Valve fixes Trust Factor in CS:GO – Will the surge in cheaters end now?
Spinbots, Wallhacks or Triggershots: Counter-Strike players have always had to struggle with dishonest players on their servers. But in recent times there seems to have been a spike in cheaters. Now developer Valve has said that many of the issues seem to have been due to Trust Factor not working as it should have.
If you've had bad matches recently, it may have been because Trust wasn't working right. We fixed it yesterday and confirmed that it is now working as intended. Thanks to everyone who provided useful feedback.
But even with Trust Factor re-enabled cheating is still an issue. Streamers have been complaining that because of their usage of third-party software they were unable to use Trusted Mode in-game. This results in many streams unfortunately featuering cheaters, a less than ideal way to showcase the game to potential new players.
When will we be able to stream trusted again? Being matched against cheaters 50% of the time is neither good promotion for your game, nor how you show appreciation for people that still play and stream this game in the current stage.
Trusted Mode is preventing other software from interacting with CS:GO to prevent cheating. But it also means that streaming software such as OBS or Streamlabs cannot access it either. An issue that is still not resolved by Valve.
But the larger problem remains the high number of cheaters in-game. Even with Trust Factor players have been reporting dishonest players in their matches. Just like any other shooter that can be played online, it is an eternal arms race between cheat developers and game developers.
