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.
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.
Nope. The Anti Cheat software was already in use before CS2 even released. AMD should have known this problem, because they are changing the CS2 execution at runtime. Which obviously gets flagged (for good reason). Is Anti Lag and Anti Lag+ the same thing? It's AMD's fault, because they specifically target Anti Lag+ to change CS2 code. Valve could impossibly know this and prepare anything. It's like releasing a cheat software specifically created to alter CS2 code and launch it without warning. Anti Cheat software works as intended.
Also how do you expect anyone to test Anti Lag+, before it gets launched? AMD should have worked with Valve together or at least not enable it for this game, because Valve does not want the game code to be altered. This is not a problem caused by Valve, but by AMD.
