Is there possibility to get a VAC Log of my account?
I have a question, my account recently got banned on Steam, but I am trying to find out the reason why, like what game was hacked or what computer did it... I really do no know why my account has been VAC banned, I know a lot of you guys are going to say You're a cheater but honestly I do not care about you guys neither. I just want to find out how this happen because I haven't had time playing any games lately. So i wonder how my steam got VAC banned. This is sad actually, so I'd hope an admin or moderator could look into this and find out the reason why I got VAC banned instead of my profile saying info which leads me with no information at all just what VAC is. I own a company my self so I know you probably do not give out such information but its my own profile and I hope that's enough to gather information about my own VAC ban.

P.s Please take this seriously and do not write silly things as you're a cheater in the comments.:csgoa:

VAC bans for known cheat signatures and modified core files. If VAC scanned your files and picked up on something from you, that's why you're banned. You can contact Steam Support, but they will not give you specifics on what was the cause of the ban. They will only verify that it was applied correctly.

If you need more information, read the pinned thread.

Interesting as you say. I could not find anything modded to my files or file changes since the last csgo update on my computer. but I just recently installed water coolant to my pc.

Edit: I also installed CPUID HWMonitor, SpeedFan and CPU-Z was already installed, i have only seen through my stats on my computer... I didn't even have steam open. Because I need a lot of resources for my Model Editing program(Solid Edge ST5-7, Solid Works 2014, OpenSCAM, OpenSCAD, SprutCAM, and such)

Edit2: I also haven't found anything suspisious.

That has nothing to do with it (water cooling). Active cheats or modified core files get you a VAC ban. Vac bans are delayed, and not implemented immediately after flagging, so it could of been several weeks ago you got flagged.

Ban is tied to the game, so if you share your games (or account) that can do it without you personally cheating as can logging on and playing from some other computer that has cheats installed on it.

But the problem is I haven't played since secound last lan, and then it was a private server having 1vs1 match I belive i played about 3 or 4 rounds. I have my Steam on all my computers. a proximitly 4 or 5 computers mostly all of them are offline. And I do not belive in hacks neither.

I don't know what "second last Ian" means.

Server doesn't matter (beyond it being VAC secured or not) and you can jimmy with code as much as you'd like on an unsecured server. Computer matters. Running programs matter. Code changes in the program matter.

If somehow you were modifying files with an editor while you were playing that would do it. Smoke effects, walls, etc. are all considered "hacks" if you modify them.

But I have not changed any of theese files and I do not posses any of these hacks.

Then what you do is what everybody else who has no clue why they have a VAC ban does.

1) You do not play any games on VAC secured servers until you have completely wiped and done a factory reset of your hard drive.

2) You do not run anything in the background while you play the game on VAC secured servers that you aren't 100% sure will not effect files or processes or draw a VAC ban.

3) You send your ticket to Steam Support and have them check if the ban was vaild.

3a) If the ban is valid you either select unsecured servers to play on OR you make sure you have done step #1 and 2 and set up a new account and buy the game again.
