Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

AMD has released the Radeon Software Adrenalin 23.10.1 driver for its graphics cards. Among other things, this driver enables Anti-Lag+ on the RX 7000 series GPUs for Counter-Strike 2. However, Valve has publically stated that the usage of Anti-Lag+ will get you banned in CS2.

Valve claims that Anti-Lag+ is implemented by detouring engine dll functions. So, since the current implementation of Anti-Lag+ tampers with CS2 code, you’ll receive a VAC ban. Valve recommends disabling Anti-Lag+, at least for now. Then, once the red team ships an update to it, the developers will work on identifying the affected users and reverse their ban. For what it’s worth, Counter-Strike 2 currently supports NVIDIA Reflex. Contrary to AMD’s Anti-Lag+, NVIDIA Reflex does not tamper with the game’s source code, so you can safely use it.
