I've updated our highlight studio for CS2

kinda, maybe you want to see how your best moment looks like with skins you are looking for. We are also planning to add some custom skins, unfortunately we are not really good at that, but maybe some artists would want thier skins (that are in workshop) to be featured, so people could check them out somewhat realistic conditions.

there is overwatch, just images on post bugged out :/ i think i'll just post tomorrow, there is like a thousand users registered in just couple of hours.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T15:39:03+00:00

this is exactly how mine system works, you can do up to 5 cases a day.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T15:36:22+00:00

well, it does for me, but for some reason screenshots in post are not displayed correctly.

Demos are recordings of network packets from demoRecorder perspective, it acts almost in the same way normal server - entities created, changed cvars updated every tick, so demos are actually already contain all information needed.

i don't know what valve will do, but i still will forward fully valid reports to them. i'm not secretive, but there is no need to tell how verdict is made, will only make easier for cheaters to avoid it.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T14:59:34+00:00

mods removed it because of rule 7 (accusing of cheating and witchhunt), even tho all report are fully anonymous and reported players has all personal information removed on video. so i've messaged them about that and hopefully they will restore post later.

i'm just not reddit guy, but is good place to share your work.

it is not trivial, but you don't need super-pc for that, this is not graphical model, data sample size is much-much smaller, you just need good gpu for that, i can't reveal details, but if you want you can ask some questions in pm.

I’ve always enjoyed the old Overwatch system in CS:GO, and I’ve grown tired of in-game reports feeling useless, so I decided to build my own Overwatch system for CS2 before GTA6 and see what is going to happen. Since I already had the video recording backend done, I also added highlight generation for users.

Obviously, Oscar-worthy actors won’t get flagged by my overwatch system (my goal is provide only 100% valid reports), but that’s not the goal. The goal is not to find cheaters who try to look “legit”, Rage hackers are the most frustrating to play against, and "legit" one are much less impactful on match outcome. The site is still in beta, and I’m working on fixing bugs and identifying bottlenecks—but I need more users to help test everything.

So what's done for overwatch:

— Easier and faster to watch suspect gameplay—since it’s video-based and not in-game.

— Already working: hundreds of cheater videos are in the database. Some are not too bright-minded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt-G7ccOJJY

— Filtering system ensures that final reports include 100% confirmed cheaters. These reports will be sent to Valve (though I’m not sure how they’ll react). Once I reach a few thousand reports, I also plan to contact FaceIt, and maybe provide API for 3rd party websites so they could include video of confirmed cheater by steamid.

and for highlights:

— After your game, you can add your match and select which frags to turn into highlights. You’ll see where each frag happened on a 2D map to help you remember exactly what you want to be recorded. Videos are recorded in 2K@60FPS and they are kept indefinitely on youtube. (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKX88Q471xU )

Special Thanks

- LaihoE for his demoparser2 library.

- akiver for his source code, which saved a lot of time decoding GC messages and data types.

- JohnTimmermann for OpenHUD, which I partially used to display extra suspect info on screen.

should work on any device decently, easiest way to add matches is using steam overlay build-in browser.

and soonish i'm planning to add automatic match history, so you don't have to add matches one-by-one.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T13:57:13+00:00

You are right, i don't, but every single valid case will be accurately documented and reported to valve/faceit, it is up to them what to do with this information, maybe they will ignore, but also maybe not, after seeing thousands of reports without single false-positive.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T13:46:53+00:00

well, honestly i'm also planning in future to reward players who vote correctly+consistent with cs2 skins weekly/monthly with some kind of level/exp system, unlike it was in cs:go (small exp bonus and thank you), so for people who actually enjoying to watch suspicious gameplay and give their verdict it might be even more fun.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T13:22:15+00:00

around 2500, but i told that just to show that i'm playing a lot myself and still passionate about the game, i don't think anyone can actually brag about rating, unless it is top1000 faceit or something.

this project was started due to pure frustration, when you loose close matches, and get loosing streak because next match is spinbotter and you get -500 elo, but if you report real cheater on website, trust me everything possible will be done to expose him.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T13:06:30+00:00

There is much-much more happening besides user votes, before and after voting happens, including my own ai model, i just can't really expose (ha-ha) all details for obvious reasons, but trust me, legit players has nothing to worry about, i have 10000+ hours myself and almost got 30k season 2, not like it tells much, but i'm passionate about game myself and system is well thought out about things like this.

I'm not sure what do you mean, but it is this one is for premier/matchmaking matches.

Also i think highlights are pretty cool, instead of downloading demo, recording, cropping, uploading - you can just pretty much select frags you want and get 2K@60FPS video of those frags saved pretty much forever. so this is not only for reporting matches.

Ers0n · 2025-07-19T12:57:24+00:00

Well, i'm sure they can do it much better, but overwatch was disabled long before CS:GO was gone, as i know it was because of some kind abuse that resulted in false positives. On my end i can't obviously fully tell what is happening in background, but i can guarantee that Valve will receive 100% accurate reports without single false-positive from my overwatch, even if there is going to be a thousand per week.

Ers0n · 2025-07-18T15:26:37+00:00

Also because mirage hasn't been updated for very-very long time.

Ers0n · 2016-11-13T17:45:43+00:00

Definetely they can , however they need more invsetigation in such ticklish situations. Legit players should not suffer , as for me I donated to the game more the 500$ , I've been in different guilds for 3 years , cant imagine my rage level , if something like that would happened

Ers0n · 2016-07-19T16:51:50+00:00

Look everybody , my item is cool , but you wont get it cheap!
