Why vac banned
While playing CS: GO, I suddenly received a VAC ban. I didn't use any cheats or anything like that. I bought an elite membership, and after that, I got the VAC ban. What could be the reason? 1400 day

And are you wondering about that after over 1400 days?

Vac ban = known cheat detected.
You will not find out more from us or support.

I am constantly asking, there is nothing in the name of cheating on my computer, I have been unfairly banned for 1400 days, I am looking for my right, I was banned without evidence, let them prove it, then I should not make a sound.

How do you know you've been banned without evidence?

VAC doesn't ban for fun or coincidence, but when known cheats were detected, which was definitely the case after all this time.
You won't get the evidence of this from support, as this can help cheaters to bypass the system.

There was a cheater during the match, I reported him, the match is over, I go back in the morning, it says vac ban, this has nothing to do with me, there was an amd processor I

VAC does not commit collective punishment. Playing with or against a cheater won't ban you.

The ONLY reason for a VAC ban is the detection of a KNOWN cheat on a system that was in use by your account while connecting to a VAC secured server. No other reason.

Appealing is futile.

Let them tell me what could be the reason for the ban, what can be the trick in a zero computer?

The reason is always cheating. You won't get more details because those details would help cheaters and cheat developers make it easier to find out why and where they got detected.

I sent it by e-mail, I'm waiting for an explanation because the system bans amd processors, I don't have a fault

Valve does not do e-mail support.

Also, if you used their help site to create a help request, you will get the same answers we provided for you.

Who did you email? Support is unlikely, you can only reach it via a ticket.

As I said, this won't help you, they'll just give you the standard rate from the information from your vac ban.

Is this right because the processor amd is my fault in this?

Hardware defects do not cause VAC bans, only cheats do.

You definitely didn't get a vac ban from this.

AMD's latest driver has made their "Anti-Lag/+" feature available for CS2, which is implemented by detouring engine dll functions.

If you are an AMD customer and play CS2, DO NOT ENABLE ANTI-LAG/+; any tampering with CS code will result in a VAC ban.

Once AMD ships an update we can do the work of identifying affected users and reversing their ban.

The official statement is my fault, what if I cheated, why should I get an elite account?

All VAC bans from this false positive are already removed. Trying to use this driver now causes a VAC error.
