CS2 player loses $100K inventory due to false ban for using AMD\u2019s Anti-lag+ feature ValveA Counter-Strike 2 player was banned after enabling AMD\u2019s Anti-lag+ feature, causing him to lose over $100k worth of CS skins without having done anything wrong. To say Counter-Strike 2\u2018s launch has been rocky would be an understatement. From issues with hit registration to a bizarre \u201cMichael Jackson\u201d bug that allowed players to lean around corners, players aren\u2019t too happy with the much-anticipated shooter\u2019s state at launch. That said, Valve has been making continuous improvements to the game to try and add more features and iron out bugs as they arise. However, it\u2019s been revealed that using an anti-lag feature on AMD cards will flag your account for a VAC ban. Getting banned renders your inventory untradable, meaning that someone like Neon who had an inventory worth over $100k has lost all of that money as a result of a false VAC ban. AMD Anti-lag+ feature leads to $100k loss via VAC ban Though Counter-Strike\u2019s skin market hasn\u2019t maintained the same ludicrously high value it had in CS:GO\u2019s twilight years, it\u2019s fairly common for big skins traders and collectors to have inventories valued in the range of tens of thousands of dollars. One such skin trader by the name of Neon got VAC banned as a result of players who use AMD\u2019s Anti-lag+ feature lost over $100k worth of items, leaving him desperate for answers. Neon\u2019s inventory is stacked with some impressive items near the top of his collection, and almost 1000 CS skins in his inventory overall. Highlights include a Factory New Butterfly Knife Fade which can go for over $3k on its own, along with a Field-Tested Dragon Lore, a Factory New Talon Knife Fade, and many more. Fortunately, Valve has addressed the issue formally and warned users of anti-lag potentially banning them from the game. Additionally, they\u2019ll be looking into unbanning affected users who were flagged despite doing nothing wrong. It remains to be seen if Neon and many other affected players get their accounts back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
