    This morning I come to my computer start up Rust and an error comes up and says 'facepunch_connector_vac_banned' when i click a server.. Ive researched on other threads from other forums and it seems like the only thing I can do is buy Rust again. Its a 1 out of 100 chance (99% chance im banned for hacks which I have non of) that I gotten fake banned. (i dont know how you call it) I am wondering if there is any other way to get rust back besides buying it again or if it was a fake ban... (look me up on steam for proof of vac ban: TheDawnKiller)

    Your profile says you've been Vac banned as of 0 days ago. The chances of getting a false positive vac ban is nearly impossible. You have a better chance of winning some money from the lottery than you do getting vac banned from a false positive.

    You either cheated and don't want to admit it, or you edited a game file without realizing the consequences. Steam/Valve won't help you with that.

    If you actually think that, you clearly haven't learned a lesson and will hack and be banned again... but by all means keep handing over your money.

    It's a big sign when you're part of a accusation list as well

    I'm pretty sure if a program that detects manual injections banned you and you happened to be on part of a accusation list, it pretty much suits a nice title of "Cheater" for you, having lag would only rubber band or completely stop you, and does not levitate you into the air.

    I'm pretty sure no one is stupid enough to think lag is a fly hack, because if you're floating way above the ground; it's too easy to accuse you really.

    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)

    DawnKiller- Kids like you are laughable. Caught cheating? Oh wait, this is America.. just spend more money and deny that anything ever happened. This is a perfect example of how our up-and-coming generations take no responsibility for their actions.. like they should be coddled at every turn. MAN UP, and realize that what you did was WRONG, you were CAUGHT, you have been BANNED, and now hopefully you LEARN that cheating in a situation like this is not worth it.

    Well, I actually checked Cheatpunch to see if you're banned but it doesn't seem you are. Guess I can't be smug and point out something to raise my self esteem :C. Regardless, like mentioned before chances are that you cheated, though I have no sympathy for hackers its a shame you lost the opportunity to play.

    Lol even if you didn't cheat, it looks like you have an extensive history of greifing, according to a google search of your name, your name came up about six times in different games where you are either banned or being complained about for greifing. Even if you weren't cheating, you are a horrible player anyways.

    It used to be nearly impossible.
    Since 2013 VAC has begun doing risky stuff.

    Like sniffing out the sites you visited.

    Find a reference claiming that other than a cheat site that has every reason to make VAC look bad, or stop repeating that bullshit.

    Well I see a bunch of words, but no proof that this is how it's done, so this means nothing, my friend. Plus how do we know that code even has anything to do with VAC? pull it apart for us, explain what it is doing.

    Please give me, in your own words, a concise explanation of exactly what that disassembled code does, line by line.

    Then prove that that code's running on my system right now.

    From a trustworthy and unbiased source if you can't mentally evaluate and run code on your own.

    In layman terms.
    It calls your DNS cache and it transforms it into MD5 hashes before sending it away.

    You can find this module on your own if you catch all VAC modules when starting steam.
    There's enough info on the internet on how to do it. I won't be linking it because most results on how to do it are also providing cheat related content

    Also don't tag someone with 'dumb' if you cant understand it.

    You did it too, dumbass. And I didn't tag you dumb because I don't understand it, but because you gave NO proof, you grabbed some code, said "this is VAC, it is bad and sometimes false positives happen," with not a single word to back it up. See how that would be cause for a dumb?

    Anyway, back to the VAC discussion.
    Don't visit any sites that Valve deems not wanted.

    Better never visit any Microsoft related sites now.

    Yeah no, you don't just get to declare that argument didn't just happen with you failing to prove that the code you posted is actually in VAC.

    Still waiting for proof from a non-cheatsite source before you get to spread their FUD about Valve. Proof from unbiased sources or get fucked by a steamroller.

    Unbiased source or fuck off. Something without "hacks" in the domain name. They have every reason to spread FUD about Valve.

    I give them no credibility. These are the same sorts of sites that would have you believe every Rust VAC ban was a false positive, if that wasn't disproven by the lack of any single screenshot of Steam Support going "oops, mistake" since VAC started laying down pain in January.

    Then there's little point in linking it, because I'm not reading the posts of a community prone to bandwagoning and blowing things out of proportion while they discuss uncircumstantiated rumors intended to create privacy fears over VAC. What value would that have?

    There is another thing too, even though I was VAC banned on all the VAC protected servers, I can still connect to some servers in the modded section. The warning sign is still there though.

    I suspect he was being sarcastic about pirating. Cheaters won't have any problem using a cracked version to keep perpetuating their misery onto others. Hence, the sarcasm to wait for a cracked copy as all cheaters would use it.

    Then again, I could be dead wrong about it being sarcasm.

    I never like to be the jerk in the crowd, but I have to say... bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Another cheater gone and crying about it. As if anyone here buys into the lie, "but I didn't hack". bahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah. LOLOLOLOL.

    Wait. Sorry... Not trying to be rude or unsympathetic to your plight.

    If the truth hurts, change. Valve does not get this wrong. Has it? Sure. But what is that percentage? As someone said, your chances of winning the lottery are higher than getting a false positive. Essentially, acting like you didn't cheat makes you look and sound foolish. Grow a pair and admit the truth instead of playing games that even 10 year olds can clearly see are hogwash. I'd have more sympathy for you, if you were at least honest about things. Until then, I'm going to call it as I see it.

    Seriously, if someone said, "I cheated", and then realized it was wrong and that getting caught has hampered their ability to play and acknowledge it as a fair price to pay for their crimes... I'd be more likely to say "I hope you've learned your lesson and take it seriously going forward" with respect for someone that learned and manned up about it. As is, liars and cheaters go hand in hand. So I have two things to say...

    1) bahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah.
    2) Thanks, on behalf of Garry, for all the support you provide by purchasing so many copies....

    oh. and..... bhahahahahahahhahaha
