Media: Cheats Developer blames subtick for ragebots evading VAC

Valve could but doesn't have the manpower to fix the cheating issue?

CS2 analyst Matt interviewed a developer who has worked on CS2's most used external cheat and revealed some interesting insights. In the interview, the developer claimed that the cheat is totally undetectable, and that Valve doesn't 'give a sh*t'.

The developer revealed that the reason for Valve not being able to counter the cheating problem is either because of a small team of 2-3 developers working on the Anti-Cheat, or simply because Valve wants to keep the cheating population.

Moreover, the developers have exploited the subtick system as it is flawed, which has even made ragebots undetected. According to them, Vaclive detects data per subtick and not per tick. The cheats can send upto 16 subticks per tick, and that overwhelms Vaclive, and makes cheaters harder to flag.

According to the developers assumptions, Valve could solve the cheater problem if they worked on a kernel AC, but would need more dedicated resources to keep up with cheat developers which they presumably don't have right now.
