New Anticheat System In CS2 – VAC LIVE

Reliable dataminer Aquarius, whose forays have been confirmed in our previous articles on Counter Strike 2, has revealed some information about Valve's refreshed version of Anti-Cheat.

The files mention a new system named as "VAC Live". One of its features will end matches as soon as a cheater is detected.
