Q: How did you make that? What editing software do you use?
A: I use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro & After Effects. Photoshop for image editing and thumbnails. Premiere Pro for compositing and After Effects for motion graphics (the fancy animations).

edit: hi hi, just wanna say be cautious about the 16k number. the whole thing is super noisy. we can't really know the wave size unless bot hosters want to tell us exactly how much they went up or down by.
the 16k is mixed in with normal players coming in and out from steam maintenance, it could be idle bots being affected (they didn't come back, or got banned too lol), the timing steam polled player numbers, etc. regardless though it did look different to the previous tuesday downtime on the charts, there was two system messages* sent out about server downtime, where the last time they did that was (apparently) once on Oct 1, 2022, and you can hop in game and see the very clear lack of bots. i'm not aware of any exhaustive up to date list of bots globally so it'd be hard to make any estimations of the wave size. sorry if i caused any confusion here :>

topic 2: i can't personally verify it but community bans are seemingly a big tent that encapsulates lots of varying kinds of bans underneath it. i've gotten reports that community bans do block access to VAC servers, and this reply (to this comment) that's seemingly a good summary of the lay of things:
@polistirex
Hi shounic, wanted to say, community bans will in some occasions but not always prevent you from joining a VAC secured server. I have several accounts which are marked as community banned that cannot join any valve server and in one case access the steam library at all. There are different ban reasons. If your ban is for any kind of account fraud OR game abuse like most bot accounts, it will be completely restricted. The same goes if you are caught buying an account off G2A for example.

@@stevefan8283typical incel comment
I saw a post about Valve putting bans on bot accounts but giving the connected main account(s) a warning. In other words, if Valve has detected that you have an account linked to the banned bots (how, I do not know, IP/MAC matches maybe), the host can still keep their main account. And if they continue hosting bots, then all of their accounts are affected.
In other words, Valve is now trying just to scare off the bot hosters. No real fix to TF2 has been made, not even a tweak to the Source Engine.
Personally I'd love to see some proper legal action against the bot hosters to put some actual pressure on them but beggars can't choosers. And I expect the bots to be back within a week.
It would be great, and actually a pretty good solution to this
Legal action isn't an option if the bot hosters live in Russia, sadly.

This is great news. The worst part of this has been the lack of consequences. Using limited evidence to tie to main accounts and warn them is such a good thing.

I get a feeling that the "treadmill" problem of infinitely banning bot accounts would become a staple of TF2 from now on, i just hope that bot hosters would eventually get bored of it and move on
It’s been like 5 years since bots really became a problem, I think it’s safe to say they’re in it for the long haul.

Just make them lose enough money.

Chile, Peru and Brazil servers aren't as bot infested as the rest of the world (may I say these are the safest servers rn).
They're overlooked in comparison with Virginia, where it's most likely you get a botted server.
In conclusion, give it some time before the bots are fully back.
We may have won the battle but we still havent won the war we shall fight bravely
so here's what's *probably* happening over at valve:
they know about fixtf2/savetf2, but fixing the problem would mean getting rid of all bots and most cheaters forever or at least a very long time, which would take a whole company's efforts to do in a timely fashion, and even then, it would take quite a while
instead of being completely radio silent, they want the tf2 community to know they're working on the problem (even *if* it's just a dozen people) and went through with a ban wave for a very temporary solution for casual
but like we know, they have so much more data than engineers to work with the data, so even if another ban wave happens, it won't be for at least a few months since a very small portion of hours will be set aside to do that

People are going to see this ban wave and think the problem is solved and then be annoyed when the malicious bot hosters are back again in a year.
@@Reese-wg7jb
Gentleman, fire up the doxxing machine. (My lawyer advised me to say that this is a joke)

There's a larger overarching problem with Steam which is how fast people can create bot accounts and use them to farm for drops in games like Banana or even their other games, and god knows about the cost of having potentially hundreds of thousands of new accounts being added to their databases in a day.

Welp, within the hour a new wave of bots are all online and named some variant of “you can’t ban me”. They are right about this being treadmill work, you’d have to keep up with these manual bans all day
Then hardware ban would be needed but vpns are probably happening
@@oinkytheink1228 IP and HWID bans wouldn’t stop the bot hosters, I’m sure they use virtual machines to an extent, which in itself is extremely difficult to pinpoint
This is exactly what happened back in 2017~, Valve bans around 200k bots from TF2 and in the span of a week they all come back.
I suspect with this ban wave they targeted cheater bots but even then they'll most likely be back up within the week. The people behind these bot nets are wayyy too dedicated on keeping their cheater bots online and ruining people's fun in a 17 year old game.
Tf2 is hitting 90k players as of right now, all bots are completely back. Pointless video.

The most sane TF2 player:
This video literally bought so many players back to tf2. I watched in real-time as people joined and asked "are the bots gone?"
Now we have to keep pushing for this.
I was playing on the trenches server when this update happened, and I remember joking about how awesome it would be if there were a manual ban wave. I’m shocked they actually did something
okay one or two or all of 3 things happened
1: valve did something and actually, forever, fixed the bots-ish
2: bots giving us false hope
3: bot hosters got busted/bored
4:sex 2 was released
Valve likely did something, as it appears that, although bots are man-managed, they can be uploaded and left alone with a simple algorithm. Recently the creators tied them in with the #FixTF2 movement, so this will significantly hinder progress to snuff out who is what by those merits.
But beyond that, we can only hope this is a proper fix, just keep tabs from three days to a week. A month at best if you really wanna be patient.
since they are still SOME bots that means either they did a manual botting wave which means those bots have the same cheats or they did something that detects those cheats and those other bots are using different type of it
None of them. Valve just banned bots for them to turn back like in 5 days
Edit: I am not telling that it is %100 useless. Just telling this is a weak step. That doesnt means be pessimistic.

@@ziphy_6471 He's not saying you shouldn't be happy, he's just saying not to celebrate yet. The bots could be back anywhere between three days from no to a year, just because Valve seemingly listened to us doesn't mean that thier solution was permanent.

@@korjezilla Most of the comments here are still hoping the protest will continue after this and Valve will continue to do this
@@ziphy_6471 I think that's what they are telling us. Keep in mind only a arund a dozen people at Valve work on TF2 anymore, this is probably their way of telling us that they have been working on the problem, and gave us a temporary solution to hold us off for a bit while they keep working on a more permanant fix.
This aged like milk. the bots are BACK in full force, more than before.
I mean, I found 3 at 8pm eastern standard. But they got banned mid match about 30 seconds after the round started.
Great!
As a side note, I've just checked and from 33 accounts I've reported >2 months ago (but I have no idea if anyone read that email at all, lol!), 14 are VAC banned ("1 VAC ban on record", "33 day(s) since last ban") and 19 are deleted.
Cheers!
Makes me wonder if some of the bots I’ve blocked, just to keep record of, are banned. I mean I assume so since I haven’t seen that variant of the bot in game forever now
is there a way to check accounts you reported after the fact through steam or are you like writing them down and checking manually?
Banning bots is an endeavour akin to Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a mountain, but it's not about the unreachable goal of having 0 people exploiting the game, it's about the steps taken to get there. Hope that Valve is finally doing something, but don't let up the pressure just yet. We need to watch over them and make sure they do everything in their power to actually address TF2's problems.

@@self-proclaimedanimator fr
They will likely keep doing it in waves. How long before the next ban wave is hard to say. You want to annoy cheat devs, so banning bot accounts as soon as they join is a bad move.
Instead, flag them and then ban them after some arbitrary timespan. That way, the cheat devs don't know what got them flagged, and it is harder to figure out how to avoid detection.
Beyond this, Valve could also be starting to crack down on botted steam account generation. Which will make ban waves a lot more meaningful.
> Instead, flag them and then ban them after some arbitrary timespan. That way, the cheat devs don't know what got them flagged
VAC already does this, While this works for closet cheaters that are actual humans or cheatmakers that advertise undetectable cheats, This doesn't apply to bot hosters that have blantant spinbots that only want to disrupt the game as much as possible
The real way is to find the real bot hoster irl and cancel the fk out of him...., sue them even , confiscate his server and if he is Russian , force him to enlist....
We’re heading into a generation of ai, everytime they ban a bot account it should also go into a database to train an AI to detect them. Even if bot creators avoid the thing that flagged them, many common points will continually show their face over time.

we’ve cleaned up the puddle but now they need to close the hole
i know the bots will be back or at least attempt to come back, but in this short period I just wanna imagine:
there are bot hosters someone who are currently scurrying trying to get their bots back online ASAP to make the game unplayable on official servers and I just have to think: why
the only potential person with real incentive might be someone making money off of software that automizes the process for, whatever reason. And while I hate it, I understand why someone would want to fix that to keep making money. But if it's not that situation, I really don't get why anyone would bother putting the bots back up.
if it’s not about money, then it’s surely for attention
because some people are just complete dickheads with nothing better to do
The only reason is to hurt others fun. Unfortunately, there is a portion of people who get pleasure out of upsetting people for no reason, and they want to keep doing that. I also think it might be a power trip thing because of their determination to work around Valve's updates.
They do it because some people take casual being unplayable as a personal insult against everything they hold close. Those people tend to freak out in very funny ways, which they then review through chat logs, forum posts, RUclips videos, etc. They're trolls, plain and simple
personally i always thought the bot hosters are secretly working for competing shooter games, trying to take out their competition. it's just a theory but i refuse to believe they are doing this much work and not getting paid for it

I played it two days ago after a long time and the situation was surreal, there were so many bots in the lobbies they kept kicking each other out. They would start vote kicking bots by randomly selecting players in the lobby, and all the other bots voted yes. Glad to see they fixed it, at least for the time being.
Finally, inner peace
oh no not the dreaded treadmill work
