Hello, I am Avocat and I was just playing a game of RS. I hopped on a server with mostly bots, all was well before I seemingly lagged, spammed in the chat it said 'SPEED HACKS DETECTED' and that is what I think caused the lag effect. I was just running around down a hill on a official map (I'm unsure if this could make your character move at a speed that would be considered speed hacking). I am requesting assistance so that I can

1. Not get banned from RS/RO2 games for being falsely accused of hacking and
2. Get into shacky VAC status because of something I did not do.

The only custom content I have is maps downloaded while joining servers, I have not used steam work shop or any other mod resource to modify the game files in anyway at all.

Thank you if you can clear up what will happen after this false positive and if you can prevent any sort of ban.

I will open my steam profile so that you can see that I have no prior VAC bans.

Let me explain the "Speed hacking" it has to do with latency, ie your client tells the server your in location X, but according to the server you're in location Y, it then assumes, that you are "hacking" becuase you cannot move so fast.
If your playing on wifi, this is problem.
You will not be reprimanded for latency, depending on the server, it will ban you, after a certain amount of times. However you will not be penalized on steam for it. (Ie no VAC bans.)
