VAC Banned... - Rust - Facepunch Forum

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.

Yes, that is correct.

[QUOTE=TheDawnKiller;43931038]so that means ill have to make a new account ans buy it again? -_-[/QUOTE] 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.

[QUOTE=Zet;43931055]Yes, that is correct.[/QUOTE] ok thanks, but what if i traded my a free game on the alt for rust on my main, wouldnt i be able to play rust on my alt? [editline]16th February 2014[/editline] i hate it when someone gets banned everyone immediately thinks theyve hacked...

have you ever thought of lag? because zombie kept raging and acusing me for the hacks when it was lag or rage the others on his list idk about

[QUOTE=TheDawnKiller;43931222]have you ever thought of lag? because zombie kept raging and acusing me for the hacks when it was lag or rage the others on his list idk about[/QUOTE] 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.

[QUOTE=lolo;43931181]It's a big sign when you're part of a accusation list as well 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.

haha noob

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.

[QUOTE=Zet;43931003]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.[/QUOTE] It used to be nearly impossible. Since 2013 VAC has begun doing risky stuff. Like sniffing out the sites you visited.

[QUOTE=Andendumwel;43932892]It used to be nearly impossible. Since 2013 VAC has begun doing risky stuff. Like sniffing out the sites you visited.[/QUOTE] Find a reference claiming that other than a cheat site that has every reason to make VAC look bad, or stop repeating that bullshit.

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.

Plus how do we know that code even has anything to do with VAC? pull it apart for us, explain what it is doing.[/QUOTE] 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. :v:

[QUOTE=Andendumwel;43933028] Also don't tag someone with 'dumb' if you cant understand it. :v:[/QUOTE] 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. :v:

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.

I asked on the VAC discussion forums and my thread got deleted without any notice.

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 you have to wait until Monday. When the media starts kicking again. EDIT: in the meantime you can read this [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1y0kc1/vac_now_reads_all_the_domains_you_have_visited/?top[/url]

Love the taste of FUD, mmm-mm. Reddit is not exactly the best source around here, either. They have a tendency to bandwagon and blow everything out of proportion and inject drama into everything.
