Can I safely use it to unlock achievements without getting a Ban/Restriction?

Open Carlos-Sant-ana opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

Well, I wanted to use it for those games that no longer have a server or the server is so precarious that there is no one left to play. Can I get a restriction/ban when using it or not? Well, I'm afraid to use it.

I've not seen any evidence of any kind of punishments coming from Valve for using SAM in the time it has existed (10+ years).

Of course, I am not Valve. I cannot make any promises here.

If it's just unlocking, then there should be no problem (I've verified it with multiple accounts). But don't lock the achievement again after unlocking it (this could result in a VAC Ban). Of course, the safest way is not to modify the use of anti-cheat games. That‘s all plz close this issue tks :D

Locking achievements will result in a VAC ban? This is the first time I hear it.

@gibbed, do you think that this can be true?

I've already commented on that in this issue. https://github.com/gibbed/SteamAchievementManager/issues/475#issuecomment-2625115219

锁定成就会导致 VAC 封禁?这是我第一次听到它。

,你觉得这能成真吗? Some people close to me told me he was banned for it I can't make any promises, but we want to keep our accounts as safe as possible from all potential hazards. Also, I seem to remember wrong, maybe steam ban? sor
