"Valve Anti-Cheat challenge timed out."

Just received this popup after connecting to a game. I loaded in as Kelvin, and the last thing I saw before it booted me back to the main menu was the enemy team across from me. I was in-game for about 2-3 seconds.

I tried reconnecting immediately, but this time it gave me the popup without even putting me into the game. I then tried closing the game and reopening and then reconnecting, but the same problem occurred. I think the match ended up not counting after I couldn't reconnect because it isn't in my match history, but someone playing Pocket commended me not long afterwards.

It seems that there are a few threads related to this, but most date back to October... Did something happen with this latest patch? I didn't play much yesterday because some friends wanted me to play Dota with them, and I had no issues then. I have no ban history and have never used cheat software in any videogame in my entire life. I have not installed anything recently either.

Is anyone else getting this?
