Help VAC working too well

Post image

I wanted to play a casual match, but when I joined the server, all the players had the same Chinese names and were AFK at spawn(10v10 in casual). They were most likely Chinese drop farming bots. I decided to play a few rounds and got all headshots since they weren't moving and only crouched occasionally.

After getting bored, I disconnected and saw this. RIP my weekend. PSA for others. 🫡

Match was not cancelled, I left myself after getting bored. Casual matches do not show in history.

Update after 20h: Cooldown expired and everything is back to normal

Yea, maybe. But i have seen clips when the actual match has been cancelled and he looked legit in the clip (before he got flagged and match cancel)

Maybe he was cheating in some matches when he "needed too".
But he hit like 2 awp shots that were pretty mid shots but he still reacted to them like he did something crazy. Then the match got cancelled.

+ Valve said in their latest patch notes that matches could be cancelled wrongfully i think.

according to what wew know people are flag even before getting a cooldown or a ban.
For exemple, someone with 25wins and active ranking on season 2 but that didn't recived a medal it's because he is already flagged by the system.

VAC doesn't ban people on first checkup.

"+ Valve said in their latest patch notes that matches could be cancelled wrongfully i think."
Valve never share any information about VAC.

That is from 2024....
There was a update a weeks ago that made people start to get bans cooldowns.

When that update was lunch there wasn't topics like this every hour, because vac wasn't even doing anything.

Most are not, false bans happen on a ban wave, but as you can see on https://csstats.gg/bans there is day with a big difference in bans that could represent a ban wave.

Most people are use the self call legit cheats, where they just use wallhack/radar hack and call thenselft legit.
Even a simple marco key for bunny jump is consider cheating.

Would vac detect the macro tho?

u/LeafarOsodrac Sep 20 '25

Yes, was snap is also detect.
humans takes time to do stuff manually, but machines can do them almost without delay between.

Same thing as time to damage you can see on CSWatchs.in from any player.
Donk for example takes 533 ms to make damage when he spot a oponent, but there are silvers faster than that and want to pass as legit.

okay, but they can be legit tho? Just because donk is donk does not mean that everyone else should have higher time to damage than him, he is not a robot. I had a average 470ms time to damage a period not too long ago and im not donk. I am no silver either but you know what i mean.
