VAC Banned for no reason periodically

30cm dinner plate 2 Jul @ 11:37am

I only play casual, have 3000 something hours and have never as much as considered cheating in a game as I come from a first world country and had two parents. As of the last few months and again just now, every couple of weeks or so I get booted mid-game for no reason and locked out for a period of time that is shorter than it takes for me to forget the Valve service experience, then next session everything is back to normal and I'm playing with no ban or apparent record of it. These bans always occur when I'm putting up decent numbers and I've seen this happen to others in game who I know don't cheat at all as well as pros like Flom recently. This is especially infuriating when you're in a lobby with gripers who like to claim everyone is cheating and then they see a random VAC kick and feel validated to continue the constant grief. When this started I did the troubleshooting and reinstalling everything etc but how much homework fixing Valve's problem am I willing to do when I can just come back in a few hours? There are still clearly as many cheaters in the game as ever and if anything they are more enabled by this garbage algorithm randomly kicking whomever instead of them, and as for the actual cheaters, do they also just get to come back on a few hours after spin-botting and do it again? What exactly do you think Valve's strategy is here? If there's a permanent solution anyone knows other than just putting the game down until I forget how much it sucks please reply.

That account isn't VAC banned.

VAC error.

Something on your PC, is interfering with VAC. Since it is your PC, only you can fix it. No one here has any idea what is on your PC or how it is configured.

VAC bans are permanent. They do not happen periodically.

The issue is that it's not just me but on average I see a player every match or two getting booted just like this for hours at a time. It's not a client-end problem when it's happening on that scale and if it was then what is the mystery shrouded VAC solution, especially when these bans happen due to the current in-game performance of the player? I just now was booted from a game just as I sat down to play in warmup of a casual match: I ran to the enemy spawn and hit like 5 or 6 headshots with a MAG 7 then got kicked. Not a minute of gameplay before being locked out of the game for hours. I don't care if you call it a ban or an error, who cares, I just want to be able to play my mainstay game when I'd like to for as long as I please, like literally any other game I've ever played. How could this be an issue with my computer when I've never been kicked when I'm playing poorly (most often), only when I'm playing aggressively and ripping a few kills off? It's 100% clearly an automated decision based on the player's input. I'm surprised all the other players this affects don't complain more, is this supposed to be the norm with VAC now?

What is the exact message you get when getting kicked?

If you're not going to read the replies, then there is zero sense in you making a thread here. Click the link and read the information that I gave you. It is not a ban. It is an error. Only you can fix it. Don't assume that you know what the issue is, because if you actually knew what the issue was, you wouldn't have made this topic, correct? Correct? Correct.

It is an issue with your computer. You have two choices. You can try to fix the issue, or you can continue to think that it is not your PC and you will continue to get the error. Which will not fix your problem. It's up to you.

whole long story. but at the same time sounds like a vac error/disconnected by vac, if not then a global cooldown.

Yes sir kicked off the game twice in the last two days for several hours at a time and how can I complain when I've only been kicked off of this game a handful of times over the last month or two. You know what, over all this time I've learned to appreciate both the transparency and the effectiveness of the VAC system and I know when my number is drawn by the algorhythm that I am saving some other random player the frustration and confusion of the whole ordeal. I can barely even stand playing games that are lazily programmed to be played and enjoyed at any time and for how long as one may like and the randomness of the process really plays into my gambling addiction. I can still open cases and buy skins though, thank Gaben! There are only one or two hackers in every lobby now so I think the ends justify the ridiculous means, can't wait til I'm allowed to play my game in a few hours!

Guess it's time for you to find out what on YOUR end is kicking you off the game and causing VAC errors.

Time to start reading and troubleshooting.

Old story. I've been kicked out of the game by VAC 4-5 times. The only software I have is an emulator and I play Clash of Clans on it. FC anti cheat. WinRar. Nothing else on this computer. And every time Vac has thrown an error that I have to validate the files. And it's been going on for a long time. I've noticed many players, too many, with that error.

And the Logitech driver. Supplement.

Something is still interfering with VAC or you wouldn't still be getting the error.

It is on the user's end.

It's nothing to do with the software. It's probably WIN 11 that's playing a role. The emulator service is not active and I have nothing else. Sometimes I just close the emulator window and play and nothing happens. VAC is not compatible with WIN services. I repeat that I've seen this with many players. So these are not statistical errors.

That specifically tells you that it is something on your PC. If you're going to continue to disregard correct information, then there was absolutely no reason for you to post here.

You're welcome to continue to blame whatever you like, but you will also continue to have problems.

Ne krivim ja nikoga , samo želim pomoći . Ima VAC više problema nego Vi to znate . A provjera fajlova ionako traje par minuta . Trzanje puške i paljba sama od sebe , Klizanje i nađete se na drugom mjestu . I još par stvari . Dakle , radi samo Steam+plus CS2 . I naravno Windos servisi . Gubljenje zvuka i nestajanje . Ubijanje protivnika u tim trenucima . Ma ;-) . Ne može bios biti postavljen na defaultne postavke kada znamo što FC anti chet zahtjeva . To je valjda jasno . Virtualizacija mora biti uključena zbog emulatora . I na kraju krajeva , računala u mojem stanu složili su profesionalci u rangu vaših i neki mnogo bolji . 157 ih radi u tvrtci koja radi specijalizirani softwer . I tu se vrti ogroman novac . Nije to CS2 kojeg plačaš i trošiš novac a igraš sa 30-40 % varalica . Plačaš uslugu i što dobiješ ? Ozbiljna tvrtka bi propala da tako radi . Kraj priče .

P.S.Odgovor nije potreban .

One more time. It is not a problem with VAC. It is a problem with your computer. You are not helping anyone because you can't even help yourself by fixing the problem and acknowledging that the problem is indeed on your end.

Valve is not responsible for the crap that is on your computer. You are.

CS2 Is free. You didn't pay for anything. Stop talking nonsense and fix your computer. That is the only way this issue goes away. Blaming Valve and making up nonsense solves nothing.
