Simply days after Valve began reversing bans for many who used AMD’s Anti-Lag+ characteristic in Counter-Strike 2, gamers have found a reproducible methodology for triggering a VAC ban in your account: transferring your mouse very, very quick.
As shared by YouTuber Water CS2 and others (and noticed by PCGamesN), a number of gamers have incurred the wrath of VAC by rising their mouse DPI to 10,000+ (round 9,200 DPI larger than most individuals truly play at) and going wild with their digicam. Within the examples circulating on-line, all of the participant does is swing their digicam round whereas capturing in the course of the warmup section. A number of have managed to set off a ban in simply a single match, whereas this man needed to play for over an hour earlier than VAC stepped in.
Clearly Valve’s new VAC Reside system—an developed model of its anti-cheat able to banning gamers throughout dwell matches—nonetheless wants some tweaks, however I can see why it is making the snap judgments that these high-DPI gamers are bots. At any time when I see a teammate beyblade round in circles earlier than a spherical begins, a part of me wonders in the event that they’re about to activate their hacks and immediately snap to the heads of each enemy on the map, or shoot wildly in each path to keep away from being kicked for inactivity. Sadly VAC is flying proper previous the hackusation stage and going straight to bans.
The excellent news is that this VAC bug is well avoidable as soon as you recognize about it. No person truly performs CS2 at 10,000+ DPI until they’re goofing round, and I do not counsel poking the bear by making an attempt this your self until you are on a burner account. However now could be the proper time to warn your pal who begins each match warmup by doing stationary donuts that VAC is on the prowl.
Valve has but to touch upon these bogus bans, however contemplating the studio was pretty fast to situation unbans for the entire Anti-Lag mishap, count on a repair quickly.
