Disconnected by VAC mid game. Please help i've tried everything.
I was playing CS:GO normally and all of a sudden i started getting this "Disconnected by VAC: You cannot play on secure servers" message, i'm not cheating or anything close to it, i'm just a casual player, after i got disconnected the first time i've tried almost all of the things on how to fix this but nothing worked. I got kicked again when it was 13:15 in the second match and got a 2h ban from competitive matcmaking, after that i've tried uninstalling my Razer Synapse and tried playing again, and again i got disconnected by valve also mid-game when it was something like 10-13 and got a 24h ban, it's almost a brand new system, i've also tried uninstalling steam and csgo and installing them again and when i got into the deathmatch the first game went smoothly and i got kicked midway through the second game, here are all the Programs i have installed on my system https://prnt.sc/wa0n51 , i've never tried installing any cheats or anything and i really hope we can fix this so i can keep on playing, thanks.

The error will be different for literally every COMPUTER, let alone every USER.

If you're still experiencing this, you need to keep trying.

I'd strongly suggest getting your internet service looked at, if you're getting disconnected - and don't go back into the game until it's stable, not "when 24 hours are up" because the moment you get disconnected, it'll be a longer and longer cooldown until it is permanent.

Make sure that your operating system hasn't changed firewall and virus scanner settings. if the OS has updated, it is likely to have changed those things, EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T TOLD IT TO.

The thing is that i play the game normally and somewhere between 30 mins - 1 hour into the game i get disconnected and i cant get back in the game at all, and if i restart my pc and try again the same thing happens i play 30-60 minutes and get kicked. What should i do with my firewall and what should i do with my internet connection? Since it's stable and i've been playing CS:GO for a long long time and this is the first time this is happening.

Are you using a wireless connection to play ? You should be able to find casual servers where you can test the problem without getting further cooldowns.

If you are using any wireless connection and hardware, you should not be while troubleshooting this error.

Use ethernet directly to the source unit (modem) from the PC itself.

I'm not using wireless connection. I'm using the ethernet cable directly plugged into my pc, also i've tried playing yesterday and i played deatchmatch and the first game of deathmatch went smoothly but i got kicked by VAC in the second one...

Have you recently reset your system or reinstalled Windows ?

I see in your screenshot that almost all the programs were installed just this month, apparently.

EDIT....Actually, all of them were.

Yeah i've reinstalled windows 10. But i was playing CS:GO and everything was fine until now. The Windows 10 that i've installed is from the official Microsoft's page so it's not a cracked version or anything.

So why did you reinstall Windows and did you have a previous version of Windows installed on the PC instead ?

Give all the details, please. The smallest thing can be relevant when troubleshooting this error.

I will next ask for the bcedit command outputs and what Windows reported they were from the support page. So hopefully, you have done those also as you said you did everything on the support page.

I've had Windows 10 Pro(the same one that i just installed again) and i reinstalled it because i had the old one for like almost a year and my PC was lagging a little bit and i was getting 70-100 fps in CS:GO but now with the new system installed im getting around 140-170, i've also tried the bcdedit commands but this is what my cmd outputs after i run the command https://prnt.sc/wa8igk it's like my system doesn't allow me to run it even if i run cmd as an administrator.

Well of course that's very valid and relevant information.

Why have you not stated this until now ? You were just going to ignore the problem with running the commands ?

Have you searched Microsoft for the relevant error and command to see what the problem might be ?

Run sfc /scannow from the same elevated command prompt and report exactly what Windows says about your OS.
Dremiq Dec 26, 2020 @ 3:06am 
I did the rfc /scannow already but i'm doing it again atm. I'll send you screenshots as soon as it finishes.
The Giving One Dec 26, 2020 @ 3:08am 
After you do that, make sure your entire system is fully up to date, with all drivers fully up to date as well as Windows 10 also.

Post the exact model and model number and manufacturer of the computer that you are using. If it is custom built, post the exact motherboard instead.

Identify the exact computer you have.

Might not be the same problem, but when I had it, reinstall of the game on another hard drive helped.
Dremiq Dec 26, 2020 @ 3:18am 
Alright so it finished and this is the cmd https://prnt.sc/wa8r3p , when i installed the system i updated my graphics card driver with GeForce experience, that's the only thing i updated/installed drivers for. The motherboard i got is ASRock H110M-DVS, also Kim Kong-un i've tried uninstalling both steam and csgo and installing them on C instead of the E partition and it didn't work either.
