In competitive online video games, response speed is everything. In just a second, the situation can completely change depending on who acts first, although often the player is not the only one responsible. Lag<\/strong>, the delay between a user input and its reflection in the game, frustrates many players every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s due to internet speed, the type of servers the game uses, or even the player’s own PC<\/strong>, the experience can be satisfying or a total ordeal depending on the lag we encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n

In response to this situation, AMD <\/strong>released in its latest driver update the features Radeon Anti-Lag and Radeon Anti-Lag+<\/a><\/strong>, allowing gamers to play video games with less latency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Radeon Anti-Lag adjusts the CPU’s workload to prevent it from getting too far ahead of the GPU<\/strong> (thus reducing the amount of work accumulated by the CPU), Radeon Anti-Lag+ applies frame alignment within the game’s own code<\/strong>, enabling better frame synchronization and even lower latency.<\/p>\n\n\n

While these features can be a blessing for many players, for some, they have been a curse. Counter-Strike 2<\/a><\/strong>, the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most played FPS games in history, has been banning players who have AMD’s Anti-Lag functions enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valve explains the main problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Valve<\/a><\/strong>, the issue lies with Anti-Lag+, which triggers the company’s anti-cheat system: Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC)<\/strong>. It confuses AMD’s low latency mode with player-activated cheats by intercepting and redirecting the game’s dynamic link libraries (DLL) functions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Certainly, Valve has already confirmed that, once AMD resolves this issue in the next driver update, “we will be able to identify affected users and lift their ban.”<\/strong> So, if you are one of the affected by this situation, you’ll have to wait a bit to play with your friends in Counter-Strike 2<\/a> again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
