Today I just bought the game on steam and started on a modded server with an already playing friend. We've made a house and all, died, got our stuff taken, etc. We then left for 3 hours and when we get back I, and only I, can't join some servers because of (facepunch_connector_VAC_banned) showing, although I can join some others.
Without being vulgar, I just bought the game for 20€ and Valve just decides to take it away for no damn reason? And what, forever? Definitely? PERMANENTLY?? WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING and with apparently no damn negociations?

Now you could add a "fucking" in front of every noun of what I said and that would show how I am actually feeling right now.

[jonnymad]

No, you cheated lol

[brokengod]

That thing you used that (you thought wasn't considered cheating / said it was undetectable / your dog installed) got you banned.

Yelling at people in a forum unrelated to the ban source wont help you here.

*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 RECIEVE 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]

BOOM! proof as well.

Recent, VAC banned, sharing your name.

[babo3]

you cheated, stop selling us shit as sugar because it will not work

also, vac bans are automated, they will never be lifted and this is the wrong forum anyways

have a nice day

[Hugoz]

Yes I had another steam account before, which i cheated on rust with it, That's why I bought the game again with another account, you can check my god damn steam ID i created it today.

Lol so why are you contesting it? You posted that on a cheats site two days ago

[Hugoz]

Yup, two days ago...

I think you are full of shit, dude. There is no fake bans, or there would be a major shitstorm here. Post your old account and your new account, please.

[Hugoz]

No it's true, not so long ago I cheated, ok, i got VAC banned, regretted it, didn't be a bitch about it because it is true. But i like the game, so i still wanted to fucking play it. So i created another account today and bought it again, now what's the problem? I didn't hack on this account.

Uh, so show us your accounts then like I asked?

[SteakStyles]

Did you remove all traces of whatever got you banned the first time before making the secondary account?

Also, has Rust become THAT much of a cheat magnet that all these people are getting VAC'ed supposedly hours after purchase?

If you like the game don't cheat, thats it.

Sucks to be you! You either cheated twice, or didn't remove the cheats after the first time. Either way, it is your fucking fault.

[Spicyfish]

Looks like you're going to be buying this game several more times before you realise you're a moron for cheating and ruining everyone else's game experience.

[TP_MoonStar]

One thing that people keep forgeting is that vac ONLY ban if you use hack WITH the game. Steam dont care if you used hack before, if you have 3000 pokemon hacks in your pc. If you launch a hack with the game on a steam vac secure server you will get vac banned. There's no such thing as " i used before but i didnt use this time yet i got banned again ".

Either way, we cant help you. Noone here can as Mr.Jonny already mentioned.

PS: You'll keep getting vac banned until you fully remove the hack from your computer and stop using it.

Mr.Jonny

That was cute. Also, this guy has the right idea.

[kkslider55]

I think the fact you forgot to mention you had been banned mere days before, says all we need to know. Once a cheater always a cheater, as they say.

[Hugoz]

It is indeed my fault, but if that is how Valve work, it is fucked up. Now then, do i have to buy the game again or am i going to fucking get VAC banned again?? I just want to play the damn game god.

Buy it again, delete ALL content from Rust, then you should be fine.

Edited:

Or alternatively, never buy again and save yourself the trouble

[Hugoz]

Ugh, well thanks anyway, don't know if imma buy it again tho.

[Spicyfish]

Delete all the shit you downloaded for cheating. Uninstall Rust as Jonny has suggested to completely remove them and re-install Rust again.

Good thing, too. One less cheater to worry about toodaloo!

Two simple rules to NOT get vac banned :

1 - Dont download/use hacks.
2 - Dont forget to follow the damn rule number 1.

Since you already got banned ( TWICE ) you obviously forgot rule number 1 and assuming you are telling the truth that you indeed didnt intentionally used hack this time you'll problably have to clean the entire system in order to make sure you are clean before even buying the game again. I would honestly just format the pc and play clean.

However if you are lying and you're still trying to use hacks.. well good luck :P you'll get banned over and over again and to be fair its not valve that its fucked up. Maybe someday you'll beat the record of getting banned after 3h of rust.

Either way good luck and thanks for supporting rust devs.

But there's one more thing, i can't join the server (EU1 Battlefield) i was playing on along with other servers but i can join other servers like EU2 Battlefield, which i'm pretty sure is VAC protected.

So go play there and stop complaining? is it really that hard?

[Hugoz]

Um, okay... I just wanted to know why

Well don't wonder anymore since you are banned and it really doesn't matter at this point.

[mrcodyh]

Did you or did you not uninstall whatever got you banned the first time?

[draco]

+1 for Format system and re-purchase game, Garry loves repeat buyers!

[M4MK3]

make sure to pay for the premium aimbot or else you can get detected

[Neurojazz]

I found the only to really clean the computer was to immerse it in water.

VAC bans are per game. As long as you don't cheat in Battlefield, you can join VAC Battlefield servers.

Let me correct this one okay because there are missing parts over here:

Today I just bought the game on steam and started on a modded server with an already playing friend. We've made a house and all, died, got our stuff taken, etc. We then left for 3 hours and when we get back I, and only I, can't join some servers because of (facepunch_connector_VAC_banned) showing, although I can join some others.

Here is the extended edition:
Today I just bought the game on steam and started on a modded server with an already playing friend. We've made a house and all, died, got our stuff taken, etc. We then left for 3 hours and i Google'd "free rust cheats" because i was so mad ,we lost all our stuff and we found one an decided to download it.We tried to inject that into the game and when we get back I, and only I, can't join some servers because of (facepunch_connector_VAC_banned) showing, although I can join some others

This is the true story of Hugoz
