I first ran matchmaking, found a game and then after loading into a game, a few seconds passed in the starting lobby, I received the VAC challenge timed out message.

Steps I tried to resolve;
  • Restart Steam/game
  • Restart PC/game
  • Repair Steam service, restart game
None of the above worked.

I then noticed I was no longer in a game on the final start up of the game. I am now receiving the message I am banned from matchmaking until 00:01 tomorrow.

Nothing different is running on my PC since I played earlier this afternoon, hence the bug report.

Watching the match back it also seems a lot of people seem to get booted from the game at the same time and the remaining players win the game within 15 mins. Seems perhaps a server bug (speculation).
