Valve cautions against using AMD's Anti-Lag feature in Counter-Strike 2 due to ban risks
TL;DR Summary
Valve has issued a warning to Counter-Strike 2 players that enabling AMD's Anti-Lag+ feature in the latest graphics driver could result in VAC bans. The problem arises from Anti-Lag+ intercepting and redirecting DLL functions, which the Valve Anti-Cheat system mistakenly identifies as cheating. Many players have reported receiving bans, prompting Valve to reverse the bans once AMD releases an update. In the meantime, Valve advises players to disable Anti-Lag+ in their graphics card settings.
