Discussion Valve should disable whatever API call allows for scraping chat logs

177 Upvotes

cstracker.gg is scraping all player message history from games and allowing it to be publicly searchable. I have literally never heard of a game that lets player messages be searchable in this context.

I'm probably not the worst offender here. I spend my games meowing at people and zeusing them. That doesn't need to be publicly viewable and searchable.

I downloaded the demo for each game, and each game had a cheater. Most people played with a rage mod. VAC Live triggered only once. I’m thinking of having some fun too.

Discussion AI aim assist remains completely unbanned and ignored on both valve servers and Faceit servers.

20 Upvotes

There seems to be a divide in the cs2 community. half the playerbase understand how completely flooded the game is with cheaters. Im 2.2k on faceit rn and all i play is aim assist radar abusing losers. I have never seen a single one of these players be banned. If you watch the demos in slow mo you can always find ai aim assist its very simple here is multiple examples of people ive played very recently in faceit.

When people die weird shit happens the aim assist will sometimes full track dead bodies in miliseconds of time or it will track another player instantly. If they are using an ssg or awp you can always slow down to see wobbly aim when they flick. For example they flick left they will overflick the aim assist will enable and in miliseconds correct it, the player will die and the crosshair will go back to overflicker as the aim assist turns off.

I really like to hear people explain and cope for valve and faceit and praise how good their anticheat is. I have usually 1 or 2 cheaters in each game I play at this point so I dont even que anymore.

Also, even submitting a ticket to faceit they ignore and never respond.

Here is a video I made showcasing how to catch these cheaters and just how many play on faceit.

Discussion An empirical test: Can Steam spending improve a low Trust Factor in CS2?

17 Upvotes

Saw some clips on yt and this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1u1yn7p/if_you_struggle_with_trust_factor_make_sure_you/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

and ofc Renyan short clips. My friend got low trust factor when we queue, so we decided to test this out - can we clear the low trust factor with money?

Before spending: warning showed every time when we queue.

So far we spent about €457 on his Steam account and bought around €455 in skins.

Result: warning is still there after this process,

What we did Result
Added €50 Warning
Added another €50 Warning
Added €157 + bought €257 skin Warning
Added €200 + bought €198 skin Warning

and no played games yet.

So in our case nothing changed by simply adding money or spending it on steam marketplace.

Tonight we will try several games to see if the low trust factor clears up. Will update this post if it does.

EDIT:

After 2 games (one win, one loss) we no longer have trust factor issues. Before all of this his account had lower trust factor every game we queued for at least 15 games, probably more.

And I cannot find the update that fixed this?

Tips & Guides Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap arent the same thing

16 Upvotes

RT and Snap Tap gets mixed together alot whenever HE keyboards come up.

Rapid Trigger changes when a key resets based on how far you move it. you’re still controlling that individual key normally.

Snap Tap / SOCD changes how opposite directional inputs are handled when both are pressed.

that distinction matters in CS2 as Valve specifically targets input automation like Snap Tap on official servers. having Rapid Trigger enabled by itself isnt the same thing.

so if you use one keyboard profile across different games, the setting worth checking before you launch CS2 is SOCD/Snap Tap, not whether Rapid Trigger is turned on.

easy distinction, but probably worth knowing if you’re new to HE boards.

Discussion CS2 Red Trust Update...

17 Upvotes

Did anyone get hit by the red trust stuff they added??? 2 of my friends who I've played with for years just got red... I know they're not cheaters & we don't teamkill or grief at all.

They got red trust not too long ago... And I'm not sure if it's actually my friends that cheated in the past or cheat currently or the system is just broken, because I don't have red trust & I'm 20K Elo.

Don't open cases fellow degens. After 1100 cases I got my 2nd knife after the 1st falchion autotronic bringing it up to about 700$ back and maybe 500$ in reds.

However the story was great, I sold my awp printstream to buy a new driving game to practice stick and I didn't like it so I refunded it and decided to open cases. 10 dream and nightmare got this on the 3rd. GG

I'm a silver, recently build my first Pc (not that recently) after my whole life playing on console, still getting used to mouse, last week I had the worst performance of my life, then just played dm and gun game till today (I got to say, after the ban wave this modes revived like damn)

This night I decided to give another chance and just had the best performance of my life, for the first time consistently hitting headshots, 22/14, lost by 7:13

My teammates were yapping about this guy, and this is what I found, his entire game was strange but from this moment his kittens team became lions

Being honest, why don't they go to premier? What's the meaning to cheat in mm with a knife?? (Keep on mind this can be nothing to y'all but in Brazil you don't buy a ugly knife for less than R$300 currency

Discussion How is your luck solo queuing?

5 Upvotes

For my fellow players who only solo queue and don’t have friends who play the game, What’s your Elo or face it lvl?

I’ve reached global on two maps strictly only solo queuing from nova, which took ages to get due to random teammates throwing, ect. I’m 20k premier which seems to find good teammates for the most part, but if you were a solo queue in 10k range i’d feel it’d be impossible to get your elo up.

I’ve never played faceit but imagine it’s probably higher iq players which would be better for solo players.

Discussion the cheater issue will never be solved.

7 Upvotes

Yes, valve has been slack but i don’t think understand how insane the cs2 cheat cat and mouse game is. CS is one of the only games where people are able to make a literal living out of developing hacks. Cheating is so popular in the cs community that no matter what valve does, it will always be around. If you ask a hacker in any game what got them into cheating, i can almost guarantee they started from counter strike. there is such a big culture around it and it will never go away. heck HVH (hacker vs hacker) was literally birthed through counter strike and literally remains one of the most popular subcategories of the game. HVH is just a competition of who can make the best cheats, probably a horrible thing for valve to not deal with lol. I genuinely beleive it’s not the anticheat that’s the cause for all the cheaters, it’s rather just the popularity of cheating in the videogame. ofc a more advanced anticheat would help, even just implementing something as simple as an ip and hardware ban system, which would force cheaters to spoof and use a vpn making them less motivated to cheat. but ultimately they will still always be around.
