What Causes “Some of your game files have been detected to have no signatures” in CS2?

Valves Anti Cheat system, commonly referred to as VAC, plays a role in CS2. Its primary purpose is to identify and prevent the use of cheating software or any unauthorized modifications.

However, there are instances where it may mistakenly trigger this error message. The bright side is that this problem is usually temporary and can be resolved by following a few steps.

How to Fix “Some of your game files have been detected to have no signatures” in CS2

Solution 1: Verify Game Files

If you come across this error, one of the things to consider is verifying the integrity of your game files. Follow these steps:

Open your Steam Library and find Counter Strike 2 in your game collection.
Right-click on Counter Strike 2 and choose “Properties.”
Within the Properties window, go to the “Installed Files” tab.
Click on “Verify integrity of game files.”

This will help to scan your game files and make sure they are all complete and unaffected by any damage. If any problems are detected, Steam will automatically replace the files with fresh ones.

Solution 2: Toggle Administrator Mode

Sometimes if you’re experiencing the VAC error while running CS2, you can try toggling between administrator mode and regular mode. Follow these steps to make the changes:

Go back to your Steam Library and right-click on Counter Strike 2.
Select “Properties” again. In the Properties window, navigate to the “Installed Files” tab.
Click on “Browse” to open the games installation folder.
Right-click on the Counter Strike application within this folder and choose “Properties.”
In the Compatibility tab, you’ll find an option that says: “Run this program as an administrator.” Depending on its state (checked or unchecked) you can tick or untick this box accordingly.
Now give it a try by launching CS2 again.
