VACnet, the new monster developed by Valve to end up against cheaters

Tired of being criticized for the low usefulness of VAC, Valve has developed VACnet, a much more powerful system, which will not miss any cheater and cause them to be expelled from Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

The main problem with all multiplayer video games are cheats and that is that the servers fill up with this type of people who have no idea of ​​playing and need to cheat to win. One of those that suffers the most is Counter Strike: Global Offensive and to protect it is Valve Anti-Cheating or VAC, which works well, but there are always places where hackers and cheaters sneak in, showing themselves in quite a few games, but it's easy to hunt and report them.

The company knows that VAC is not all that good and for this, they have got down to work and have put steroids into this system and have developed VACnet, a set of blade systems that will have the job of reviewing the games of those players reported. These repeated games will be analyzed in a meticulous way, to detect if they use WAllhack, AImBot or any other type of cheat that gives them advantages in the game.

VACnet is based on a special farm of servers, where each blade consists of a total of 54 cores combined with 128GB of RAM. A total of 16 blades have been arranged in four sets, so the final performance of this brutal system is 3.456 cores and 8.192GB of RAM. VACnet has been tested in Overwatch with excellent results and will now be implemented in Counter Strike: Global Offensive. At last we can play in peace.

'When a human being analyzes a case in Overwatch, the probability that they will get a punishment is only 15-30 percent, and that varies depending on various factors, such as the time of year, the game is on sale, etc. There are many things, but the point is that human safety is very, 'said a Valve worker.

'VACnet punishments are very high, when VACnet presents a case, it punishes it 80 to 95 percent of the time'
