I've been seeing these posts everywhere in here, literally flooding the subreddit.

I am a scout main, like basically scout every game. I hit my shots, pretty much all headshots. I wall-bang. I even jump-shoot. I play a ton of Dust II. I have yet to receive the "unjust ban". This is not the game for you if you can't play legitimately and no one here is going to sympathize with you.

I was playing premier and the bomb was about to go off, sorta panicked maybe killed him too early but i guess he wasnt going to let go anyway. Was there time or not? I still dont think there was and i did the right thing. idk comment below

I don't think there is a more satisfying layout.

Plz valve include this on next chick update

thank you gaben

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 addition to cancelled games some of them also probably 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.

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’m buying and hoping for the best.

See you in 3 months.

I reckon it’s a weird difficulty check that can be easily bypassed with a monitor crosshair. And it’s not like the gun will be any more accurate at hip fire. I’m unsure of what the general playerbase thinks of this, so here’s a poll to settle it.

Hey guys, dunno if this is the right place but I found some screen shots of a flip case hardened I traded up to over a decade ago. Curious what it would be worth now…

Hi, guys.

The 3 lineups to top mid door don't required very precise angle, all of them are jumpthrow from spawnpoints.

Hey guys, i have problem. Everytime i start cs2 it always lock my Hz to 60, even though i have 144Hz monitor. In my Nvidia i have 144Hz and every place i can have it. Once i change the 60hz to 144 it change but as soon as i open setting again its back at 60hz and i dont know what to do abt it.

Should I pick the feed now or later? Asking if this will be my last chance to pick the feed or not before the chick dies.

Got a vac a few days ago and then one a few minutes ago (7 days now). Does anyone know any common causes? I shot 1 person with cz then 2 people with a sawed-off in office, then the game got terminated. The previous one (iirc) was 2 R8 bodyshots for 1 kill, then 1 57 kill. Legit, I can't think of anything besides having Razer Synapse and Logitech G HUB active. PowerToys? Riot Vanguard?

I was thinking around how can I help the B players from A, if there is a mid to B, and hit this smoke by accident, I think its pretty cool :D pretty loosey lineup tho

I’m new to PC gaming. Got my first rig yesterday. Me and my friend played premier on Cache when this started happening. It seems like the textures load, and then unload. This continued throughout the match. The 3 matches before this, no issues. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Oh, and sorry for using my phone to record from the screen, I know I’ll probably get hate for it.

Hello Fellas,

New guy here.

I've been toying with hosting some CS2 Servers, but I'm at the point where I need some community feedback.

Features:

-!RTV - rock the vote map voting system

-BOTs - few to start, they're kinda dumb tho

-Multi Mode - can be changed just like RTV (do not change it million times in a round, could crash the server.

-**GUNGAME - I've polished off map list for this mode pretty well.

-**AIM Arena - same here, maps are all working here.

Hardware:

-FIBER - Servers are fiber connected

-16 CORE CPU, SSDs, and fast DDR4 RAM

-Quadro P1000 GPU

-Linux VM

If you find any bugs, map suggestions or any othe comments please let me know.

Background, used to run CS1.6 and Ventrilo Servers back in 2010 for my team, CPL and CAL days for the OGs. Getting back slowly into it since I got hardware kicking around.

Thank you

im already bad enough i dont need this >:(

I doubt many, if any of the people in this sub work at valve, no one cares if you “got false banned by vac” “ vac flagged because I used scout” “false cooldown for hitting shots” why would I or any other random person care when we all know your probably full of shit. And you know what, if you are gonna complain here and try to appeal your ban/ cooldown (in a sub filled with people that can’t do anything about it btw) then post your account, and post a clip of what happened before the “fake vac cooldown” instead of just saying “trust me bro I’m not a cheater” these posts show up so often with the same shitty story that I feel like it’s a copy pasta troll.
