VAC: Bannable or Not?



''Is this detected?'', ''Will I get banned for this?''
This thread will help you decide wheather to use a hack or not.

Trainers/rankhacks/unlockers.
From MW2: Those are not bannable if you use them properly, use them while you are at the Barracks and not in game. Close the hack before you go in game.
It's unsure whether or not this applies to Mw3. Use caution.
NOTE: Infinity Ward supposedly has a team that will ban you from MW3, (Not VAC) if they catch you cheating. They go through reports and check your gameplay, to see if it matches your rank.

PS - VAC does NOT run in Co-Op or Survival Mode so it's safe to use trainers there, I've checked myself. - master131

Textures/Skins
VAC originally stated that these are not bannable.
They are never going to be. If you mess up installing textures, you'll just get a game error which you can fix by installing correctly.

External hacks
External hacks are detected, unless specified otherwise in the thread.

Editing your config
Editing your configuration file is not bannable.

Internal hacks/Memory Editors
You will most likely get banned for those since they modify .exe and .dll and are public.
Memory editors are detected.
You will not get VAC banned as long as you don't modify .exes and .dlls.

VAC disablers
VAC disablers reduce your chance of getting banned for hacking, however, using public VAC diablers will not protect you. Public VAC disablers will most likely get you banned. Use private ones, note that they are hard to find and are expensive.

Hosting MODS
Hosting MODS (.gsc) is bannable for host only (private matches included, because VAC runs in private matches too) the people who joins him won't get banned.

"Memory editors are detected." Does this mean that anyone who used CE will get banned?

No one here can tell you for sure. If you haven't used it during games the chance is smaller though.

Not really though...
Only if they use it stupidly they'll get banned.

Yes, like that

I have used lots of memory hacks previously, never a VAC ban. Note that this is from my personal experience and this does not imply for everybody. I was probably being very cautious using it.

As stated: In mw2 if you used them in the Menu or Barracks you would avoid ban but we don't know if it's the same on Mw3. But if you use them anywhere else, you will get banned for sure.

Well i just hosted mods in MW2 like 100 times and nobody get banned even i got not banned.. and i don't think Valve will ban me in mw3 for modshosting.. cuz modhosting is the only thing i do..
