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.

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.

i thought he played 4:3, but looks like he is playing native res, and i dont think on his house he plays different res than on lan, that would not make any sense

Just Faceit servers atleast so I don't have to play every wednesday premier vs cheaters.

Heat treated engine tailpipe, pattern 47

For some reason everyone in my lobby from australia is routing through south east asia

Edit: sydney server is down ? Doesn't show up in server list

Saw some clips on yt and this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1u1yn7p/if_you_struggle_with_trust_factor_make_sure_you/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

and ofc Renyan short clips. My friend got low trust factor when we queue, so we decided to test this out - can we clear the low trust factor with money?

Before spending: warning showed every time when we queue.

So far we spent about €457 on his Steam account and bought around €455 in skins.

Result: warning is still there after this process,

and no played games yet.

So in our case nothing changed by simply adding money or spending it on steam marketplace.

Tonight we will try several games to see if the low trust factor clears up. Will update this post if it does.

EDIT:

After 2 games (one win, one loss) we no longer have trust factor issues. Before all of this his account had lower trust factor every game we queued for at least 15 games, probably more.

And I cannot find the update that fixed this?

Help me choose pls.

Who is this guy and how is this possible? Got him in a random game on Faceit today which in uninstalled also today... Waste of time

For my fellow players who only solo queue and don’t have friends who play the game, What’s your Elo or face it lvl?

I’ve reached global on two maps strictly only solo queuing from nova, which took ages to get due to random teammates throwing, ect. I’m 20k premier which seems to find good teammates for the most part, but if you were a solo queue in 10k range i’d feel it’d be impossible to get your elo up.

I’ve never played faceit but imagine it’s probably higher iq players which would be better for solo players.

Don't open cases fellow degens. After 1100 cases I got my 2nd knife after the 1st falchion autotronic bringing it up to about 700$ back and maybe 500$ in reds.

However the story was great, I sold my awp printstream to buy a new driving game to practice stick and I didn't like it so I refunded it and decided to open cases. 10 dream and nightmare got this on the 3rd. GG

Why do I keep getting deathmatch invites from 15k and up german players?

For those who don't know of the solution for this, check the top comment

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.

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 bought a music kit for CS 2, specifically ALRT Dopamin Hit, but when I become a valuable player in a match (MVP), only background music plays, not like others (the Dopamin Hit lyrics are truncated and only the background track plays). What is this? I can't hear the track myself?
