Reddit user 'rattecs' have found evidence that Valve's anti-cheat system is affecting performance in Counter-Strike 2, causing microfreezes and a significant drop in frames per second. According to him, the performance reduction can be up to 8% depending on the computer configuration, which is critical for the gaming experience in high-speed shooters.
This discovery came as a surprise to many players who thought VAC was ineffective in fighting cheaters, but did not realize that it could also negatively affect overall game performance. Gamers have used performance monitoring tools to confirm the loss of FPS when VAC is activated.
It is recommended that to disable VAC, you can enter the “-insecure” option in the game's launch option, although this will not allow connection to official game servers. This step can help to avoid performance loss, but at the same time restricts access to cheat-proof matches.
The community is demanding more transparency from Valve about the impact of their security systems on gameplay and is calling for VAC to be optimized to ensure not only security but also high performance.
