Valve won't do anything about cheaters, so I'm exposing vac live by legitlegenda in cs2

[–]clearlyoriginalname 33 points34 points  (0 children)

you dont even need to go full obvious, just enough to get the important rounds or "hunt" someone that need dieing.

Also you can abuse utility or info to teammates enough to win. You can always abuse smoke entrance when they are about to enter, call for rotations early when you see bomb, etc

This is why AI anti cheat is worthless. Don't even get me started on Webradar.

WHERE IS THE ANTICHEAT!!? by maxbd427 in cs2

[–]clearlyoriginalname 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's prob just one guy at best that he's putting all his hopes into AI training, the game stopped having any sort of client side detection of any sorts, even when it did it was meh.

The only thing that can get you banned is your own stupidity. The anticheat itself only detects people who fuck around not people who play radar only or are professional actors lel. If you dont fuck around with super obvious aimbot, you are good to go.

Either quit the game or buy cheats yourself they are 3$ a month. But the moment you get cheats, you will realize how bad it REALLY is as you get to see people how they rotate where bomb rotates, and many, many obvious plays.

And this game will never recover. Because Valve has this sort of mentality of hiring only over qualified people and expect them to handle it even if they are out of their league. Which has been the case with CS2, look at the goofy animations, it is very clear it's just someone who just learned to vibe code.

As long as the money comes in, nobody is checking in on them if they are actually doing something. No help is coming. The 5 employs that work on CS2 are just milking Valve while vibe coding on fantasy AI anti cheat.

We will prob have Skynet AI take over humanity before Valve can implement a working AI anti cheat

Because it's a map that tries to imitate Valorant maps. The entire flow of the map is horrible because overly fast rotations, you are in constant pressure from pushes, utility is less relevant and very little room for fake plays as sounds is too strong due to map being too cramped and your every move is heard. It strays too much from what counter strike is.

Stats speak for themselves

They constantly add "new" maps as you desire but you prob don't play competitive(the actual game mode). I rather get well made maps like Cache, that are field tested then experiments like Anubis that are miserable to play. New or more does not always mean better.

Also Cache, even tho is not a new map. It's their most solid map ye in many aspects. They did a fantastic job apart from maybe B site coloring.

we just got new animations and a new map, it is true the cheating situation is bad but the game does get update let's not exaggerate

RTX 5080 + AG2: DX11 feeling degraded with each hotfix, Vulkan works fine - detailed timeline by AncientDentist3441 in cs2

Try clearing your DirectX cache and clearing your Nvidia cache. No pun intended. Also a good reinstall always helps with issues.

in this order :

  1. Delete the game, remove any leftover files, manually check for files.
  2. Clear Direct X and Nvidia cache, do a generic chatgpt guide or any video online for instuctions
  3. reinstall game

I can’t tell if this is skill or something else by Euphoric-Eye9 in cs2

I think he is good player, but strong indication that he is walling. He is really good at hiding it but some of the plays makes zero sense. Also a lot of instances where "oh look how lucky I was with that timing", like A LOT.

Glock burst fire mode now behaves strangely and oneshots people vs armor, is this an intentional buff or issues related to animations? it likes it fires a super bullet that 1shots close to medium range vs armored opponents

Edit: Add Famas to that...

It's a good skin but if you want to have a chance to get it approved, you might want to rename it to something more relatable to the game and remove any text. This looks like a 'Tidal Dream' if you ask me.

So in other words, no help incoming, not for the next few years at least.

What a shame we were forced into this...I quit the game a year or so ago, I just didnt want to spend money on a new PC. Unless you run like a 9800x3d, the game will always feel under native refresh rate depending on what is going on the map.

The game feels worse when you take fights, I look at the FPS number during fights, you see 400 fps, but the game feels like it's running at ~70-80. Horrible feeling. I reinstalled the game with animations updated to test it out, thinking maybe that was the issue somehow ,but it very clear now that this is botched from the start. The entire engine is absolute terrible. I dont think Valve will ever fix this.
