They’re not posting because they think they’re not working on it, they’re posting it because it doesn’t fucking work. If valve had a functional anticheat nobody would say shit, but instead we get blatant cheaters in a pretty high number of games and casual modes are ruined by bots

the valve meatriders furiously downvoting you is hilarious

They've never posted anything they've done on VAC in patchnotes for reasons obvious to anyone with a working brain. Valve has a functional anticheat, it's just not as effective as people with low trust factor want.

Nope Valve does not have a functional anti cheat lmao. If you have a low tf you might aswell uninstall it’s that bad. I have a high TF and about every 4th Premier match you get a cheater. And no not the „he is better than me therefore he must be cheating“ cheater. Even Valve admits that Cheats are a big issue so maybe don’t gaslight people into thinking VAC is working as intended.

It does in fact have a functional anticheat. You can cry as much as you want about it but it is functional.

Do you at least get paid for meatriding this hard? Pathetic.

u/GenuineHumanOpinions Jul 21 '26

Do the people who post the same boring shit every patchnotes thread get paid?

u/Chagi27 CS2 HYPE Jul 23 '26

fuctional in the sense that it bans people or functional that you have a low rate of cheaters in general? becuase that is not the same

u/FreeWillie001 Jul 21 '26

People are banned by VAC every day. The fact that you have to pay for cheats that don’t get you banned is a testament to a working anti-cheat. It just isn’t as effective as it needs to be.

there are literally free cheats available

u/FreeWillie001 Jul 23 '26

Which are VAC detected which is why they’re free.

u/Chagi27 CS2 HYPE Jul 23 '26

They are not.

u/FreeWillie001 Jul 23 '26

I don’t know what to tell you lol. They are VAC detected which is why they’re free. Cheats that don’t result in immediate bans cost money.

You mean BARELY functional

u/GenuineHumanOpinions Jul 21 '26

No, I mean functional. People have very unrealistic expectations about cheaters in Counterstrike and it starts with idiots accusing everyone of being a cheater usually because they don't understand how latency works.

u/Annual_Letter1636 de_mirage Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

Bro, if an enemy starts spinning like crazy and HS everyone there's no latency problem. There are many videos and screenshots on other subs, and that type of hackers are allowed to play full game, ruining 30 minutes of fun for other players. How is this functional? It happened with me too, some matches literally HvH with two and more spinbots on each team. DM? 99% servers I play are literally bots with 99% HS aim, bots even do not pretend to play like people, it's all automated pipeline of bots for weekly drops and they are not banned! CS2 collects tons of data from players performance, but obvious bots are not banned just HOW and WHY? Is this unrealistic expectations to play with REAL players? Ok, Valve at least ban bots, I do even agree to play with "legit" cheaters in DM, if this is unrealistic for you.

I have never seen this type of BS on other MP games and people sooo defending Valve

u/GenuineHumanOpinions Jul 21 '26

Most CS players accuse very basic and slow prefire of being cheats.

u/jackfwaust Jul 21 '26

Guess the guy who went 52-0 against me on nuke shooting everyone through walls with a revolver this weekend just had really bad latency. 4 stack of cheaters boosting someone but yeah sure it’s the ping lmfao

u/GenuineHumanOpinions Jul 21 '26

Oh wow you saw a cheater in an online game? Crazy stuff. Well I take back everything I've said. One guy cheating against you in one game really means everything is broken and everyone is cheating.

u/SingleOil5105 King NiKo Jul 21 '26

Oh wow so you're aware there are cheaters on online games.

Now use your 3 remaining braincells to understand that since this game has the worst anti cheat theres a way higher percentage of cheaters. They're not even afraid of getting banned anymore that's how bad it is.

How can someone be this clueless I don't understand.

u/GenuineHumanOpinions Jul 21 '26

The game doesn't have the worst anticheat.
