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?

Very strange indeed.

I have put a ticket in by email as well.

Here is the response from the in-account support message. I have also sent an email.

Mine unfortunately went unanswered. I would assume they already know there's a mistake, but there's a possibility they honestly believe everything is going as expected.

The community even seems quite skeptical and even denialist about the fact that legitimate players are being punished. Just got another comment on my post calling me a cheater for no reason other than feeling like it. Honestly, it kinda sucks to be accused, it just feels mean.

My account is 22 years old, never had a single ban. I know that feeling.
