How to fix CS:GO VAC disconnect?

Dealing with a VAC disconnect in CS:GO can be super annoying, but here's a quick fix list! First, try restarting your game and Steam. If that doesn't work, verify the integrity of game files through Steam (right-click CS:GO in your library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files). Sometimes it’s just a minor glitch. If the problem persists, make sure your antivirus isn't blocking any of CS:GO's files and check your firewall settings. Lastly, running Steam as an administrator can sometimes work miracles. It's like the tech version of 'turn it off and on again' but it often does the trick!

Honestly, sometimes you just gotta wait it out. VAC disconnect issues can be server-side, especially after updates. Grab a snack, check Reddit, and give it an hour.
