CS2 False Ban - Anything I can do?

[TheGraciousGoat]

Hello,

I have just recently got into CS2, and woke up this morning to a VAC ban. Is there any way to appeal it at all? I am 100 percent positive it is false. Never even thought to of used a cheat in my life, the only thing I have done recently is download the FACEIT anticheat to play FACEIT before I got to level 10 for premier. I am wondering if that caused any issues with the ban? I have the valorant anti cheat always running and have played thousands of hours of that and never been banned. That is because I do not cheat, or run any cheating software. Is there anything I can do to appeal this?


EDIT:

Looks like it is a false ban confirmed by CS2 Twitter - https://twitter.com/CounterStrike/status/1712875606776729832

Same story for me. I am waiting already 14 days for Valve to respond. They have some problems in system for sure! Never cheated or used any sus programs...

Me too, get VAC banned, I never cheats

I am seeing a lot of people saying online it could be an AMD issue. Do you have an AMD card by chance? I have the 7900xtx.

I have the same problem and have never cheated. I hope there is a solution to the problem in a timely manner!

So yeah. Pretty obvious that the account was used to cheat.

That will probably be the problem!

System specs are irrelevant. VAC detects cheats. It doesn't care what kind of hardware you have.

I don't think so, if anyone with a 7900 XTX had the problem as well. Maybe there are problems with the driver

Video drivers also do not cause VAC bans. This is an old excuse that has never worked.

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:
System hardware configurations.
Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers.

Amazing that people now think they can appeal VAC bans.

Then explain to me how I could be banned without using cheats? I am 31 years old and I certainly don't need to use cheats to prove myself to anyone.

BS

Even Valve tells you that video drivers and hardware does not cause a VAC ban.

Accounts are used to cheat, it doesn`t matter who used the account to cheat.

Why was I VAC banned?
VAC bans are applied when an account, or an account using the phone number tied to other accounts, connects to a VAC-secured server while running cheat software.

Valve Anti-Cheat regularly checks the game files of all users connected to Valve's servers to ensure third party software is not being used which gives players an advantage. If software of this kind is detected a VAC ban will be issued.

Can you tell me what program or software caused my VAC ban?
No. We do not disclose the cheats that were detected while connected to a VAC-secured server that resulted in a VAC ban. We have detailed records for each VAC ban, however, releasing this information would only benefit cheat developers. The VAC team regularly investigates claims of false VAC bans to increase the effectiveness of Valve Anti-Cheat.
