CS:GO kicking me from VAC secured servers

[NCSGeek]

Hello, thank you to anyone who has the interest in helping me.

So my issue is that while playing on a VAC-Secured CS:GO server, after a few hours or so I will get kicked saying that something on my PC is blocking VAC. (I attatched a screenshot of the exact message, called screenshot_1.png)

Now, I already contacted steam support, after following that link that is provided diligently with no success. And this is what they gave me: [MEDIA=imgur]a/nZEgR[/MEDIA]

I’ve looked around google as well. Nothing really useful. I’m not the type to just goto a forum for any kind of issue, I’m fluent enough with computers to fix most issues I have, but this issue has no aparent cause, or solution.

So. If anyone has any idea of how to fix this. Please let me know. I am following this thread with email notifications which I check on frequently. Thanks.

Ok, I will try Zoek in a bit, need a good time to reboot. But why another scan? Just curious

It helps us to diagnose the issue you are having..

[NCSGeek]

Sorry for the wait. Here you go.

[jmarket]

Go ahead and try the affected games again

[NCSGeek]

Ok. Ill try it. Although I didnt change anything other than what zoek did?

It cleared out empty folders, reset your hosts file, and deleted bad directories. Hopefully with this it’ll allow VAC and Steam to function at 100%

[NCSGeek]

True. Ill try CSGO asap. Only inconvinence is that I have to redo my hosts file

[jmarket]

I would advise against doing so until we can get VAC to work. Some of those entries may have been blocking VAC

[NCSGeek]

Oh? What do I have that blocks VAC?

[jmarket]

You had 29,000 entries in your hosts file. One of those might’ve been blocking VAC. It’s uncertain to say for sure as we don’t know the full contents of your HOSTS file.

Are you able to confirm if CS:GO is working correctly on VAC-secured servers?

[NCSGeek]

I can guarantee that it isnt a hosts entree, unless they added something new (Which wouldnt really make sense) then it isnt my host entries. I had that exact hosts file for a year or two and never had an issue. Im gonna play CSGO for a while and report back with results
