Valve cautions against using AMD's Anti-Lag feature in Counter-Strike 2 due to ban risks

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.

AMD Anti-Lag+ in Counter-Strike 2 Leads to VAC Bans, Valve and Devs Warn

Counter-Strike 2 developers have warned players using AMD's Anti-Lag+ feature to turn it off or risk receiving VAC bans. The feature, introduced with a driver update in September 2023, aims to reduce latency for gamers. However, tampering with the game's code by enabling Anti-Lag+ can result in a VAC ban. Valve plans to reverse any bans caused by the feature, but this incident is not the first time an AMD graphics card update has caused issues for Counter-Strike 2 players. AMD has yet to comment on the VAC bans.
