everything on avast is up to date, as far as i know steam isnt registered as a threat in its databases, and hasnt caused problems in the past (i set hl2.exe as an exception as well, just in case)

i also reinstalled steam, if that helps

edit: fixed the problem somehow

Stopped playing tf2 last night as normal and shut down, booted up today to encounter the "your computer cannot connect to VAC servers" issue

followed through with https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ilzv-2837 :

• dont use any of the conflicting software listed
  
• restarting the computer (as well as steam) didnt fix
  
• repairing steamservice didnt work
  
• tried to restore boot settings but for some reason the values prompted didnt exist (?????????)
  
• tried to repair the system files but everything was in working order after scanning

additionally:

• uninstalled and reinstalled tf2, didnt work
  
• uninstalled every other potentially conflicting steam game, didnt work
  
• tried playing the game with and without config (comanglia's stability), didnt work
  
• not using a vpn, though i had a couple of people ask
  
• game ran fine before and up to 5am est before i shut the computer down

if anyone knows any potential fixes id be willing to try them out

it took us nearly a decade but we've finally found the objectively worst tftv thread

stop playing mge

people who join major mge maps with some aggravating offclass (normally pyro or spy) and refuse to switch to a normal class because its "fun"

teams who forego demo reviews in order to cram in as many scrims as possible and repeat mistakes

how fucking terrible badlands mid is

pub power rankings

imagine thinking untested weapons should be initially tested in live esea matches

same people who thought testing the unfinished cardinal was esea's job

i played on a 6s friend team with him a couple years ago (probably 2 years or so) and contact with him completely stopped after the team died

its a shame too, that team was a lot of fun to roam for

"i got cut for winning man, end game, eeeeeend game..."
