Does this mean that whenever you play the game you should disconnect to the internet or just dont go onto multiplayer?

If everyone is on steam shoulddnt you have to disconnect (from your internet connection) to play mods without getting caught

only if you goto multiplayer. and entertain your modded files in an arena where those files may be checked by steam. i.e an online match.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, so therefore Im going to work on some Ju-87 skins that was originally done from scratch with the 1946 models, copying and pasteing, enlarging moving to the correct positions, then fildling around with finding the very small parts

Thanks for this,

AdamB

Hi Guys
Can someone Please Clarify for Me with a Yes\No answer..
Would Ban apply to Singleplayer in offline Mode or does it apply to Multiplayer online Mode Only?
I want to use Third party Skins and MODS in Singleplayer
Mode only for Machinema purposes and NOT for Online Gaming.
And if I switch to Offline in Steam will this make a Ban less likely
Or make no difference to detection in Account details
Thanks
Keith

Using mods offline will not trigger a VAC ban. You have to join a VAC enabled server to run the risk of a ban through steam (I have been playing HL2 mods [offline] through Steam for a long time and have not had any problems).

from: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7849-Radz-6869

If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.

Thanks Guys
for clearing this up,
I thouhgt it would be O.K but just wanted to make sure
Looks like I have a lot of Downloading to do.
I will be patching Game Manually in future so as to maintain Offline Status
[Better Safe than sorry].
Thanks Again for quick response.

I think I answered that I have already used self made skins offline and this did not lead to a ban up to now.

I do not know about mods but I would leave my fingers off this kind of things right now.

I have been using skins and mods from day one and no problems but I do not fly online.
