Message: "Your computer is blocking the VAC system". What should I do when I get there?

Today we will talk with you about the VAC protection system. What it is? What is it for? And what if your computer is locked by a VAC system? The source of the problem is before your eyes. More precisely, it is hidden in the name - Valve Anti-Cheat.

Principle of operation

The system developed by the company Valve, VAC is designed to serve to provide a comfortable game for all gamers. It does not allow the use of codes, cheats, third-party programs and add-ons for certain applications, thus placing all players on equal terms.

Because VAC only works in conjunction with Steam, then its protection extends only to official servers. That is, if your computer is blocked by a VAC system, you can still play on pirate servers.

How does protection work? When you start the game, the module of this system is loaded into the computer's memory and continuously makes sure that no extraneous process interferes with the program. Thus, if you try to connect any additional module that is not part of the running game, the VAC system will remember the game, your account and login. It must be remembered that the lock does not happen instantly, so if you tried once to use the codes and you were just thrown out of the game, then from one week to two months you will be banned, and access will only be to unprotected and pirated servers.

Question answer

As you understand, the VAC system is an inseparable part, so do not be surprised and do not worry if you have an application crashed or not started. As a result of the antivirus and the utility in question, there may be some compatibility issues. Why does the computer block the VAC system? At its core, VAC is a local spyware utility. In order to protect the game, it monitors everything that happens on the PC, so be sure to check that your firewall and antivirus do not block the process.

In addition, the developers advise to include the DEP service on the PC. To do this, close all applications and, most importantly, Steam. You need to enter the following expression on the command line :

Bcdedit.exe / deletevalue nx

Restart the PC. In case it did not help, try to restore the service "Steam Service". To do this, go to the folder with the installed stim and copy the entire path to SteamService.exe. On the command line, paste what was copied and add / repair. Again, restart the computer and run the Steam.

Avoiding problems

If your computer is blocked by a VAC system, then the solution is very simple - do not use codes, cheats, add-ons. You are no different from the rest of the players, and realize the sense of own superiority and teshte in life. So you can achieve much more than just a few murders in a computer game.

If you are still blocked - remember that this is not done with the computer, but with the account. You can just swap it. It is not so valuable thing to be killed about its loss.

However, not always your computer is blocked by the VAC system for justified reasons. Anti-Virus can also interfere with applications with the purest intentions. So just turn it off for the duration of the game. You are already playing on a secure server that does not threaten you.

Lock Features

There are some features that you need to know about if you suddenly decide to try to cheat the defense and use cheats. VAC only blocks the game in which the use of the reader was noticed. That is, you can still use your account, but already in other projects. In addition, there are some exceptions:

1. If the use of codes and cheats was found on one of the games that use the GoldSource engine, then absolutely all the games on it are blocked.
2. The same situation with the chain of toys, whose predecessors (the first parts) worked for GoldSource.

As you can see, the use of cheats is a disadvantageous and ungrateful business, it is better just to enjoy the game process, and you will be fine without any blockages.
