Anyone noticed a pretty big swing in hacking lately? Lots of spin botters in Valve DM and Overwatch.

A few people I played against earlier this week are already VAC banned but I don't know if that's because there are more hackers or whether I've just been unlucky this week.

I play a fair amount of arms race and I've noticed an upswing of hackers there too trying to get their profiles to rank 3.

I've noticed a lot of hackers lately in 1v1 servers of all things. Just coming in and spinbotting their way to arena 1 and staying there. Like...what's the point? Just trolling?

Haven't noticed anything obvious at SMFC matchmaking.

2 on 1 at A site Mirage, bomb down, don't know where last guy is. I check connector, he's there, I shoot him in the head, he shoots me in the head, I have an M4, he has an AK. Last CT doesn't manage to kill him. He blames me for not killing the guy.

I love this game. I spent the rest of the game blaming him every time we'd lose a round because he didn't kill everyone.

second game of the night : "lol you hacker scum, what? you getting paid by these scubs for the carry, thrid world shitter"

Thrid game of the night : "uninstall this game or dont soloq. please."

Forth game of the night : "nice smurf bro"

etc,,

Thats my favorite thing about this game.

Also, who was captain on Inferno the other night with me ,drunk Irish guy with unintelligible accent and lovely mic, and 3 others who never talked? I felt bad for the dude, that was a tough group to marshel.

I solo queued an ESEA game on mirage. The top guy on our team was pretty good and was vibing well with me because I bought him an awp twice, but we only managed to scrounge up something like 6 rounds as T, so when we start losing something fierce as CT he begins making GBS threads on the guy holding A with him, just relentlessly talking smack every time he dies or fails to get a frag. Through some kind of miracle and a 1v3 retake by yours truly, we start turning things around and manage to stay on matchpoint for like 6 rounds in a row until we force overtime, upon which the guy who has been shat on the entire game disconnects while we vote for playing for OT- leaving us to get steamrolled the remaining rounds.

I don't blame the leaver at all, who the gently caress wants to keep playing when you're a punching bag for every loss. It's basically https://i.imgur.com/UVmMPyf.jpg in game form.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

In America, the only thing you have to deal with is a lot of 15 year old kids who spam the mike and scream "gently caress THIS poo poo I HIT HIM FOR 90 UGHHH" before ceasing comms or, if you're lucky, they just won't comm anything. I think it's cool for a warmup.

You're welcome. In my opinion the issue is very likely driver related, although unfortunately it looks like you've gone down that route quite extensively to no avail. You don't happen to be using a USB headset do you? As they are soundcards in themselves, there could be driver incompatibility there you are not considering.

Obviously prevention is better than cure, but the console command "snd_restart 1" will have the same effect as changing from Headphones to Speakers and back again. If you bind that to a key, you'll only need to worry about the little freezes. (Hoping this command isn't banned, it used to be used for an exploit.)

Jeza, I'm using a Steel Series Siberia headset, it's a traditional style that plugs into a sound card.

UPDATE

I got a suggestion from the Haus of Tech Support post recommending I update my onboard sound card drivers. I did so, and now I get an issue where i lose ALL sound for a second (skype Teamspeak, music, etc) instead of just CS. They gave me a couple more suggestions for fixes but if those don't work I think I'm going to buy a seperate soundcard.

If I ever manage to resolve the issue I'll make a post here letting everyone know the fix.

I've been really really getting in to this game lately. I'm Nova 2, but I think I'm worse than that. I'm extremely interested in learning and getting better, but I'm having a really hard time playing solo in MM

Is there a group of lower ranked players that play here? I'd really like to get better and have a good time playing with people rather than dealing with random people.

The language barrier in EU generally means there is a pretty good signal to noise ratio since conversing casually in English is :effort: and people only talk when they have something important to say.
