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: http://imgur.com/a/nZEgR

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.

Hi NCSGeek and welcome to PCHF :)

Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop. Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator. When the program opens select the following boxes:

Flush DNS
Report IE Proxy Settings
Reset IE Proxy Settings
Report FF Proxy Settings
Reset FF Proxy Settings
List content of Hosts
List IP Configuration
List Winsock Entries
List last 10 Event Viewer Errors
List Installed Programs
List Devices (Only Problems)
List Users, Partitions and Memory size

Please post the log in your next reply :)
 
Zoek Scan

Disable your antivirus prior to this scan.
Download Zoek
Save the file to your desktop.
Right click Zoek.exe and run as administrator. (XP Users double click)
Copy and paste the items in red below and paste them into Zoek.

createsrpoint;
emptyfolderscheck;delete
emptyclsid;
emptyalltemp;
ipconfig /flushdns;b
ResetHosts;
autoclean;

Now hit the run script button.
The log will appear after a reboot, also you can find it on the C: drive.
Post the log in your next reply.
 
Ok, I will try Zoek in a bit, need a good time to reboot. But why another scan? Just curious
 
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?
 
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
 
Well, I tried spectating games, and playing a few. I cant seem to trigger it. So I guess I can call it fixed for now?

I thank you for all of your help. Truly. I will return if I get a reply, or the issue re-appears.


Thanks,
NCSGeek

If you experience more issues, please don't hesistate to let us know :)

Valve doesn't tend to add things without anyone knowing, which is why my first thought was a line in your HOSTS file that might've been harmless before but then Valve decided to do something and now that one line messes things up. :)
