CS2 VAC Problem
I got the new CS2 beta and Ive been playing until I started having this issue. When I start a competitive premiere game, I can play for a few rounds before I get kicked out of the match with a message from the game saying: "You cannot play on secure servers for one of the following reasons: an issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system." I just downloaded a new system and only have CSGO and CS2 on it so I dont see where the problem is.

I've been having this problem for months now and nothing can fix it. I have even completely uninstalled the game and it's still not fixed. I have gotten multiple cooldowns in the past 2 days because of it

Just getting back at this issue, the only fix I found was completely reinstalling windows. Never happened again

Unfortunately, this is a huge problem. Which VALVE hasn't solved yet, at least it can't be seen... They rushed us into the CS2 beta and took CS:GO away from us. Which wasn't perfect, but it was better. Because all this scum of a society of cheaters was moving to CS2. It was too soon VALVE! You should have made a functional and full-fledged game for CS:GO, but it didn't happen on the contrary... Sad

No, this is not a problem. This was in CS:GO too. VAC checking some files by their hash and if it's not valid then you getting an error. That's it.

If you got this error you have to go into CS folder:
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64

and look for a file: foreign.signatures
open it with a notepad and check what's wrong.
at least it could says what exactly the VAC is don't like in your system.

also neither steam nor CS shouldn't be ran as admin. never. if it's not working w/o admin rights, you have to reinstall windows cuz something is fked up.

Hey. Do you know, if I buy a windows license and simply activate windows (i am currently running a cracked windows), would my game work again or would i have to completely reinstall windows?

It doesn't matter what OS you have.

In general, it is better not to discuss pirated software, you may be banned.
Piracy is bad, we don't approve of that :cleanseal: mhmmm...
But I want to let you know that I know there are different types of cracks and they can interfere with VAC or any others Anti-Cheat.
I'll just give you a hint that the easiest thing to do is to change the address of the KMS server :smile: But all "possible" consequences are on your conscience and responsibility.

But in any case, if you are going to do this on your system, in its current state, I am not sure you will be able to clean the system from the effects of your activator.

Use windows defender and uninstall all other anti-virus. When I had this problem in CSGO it's almost always caused by an anti-virus.

If you want to uninstall, remember to delete the entire 730 folder before redownloading.

So i should i uninstall all my anti-virus softwares, and uninstall cs2? Or just the anti-viruses?

I tried this and it works

Verify Integrity of Game Files:
This step often works well.
In Steam, right-click your game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of files.
Wait for the process to finish, then restart the game.

same issue here 3 times tonight. This game is garbage now. Stupid VAC issues with normal players like us but constant cheaters actively playing... F steam
