If you know of a new cheat, especially private cheats (ones that aren't on a public website), and can provide the links or the actual binaries, please send an email with pertinent information to the following email address:

vacreview [at] valvesoftware [dot] com

All emails are read and reviewed by the VAC development team.

That is all.

That is all.

To be honest though, half decent private cheats still won't be detected. For example, bithax has unique builds for each subscriber. Even if they were to get access to the cheat, the only person who would be vacced would be whoever is using the same build, and in this case, nobody.

Unfortunately I don't think there will ever be a time where cheaters don't exist.


EDIT: Here is what the owner has to say

"Unique signatures. Each file is fully randomized on disk and in memory for each user, no two builds are ever the same "

Tl:dr - Assuming what he said is true, reporting the cheat to valve won't do anything (And since I used to use them for 3 years in a row and never got detected, I am going to assume it is true)

KateBot is free, public and open source for +3 years and never got detected.

Vac is just bad and Valve doesn't give a fuck

Does this make you a snitch? 😆

Cheats will always evolve. As long as there are games, there will be cheats. Do we know if Valve has actually taken any action around a certain cheat after it was submitted for review?

I don't know how Valve has not managed to get a wrangle on the Linux ecosystem yet. Its single-handily dominating TF2 at the moment.
Oh wait, that's right. They don't really care about TF2...

Had no idea of this. Ngl I hate cheaters in CSGO.
