Stopped playing tf2 last night as normal and shut down, booted up today to encounter the "your computer cannot connect to VAC servers" issue
followed through with https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ilzv-2837 :
- dont use any of the conflicting software listed
- restarting the computer (as well as steam) didnt fix
- repairing steamservice didnt work
- tried to restore boot settings but for some reason the values prompted didnt exist (?????????)
- tried to repair the system files but everything was in working order after scanning
additionally:
- uninstalled and reinstalled tf2, didnt work
- uninstalled every other potentially conflicting steam game, didnt work
- tried playing the game with and without config (comanglia's stability), didnt work
- not using a vpn, though i had a couple of people ask
- game ran fine before and up to 5am est before i shut the computer down
if anyone knows any potential fixes id be willing to try them out

everything on avast is up to date, as far as i know steam isnt registered as a threat in its databases, and hasnt caused problems in the past (i set hl2.exe as an exception as well, just in case)
i also reinstalled steam, if that helps
edit: fixed the problem somehow
