Got CS2, Can't play. VAC issue
1st I couldn't even open the game, but was able to after opening it in the steam folder in program files. Now that it's open that way, it gives me the VAC message "Some of your game files have been detected to have no signatures or invalid signatures. You will not be allowed to join VAC secure servers. Please verify your launch options, check correctness of your game installation, restart the game and try again."
I feel like I've tried everything.

Why would you lose it? It is tied to your account. You don't lose games by uninstalling them or reinstalling them.

Anyone fixed the issue?

Just looked at your profile. US country. Now i know why Valve didn't adhere their own requirements. They prioritized US and UK region regardless what the requirements say it was.

Hey
Had the same issues as u and tried the old ways and it works.

-> Unmark "Run file as Administrator" - the cs2.exe
-> Disable Overlay from Discord and Nvidia Experience app
-> Verify the files in Steam
-> Update to latest Nvidia graphics files
-> Update Windows Update

After all this I had my first MM game in Counter Strike 2 against "real" players and the prompt about VAC Valve AntiCheat is gone.
