An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system

[lksilesian]

Computer: Asus gaming laptop, gtx 860m

Software installed: well... operating system, drivers, STEAM and mouse software... seriously this is gaming laptop NOTHING else IS INSTALLED.

Scenario: playing game, suddenly out of nowhere: An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system.

Problem: what on the holly ♥♥♥♥, in the middle of the game. I mean i knew what i am signing up for when i started using steam/valve services but this seriosuly outpaces the crap i heard about vavle.

Solution: get all my friends of valve/steam on tho another platform/game, solution in progress.

ps.: Just seriously sick and tired of this ♥♥♥♥. I add funds, they got frozen for a week: new payment method used - what??? But i have just used this card to purchase a game a bloody week ago - nope, different method... yeah.
Playing game, nothing literally nothing changes in computer setup, in the middle of game: vac problem with your computer - blah, enough is enough.

What i have tried so far:
laptop restart - did not resolve issue
enabling dep on all programs/services - ditto
removing -tcp flag from steam client (workaround to connectivity issues) - ditto

scar. I had the same problem. I did all the workarounds. Search for the one where u go in the cmd prompt and do something like "steamservice.exe -repair" that fixed it for me ONCE. However it happened to me again about a week later. All I did was restart Steam, no help. Restarted CPU, no help. I kept joining community servers that were VAC protected. Sometimes I couldn't even join, other times it would kick me 15-20 min in (kinda like it does when ur playing comp). I was using one of the idle/achievment servers. After 3 tries, I was on the server for 45 mins and haven't had the problem again..
It's frustrating and all I can suggest is how to test it without getting kicked from a comp game and getting banned. I emailed them and they just respond with "This is not a VAC problem, it's yours."

Siruss, i have just checked my harddrive - it was bad, repaired. I have also checked steam files integrity for cs:go, it was messed up, repaired. Hope this will fix the issue.

Dixie could you please resolve your life issues on some other site, not here. You have no life and came here to troll or for whatever reason - i do not care mate. If you have anything to add in regarding to the issue at hand - please feel free to do so.

Siruss, tested for 20 minutes... seems working. I will continue to play, will see what happens. Perhaps this might be another fix for people having this issue.

I had the same thing with a message that is rare for me, playing a csgo comp match and it poped up first, I was like "Uh?" then restarting csgo to see if it's a bug, still the same message, so then i had to get a cooldown, which was annoying, because I was playing a good bit of a match. but what i had tried also at the time was tempory disabling my AVG for a short bit as i restart csgo, still the same.

After waiting for my cooldown to clear, I then tried to go into a comp match again and it then didn't show it anymore which was weird.

My personal thought about the issue was that maybe valve themself were sorta blocking me from playing to check my account and system etc since I may have been reported a number of time's over that I got really lucky shot's on matches that yet other's think that I am hacking etc, it's just stupid.

Try and close Steam then delete everything in your Steam folder except SteamApps and Steam.exe.

Please don't spread misinformation. This has nothing to do with people trying to cheat or custom skins or configuration scripts.

Valve doesn't "sorta block people" from playing to "check their account system etc." due to user reports. User reports might get a user VAC checked more often, but VAC is entirely automated and will NOT take any reports into consideration when applying a ban flag, only the presence of known cheat signatures or alterations to the game will trigger it.

Some games use other systems such as Overwatch and Treyarch, which may be handled differently, but they are not VAC. Valve isn't causing this "something on your PC is blocking VAC" issue, it's a user side problem.

Exactly this, the error that the user is getting is probably because of a connection issue or the VAC service is not running correctly, either way it's an issue on the users end. It has nothing to do with reports or anything like that, I once had almost the exact same issue in BF3 with PunkBuster, it was kicking me after 2 mins because the Punkbstra service had issues starting, so I just re-installed PunkBuster which fixed it.

The issue with VAC is that you can't just re-install it since it is built in, but it works flawlessly on millions of computers, so it is a problem on the users end 99.999% of the time. It could be a permissions issue or a firewall/anti-virus issue, you will just have to go through one by one disabling whatever other programs you are running at the same time, if it still doesn't work then contact Steam Support.

Issue resolved.

I have had problem with my hard drive. It was badly corupted = corupted steam files. I have fixed hard drive, scanned couple of times steam game files, all broken were re-downloaded. Played yesterday couple of hours without the issue.

Thanks to all willing to help, and sorry for venting :) The truth is, i cannot live without CS:GO :P
