AMD's Anti-Lag feature is getting gamers banned from Counter-Strike 2

This is extremely wild to me.<p>AMD literally made an &quot;internal cheat&quot; for cs2. This is a widely known guaranteed ban and likely among most people (if you modify the game engine then you get banned). Even with weak anticheat like VAC.<p>This means AMD didn&#x27;t work with valve at all on this feature, a feature I assume both parties would be interested in. This would be one of the biggest esport games for the anti-lag feature that amd could advertise as supporting.<p>On top of not contacting valve, they had the expertise to do this, but somehow didn&#x27;t realize they would get banned?<p>Somewhat hilariously there&#x27;s no way they did this for valorant - that game wont even launch if you have debug tools open (unless amd is so dense they worked around that).

Given the public outcry over the sudden and unexpected demise of CSGO (especially for those that paid), this will only make things worse.

Can anyone explain how the anti-lag feature works? And why would it result in a ban?

It isn&#x27;t just CS2. Apex Legends has players affected by this. Respawn Entertainment has addressed it and said is reverting bans. I guess part of the issue is an AMD update made it default on, so players who didn&#x27;t even know it got included were affected.
