I don't believe that Valve installs a kernel driver for CS:GO or its other titles. They turned anti-cheat into a pretty sophisticated deep learning solution called VACNET.
- mafuyu 7y agoCSGO matchmaking is still rife with cheaters. Valve has put a ton of work into VAC, but if people want to cheat, it is still very possible. It prevents matchmaking from being taken seriously as a competitive ladder. Even when I’m just playing casually with friends, it’s stressful when I basically have a 1 in 10 chance of the opponent cheating, and I need to sus out whether they’re actually good or just cheating. I pay for ESEA, an external service, which installs a kernel mode anticheat. ESEA also got sued for running a bitcoin miner on users computer several years ago. But it’s the only way to get any semblance of real, high level, competitive play. This is the context for Riots anticheat. They need to provide a solid AC from the start to pull over players and provide a competitive matchmaking system that isn’t a total joke like Valve MM. It sucks, but I know who I’d trust more between Riot and ESEA. I just run my games in a separate partition and bitlocker my primary OS install.

- hncensorsnonpc 7y agoDude you pay a company to install a kernel module in your PV that got sued for running a bitcoin miner on peoples systems. I have to say some people just deserve what is coming to them. Bad luck to you.
- jsjddbbwj 7y agoYou don't play CSGO. If you play the free version it's practically impossible not to stumble upon a cheater every single match. Another example, GTA online is practically unplayable on the PC whilst it's almost impossible to find cheaters on consoles.
