Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers
-
They will have working cheats by now. It really needs to be consistent effort to keep cheaters away.
I think this is great they're doing stuff now though, keep it up!
VACnet is built to be consistent
They have been training for two years

I did finally win a match in CS2 after a long loss streak.. it was definitely because everyone else was always cheating... not because I'm shit...
Still in like 5k cause I'm shite
-
I can only hope this affects TF2 as well. I used to play competitively and the line between cheater and god-tier is so blurry sometimes, especially with how hard it is to spectate now. The one and only time I was certain someone was cheating was when I tried to rocket jump around a corner and got killed by a prefired airshot from a direct hit, aka they couldn't even see me when they fired and still hit me 50 feet in the air the same instant I came around the corner.
And of course their team wouldn't kick em because people still think it's impossible to cheat with projectiles

Doxxing them implies releasing their personal information, and if you think cheating in a video game is that serious there's something very wrong with you.
I think people who cheat at online games are likely to also be shitheads IRL but doxxing them would be crazy lol
-
I've often thought that the cheaters should be simply shadow banned, and only match with other cheaters. Let them play against the other cheaters and see how well they do.
I think Valve should have only recorded which players were cheating for a few weeks, then ban them all at once. Would avoid them disabling cheats now they know and would also make it more difficult to figure out what exactly is VAC detecting.

You cannot permaban a cheater for the saame reason you shouldn't have death penalty, people need to be able to challenge the decision which should trigger a process
As a piece of software, I highly doubt there isn't a single bug in VAC that would cause a false-positive
Found a cheater
-
Shit, I play in easy mode. And I sometimes look up hints online. But yeah, I only play single player stuff so I don't feel like I'm cheating anyone.
-
At this point I nearly want to "donate" to Valve...
That's what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?

I agree, they should instead do a 10 gazillion year temp ban. I expect people would change by that point

*wreaking havoc
Though I kinda like the wrecking sentiment
TIL wreaking is a word. Whops

It's possible that Adwaita for Steam causing VAC issues now. I suddenly started getting VAC warnings on CS2 and it didn't go until disabling Adwaita for Steam.
Yet another reason gnome is awful.

How is this related to Gnome though? Adwaita for Steam is a third-party Steam client theme that only modifies CSS. This might be a coincidence but I don't know at this point.

Judges should be using ouija boards to communicate with people killed by death penalty. "So you were guilty, right?" To make sure everyone gets a chance to appeal the decision.

Finally, VAC is a good anticheat, and that works without running deep into the kernel.
-
Now doxx them all too. These people deserve consequences.
Doxxing is too far,what is wrong with you.
-
GTA is a disgusting franchise, and the content in the games is just awful. Maybe the stories are good, but do you really need to insert heavy esex and substance use into a game like that? That's called desensitization, and I'm sensitive to quite a few things (not this fake sensitivity that's floating around... legit sensitivity).
AFAIK why not add a mod that removes these things
-
I did not expect to see CS2 news on lemmy... I'm all here for it!
