CSGO August 17 patch fails to remove game-breaking wallhack exploit Valve \/ YouTube: SparklesA new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive patch was shipped on August 17, with players hoping it would contain a fix for a game-breaking wallhack exploit that can get around VAC. However, their prayers haven\u2019t been answered. A new wallhack exploit has been doing the rounds in CS:GO over the last week. It exploded in popularity after YouTuber \u2018Sparkles\u2019 shared details with players back on August 12. The new exploit is a varied version of the old one, which allowed players to boot up CS:GO without vpk files active. Players could then overwrite certain files to break the game, giving them wallhacks, boosted sound, and more. Now, rather ironically, the exploit is even easier to use. It can bypass the \u201csv_pure\u201d command needed to get onto matchmaking, is easier to do, and has more power. All you have to do is create your own custom vpk files for CS:GO and replace the old ones. There are a ton of values you can alter in the vpk files. You can change how sound works, making it easier to hear opponents. Smokes won\u2019t render if you choose so. You can even make their entire player models show through walls \u2014 giving you the world\u2019s best wallhack. Then, after creating a keybind that allows you to spam and overload sv_pure\u2019s verification when booting onto a server, you\u2019ll be able to bypass all the checks. Obviously, its impact speaks for itself. It can circumvent all VAC checks, and it won\u2019t even be detected by ESEA or FACEIT\u2019s anti-cheat. Of course while it can be manually reviewed by the Overwatch system, or Valve themselves, there\u2019s no easy way to crack down on it. Valve shipped a patch to CS:GO on August 17, which got players\u2019 hopes up about a potential fix to an exploit. However, the update contained nothing of the sorts. Release Notes for today are up. End of match scoreboard will now display which players were playing as a party when Skill Groups are revealed and more: https:\/\/t.co\/hNulcqtJdd \u2014 CS2 (@CounterStrike) August 18, 2020 Given how quickly the previous exploit was patched out \u2014 only a couple of days after Sparkles\u2019 first video on August 4 \u2014 this new one could be a hard nut to crack. It might be some days, or even weeks, before CS:GO returns to \u2018normal.\u2019 Read more: BIG, FURIA win DreamHack Open Summer 2020 – If you see someone using this exploit, or even suspect it, you can report them through the in-game function for wallhacks.
