Can DSfix get you a ban like some are saying they got they VAC ban from?
in a VAC ban game like CSGO for example if you are using hacks you get banned for life from joining their servers and play the game plus you lose some ingame items and cant use the market for that game cheats are hooked files in dll form but the problem is a lot of cosmetic mods comes with hooked files and dll files that can result to a ban to that user even tho he is innocent but in valve defence a lot of hacks can come through cosmetics so its better not to use any mods at all at those games

OK thank you very much I think I pretty much got it.
As said below, games without VAC (I guess games without multiplayer -skyrim, fallout, those ones get very modded) are safe right? I don't play any multiplayer ATM but I have both skyrim and fallout modded.

dont worry about skyrim mine is modded beyond immagination and as you can see i am not VAC banned i bought a 1500 euro pc just so i can mod the hell out of skyrim in a funny fact the pc was that good that i was one of the few who could play batman arkham knight when it was released without frame drops or ever being stuck at maximum settings while 1000 euros pcs that are beasts aswell couldnt run it

VAC stands for Valve Anti Cheat, if I recall correctly. So, to put it simple, it's just an anticheat system that you can find in valve games like CS GO and others. It would be very rare to find single player games like Skyrim or The Witcher to have an anticheat system.

i think i will be safe too its just i recently run into the idea of games are not updated as vac protected and in general i dont mind cause i dont use mods except DS for the fix and heavelly modded Skyrim and Fallout , they will ruin my day if they ever vac skyrim or fallout

I play non of vac protected games like CS or TF the few VAC protected i have is RE6 and RE revaletions and the idea of playing with others doesnt interest me my idea of multiplayer games that i love are wow and diablo3, Just to clarify cause i didnt got exactly the meaning of what you said if i play skyrim one day and i close it and then log into RE6 i can get an accidental ban?

if there was a ban at skyrim almost 99% of ppl playing would have a ban (and a lot of people still playing) and valve would have remove it cause besides cheaters zero tolerance i am sure they have a we want you money above all else secret policy

You can't get VAC banned in a game without VAC protection
What VAC does ?
checks if there is something altering the game (external software like cheatengine, mods, etc...)
Using something like DSFIX in a server protected by VAC will grant a ban for sure

DS1 is now a VAC protected game, which is always online, thus always connected to a VAC server.

Are you sure ?
there is no tag on its page http://store.steampowered.com/app/211420/

It's not listed on the DS2 page either and that game is definitely VAC enabled...

i know that if the VAC is on it will result in a vac ban and also steam page has no info about if its on or off but i cant ignore this stupid video that clouded my mind with doupts

When I played DS(1) there was no VAC protection and AFAIK
DS2 had VAC and then devs decided to disable it.
I don't know if things changed, imho if there is no tag, there is no vac protection but... dunno :\

I think what he was saying is that Dark Souls 2 used to restrict multiplayer access for VAC banned users, and he was one of many who got VAC banned (unfairly according to him) using a graphic mod for Half-Life 1 that uses hooked dll files (whatever those are, but are responsible for triggering VAC). And on the other hand, the popular and essential DSFix also uses hooked files (like a hypocrisy from Bandai Namco/FromSoftware's part).
He said nothing about use of DSFix for Dark Souls 1 on it's own causing VAC ban.

I've only played DS1 for a few hours since the Steamworks conversion, (I played if for many more before), anyway, I used DSFIX and didn't receive a ban.

I used dsfix and only played DS1 for 80hrs, no ban at all.

So recently i saw a video about poeple with vac bans couldnt enter DS2 for a while dunno if they still cant ( here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6fo34JOAk ) and i was thinking recently to go back to DS even tho its not a VAC protected game i google to be safe if dsfix can result in a vac ban somehow and i saw poeple arguing between dsfix got them banned or not. Any of you know if dsfix can somehow get you banned in a not VAC game like DS? cause if its true i remember its unplayable without it
