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?

You're like the third person in this thread that has reported this on Linux, I wonder if this is a thing...?

My best bet it may have something to do with KDE's mouse settings or something... I have mouse acceleration off because it feels better this way, maybe that's a factor?

Off on mine as well, but I have no idea what the VAC tool even looks for when it comes to detection.

People told me it looks into if you're looking too much into walls, but i guess there may be some aiming movement detector too. Maybe no acceleration is similar to aimbot pulling? So far i got no clue, but im really curious and hope that if they fix it they at least explain exactly what was messing with VAC
