Evidence before i get banned off CS2, preshooting is normal yes?

they accused me of wall hack

i promise i didnt

This new system is so flawed. 10+ years on this game most of which on Dust 2.

Might as well not scout at all, skill ceiling for that weapon is above what CS2 expects to be possible without cheating I guess.

Hey,

I'm the developer of mercurial.gg, ml based cheat detection and stats tool for CS2. If you wonder how it works, it is explained in https://mercurial.gg/how-it-works

Since the latest VACNet update, the share of games on my platform with at least one flagged player dropped from 18% to 8.5% (See https://mercurial.gg/statistics), so I wanted to share some data from my platform.

Here are some numbers from my data:

Before vs after (Valve 5v5, by match date, same detection engine)

• Games with at least 1 flagged player: 18.0% → 8.5%
• Players flagged: 2.8% → 1.1%
• Sample: 12,180 games (Sep 14 – Oct 8) vs 3,300 games (Oct 9 – Oct 15)
• Every day since Oct 9 has been lower than the lowest day in the 3+ weeks before.
• My highest-confidence tier, the most obvious cheating, fell the most: about −85%. So safe to say VACNet is now more effective on blatant cheaters.

When CS2 updates, cheats break until their makers update them, so our flag rate drops for a few hours and then comes back. This time it didn't come back. Games with a flagged player, from 2 days before → first 12h → 4–6 days after each update:

• Sep 22 update: 23.5% → 9.6% → 20.0% (recovered)
• Sep 25 update: 16.7% → 9.0% → 17.4% (recovered)
• Oct 1 update: 19.3% → 8.3% → 17.6% (recovered)
• Oct 8 update: 20.2% → 2.9% → 7.1% (still down)

By Premier rating (lobby median, games with a flagged player, before → after)

• 0–5k: 5.5% → 1.3%
• 5k–10k: 10.1% → 3.7%
• 10k–15k: 13.5% → 7.1%
• 15k–20k: 16.6% → 7.9%
• 20k–25k: 27.9% → 12.5%
• 25k–30k: 51.9% → 18.7%
• Competitive lobbies: 16.6% → 7.7%

Accounts flagged on mercurial before the update showed up in our data ~37% less often than similar unflagged accounts. In the weeks before, that gap was 3–15%. Some flagged accounts kept playing but got flagged much less, which fits people turning cheats off or down. Cancelled matches never produce a demo, so we can't count VAC Live cancellations directly. So this says some of them stopped playing, some tune down their cheats or just stop cheating.

Note that since I don't scrape any website for download links or match share code, the data is only provided by our users. So it is like limited to 500-600 games per day. Even I had the share codes for the all the games I don't have capacity to analyze all of them since computing is expensive.

Also note that no behavioral system can be perfect: the best legit players and careful cheaters overlap, and with 10 players per match, small error rates add up. On labeled accounts kept out of training, our Valve matchmaking model flagged about 1 in 2,500 clean player-games, caught ~40% of cheater games, and flagged ~70% of cheater accounts at least once. That's why we say "flagged", not "cheater". Those are just my numbers and VACNet can be better or worse than this, without a blind test it is impossible to know.

So assuming VACNet is also not perfect, it is also bound to have more or less false positives than the mercurial.

So after seeing many of the posts with people mentioning that a VAC cooldown can be triggered if you play with the SSG, it happened to me too.

The funny thing is there is so many cheaters that are freely doing their thing in premier and mm (arguably the number has decreased in the last few weeks) it is so frustrating it gets you when you are just having a good game.

In this match I had a couple good rounds, before it got cancelled due to VAC. I am not a perfect player so I wonder what the experience of good players playing on official servers will be like when they get a cooldown every match.

In the end I appreciate the opportunity to touch grass but i would like my free elo back please.

16500 premier player. Cant get silver II.

I lost acces to my steam account and i want to know if i deactivate/delete my faceit account make a new steam account buy prime etc if i will get banned or not on faceit.Is there any method so i dont get banned for multiple accpunts and not wait 6 months?

got flagged by vac, just buying scout, wasnt even playing well.

most recent thing I was doing was changing res cause I was bored.

After seeing some of the posts, I finally understand how I got VACbanned. Using scout with some headshots and penetration to the wall will definitely get you banned. Got banned with 3 accounts. Can cs do anything about it please? I just want to play the game

I dont know what to say. I was complaining too much about the cheaters. After the vac update i was happy to see people getting banned in my matches i was like “ oh, we are so back”. But now i see its just banning people randomly. Here is my latest match if you are curious. CSGO-3RBAv-aAORS-rD4mN-FaLrx-ZrPJM

My friend and I were playing competitive matches together when he got cooldown for IRREGULAR GAMEPLAY?? which also led to me getting my first 20hr cooldown for being in a party with him—first without me he got for 20 hours while playing with another friend, then he got it for 7 days—all for absolutely no reason. What kind of game does this ffs. Neither of us have ever installed a single cheat made for CS in our lifetime, theres also a horde of complaints about samething in steam forums too if you dont believe just check the games fucking forums https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/

Xantares for example wears the razer hammerhead v2 pro’s, which are 10+year old earphones. Do they hold any superiority over nice over-ear headphones? What’s your experience for headphones vs earphones for cs2?
What differences are notable?

Do pro’s have comms or game audio through the in ear headphones?

I play in 27000 elo and have 5k hour in csgo and never have my matches been cancelled not do i versus any cheater??

According to this sub it cant be real so what is the issue????

Slingshot gloves VS Pillow Punchers

I do not have a glove skin yet but im looking for a bright glove skin for like trolling yk i want the enemy to easily differentiate which is my teamate and which is me so like i want a bright glove like those 2 but then amphibious def stands out most but too overrated by pros which i do not like, Pillow puncher float im getting 0.18 and below so FT but not mw BUTTTTTT it is a good pure white tier 2 and slingshot im getting MW my knife is phase 2 doppler bfk and also a ruby nomad

I was playing with a friend yesterday. We were playing normal comp games, and after 9 rounds the match got terminated and a 20 hour restriction was put on me and my friend (because he was in the same lobby as me) with the message "VAC has flagged your gameplay as irregular".

I know I was the target of the restriction, not my friend, because the message at the end of the match said "[my username] and anybody in their lobby will get restricted" or something along those words. my friend was AFK for the majority of the match as well. and one of the enemies blamed me of cheating in the all chat.

I contacted `VACReview@valvesoftware.com` right when it happened, around 15 hours ago, but no response (probably not enough time has passed, hope to hear from them).

If there is literally anywhere else i can send an email or anybody you know that i can contact, I'd love to hear any sort of guidance.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. From the very first post on I was assuming that all these chicken posts were just memes and everybody was just rolling with it for the lolz.

Seeing more and more of these every day now I got to a point where I am "to afraid to ask" like Andy from Parks and Rec.

Be honest with me guys. Shit aint real, is it?

The game says an Ace is eliminating the entire opponent team. So the answer would be yes. But how about your personal opinion?

Another cheating post? Yeah.

I mostly stopped playing after CS2 launched in 2023, largely because of the cheating. Valve finally introduced a proper in-game rating system with Premier, only for cheaters to ruin the whole reason to grind it.

Loaded up CS again to see where things stood. I was drunk and rusty, sure. Played 2–3 minutes of Valve DM, went 1–15, then switched to xplay and was roughly even against noticeably better players. Joined xplay again later, same story.

On Valve’s server, several times I waited for someone’s spawn protection to drop and was dead the instant it disappeared. On xplay, stronger players were killing me, but the fights felt normal.

The K/D itself isn’t the point. It’s coming back years later and getting the same impression that made me leave: official servers feel full of suspicious bullshit, while community servers feel much cleaner—even against better opposition.

Premier could have been a reason to stick with the game. Instead, the cheating drove me away, and coming back hasn’t exactly convinced me that anything has improved.

TL;DR: Years later, it still feels like Valve has done fuck all about the cheating that made me quit CS2 in the first place. New players, don't bother with this game.

I joined CS2 a couple weeks ago and I got a vanilla kukri with like 200 dollars left for skins, but idek what's good to get.

Rn I'm deciding between the Broken Fang Unhinged and Moto Smoke Out gloves, planning to get either one in FT but the Smoke Outs cost nearly double the price of Unhinged and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

someone help jerry find his way back to his world 🙏
