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.

They want to erroneously flagging anything. The driver wasn’t so much a driver as much as an interceptor. It wasn’t necessary for the functioning of the graphics card it was literally intercepting commands and altering them which is exactly what cheating software does.

The only way they could have patched the software to not flag it would have been if AMD had told them in advance of what they were doing. Which I have no idea why they didn’t do because it was blatantly obvious this exact issue was going to happen.

Haha, your telling me AMD may need new programmers for their graphics driver implementations?
