MoreSo as of two days ago me and 5 of my 8 friends have been VAC banned. We've been playing on mainly one Multiplay server.After about 3-4 days of building we were doing quite well,we had a small house hidden on the back side a mountain and only got raided twice(no clippers assume since we hadnt lost any metal doors) which wasnt a big deal. As we played a lot of us had common glitches occurring,Glitching back to where i just was,or walking into an invisible wall and getting stuck, or more common just going up hill then all the sudden falling threw the map to our deaths.We understand its an alpha but after that latest patch i got stuck on the corner of a tree and then my screen spazed and i was vac banned. Similar case for my 5 other friends. one was at the crafting table and fell threw the floor and then was DC'ed and Vac banned.
I've also had two friends from my steam list who i dont play with that much complain that they got banned after an admin tp'd them to him. Will anything be done or do each one of us have to appeal to VAC for this?

Appeal the ban with valve. Maybe if you are lucky you will get unbanned.
Most likely not.
-
VAC scans your memory and DLL stuff.
If you got VAC banned, then not for tp'ing.
You used a cheat. Deal with it.
btw: Your Steam profile seems to be invalid. Add a valid ID, please.
-
Garry said himself that no one is going to get unbanned, I wish I could find the thread to quote it for you. But you cheated, you got banned fair and square.
VAC only detects modifications to .DLL's and .EXE's, the "teleport" or "bug" excuse doesn't work on anyone.
-
i'm admin and i tp myself all day long, so if tp could generate a vac ban i would be banned.
so... are you another cheater lying?
-
thats my correct name in my profile,dont know whats wrong on your end.
-
You should click on it yourself to verify.
Right under your post count.

gj vac

We all got dc'ed all the time when just walking around randomly.But i guess ill just appeal then. Non of us cheated,we played on a very low pop server with its top being 10 people so we could just build and kill each other. there were maybe 2-3 people on the server we played on who werent us. two of which were admins.

Is this you Xcrona ? http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198019441239

-

Edited:
THERE IT IS! and yah one moment
EDIT: Its on public now
-
I like it when people post shit like that here as if random players can somehow unban them.
-
You can appeal for a VAC ban??
-
I like it when cheaters pretend like they weren't cheating.
Because VAC has a notorious history of permabanning non-cheaters.
I'm sure he didn't have anything injected. I'm sure he's just a friendly guy.
Every single person I've seen who got banned in that wave were *notoriously* cheating.
Try to appeal with steam. They almost never overturn bans though.
-
You can try to, but you're not going to get unbanned.

(User was banned for this post ("image macro" - postal))

Blast to the past man.

You get dc'ed when you speedhack, or super jump. It's a kick, and it's automatic. It can happen on accident if you get stuck in certain objects (like a rock). But since it happened "all the time", I have to assume you are a cheater.
-
What's unclear about it? You cheated, you got banned. Should have thought about it before you wasted your money.
-
There have actually been cases of legitimate players being VAC banned in Rust. When you are lagged out, if you hit F1, it will actually say "Facepunch kick speedhacks".
Apparently, this is logged and may result in a VAC ban.
As for VAC bans never being overturned, this is not the case. Here is an example of someone who was wrongly VAC banned on Rust who had it overturned:
https://twitter.com/playrust/status/421253814860005376
A lot of people will jump to the conclusion that a VAC ban means you were cheating by default, as if VAC is completely infallible. As you can see, this is not the case. Hack detection is a necessity, but it seems that whatever programming they have used to detect it in Rust is overzealous and results in false positives. Admins teleporting also used to result in a DC, with the console message also being "kicked for speedhacks".
And before people jump all over me, my account is still in good standing (8 years without incident). I'm not defending hackers, simply stating that "you must have cheated so you got banned" is not necessarily the right attitude all of the time.
-
Ahem, Keemstar was actually caught hacking in Rust and other games on multiple occasions.
-
I still can't (and won't) believe that VAC does wrong bans.
Off-Topic:
Actually I wanted to ask if a VAC ban is legit because it's only mentioned on the loading screen, but not on the shop site. But we can strike this out because I just saw it's on the shop site now.
When did they add the VAC on the site? With the last update? hehe
-
In MW2 thousands of people got vac banned for no reason. So yes it could happen. However I haven't seen a vast number of people claim they aren't cheating.
-
Any links to proof? The ban was, in fact, lifted, so...
There have been instances in the past where VAC has been wrong. For instance, they have lifted over 500 bans for MW2 due to complaints, and there was a HL1 mod that would, for some reason, trigger VAC to ban sourcegold on your account despite being a single player mod.
-
Maybe they used any kind of mod?
However personally I would never defend any CoD player. But sure it's not fair if a player with a normal client gets banned.
And even if it's true what you said, why they play it then? I would never touch a game with a ban rate like this (I wouldn't touch CoD anyway but thats not the point :P ).
Edit:
What do you mean with complaints? But the people were able to proof their innocence?
-
I promise. More people cheat than you can even comprehend. I work at a collocation facility that hosts several "Tripple A" titles, and you have no concept for how many auto logged, repeated violations of game physics we see. You have *no idea*. One of the games silently captures a screen shot at random intervals and stores it for review. ESP is so common it borders on completely unbelievable. If not ESP, than model replacement/"hacking" is easily #2.
If I had to guess, more than 70% of the player base in WarZ was ESP'ing at one point.
Though, I firmly believe a large number of people who would never cheat, play games they enjoy and become so frustrated with the people who cheat to ruin the game that they end up trying to one up the cheaters just to protect themselves.
I wouldn't do it, but I don't think I could ever blame them. If you're trying really hard to play legitimately, and you're continuously obliterated by people who refuse.... well I'm sure a lot of people can't just "zen garden" it out of their minds.

You can't hate on CoD if you play Rust.
-
What? Why?
CoD and Rust are 2 different worlds.
-
They're both shitWhat? Why?
CoD and Rust are 2 different worlds.

its not a vac ban its sever ban go play on another server
-
I didn't expect that you would say this about Rust. huh
But everyone has his own preferences.
b2t: Do anyone know a legit statistic about VAC and it bans?
Edit:
@Unemphatic
Thats his SteamID (he said)
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198019441239
So it seems he got VAC banned.
But you're right. There are also people who think they got a VAC ban although it was only for one server.

Just dropping this here.

I'm thinking there's a lot of people who modified their files to clip through doors VAC banned, and these people thought since they didn't use a program to do it they weren't "full blown hacking". Good riddance I say.
I've been recording the steam profiles and ID's of suspected script kiddies on my server to pass on to the admin to help out, and looking through them today at least 70% of them have been VAC banned in the latest wave.
-
Oh god, now that you posted this everyone is going to be spamming @playrust on twitter trying to get unbanned. Especially the hackers.
-
VAC can't have false bans?
Puhleaseee.. Go read about punkbuster, way more focused on anticheats and even they have had false bans - see Nov 2013 for battlefield 4. To say false bans isn't possible is ignorant at best.

Im not one to defend hackers, but a large amount of hackers at least have some intelligence when it comes to hacking, like say, making a new account for every game. i noticed this OP has 125 games, is level 8 on steam, has over a hundred friends, and has thousands of playtime hours, now why would he ruin that?
With the amount of false positives from vac over the years, it is honestly so hard to believe that not every ban is legit... its an automated program, regardless of what its designed to do its not perfect.
i personally just dont think someone would be dumb enough to do that. but ill probably be wrong, and he probably hacked.
-
VAC isn't Punkbuster, Valve isn't EA.
You can't compare a great company like Valve with EA.
Edit: Ok Punkbuster isn't made by EA, it's made by Even Balance. But still, EA is using it the most. :P
-
Don't compare a anti-cheat that detected itself with a anti-cheat that has very little history on False positives.
Valve will go out of their way to unban anyone falsely banned, and fix any serious issues on the double.
If this guy REALLY wants to be unbanned, then he needs to talk to Valve, and even then they probably won't even unban him since there are a ton of hackers riddling rust right now anyway.
IF it really is a False-positive then only the developers would be at fault, and almost every single user on rust would be banned (Which didn't happen)
-
That's not how vac works.
no it wasn't lol. You guys gotta quit saying this. If you look just a bit further on in the twitter feed you'll see them reply to another guy and say that keem's ban wasn't a false positive.
