CS:GO Vac banned (edit: STEAM ASNWER)

You should contact support.

You should probably contact steam support. No one here can help you in any way.

Sorry to hear that. But i would try contacting steam. maybe you were doing so good that someone reported you for cheating :/ lol.

Ow, that's terrible. Try contacting Steam's support.

Are you completely sure that you didn't cheat?

wow... that blows
im actually pissed along with you for this D:<

Do you use family sharing? If you do, and someone that plays CSGO from your library cheats, you both get banned.

Less than a month ago bunch of CS GO players got VAC'd by accident and their bans were lifted shortly after, maybe it's happening again. Anyway it would make more sense to contact Steam support or open a topic in r/GlobalOffensive for some advice

You probably visited site that offers cheats or installed program that you shouldn't. VAC ban is not connected with player reports, its automatic now!

A mistake is very unlikely.
Contact support, tell them to check the ban. If its a false positive it will be removed.

Does someone else have access to your account?

It could be SAM or other doubtful program simply working in a background mode during game which Steam counted as cheat.

I'm sorry for your mates in the competive match.

VAC uses a delayed ban system. So if you cheated a few weeks or months ago, then it is possible that you got banned only now. You don't have to be cheating at that moment to get banned.

If you're really sure you never used a cheat before, then contact Steam support.

This happened to me once many years ago (in Counter-Strike Source.) I was stumped. However, the next day, everything returned to normal. I have no idea what happened, probably some glitch in Valve's systems. I just hope it will be the same for you :-/

Or maybe you are using some strange utility when running the game and got detected as a cheat? (Maybe something like the SMAA injector for SMAA anti-aliasing, or some ENB injector or some OSD, or some third-party anti-cheat tool like the one from easyanticheat.net, or anything like that.) When contacting support, you should tell them exactly what you are using along with download links to those utilities.

all VAC bans are final (even if they're wrong - though I don't think it could be wrong. there must be something on your PC that triggered VAC)

contact steam support first

Once VAC banned two of my TF2 idle accounts at the same time for reasons unknown. Half a year later both bans were lifted, I didn't ask support.

This is why you turn off all the unnecessary bullshit, that runs in the background when playing a VAC secured game.

VAC scans the memory, active connections (for DRM secured hacks) and file signatures of your Steam and game files.

To get unbanned you'll need literally a fuck ton of luck and a friendly support guy who is willing to look into your issue.
But be warned, in 99.9999% of all cases they'll basically tell you to "fuck off".
They won't provide you any info on when VAC has flagged you or what exactly triggered your VAC ban.

Also scan your PC for malware.

Don't give up after the first Steam Support message.

or just dont cheat

You have been VAC banned you can say good bye to your items and to that account, they're not going to remove the ban

Are you reasonably good at the game? Perhaps someone reported you (CS:GO is completely full of people accusing each other of hacking) and the players that reviewed your replay (to see if they thought you were hacking) made a mistake and thought you were aimbotting or wall hacking. Personally I've only marked one replay as "hacking" because it was obvious. If I have any doubt, I voted that they probably weren't.

Don't run anything in the background that could look like a memory editor or cheat tool. I would only run a game and maybe music, perhaps chrome at once. One game, nothing else using Steam overlay, no idling other games for cards, nothing that could be mistaken for a cheat tool, even if you're not actively using it.

you use any software for mouse? like Bloody? If so, they can cause VAC ban.
