I don't understand the vacban system.

Can anyone tell me why the cheat is disabled and however it works with the VAC? How does the vacbane wave works and so on

vac scans multiple things.

some ppl even think (i dont know if its true or not) that vac runs even if your game is off but not when steam is off.

if vac is scanning and "sees" the cheat client, and they know which client isnt allowed, than your name is on the blacklist.

after an x amout of time (1day - 1 month) everyone on that "list" gets banned at the same time.

with this way, they can collect more hackers and ban them all together, why? just bcs of this situation right now.

ppl got banned, chod disabled the cheat instantly.

if they wouldnt ban in waves, the first couple ppl who get vaced report it and save others account by telling it asap.

volvo isnt stupid

anything else i can try to explain?

PS the cheat is disabled so noone, who isnt active on the forums, uses the cheat while its detected.

But how often is the "clients" getting detected, like chods?

Can't see the fun, if i buy it and only play 1 game and then get banned. I would play very "legit" and get so many games i could.. but how often do ppl get vac? and how often is the vacban wave hitting "our" cheat..

its not possible to say how long something will be undetected.

if vac thinks they have to "attack" chod than they do it.. as far as i heared chod has a new way of detecting vac-internal-updates.. so i guess it will be undetected for pretty long.. time will tell.

btw how you play doesnt effect how fast you get banned by vac. overwatch looks at your playstyle. vac checks shit u ahve running on your pc.
