It happens to me about once every 30 games,

idk what causes it

people on steam forum talk shit and are getting me mad :@, blaming his pc and all this when his pc is good, its only started happening recently and his pc doesnt even have an antivirus on one os (dual boot) which is the one cs:go is on.

Pretty sure I've had this in the past. It was because I had DEP turned off and VAC needs it tuned on or something like that.

Also this is the error that Pasza the biceps guy got at a LAN even. Not sure what even but he was AWPing on Nuke at the time.

Wouldn't have a clue. Never had a VAC error.

What do they know of England, who only England know?

My mate gets it constantly but only when he plays me with me... He has no antivirus or anything, the only things he has is steam and cs:go.

Once he gets the error he can't join back even if he restarts his pc.

I think it's a joke and valve need to sort it out, I emailed them and they haven't replied, they blame your pc when it happened to someone in a tournament with the same pc as everyone else.
