You “Modified” the game’s files. This means that attempting to join a server will kick you and give you a message saying “This server is running on (version).”
The only reason you would be VAC banned for this is if you downloaded a cheat or hack of some kind.
Through all of this, it’s still impossible to play multiplayer because your game is identified as a different version due to having modified files.
From the information I gathered, it sounds like you’re cheating, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you didn’t cheat at all, contact Steam or somebody to revoke your VAC ban.
Listen man, you can tell us whatever you want and we’ll be none the wiser, but at the end of the day you need to understand that there’s nothing to be achieved in this here forum regarding lifting your ban for editing files for whatever.
Have I ever mentioned I was asking for a lift, your wrong here, I was just wondering if the ban I achieved which I will admit, was my mistake and if im gonna be punished, I will let it be but again I was wondering if it’s going to be following for the rest of nelsons games, steam punishment is enough, LEAVE ME FFS I won’t be listening any comments from now on as this is going nowhere and i’m being humiliated for my past
