My connection is banned , I got this message after I was changing the shadow quality in the options ,then the engine crashed with the error "chad keeps" , since then I keep getting the same message that my connection is banned.

I do not cheat and would never do so.I was in the middle of recording a rust series for youtube when this happened.

Would really appreciate to have my connection unbanned asap.

best wishes

[GETCH]

Is this resolved? my account got facepunch_connect_vac_banned
i know you've heard it before... I do not hack, never will will and do not ever condone that behavior. I played the game for about 3hrs off and on... launch game and try to connect to a server and the message above gets pumped out to console.

My steam account is over 10 years old and I have only used one alias ever.
People in the community know me as GETCH. I do not hack.

This was posted before the game was even on Steam. You shouldn't have hacked.

Nice bump you stupid jackass. Also you did cheat, a VAC ban is no accident, it means you fucked about with things that should not have been fucked about with. If you REALLY think this was some freak accident, post your steam profile

[GETCH]

Think what you like. I know I did not hack.
Is there documentation on the message I received? What caused it, etc?

1 VAC ban(s) on record | Info
0 day(s) since last ban

*Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) System info*

1. Abusive Admins, New Cheats, and Cheat Websites

2. Reporting Suspected Cheaters

3. I've Been Banned

4. Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC)

Important:
All VAC bans are permanent - Valve has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and will not lift VAC bans under any circumstances.

facepunch does not control valve anti cheat, posting a thread will not receive any results of any kind.

vac does not ban because of glitching in the game.

vac works by detecting active modifications to the game, while connected to a vac secure server.

there is no such thing as "instantly being banned out of the blue". vac bans in waves, if vac goes off, it will mark your account and ban later.

false positives exist however are extremely rare, and false bans will be lifted. they will naturally happen in bulk.

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.

You will not be banned by the VAC system unless you login to a VAC-secure server with a cheat installed on your computer. (and only when you're actually using it)

[jonnymad]

Well at least you didn't lie about the 10 year old account... Did you download any programs and add them to your rust client by any chance?

[GETCH]

I did not add anything to the client.

[jonnymad]

Contact Steam Support, we can't help you.

[LordCrypto]

also you said you played for 3 hours

why is your time played 13.7

13.7 is a pretty big leap from 3

[GETCH]

Is there documentation on the actual message? I am curious why it has Facepunch_connect before the VAC_Banned portion. I would think if it is just VAC, only valve/vac would be in the message.

On a fact finding mission as well as seeking others that have had this same issue.

Cut it out with the flaming bullshit; it accomplishes nothing. The report button exists for a reason.

cause it's facepunch checking your vac status???

vac tripped you, but it's up to the game to actually recognize it

[GETCH]

Thanks LordCryto, you were the first to answer that rather than just say guilty as charged.

As if I didn't report him too.

[GETCH]

I'm being reported? To who, for what?

to a friendly facepunch studios forum moderator for bumping a 10 month old thread??

[GETCH]

Sorry, I did a search for the problem I was having. This one matched the closest. But thank you for your help, please do report it. I wonder if I get banned here too. Again for absolutely no reason.

Thanks for your help, lack there of, insults and inquiries.

It still doesn't give you the right to call someone a "stupid jackass."

best part is the issue isn't even the same and it was presteam so its so obviously not related
