VAC system could not verify your gaming session in CS: GO

A group of developers from the Valve company created a special VAC system to combat cheats (software that provides players with special features, but is prohibited by the rules of the game). This system is an embedded component of Steam. Some players who play CS: GO began to notice a frequently repeated error when opening the application - “The VAC system could not verify your gaming session in CS: GO”. This check is characteristic of its function, it is obliged to check the presence of a digital signature on each game component at each game launch. In the absence of a signature, it is her duty to block such software. If such a check is not carried out - the game will turn into complete chaos, everyone can modify the game to their liking and play better than others thanks to the cheats mentioned.

On a normal user account, this error may appear due to the "flown" settings on the gamer's computer. VAC simply cannot find or open the libraries and files it needs, perhaps even the reason lies in your Internet connection, or your antivirus software blocks such a scan, not recognizing its activity in its open spaces. The only thing that is clear in this error is that something is preventing the program from checking for cheats.
