I dont know if it's a translator thing. But, there is NO "VAC investigation". You are either banned or not. You will never be warned in advance.

Are you sure you ain't in contact with a scammer?

Yes. When I launch a CS2 game, I get a warning that I'm under VAC review.

This review period is said to be 180 days. And even though I'm playing a legal game!

Weird.

Maybe it's something new I wasn't aware of.

There's only one thing that takes a certain amount of time, and as far as I know, that's a cooldown.
VAC itself doesn't have a specific time limit; you're either permanently banned or not banned at all.
So either you're talking about a cooldown or it's a scam.

If it's a cooldown, there's nothing you can do about it and you have to wait it out. No matter what you write here, no one can do anything about it.

If it's a scam:
Follow ALL these steps to secure your account:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your mobile app https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

I'd rather suspect a cooldown, though, since 180 days are possible there, as far as I know. You'd have to have been noticed a lot for it to last that long.

Thanks Lufia.

Playing CS2 now is a regret!
