VAC Issue in General Discussion
Knight Artorias

    Hi there, Knight Artorias here!
    I'm having trouble with finding match in dota 2, it says that my VAC is blocked. I have tried almost every method mentioned on the internet. I've unistalled than installed both dota 2 and Steam, did the cmd thing, steam service from the run menu (windows+R), validitate Dota 2 files, opened steam through 'run as administrator', restarted my pc and so on. I don't even have any of the other applications like CC cleaner, etc as mentioned in steam community. My system is 100% clear. All I know is that it started happening since the last dota 2 update.

    I'd be really happy to have a kind response. I would appreciate it.
    Thank You!

                Knight Artorias

                  hmmm...I don't have anything on my system except steam. I bought it only for steam. I have different systems with different purposes.

                                            I am not using any of the softwares...my system is 100% clear. I've already mentioned that this system I am using is only for steam, nothing else (not even the movies).

                                                                                                  ImagineDodong

                                                                                                    Knight Artorias

They showed me some methods but it didn't work, than some professionals asked me to put this on dotabuff's general discussions. They told me that only someone who has been through this problem may give me the solutions. And yes I didn't do anything stupid, I'm a cautious player. Valve didn't gave me a reply though. Too busy I guess ;) They told me that even a famous player by the name "SunsFan" had this issue for a long time.
