Professional CS player ropz has criticized Valve’s anti-cheat system, the Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC), for its poor performance in dealing with cheaters. He shared a video on Twitter showcasing a cheater dominating other players on Dust 2 without any consequences. This has sparked further criticism from the CS community, with many expressing their dissatisfaction with VAC’s inability to effectively prevent cheating.
Some players believe that the prevalence of cheaters may lead to CS2’s Premier mode being overshadowed by alternative matchmaking and anti-cheat platforms like Faceit and ESEA. They argue that VAC, including its upgraded version VAC Live, has not been successful in combating cheating since the release of CS:GO.
Despite the frustration, there is still hope among some players that Valve will address the matchmaking issues and take action against cheaters. The introduction of Premier mode in CS2, which aims to cater to both professional and casual players, has shed light on the potential problems with VAC. Influential voices like ropz drawing attention to these issues may push Valve to improve their anti-cheating measures.
Valve’s anti-cheat system has faced recent controversies, such as AMD users receiving VAC bans due to their drivers. Valve has acknowledged the issue, attributing it to AMD’s Anti-Lag+ driver feature. With mounting pressure, Valve may need to reconsider their approach to anti-cheating measures to ensure the future of their game, particularly in an official capacity.
