VALVe VAC Ban history #357

Hello Maarten,

Sorry for asking this here, but has there ever been a VAC Ban because of OpenGL recording with SSR? I contacted Steam Support asking the same but you know how closed they are about these things, right?

As far as I know, it has never happened. When asked, Valve simply states that they only ban players for cheating, but they never explain how exactly VAC detects this (which is understandable - if they did, it would be trivial to bypass it). I think the risk is pretty low, and I use it myself all the time, but you can never be 100% sure.
