that people point, laugh, and then you get slapped with a vac on top of game ban.

I think most of that is just our perception here, because we see it so much due to VAC also detecting their cheats once Overwatch also convicts the account. I could be wrong, but that's my take.
