Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC)

Question
What is VAC?
VAC Bans versus Server Bans
VAC enabled games
Answer
Important:
All VAC bans are permanent - Valve has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and will not lift VAC bans under any circumstances.
What is VAC?

If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.
While server admins may choose to ban specific players, server admins cannot VAC ban players. The VAC system is automated - contacting Steam Support to report cheaters is not necessary, nor will Steam Support act on any information provided.
The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modification to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:
Using chat programs like X-Fire
System hardware configurations
Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers
Use only trusted machines to play on VAC-Secured servers - if you are not sure whether or not the machine you are using to connect to Steam may have cheats installed, do not play on VAC-Secured servers.
Use caution when installing any game modifications, such as scripts or custom skins. Only download custom content from trusted sources. Hackers sometimes maliciously disguise their cheats to cause others to get banned.

VAC Enabled Games

Please see the Steam Store Valve Anti Cheat Enabled search term.
Valve games
The Valve Anti-Cheat system is enabled for servers displaying the Secured shield logo. Using custom skins, sounds or maps and playing multi-player mods which do not modify core .EXE and .DLL files will not result in a VAC ban
Cheating in a Source Engine game that was released prior to Left 4 Dead will result in a VAC ban from Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Day of Defeat: Source, and Team Fortress 2.
Cheating in a Gold Source engine game will result in a VAC ban from Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, Ricochet, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic, Half-Life: Deathmatch, and Deathmatch Classic
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

VAC is enabled on all multiplayer servers, public and private. Any modifications to the game other than editing config files can result in a VAC ban. Examples of such modifications include but are not limited to console enablers, VAC disablers, and server hosting mods.
A VAC ban in Modern Warfare 2 only affects Modern Warfare 2.

VAC Bans versus Server Bans

The best indicator that your account has been banned by VAC is if you receive this message when attempting to access a VAC-secure server:
"Your connection to this secure server has been rejected. Because of past cheating violations, you have been banned from playing on all secure servers"
If you receive an error message stating "STEAMID IS BANNED" (or other similar messages) when attempting to connect to a server, your account is not banned by VAC - server administrators may ban you from a particular server (we cannot prevent this - whoever runs the server can ban players for any reason they desire).
If you find that you are banned from a large number of servers but your VAC status is in good standing, you have likely been banned by a third-party ban tool, such as Steambans or Punkbuster. These third-party tools are used by a large number of servers sharing a common database of banned ID's. These tools are unrelated to Steam and we cannot assist you in resolving this issue.
You will not be banned by the VAC system unless you login to a VAC-secure server with a cheat installed on your computer.

you just copied and paste something and did not understand it thoroughly.
02/01/2012 16:09 Dark Cube#5
@shemgwapo
then tell me what did you understand in my post.
02/01/2012 16:17 shemgwapo#6
you should have considered the keywords that you posted. "Valve/Steam" and "KIXEYE" and there's the games mentioned. i dont think i need to elaborate more right?
02/01/2012 16:26 Dark Cube#7
my point is i think kixeye is using this kind of method in banning our account, and i copy and paste this to know where i get this info and some of us can help analyze what are they using to detect our account for banning.... now if you know some other solution how will be able to know what they are using and to counter it for soultion, post it and just dont argue with me if you think what i post is useless.

dont take it to the heart. i just voiced out what came out of mind my after reading your post. you even thanked a guy that posted a link to steam banned account checker. so i thought that you didnt actually read what you posted nor check out the link that he gave out.
02/01/2012 18:02 Dark Cube#9

02/03/2012 04:11 bm_imba#13
guy's DC posted this info for members who can extend help in any way. he is working really hard to take kixeye from the neck up, and he is taking the more complex part so let just support him or like what i said extend support in any possible way. Les latest work was just fixed, that could have been history in hacking the game but she'll keep on working anyway(1 of the few true-cold blooded hacker of the game, i bet you can name the other 2).xvpunisher007vx will always keep us updated no matter what so i'd say<LET US ALL BE HOPEFUL< GIVE OUR SUPPORT<EXTEND OUR HELP.
