VAC Improving?
In Gabe Follower's latest video (Link provided below), he briefly talks about what I assume is the the new report system from a few updates back. And he sates that being able to report multiple reasons if a player is cheating can "clog the database". But it feels like he's mentioning about how reporting players can ironically improve VAC. How it does, we're not entirely sure, but I can say with some certainty that reporting might end up somehow working. Maybe they can save Premier so we won't have to install FACEIT where too may sweats are (I'll take sweaty players over cheaters everyday).

Here's the video at the correct timestamp for more clarity. https://youtu.be/fjzlAoMluXE?t=165

can't even bother watching, cuz i know how rich companies work: all they care about is money and in public they say whatever people want to hear, they lie thru their teeth. this is how you get rich, you have to detach yourself emotionally and only care about money.

ALL big companies do this, they tell you what you want to hear to maintain their public image. we can all see VAC is broken. even if it does detect a cheater, it takes 10+ days for vac to ban them.

if anyone in high place in valve would actually care about the state of the game, they'd be playing the game themselves to see what is going on, but they can't bother, so they have no idea the state the game is in, they only read their log files and pushing pencils behind the desk, that's all they do and this is why state of the game is so poor, they make decisions based on logs only.
they REFUSE to review any info manually

There are a lot of "coulds" and "ifs" in that video. It's just a random YouTuber with terrible accent who has no coding experience whatsoever. Obviously, he is promoting a third party skin website with an affiliate link because he can't create his own. Everything he says is purely theoretical, and I don't really want to bash him, but he is talking nonsense.

Database is not a freaking toilet...Overloading means database is experiencing more requests than the hardware can handle and saturating refers to reaching bandwidth capacity.

It's a matter of practice. My accent used to suck too, but now it's pitch perfect.

In ReHLDS we used the best anti-cheating methods, we had several talented cheat makers on top of 100+ contributors involved in that project...it wasn't enough to stop all cheats but it surpassed what Valve could ever achieve by light years.

Everyone who was keeping this game alive with fixes, maps, mods and assets has retired. Here's a quote from the best GoldSrc engine developer and modder I've known: "I'm done with this trash engine" ... he is working for Tencent now.

There are private fixes for rapid fire, magic bullet, spinbot, and a few more, BUT Valve has curbed the community servers even removed Fast DL. That is the thanks we get for contributing all these years. That is also why CS 2 somewhat deserves all the cheaters and will NEVER get rid of them.

Valve Is Continually Improving VAC, And Reporting Players Who Violate The Rules Is A Big Help To Our Beloved Community. Please Continue Reporting Those Who Break Rules And Rest Assured That VAC Is Working Exactly As Intended :steamhappy:
