Not a heavy gamer these days (perhaps even a filthy casual) but I have friends that play CS:GO so I decided to buy it myself. All my desktops at the moment are VMs running on a pair of Xenservers with GPUs passed-though.
After playing a few rounds last night, getting back my CS legs, I found myself bounced from all VAC secured CS:GO servers. The error message was:
Disconnected by VAC: You cannot play on secure servers
Apparently:
What little I could dig up indicated that some folks are either skin farming or using cheats with the help of some form of visualization. In any case I'm annoyed (both with the cheaters and Steam) and have requested a refund after confirming the cause with support.
Just a heads up to any others virtualizing your desktops, and hopefully a search result for anyone else running into this problem.
