Valve is now reversing VAC bans due to AMD drivers in CS2, according to patch notes - Lemmy.World

Recently there was a thing where VAC would erroneously flag AMD’s antilag+ feature as cheating, and issue a ban. AMD then quickly disabled the feature by default but now Valve also patched detection for it and is now, at least according to these patch notes, reversing the bans.

The creepy thing is there is a possibility you can loose everything you bought in the worst case, maybe forever, without you being at fault. This time it ended ok, but who knows what’s on the horizon.

With GOG I have all my games backed up thanks to DRM free policy, but with Steam…

A VAC ban is only for online games that use VAC, and even then I think they can still use community servers.

It doesn’t lock you out of your account or anything.

Unless they are VAC secured

Even if it’s an entirely different game by a duuferent publisher, you might get premtively banned from playing because the ban is visible on your account.
