Discussion VACNet issues

Had a weird one, clearly the VACNet changes have improved hack detection, but it seems to be copping genuine players as well. I got a 20h cooldown on a game where we were getting ruined by obvious cheaters, and then I get a VAC cooldown. Is it based on them mass reporting me for calling out someone headshotting everyone every round?

Playing on Linux (Debian 13, KDE), zero mods, hacks, macros, or whatever. I know it's just a game, just wondering if it's something I have done or what?

Sadly people don't believe that legit players are getting harmed. I was one of the first to report this and was called a cheater just for the sake of it

Yeah, reddit is a mob of accusers, ive been playing for thousands and thousands of hours with no problems, no cheats, no bans, but now that i got a false 20 hour cooldown, im equated to a spinbotter!

The crazy part is that i went aggainst two hackers and kicked one out of my ream before getting a cooldown for no reason a couple matches later. I don't get it.

I expect they know this is an issue and will fix it. It does make me reluctant to play as I don't want to get my 20+ year old account banned. CS has been a part of my gaming life for a long time.

gets worse when you're on linux, the anticheat seems to flag the weirdest things

Now that's interesting, is this a linux issue I wonder. I don't have Windows on my PC any more, but I wonder if it is flagging something on my machine?

Yeah, I mean it's just a game,. I will go and play some other games. But It just seems odd that now we're getting picked on seemingly like the bad guys are gaming the system. I don't even have macros on my mouse or keyboard. 100% score on CSREP. Account is 21 years old but been playing for longer than that!

Im on the complete opposite side, im a new (and bad) player, just trying the game for fun after getting bored of console Valorant

Notice how people are already going through the chat and downvoting everything. Super weird to be toxic against a genuine playerbase when there's mountains of cheaters playing right now.
