VAC ban in CS2
I had just started a casual game with a friend. Despite having to stay AFK for 2-3 rounds, I started playing and got VAC banned after the first round. Sure, I got 8 kills. My friend told me where the enemies were because he was a spectator, but I don't have any cheats or software that allows me to aim better or see through walls or whatever.
I have a clip with only the sound to prove that my friend is giving me the information, and you can hear me missing my shots at the end. Nothing really alarming.
Can Overwatch watch my game?

Your account is not VAC banned. If you got a cooldown for being AFK, just wait it out.

Then it's a VAC error. In most cases restarting your PC would be enough. Try it and see if it works again.

And where in that message does it say that you're banned?

It was never a VAC ban.

Something on your PC, is or was interfering with VAC. Since it is your PC, only you can fix it. No one here has any idea what is on your PC or how it is configured.

always amazing when people immediately think they are banned when they got either a global cooldown or a disconnected by vac message. Like you stated you got a disconnected by vac and that link you supplied gives you steps on sorting out the issue, as something on your end is creating an issue.
