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.
erroneously flag
They were legitimately picking up an activity that they generally try to prevent. AMD was using a technique to apply Anti-Lag+ that was expressly monitored for, to provide anti-cheat.
People still play this game? I remember it was mostly hackers and some people pretending they were actually having fun while gambling their savings away on those skin sites.
It is a damn shame too, because there are a lot better games than this lazy cosmetic, hacker filled game.
It’s really great, has a lot of depth, unfortunately the skin gambling is the worst part. I don’t encounter cheaters in my game anymore, and play only with squads of friends and it’s definetly my favorite FPS, would recommend to anyone willing to learn a tactical fps
CS GO (now CS 2) has constantly been on the top 5 most played steam games globally for a decade now, so yeah, I think people are still playing this game.
Do “people still play this game.” This guy. It’s literally the #1 title on Steam
Yeah it’s pretty basic tbh I honestly wish that the old school stuff like doom, unreal or quake 3 got more air time, much more potential mods and additional dynamics to add to the fun
how are you actually this dense
They weren’t erroneously flagging anything. The driver wasn’t so much a driver as much as a locally hosted man in the middle attack. 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?
Pretty sure this is just a management issue, as in they they need to be doing some.
