AMD users should think twice before installing driver update 23.10.1.

So lag is officially part of counter strike?

If you inject code, they ban you. Seems pretty straight forward.

They said they’ll unban when they can identify them correctly, but it’s not their fault.

The Anti-Lag software from AMD seems to get flagged as some sort of cheating from the Anti Cheat software by Valve, as it tempers the Counter Strike code. In other words, its not compatible. AMD should have tested and worked together with Valve, before shipping the update. It’s not to blame Valve, because the Anti Cheat software works as intended, but AMD, because they did not work with Valve before launching their software.

Anti-lag has been in the amd drivers for a long time. This seems more to be caused by Valve rushing CS2 out the door so the drivers couldn’t be thoroughly tested.

NOTE! The content contained in this article is based on Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.12.1 and earlier Adrenalin Edition drivers.

No, it’s caused by AMD deciding hijacking CS’s execution was acceptable.

It’s more standard than standard that you can’t do that in a competitive game.
