It simply means VAC can't verify your game files. This could be due to a recent update or corrupt files. Always try to verify game integrity through Steam; works like a charm for me 9 out of 10 times!

It's not as bad as it sounds! Just verify your game files on Steam, or restart Steam. If you keep your game updated and don't mess with files, you'll be back to planting or defusing bombs in no time.

'VAC was unable to verify your game session' means that the Valve Anti-Cheat system couldn't check your game files. This usually happens if your game files have been modified or are missing. A quick fix can be to verify the integrity of game files through Steam or restarting your computer. Another trick is to log out of Steam and log back in.

Just means VAC's having a temporary hiccup. Most times, restarting Steam fixes it. If not, verify game files or check for updates. CS:GO's not accusing you of cheating, so don't sweat it.

Pretty much VAC's way of saying 'I can't seem to read your homework.' Just verify your game files or restart Steam. It’s a common issue and an easy fix.
