Global Cooldown 20 hours- VAC has flagged your gameplay as irregular
Hi All,

I have almost 3.5k hours on CS2.
I left the game and restarted recently and my rank unlocked 4.5k.
Now I was playing Vertigo with some randoms and was in the last round but it says Match Cancelled. After the match ended it shows me a Global Cooldown for 20 hours.
When I hover onto it, it shows message "Vac has flagged your gameplay as irregular".
When I click on it, it leads me to https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/fair-play-guidelines/

I have never ever cheated in any game whatsoever, none of the other players in that match got a cooldown or any error message.

Any ideas what should I do?

it seems to be a false positive wave similar to when amd gpus got banned

when my time passed after a few rounds I got a valve again something ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but now I have 7 days and as I saw it only happens when you play with friends and only you and your friends get a time penalty

we are in the same boat bro - ban reason apparently is "unexpected error". I am playing on Linux, idk if you too.
The same thing happened to me today

Same with me yesterday I was in a game with my friends and none of them had cheats but one of my opponents did so maybe that's the problem

No. Players that get a global cooldowns have their trading rights restricted until it expires.

Solution: stop cheating or partying with cheaters to get boosted and global cooldowns will stop. This situation is pretty much the "used nothing" bs but on a new level since Valve updated their VAC.
