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…

List of DRM-free games - PCGamingWiki PCGW - bugs, fixes, crashes, mods, guides and improvements for every PC game

That’s extremely interesting, thank you!!

Nowadays the only platform I buy my games from is gog, I made the right choice it seems.

But people who need to play the newest games don’t really have a choice.

no one needs to play any game

it’s just a matter of how willing someone is to compromise on their principles for entertainment

When I was a teenager I played the newest games too, so I won’t judge. Privilege of the young. Today my time is scarce, so I have the luxury of carefully choosing my titles, and I choose DRM free. But back then I would have “needed” to play the newest Assassin’s Creed.
