in case you dont want to listen to all the yapping, 1:21 is where the actual video starts.

the amusing part is that the TF2 playerbase had to deal with cheater bots for so long they immediately get paranoia and ptsd the moment they see a sniper looking up even if it's a human doing it. Just look at Star_'s most recent video.

now tf2 players can actually enjoy their hats

They don’t deserve to rest in Peace.

FaceIt introduces Verified, Valve takes away 128 tick servers. Rip FaceIt. If Faceit has Verified Only Match Making then I would play nothing else. I play around 60 hours + a week in casual 10v10.

I just played 10 hours straight instead of sleeping last night. I encountered maybe 1 cheater but it could have been someone trying to fake it for funzies.

Rest in Jarate 🫙

Meanwhile Artifact could use some bots

Lets not celebrate too soon Valve has done like this in the past but we need see the results after 2 months time, ban waves have happened time to time but we cant be sure is this actually fixed or bandaid solution

Pretty obvious they are doing this to make people temporarily happy while they pump out the TF2 summer update any day, as well as whatever updates they have planned for CS2 this summer. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the issue with cheaters and bots is back in full force by this autumn

Worth noting that bot hosters have gone to make new accounts and they've all been banned quickly. And one bot hoster shared a blunt and to the point message they got from Steam Support.

Shit, I didn't know there are so many people still playing TF2. Steamchart shows 100K players. This was the only game I played for years when it first launched, it was such a good game. Haven't played anything close to it since.

He doesn't mean Rest in Peace, he means Rest in *Piss*

RIP (Rip in Pieces) TF2 Cheaters, you won't be miss

The janitor was probably done with traversing the spaghetti code

Finally i can actually use my golden shotgun

imagine the game being in a playable state... If only Valve had the money to keep this up indefinitely...

zesty jezus sources say that they have been working on the anticheat before save tf2 started

1:20

Give it another 2 months and it will be filled with bots again just like last time

I wish he was talking about Titanfall 2

Re:ad I skipped the Neo for a non-Neo that’s a year old and 20% off. Still rocking pretty well so far, though it did get two dead pixels but otherwise performs pretty well even VR-capable on the 4060.

How can we as adults have healthy loving relationships when Valve has been gaslighting us for the past 15 years... Gaben is drunk weird uncle that we can't help but hate to love.

In CS2 there's a botfarm that spams a certain religious sermon from youtube. I've only run into 1 blatant cheater in casual since this fix. Whether its for Deadlock's security, or the Source Engine hole the cheaters were using is finally patched, its good to see TF2 in a better shape than a year ago.

Congrats on Valve for doing the bare minimum.

And the bot hosters and cheaters are playing victim and crying, "I like the way you beg" Django

My guess here is valve intentionally let the bot hosters and cheaters go rampant on tf2 so that they can train vac live

0:35 for a second I thought he was Freddie Dredd LOL

now that this demoknight can come out of retirement and come slaying again

Tf2 community is awesome😊

I am hoping, that they aren't working on game centric fix, but on fix which is in their user base. Bot accounts have to have steam accounts, and usually accounts that are botting, are doing only that, botting. I hope they are building algorythm or AI system, which detects bot users no matter the game. Such a fix would pretty much save all the steam centric multiplayer games and it would shut anyone up who is whining that steam is anticompetitive and anticonsumer.

I had a guts feels of conspiracies that these bots were much created for some purposes to makes people quits the game and makes game unappealing for some period of time, then those would be former players sold their inventories to some Traders (which i'd assume play role as hostess of that bots) so there would be less some rare grade weaponry circulating around game (because they sold it mostly), so they (Traders) can sell their valuable stuffs at higher prices.

This botting issue doesn't only exist in Valve games, it exists in World of Warcraft very rampantly right now as well in both Dragonflight and Cataclysm Classic. Botting seems to have had a severe rise. Due to it's extremely lucrative nature in itself, it's the smartest way for these scripters, hackers, and cheaters, to bot for Stats, Money, Fame, Etc.

you know what weve found out, is that, after helldivers 2, mass negative steam reviews always seem to help with the problem a ton. first helldivers, then tf2.

They will eventually come back in my opinion. We will probably have to do the same dance as fixTF2.

So the source code for an extremely old game, running on old engines, is leaked. "Why are there so many bots?!?! Fuck Valve!!" 😂

Its not a Rest In Peace, its a Rest In Hell

Devin got drip with the dime shirt fr

I'm one of the testers, so far in the forums, they are multiple report of aimbot or aimlock in the Deadlock Normal que.

I still remember when Faceit was announced, there was hype. But it died off quick for me, cause I saw it was essentially a lite version of competitive. Yet so many content creators shilled it, and Joeyslapnutz in particular snubbed my opinion for being trash solely based on Twitter follower count. Yet here I am, having seen it for what it was. And Joey hasn’t uploaded on here in nearly a year

Given how incompetent Valve is, I see Deadlock being filled with bots day 1 lol

You could say that tf2'd janitor is weeding out the pests

Overwatch 2 on middleeast server has the same problem but its in competitive ruins it for everyone

Finally I can gamble my pain away and unbox 173652 shitty cosmetics and spend 2 minutes unbothered in the actual game.

Let’s hope it stays like this.

Lester from GTA V started making videos about games😂

remeber lads, we don't spend a cent until after the summer event and only if the bots come back. they only get our money back if they keep up the work.

Valve hasn't really fixed TF2 they just did the bare minimum to make the game playable

Gamers need to finally realize that the only way to consistently force change is by making monetary statements. As long as a company is making money and can project to still be making money in the future, they have little to no incentive to do anything. Banking on the goodwill of a company is not something you should accustom yourself to.

tf2 still has a competitive scene, it's called rgl and etf2l

Still full of bots, check the player count

Probably can think it as they secretly implemented some mechanisms into the code or collecting data to detect bot and ban it afterwards, the fact is once the mechanisms been understood by the scripter they will create a new cheating or scripting tool to bypass it. It is better for valve not stating too much on their works, as player I only care they have did something not how they do their job

My first TF2 game in 2017: 3 spinbots. See you never.

I want to know the point of making that many bots. If people stop playing, and stop byuing hats within tf2. Would that not defeat the whole point of the bots to begin with? Whats the point of having a game only populated by bots. You can't crush noobs if no one new joins.

As in, “rest in pieces”.

so, Zesty Jesus, is literally a Jesus of TF2, the savior that exposed and spoke the truth on the actual player count of the game being a lot lower than we expect, and exposed who the bots are, said bot hosters and cheaters, and how they really function in the space of tf2 which guided Valve to be able to ban said problematic people

You know all you need is like 3 profile names to find thousand of copies of them bots. Look for example for names like Proxy Yoshi or Miss Super E i had blocked and reported tons of them so everyonce in a while I check if they are banned but to this day they are still active, you know they are bots because they all show the exact same hours on the last games they played and some all them have the exact same cs go command written in their comment section things of that nature but the most obvious is that a lot of them have the exact same girls picture as avatar.

"They do their best to forget they ever made this game. It's like they're ashamed of it" Bro, I played DoD:S and TF2. Feel my pain

The war isnt over. But this battle has been won!

as someone watching this video on an acer predator: Don't do that to yourself

cheater's dont deserve to rest in peace

Coming out and saying "We have fixed TF2, botting is no longer a thing, let's all celebrate!" would be an invitation for hackers to try harder. Besides, whatever Valve is doing, they can't be sure it'll be a lasting fix, so it's the right move to monitor things for a while instead of declaring victory.

CS2/CS makes them the most revenue, the pros and entire scene have complained for years, cheating has been an epidemic in CS for a generation now. FIX CS2 AND PUT IN KERNEL ANTI CHEAT AND BAN THE CHEATERS ALREADY

bots are gone for NOW. there is still CHEATERS in the game. dont mix 2 different things togheter

If nobody buys the new game they´ll never gonna make an anticheat for their games, but it seems impossible.

Now only if Rockstar do the same with GTA

I think thats a great way of handleing stuff, dont try to make people happy by twitting your gonna do something, do it people will notice

Ok, i'm going to give it another try because I stopped playing TF2 thanks to the swarms of cheaters

Its so refreshing to acctually be able to play the game...

I recently played tf2 again since I just bought a new computer

Gaming audiences literally can not get their head around valve time after all these decades. And it's hilarious.

After this, when cs2 get clear from cheaters?

millions or billions from a game that has ~100k concurrent players?

wait 3 months

We always talk about the devs neglecting us, and that they need to step up the game. No. We as consumers need to step up the game. IF we want to dip our feet in a jacuzzi, WHY do we always settle for it if theres only a portable toilet available? If you want to smell like perfume, why do you smear yourself in with shit? If you dont want to feel pain, why tf do you get your supposed friend to repeatedly kick you in the nuts? We as a playerbase need to uninstall a game that we dont like. We need to show that, if they as a developer, dont care, neither do we. The way we still keep installing, still keep recruiting new players, still buy skins, still buy this, still buy that, only shows the devs that "Yes, we can HEAR them say its all bad, but we can SEE them return to play every day". The only way for the industry to start changing IS IF WE CHANGE FIRST. And that shouldnt be hard to understand. Do you think a revolution starts from within the government itself? No! It starts with the regular people who clearly shows enough is enough.

Zesty getting the praise he deserves.

Nice video. Valve honestly needs to change its approach to its problems. Let's "Communicate through the patch notes" is not enough. I need to know if they are taking active action against the cheaters and bots. Terrible company that makes millions and ignores its games.

I quit 10 years ago due to botting and stacking.

When read the title, I think that the only thing to fix TF2 is transferred it completely to Steam instead of the EA launcher.

You didn’t mention how tf2 players also started to review bomb Valves biggest games, which I don’t agree with at all, but hey whatever works ig

Maybe ill reinstall the game

As much I want to rag on Valve, there are understandable why thing like this took along time. Since coding is a massive chore, plus the amount of overtime work to make sure it work without it being bypass the next week.

Makes me just cry.. how much they care about there games, same as counter strike... 😢

Who let G E Force get through review

Never played TF2, but grats gamers. You love to see it.

I played tf2 once, I loaded into a game, immediately got vote kicked, uninstalled and never played again

I think we shouldn't just say that boycotting monetarily is the final, or last way to protest. It is not the only way that you can realistically influence Valve. If you are someone that works in the industry, you need to consider the power of unions. With Unions, you can force the industry to change and create new rules and regulations regarding online multiplayer experiences for security and privacy concerns. The strongest protest is not of a boycott, but of collective bargaining.

I don't believe it. Bot is so dominated in TF2 that they should be call game of bot

wanna know how much valve values their old games? take a look at cs 25y aniversary.

00:38 - No because laptops are shit :) not enough power - to small screen

its almost like valve really doesnt care abt cs2...

NO WAY

Tf2 only Solved one of the issues they have to deal the Content Drought

do dubai servers still exist

"G E Force RTX graphics card" "incredible" 165hz "so lag will be someone elses problem" something tells me this guy didn't care that much about this sponsorship lol

Theres some of Player private their profile and not yet banned also their are some new players downloaded not just the game, they download also the cheats. Like Bruh whats the brain of these people.

Get rid of bots by getting rid of the constant grind in gaming. There is no reason any game should feel entitled to countless hours of your time to unlock some feature or item.

An ex Valve employees said the TF2 Department are all old employees who are really toxic in their work environment.

its playable now. kudos to valve

ripbozo you aint be missed, cheaters
