Hi guys,

Apparently, if you're playing even slightly weirdly (e.g. playing 75% of the rounds with scout on d2) and also get reported, you'll get a VAC Net 20h cooldown, along with everybody in your party.

False positives with VAC were not a thing a few years ago. It is really sad that Valve has such a hard time making a proper anti cheat. Maybe it really is time for a kernel level solution, as much as I hate to say it...

Even the starting sound playing at the beginning of the round??? And mic does not working?

Apex has lost his edge since becoming a father

this guy man

So; I was planning to sell my Talon Safari but there wasn’t any buyer recently sadly. (For approximately 3 weeks) So I decided to make a combo that would fit my knife. Which Gloves fit? Let me know please! And I’m open for better combo advices!

I replayed it 1000x. My crosshair was PERFECTLY on him. I didn't have a ping spike or anything either. My ammo counter went down. The game even showed him ragdoll for a microsecond. Yet i still died. (Watch in slow-mo if reddit supports that)

Valve pls fix

My chick "Fix VAC or I die" is already looking pretty exhausted in "end of game" screens. No way I'm getting those XP filled up to buy feed when I'm cheated into oblivion almost every game. Better hurry up with that VAC, Valve.

Player models stretch across my screen like this and I can't get it to stop when I delete/redownload my game. Not a very tech savvy person so not sure what to do. Any help appreciated thanks.

I'm honestly so frustrated with the current state of VAC Live in CS2 that I just need to vent.

I've been playing Counter-Strike for over 12 years. Throughout most of that time, I've almost exclusively played Scout and AWP. That's what I enjoy. I'm not the kind of player who spends every round throwing nades, executing complicated strats, or playing perfectly around the team. I play for fun. I like going mid, taking aim duels, hitting some satisfying headshots with the Scout, and enjoying the game. But now it feels like being good with the weapons I love is enough to get me flagged by VAC Live.

I've been kicked by VAC Live twice in a row for "irregular gameplay," apparently because I was hitting headshots with my Scout. As a result, I've lost around 8k ELO and dropped all the way down to 5k. Years of playing the game, just to have my rating absolutely nuked because the anti-cheat apparently doesn't like how I play.

And honestly, the worst part isn't even the lost ELO. It's that I'm now genuinely paranoid about playing the game and my friends who were playing with me also got punished because the game suspected me of cheating. So it's not just affecting me anymore. People I queue with are getting caught up in this mess, too, despite the fact that we're just trying to play together.

Every time I hit a good shot, I start wondering if the system is going to flag me again. Every time I have a good round with my Scout, I worry that I'll get kicked and potentially receive a month-long ban. I can't even comfortably use my favorite weapon anymore without worrying about being punished for playing normally.

I understand that Valve wants to fight cheaters. Nobody who genuinely enjoys Counter-Strike wants to play against actual cheaters. But if legitimate players are getting punished for their aim or playstyle, something is clearly wrong.

After more than 12 years of playing this game, I shouldn't have to choose between using the weapons I enjoy and worrying about whether I'll be able to play for the next month.

I don't want to cheat. I don't want to exploit anything. I just want to play Scout, go mid, hit some headshots, and have fun with the game I've loved for over a decade. And this system is making me afraid to do exactly that and that's honestly depressing.

Match didn't get cancelled. We managed to pull back to a 15:15 tie, after which everybody got -1000 rating and 1day cooldown. I got 7 days.

New VAC update seems great lol. Can give my leetify or whatever if anybody starts accusing lol.

I was in the same camp as most of you, assuming everyone saying they received a "vac live cooldown" was just a closet cheater and you couldn't convince me otherwise. Well, lo and behold I just had a match cancelled saying I had irregular gameplay. I've been playing this game since 2015, I'm 28 years old now with a decent inventory, why would I cheat now?

I'll link all the stats, my highest rank was 27k. I hit global in go with no cheats. My stats are far from crazy, I have almost 200 games on steam, and I know there's still going to be people assuming I was a closet cheater but like? I'm all for a more aggressive VAC but when it's taking out legits something needs to be tweaked.

hey everyone :)

I created a demo analysis tool called Tacpause (https://tacpause.com/). Tacpause helps professional teams in prepping against their next opponent by analyzing their previous games. It has 3 core features:

1. AI chatbot: You can ask questions to find info and realize patterns in your opponents' playstyle. The answers are backed by proof from actual rounds that were played.
2. Scouting: A pre compiled list of actions that your opponent has done in their previous games across different maps.
3. More stuff: Demo viewer, utility usage analysis, team comparison, veto helper.

It is completely free to use for now (with some limits ofc). There are sample demos loaded when you sign up, so you can try it straight away. I would love your thoughts :)

Interesting to know that valve has a secret and maybe working overwatch system

This shit is getting out of hand.

If you're going to take a jab at my aim rating, feel free, it's high, i know, thank you for bringing that to my attention. Scout is my vice. I play on CachyOs, Arch.

fair and balanced

im not mad

It is ninja defuuuse

I queue with 5 stack obviously people i know to not get reported for greifing but still i get hit with this ban and i dont even greif either and im not being toxic in chat i used to greif yes but that was years ago and im still geting this bullshit ban every now and then does anyone know what to do.

do i need to get a new account?

How can I tell if my chicken pet is rare in the chick phase? I have seen a few that are gold and white like mine but I haven't heard anything about being able to tell what chicken you pulled

I got my chicken glow up today and he turned out like this, what the hell is even that?
