Like its predecessor, aggressive team-based shooter Counter-Strike 2 is proving massively standard. Despite grumblings from CSGO veterans, it’s primary with a bullet for concurrent Steam gamers, averaging over 1.2 million gamers daily. If you’re amongst them and also you’re utilizing an AMD-powered machine, watch out: The new Anti-Lag+ feature for Radeon discrete and built-in graphics is getting some Counter-Strike gamers banned.

So sayeth the official Counter-Strike X (nee Twitter) account. “If you are an AMD customer and play CS2, DO NOT ENABLE ANTI-LAG/+,” the builders warn in no unsure phrases. According to Valve, the function is routing across the sport engine’s DLL recordsdata, which is tantamount to dishonest as detected by Valve’s Anti-Cheat (VAC) software program system. It looks like some customers have already been banned for utilizing the built-in function.

This is, to place it kindly, not good. AMD customers implementing the Anti-Lag+ options actually don’t have any manner of figuring out that its core performance conflicts with Valve’s cheat detection scheme. Valve appears to put the blame squarely on AMD, promising to un-ban affected customers “once AMD ships an update.”

AMD has responded with a Twitter post of its own. “AMD is engaged with Valve to address the issue and will provide more details as they become available,” it says, additional urging avid gamers utilizing Adrenalin 23.10.1 to not allow Anti-Lag for CS2 till additional discover. The Verge reports on varied social media suggestions indicating that the Anti-Lag function is leading to bans in another video games, together with Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.

Knowing the overall disposition of team-based shooter gamers, I’d hate to be on both firm’s help crew this week.
