Today it became known that Valve has already managed to unban almost all players who undeservedly received VAC on December 5, 2023. About 17,000 accounts were affected by the ban.
Moreover, the VAC ban was also given to famous personalities, for example, Aurimas 'Bymas' Pipiras from Into The Breach, Sodbayar 'Techno4K' Munkhbold from TheMongolz, and the manager of the G2 Esports roster for Counter-Strike 2.
Earlier, Valve promised to lift the bans for all players who received VAC undeservedly:
Yesterday's update erroneously caused bans in the game. We have fixed the problem, and the process of lifting bans has already begun.
In the last 3 days, a total of more than 14,000 accounts have been unbanned:
- December 5 - 7287 bans lifted
- December 6 - 4366 bans lifted
- December 7 - 3111 bans lifted
And today many players have started receiving notifications like this in Steam:
Throughout the entire December 5, VAC was banning players for no reason. Many lost inventories worth tens of thousands of dollars. Apparently, with the new update, Valve somewhat broke VAC, and it started banning random players without any reason.
However, there is a peculiar feature of this ban: banned players can still transfer skins. This is strange as VAC previously also banned skins.
