VAC updated or a massive ban wave happened just now.

[Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC]

Looks like Valve did something. Tons of bots just got VAC banned. Not only that, it seems like the alleged VAC bypass that has been rumored was fixed since all the VAC banned bot accounts are currently listed as offline.

From August of 2021 to February of 2022 I added every bot I encountered to my ban list, and my ban list only consisted of those 439 bots. I just checked them and many show "1 VAC ban on record | Info
0 day(s) since last ban".

Some of DoesHotter bots I have on my list are VAC banned.
Nearly all of the OMEGATRONIC bots are banned
Nearly all of the Big Smoke bots are banned
Almost none of the F*ck Nemo bots are banned
Almost none of the Default Sniper Bots are banned
Almost none of the ♥♥♥♥♥ bots are banned
Almost none of the old PedoBots/Barry White/etc (name changes often) bots are banned

So I guess enjoy almost bot free casual...if that is your thing for whatever reason... while it lasts.

Tf2 got so bad, the sentient spaghetti code developed its own defense system to keep itself safe

I am not sure if any of the recently common bots are banned. It would be a totally Valve move though if nearly all the bot accounts that got vacced were mostly old bots that have not been active for months.

That's interesting, I checked my report list too and there are currently 4 banned bots that I encoutered in casual for the last month.

Its not just bots, i accused someone of wallhacking and ten seconds later he got vac banned, then shortly after a second player that i did not even suspect also got vaced. Two in the same match haha.

And did you go to their profiles to ensure they actually got VAC banned 0 days ago?

Perhaps they updated against old cheats or some of the current popular free cheats.

Since not all bots uses the same injector nor vacbypass program.

I wonder if that vague af system message earlier was related to it at all.

Hmm,maybe ?
Maybe they shotdown for 5 minutes so they can update VAC ?
Hard to tell this is VALVe after all.

Not fixing it "UPDATING" it.
So they already fix or update it and just need to update it for the game.
