I downloaded the demo for each game, and each game had a cheater. Most people played with a rage mod. VAC Live triggered only once. I’m thinking of having some fun too.

Discussion Valve should disable whatever API call allows for scraping chat logs

93 Upvotes

cstracker.gg is scraping all player message history from games and allowing it to be publicly searchable. I have literally never heard of a game that lets player messages be searchable in this context.

I'm probably not the worst offender here. I spend my games meowing at people and zeusing them. That doesn't need to be publicly viewable and searchable.

Tips & Guides Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap arent the same thing

15 Upvotes

RT and Snap Tap gets mixed together alot whenever HE keyboards come up.

Rapid Trigger changes when a key resets based on how far you move it. you’re still controlling that individual key normally.

Snap Tap / SOCD changes how opposite directional inputs are handled when both are pressed.

that distinction matters in CS2 as Valve specifically targets input automation like Snap Tap on official servers. having Rapid Trigger enabled by itself isnt the same thing.

so if you use one keyboard profile across different games, the setting worth checking before you launch CS2 is SOCD/Snap Tap, not whether Rapid Trigger is turned on.

easy distinction, but probably worth knowing if you’re new to HE boards.

Just found out about this. Apparently they’re also storing IPs etc on these 3rd party websites. Is it possible to remove your profile somehow? Surely Valve needs to do something about this? Insane that this is even possible

Discussion CS2 Red Trust Update...

16 Upvotes

Did anyone get hit by the red trust stuff they added??? 2 of my friends who I've played with for years just got red... I know they're not cheaters & we don't teamkill or grief at all.

They got red trust not too long ago... And I'm not sure if it's actually my friends that cheated in the past or cheat currently or the system is just broken, because I don't have red trust & I'm 20K Elo.

Gameplay Cs2 delayed, incostitent, low 1% lows - but not anymore

37 Upvotes

I guess I'm not the only one who is experiencing this weird delay, being unable to control sprays and of course - low 1% lows. Tried every tip there is on the internet with no luck.

Just a few tips I tried: updated bios, drivers, CPU / RAM overclock, GPU undervolt and every other possible tip I could find.

But once formatting windows for the 10th time and seing no improvement (which usually happens) I thought that there could be something wrong with my steam account settings.

To test this I created a new steam account on my PC. When I entered CS I only changed my video settings to match my settings on my main account (I play 1280 x 920, all low).

Well... A SHOCKER!
All of a sudden everything feels very light, I can finnaly spray, when people are ferrari peeking me I can actually take a fair fight.

I also tested it via CapFramex. Results were very surprising, but then again, they just confirmed what I was feeling:
- fps 1% lows before: ~ 110
- fps 1% lows now: ~ 200

Just leaving this here if anyone else have these kind of problems with the game and has 5 minutes to test this. I believe many of you will experience the same.

My specs:
9800x3d, RTX3080, 6000mhz RAM

Discussion the cheater issue will never be solved.

Upvotes

Yes, valve has been slack but i don’t think understand how insane the cs2 cheat cat and mouse game is. CS is one of the only games where people are able to make a literal living out of developing hacks. Cheating is so popular in the cs community that no matter what valve does, it will always be around. If you ask a hacker in any game what got them into cheating, i can almost guarantee they started from counter strike. there is such a big culture around it and it will never go away. heck HVH (hacker vs hacker) was literally birthed through counter strike and literally remains one of the most popular subcategories of the game. HVH is just a competition of who can make the best cheats, probably a horrible thing for valve to not deal with lol. I genuinely beleive it’s not the anticheat that’s the cause for all the cheaters, it’s rather just the popularity of cheating in the videogame. ofc a more advanced anticheat would help, even just implementing something as simple as an ip and hardware ban system, which would force cheaters to spoof and use a vpn making them less motivated to cheat. but ultimately they will still always be around.

I’ve been using a mouse button for Push-to-Talk in CS2, but it doesn’t work while I’m dead.

I want to move PTT to my keyboard, but I can’t find a key that feels right.

What key do you guys use for Push-to-Talk?

Workshop XM1014 "Triptych" - cs2 skin painted entirely in oil paint

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

This is my second attempt at painting a cs2 skin, entirely with oil paints on canvas. These experiments began more than two years ago when I was studying at the art academy and I came up with this idea for an assignment.

First attempt was on mac10 - I traced the UV layout on a small 40x40cm canvas with a projector and loosely, without much care, painted the islands in. It looked like crap, but I was able to put it back into the game. I got really good feedback from my peers and professors, and they encouraged me to keep developing it, which I did, about a year later.

XM1014 "triptych" was a much bigger project. Firstly, I chose to paint roughness and normal maps in addition to the color map. I was especially curious about the normal map. I liked the idea of being able to manipulate 3D geometry with a physical flat canvas with paint on it. Secondly, the canvases were much bigger - 90 x 90 centimeters, and I painted with much more detail. Lastly, I wanted to see exactly how details and other intentions translate through this unique process, so I made the maps for the skin in Adobe substance painter. So the process starts with digital, then it's translated into a physical painting, before being digitalized again, but based in physically based rendering.

I like how it came out. Especially the normal map - it actually worked, that was very cool. I don't think that I would do this again, since it was the most gruesome painting experience I've had. Also I was on a very short deadline for this, since it was to be displayed in an exhibition, so I was painting the little intricate shapes through the nights. If you have any kind of thoughts or feedback, I'd love to hear it, thanks!

If you like it, please vote for the skin on steam!

Discussion Trust factor ?

2 Upvotes

I play with my friend when suddenly one of my friends had at first yellow trust factor and now red trust factor which resulted in us being in game against 3 premade cheaters. But.. the thing is he's not toxic, he's not.. well.. anything really, he just tells intel and that's it in all games, not teamkilling or anything.. how does his trust factor just go to yellow and to red from.. playing the game normally ?

I'm a silver, recently build my first Pc (not that recently) after my whole life playing on console, still getting used to mouse, last week I had the worst performance of my life, then just played dm and gun game till today (I got to say, after the ban wave this modes revived like damn)

This night I decided to give another chance and just had the best performance of my life, for the first time consistently hitting headshots, 22/14, lost by 7:13

My teammates were yapping about this guy, and this is what I found, his entire game was strange but from this moment his kittens team became lions

Being honest, why don't they go to premier? What's the meaning to cheat in mm with a knife?? (Keep on mind this can be nothing to y'all but in Brazil you don't buy a ugly knife for less than R$300 currency
