Steam Connect Failed

Try restarting your computer.

I am pretty sure they just changed something server side that prevents you from connecting if banned (similar to MW3). Xeno tested on his unbanned alt and connected just fine, so it's more than likely VAC related.

Yea I think they updated vac.

So far I have managed to patch the game to allow me to get into the game menus and etc. Some server stuff isn't activated properly however so I can't search for a match nor start a private one. Xeno said he managed to get private matches working but has yet to test with public matches. Progress w00t!

add me on your second account babe

Considering everyone with a VAC ban has experienced this, and that it is still throwing the message, I feel that it is safe to say it has nothing to do with maintenance and is completely VAC based.

any solutions?

They have a similar case in MW3, except that's been around for years now. I have no idea why this got implemented in MW2 this late lol.

same here, Played sunday night and was fine. today can't connect.

Patch 0x628A1B with 2 NOP's and you will be able to play in private matches, but you can't join or be joined by friends.
