i know that this post its got nothing to do with srcds but its got to do with the source egine.

can u be vac banned for a game u didn't even have?
cause my friend put his usb on to my comp while steam was up and the usb has css hacks on it but my steam account doesn't have css but it has dods. this was about 4 weeks ago is this possaible to be banned on dods? if not what happens if i buy css and register it on my account will it get banned?

i am very worried and i need advice. i can't register on the steam website so can someone please help me.

If you're VAC banned your steam account is banned so that will be ALL games including the ones you buy later on on that same account.
Also, having hacks on your computer doesn't get you banned, you get banned when they are found in the memory while playing a game. If you are indeed banned you have used cheats ingame. You can check VAC status by going to settings in Steam.

If you're banned I suggest getting a new copy in the store make a new steam account and never use cheats again. I hope then you learned your lesson Smile

If you check when you login to steam you can see that your whole account get's Vac-banned. You won't be able to play on vac-secured servers, no matter what game, it's bound to your steamID.

Valve also mentioned it multiple times on the forums that you should NOT purchase any games on that account but buy a new account in the stores.

Ok now I lost you.

Unless you cheat in a vac secured server you will NOT be VAC-banned.
IF you cheat you will be VAC-banned within a couple of weeks.
IF you get banned your STEAM account gets the ban, not on a game.
IF you get banned it will show something else that VAC Status: In Good Standing.
IF you are banned every game you purchase afterwards on that banned account will also be banned in VAC secure servers.

In other words, don't USE cheats on SECURE servers. (better not at all actually) If you don't use them you will not get banned in any way. If you are banned purchase a new copy in the store to get a new STEAM account
