Recently there was a thing where VAC would erroneously flag AMD’s antilag+ feature as cheating, and issue a ban.
AMD then quickly disabled the feature by default but now Valve also patched detection for it and is now, at least according to these patch notes, reversing the bans.
Unless they are VAC secured
Even if it’s an entirely different game by a duuferent publisher, you might get premtively banned from playing because the ban is visible on your account.
