I was playing rust for a few hours tonight. A fan on my xfx rx480 was acting up so i tried messing with it (they are removeable fans) I must've pulled a little too hard because my screen went completely blank. I restarted my computer and the computer was fine but when I went to log into Rust I find that I am banned from the server that I was on. I try to log into a different server and find that I am gamebanned. I HAVE OVER 1300 HRS in Rust and haven't played since around MAY of 2017 because of personal problems I was having. I literally just started playing again a couple days ago and WAM I'm banned out of nowhere and for no reason. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE????
All game bans are permanent and future accounts will also be banned automatically.
If the ban was a false positive then it will automatically be unbanned.
Hey, can I get an actual real reply? I think that after 1300+ hours I'm deserving of someone actually looking into this rather than just some copy-pasted nonsense.
This is false information, future accounts won't be banned - They actually encourage you to stop using cheats and purchase a new account under EAC. Read TOS before giving out false information which is very misleading...
To the people saying my information is misleading. Here is the full story:
How does a VAC ban affect my phone number?
VAC bans will be applied to all accounts sharing a phone number at the time of the infraction. Accounts that do not own the game the VAC ban is for will still receive a VAC ban and won't be able to purchase the game moving forward.
The phone number on the VAC banned account(s) will be suspended for three months and cannot be added to another account during this time. If the phone number is later added to an account that receives a VAC ban, the duration of its suspension will be extended.
Note: This feature is not enabled for all games and is used at the discretion of the developer.
Source: I've been VAC banned
This doesn't mean you have been permanently banned and doesn't mean you will be instantly banned either. All this means Is you can't use steam guard with that phone number. So the statement which you made was misleading and ultimately incorrect. You can purchase Rust again and play again, without cheats and or scripting without being banned. This is the same for any steam game unless the TOS says so.
It says all accounts with the number will receive a ban if the number is linked to several accounts before the ban, you can still safely use your number after the 3 month period.
Sorry for any hassle but please be careful writing certain things.
Hope this helped the user.
