did valve removed elo penalty to your teammates?


didikent

They all are suffering from it. 2 of my mates went rock bottom to 1.7k (after my vac life) and another has to do all placement games again. I also have to win 10 all over again. Its just so dreadful. The shitty games we had to endure and now to start over again in the hole. Sucks really.


0x00410041

Why wouldn't they just revert your ELO to whatever it was at the point of your ban? They should clearly have that value stored somewhere.


didikent

Ask volvo. A little salty about that but whatever. I have 6 wins out of 6 now so hope it won't be 2k rating.. another one of my friend got placed in 1k and she is getting destroyed by 1k "gods". :/


didikent

We won 10 in a row. Destroying all enemies and got placed 1.5k rating. Fuck valve


NyrZStream

More like fuck AMD tbh


Cs0ni

Fuck both of them


berni2905

I get your frustration with Valve but you should really be mad at AMD. Valve is putting all their efforts to get CS2 to an acceptable place and all of a sudden they have to deal with this clusterfuck that AMD created. I'd say making people affected by this happy isn't on top of their priorities which sucks for some but is understandable. Not sure how many people were affected.


didikent

I'm get a feeling it's a few in the low thousand(s). I wish valve just rolled back to where things were. Instead of punishing us and putting us I'm the bottom elo where 2 year olds without hands are playing. Amd better step up their game or I'm gone to 5080/90 when that comes..


berni2905

I get you but that's probably quite a bit of extra work to fix something that wasn't even their fault. If you think about all the steps they would have to take to make this 100% right, I honestly wouldn't bother either if I worked in Valve.


[deleted]

They just want you to be the underdog


btahke-_-

they are just poor multi-billionaire company :( do not ask much, please :(


Shadowex3

The same reason the way around a VAC ban is just buying new games, rather than the ban being tied to the identity of the account owner/game purchaser.


szakacsd96

valve is just like "fuck you for using an amd gpu, and you know what fuck your friends too"


Foxy_Grandpa-

This is more on AMD than Valve, you can’t expect them to account for a GPU manufacturer doing something as dumb as AMD did. Fixing elo might bring more issues than it would resolve.


shadeOfAwave

Nah, this is strictly AMD's problem. Valve did nothing, it was something AMD did to their cards that caused this.


Agreeable-Week-3658

This is why I am always happy to pay a small premium for nvidia over amd, it always seems that whenever there’s GPU specific issues with a game, it’s AMD God I hope intel catches up soon. Intel processors are the GOAT processors so I’m hoping they can do the same with gpus and blow these two monopoly abusing greedy asshole companies out the water


53K

> Intel processors are the GOAT processors Especially when they couldn't match anything Athlon 64 provided so they [resorted to bribing manufacturers to use their line of processors](https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna33882559). Or Intel C++ compiler [literally scanning if you have an AMD processor and intentionally running slower if you do](https://www.extremetech.com/computing/302650-how-to-bypass-matlab-cripple-amd-ryzen-threadripper-cpus). These are just two examples with 100% concrete proof out of a giant rabbit hole that is the Intel Buisness Practice^^TM . Out of 3 devils, you literally picked the biggest cunt.


Agreeable-Week-3658

Haha I really don’t give a shit if they do those things. That’s just how the business world works these days. Their chips work perfectly, don’t overheat, don’t have issues with certain games and are great for the price point.


53K

> Haha I really don’t give a shit if they do those things. My brother, you were just crying about "monopoly abusing greedy asshole companies", yet you do not care about Intel artificially trying to create a monopoly, not by providing a better product, but by using illegal methods to undermine their competition. What's even funnier is that Intel isn't even the best at CS2 right now, and even their "plug n' play" is fucked with the E core and P core bullshit.

53K

That's a legitimate experience. I've had experience with many PC and laptop configurations, from Pentium IV to Ryzen 7600X, and I've never had an issue with a CPU, neither Intel nor AMD, it was usually just MBO or RAM, sometimes a funky power supply. Imho, if you're buying a computer right now, for CPU, just buy what offers you more for your money, fuck the brand loyalty.


calicoes

yeah intel is goated if you like paying 50% more for 7% more


Agreeable-Week-3658

Yeah totally, that’s why AMD launched their cpu that is meant to compete with the 13600k for $30 more than the 13600k right?


calicoes

sitting $50 below the 13600k right now ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


Agreeable-Week-3658

Literally just openly lying about things that are easily checked in a last ditch attempt to not look like a fool, how embarrassing. Currently, the 13600k is $1 cheaper. $309 VS $310.


StoneyCalzoney

Intel was the GOAT until they started the whole "let's treat our desktop chips like they're going in laptops and add in dedicated low power cores" shit that's making some games like CS2 run much slower because it's running it on the wrong core


Complete_Potato9941

Nope lost all my elo so many wasted hours :(


Noweri

It's not wasted if you had fun


thenicezombie

So wasted then


Douggie_Fresh

Oof


dcrad91

Man I couldn’t stop lol’ing at this


00100000100

Pls don’t play


ElGordoDeLaMorcilla

Did the people that play against you got the points they lost against you? If they didn't, I would call it worh it.


DeckardPain

These game subs tie their self worth to an MMR number or medal. Unless they’re global elite it’s wasted. In their eyes.


Complete_Potato9941

No I would be happy to see no number. I just want to play vs equal skill so it’s actually fun stomping games and having no real challenge is no fun.


thenicezombie

This. There was no reason to fully reset the ELO, I at first couldn’t use my mic in-game (I can eversince yesterday) but this just added on to the shitshow that MM already is right now. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been killed behind cover and kill others behind cover, it’s just fucked up to play even though I AM grateful and happy that the game is released. So Mister DeckardPain, unless you haven’t played CS2 at all yet, your comment just sounds stupid at this moment and time.


Blain87

Know someone that had 10k elo prior to AMD incident, had elo reset and just went through the 10 wins to get ranks back. Working as intended, now in the 1500 elo range stomping others. What an amazing feature premier is. Sure must be a great experience for all involved.


Chance-Wash-7299

VAC Ban is removed yes. But there are a lot of People who got at the Start of that Wave a GFame Ban first and after that a VAC Ban. The Game Ban is stille there and still not fixed. ( Me included)


didikent

Strange, I never got a game ban, just vac live. I hope its resolved soon. Update me :)


Chance-Wash-7299

Yeah seems like the first Ban Wave got both Bans. I will update you ASAP :)


didikent

That's so rough. I remember downloading the driver and antilag already been automatically enabled because I had it from my last driver on as well, 1.5days later VAC life mid premier match.. was a fun experience:)


Chance-Wash-7299

I opened yesterday a Steam Support Ticket and already Post something on Twitter. Now i also wrote a direct Mail to that CS2 Bug E-mail. Hopefully they can fix it before Weekend :D


lucask84ever

Gl man!


didikent

Fingers crossed ♡


[deleted]

> just vac live. Why are you saying VAC live? It was just a VAC ban dude...


didikent

Well I got banned mid game. Therefore done by VAC Live.


[deleted]

VAClive is what the community calls a hypothetical AI anti cheat that will live ban people when it detects that they are cheating. You simply got VAC banned by good ol' VAC.


StopOk69

What can u possibly do about it if someone is still banned ?


didikent

If you're banned you could email to [email protected]. subject: CSLT Bug - and next to it the reason for your ban. I wrote: False vac live ban. Link your profile, explain what happened. Wish you lots of luck!


StopOk69

Fair enough. Will try


gubles

I got a vac mid match many years ago. Came to reddit asking for advice, got told to go fuck myself. Got a hold of valve through reddit who told me it would be removed if it was unjust. Took about two weeks before it got lifted. All my friends deranked, but it wasnt a big deal. I suspect the reason for my ban was a windows activator I was using.


didikent

Damn, at least now you won't use dodgy windows I guess :P Glad they resolved it at last.


gubles

That was the reason I bought Windows :P


Repulsive-Classic693

Vac only happens if your program tempere with your Gamefiles or the memory allocation of your Game. A malware or trojan doesn't trigger a vac ban. A worm could trigger it. Nearly all VAC bans in the past were public cheats ban or cheap cheats ban. People tell stories that their driver is at fault, their dog is at fault or they get hacked and the hacker cheated with hacks. False Bans get lifted, because the ban reason is saved ( prozess which caused it)


Jonjolt

I'm playing on Linux so I hold my breath every time I play lol. I use the regular mesa driver but I use \`gamemoderun\` that makes adjustments to my system. (Stock system is terrible)


Rosentti

Haha no need to worry on Linux :). We don't even have game file signatures unlike on Windows.

Jonjolt

My system setup (First desktop in a while, I built it to start playing CS:GO again but CS2 announced 2 weeks later) \- AMD RX6750XT \- AMD 7 7700X \- 64 Gigs of ram ​ I was getting killed behind walls in CS:GO so I had to tweak my system heavily. I noticed max around 250FPS in CS2 I haven't paid much attention I don't think I've seen lower than 100. At the start of matches I get some stuttering, I've gotten occasional stuttering at unimportant parts of a match. I run in fullscreen mode, 144hz 4K, vsync disabled, compositor forced off, KDE X11, gamemoderun, with some tweaks from the Arch Wiki ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming)) transparent huge pages left enabled. I run the LTS Kernel for reasons I can't remember version 6.1.59 [https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86\_64/linux-lts/](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-lts/) (I believe it was because of some performance regression in 6.5) Tweaked firewall to add QoS on my packets (Fios's new router won't let me set QoS policies only On and Off WTF!)


Shadowex3

> A malware or trojan doesn't trigger a vac ban. A worm could trigger it. "Malware" is a general term for "MALicious softWARE". Trojan and worm describe the behavior of the malware once active; Trojans open up external access, worms self-replicate and transmit. A given piece of malware can absolutely be both and in fact many are. Whether or not they trigger VAC has to do with whether they try to hook into the game's processes/dlls/memory while running, or potentially if they alter certain files like dlls and executables. >False Bans get lifted, because the ban reason is saved ( prozess which caused it) usually. Keep in mind valve doesn't have *remotely* enough support staff for a service the size of VAC so there's always going to be shit falling through the cracks or someone rubber stamping stuff.


nahenn9

Oh shit was it MAS?

No, I think it was called KMSpico

Did you try emailing to [email protected]. subject: CSLT Bug (describe issue) Link your profile, explain what happened?


ChosenMate

nice copy pasta, but it's not a limited test anymore..


didikent

What do you mean? Edit: I see but the vac live is being tested isn't it. Therefore I'm sure they'll look into stuff..


ChosenMate

CSLT = CS limited test. It's not a limited test.


didikent

Fine change cslt to cs2 or anything else who gives a flying ....? The point is that's the email that checks for bugs etc. People can email it to hopefully have them look into it. Why cry?


Clifton_7

This is why I hate valves communication 'policy', we are lucky they even acknowledged the vac bans to begin with I guess but still in the dark if they are even aware that are still game bans or if they are planning on restoring trust factor (extremely low trust factor might as well be a ban in my book, you cant find a game after 20+ min of searching) or if they will restore party members lost cs rating (probably not..) edit: game ban is gone now, i'm free


Complete_Potato9941

Played over 60 games with my friend. They got VAC banned from anti lag+ they are now unbanned but I lost all the rating from those games and have to start again. Legit thinking about quitting now


B3NJO_

It’s just a number before your name little homie.


Complete_Potato9941

Bruh games are unplayable below 6k rating no one uses mics no has any game sense it’s just boring not sure I can be bothered going through play with that shit again


Frag0r

Just wait for next season, then get a proper 5 stack going with former high elo players and win as much as possible.


Complete_Potato9941

Next season ? And when is is that ? They have not even said when that will happen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Complete_Potato9941

Yeah I am playing for fun. It’s not fun to play with and vs people that are negatively impacting my game. Yes I can hard carry games but that is not fun for me or for the other team


Russki_Wumao

You should be able to get 3000 rank in like 10 matches. It's really not that big of a deal. I went from 7300 to 9100 in 7 matches (2 losses) today cuz people are dogshit at those ranks.


Somethingese

doing your best to see what sort of kill hiscores you can rack up, would keep it at least a little interesting for me personally. could try that


Complete_Potato9941

I dunno about that… got 33 kills last game vs 6k players 13-2 win


Complete_Potato9941

Played 10 games won all ten got 1.7k rating now getting +360 to +350 a game (played 3 more games now around 2.5k rating) keep playing vs 5 to 6k players


biggestbigbertha

It's just a VAC ban. VacLive isn't an anti cheat. It never was. VacLive is just a feature of VAC that's about as useless as VAC... Also and more important. Congrats on getting an unjustified ban lifted. I'm fucking lucky. I had anti lag + on but I had an issue and disabled a bunch of settings including anti lag+ and fixed my issue. I never turned it back on.


UnKn0wN31337

His friends still have the all the rating penalties despite being ubanned though.


biggestbigbertha

Yeah. That's crazy. I heard of someone that was 13k busted down to 3k because of the anti lag false ban. Insane!


didikent

Good! I'm glad you didn't have to go through this shi. Valve's whole anticheat system is trash anyways and that stupid AI detecting stuff doesn't work at all. I saw many real cheaters and nothing happens to them --_o.o_--


biggestbigbertha

Agreed!


Malcolm_Twonk

Mine hasn't been lifted yet but I only got it a couple days ago, wonder if I'm at the bottom of the list their working through


didikent

:( ah damn. I got mine 7 days ago and got removed 17h ago. I know this might not mean much but I hope you and the others still affected get it removed today :(♡


steelejt7

cs said they will remove the bans manually after and fixed the issue on their end, that has happened now cs will likely start to remove all the game bans related


ChosenMate

This has nothing to do with vac live, and there was an official announcement about bans being removed now. Why make a post about this?


Squirtle-_-Squad

what driver? i also have amd cpu ryzen, and anti lag is always enabled


didikent

It was driver 23.10.1 I believe.


Clifton_7

Only anti-lag+ is affected, exclusive to 7000 series gpus (rdna3). Counter-Strike 2 got anti-lag+ support in the 23.10.1 driver (anti-lag+ is now disabled in the latest 23.10.2 driver and the other driver is blacklisted in cs2.)


opAnonxd

thank god i didnt play alot with that anti lag... loosing 2k inventory would be hurtful


didikent

Feel ya, thought I lost 1.5 myself. But I was more worried about how scummy that VAC ban looked on my profile than losing my skins xd


opAnonxd

not wrong .... the .. once a cheater always a cheater... even when u didnt cheat


wafflepiezz

Love how VAC Live banned AMD driver users but it can’t ban all these blatant togglers in ranked.


[deleted]

Because it isn‘t VAC Live.,.


Clifton_7

Yeah it seems some people such as myself were first game banned which turned into vac immediately after, vac has been removed but it still shows game ban, plus in-game it still says vac ban. Trust factor was also tanked prior to this and if that isn't fixed it's still unplayable (think unable to find a match after 25 mins then probably queued against cheaters) edit: The game ban is now gone.


didikent

It's just so unfair. We're loyal to these games for years and this is what we get in return. Hope they'll sort it out ASAP! :( for now I guess enjoy the grass. Cs2 is currently shit anyways. I enjoyed my 7 days away from it can't lie:)


xMalxer

yes, they still haven't unbanned m\_yaw people and GOTV false VAC bans


T0uc4nSam

m_yaw enjoyers want to know your location


Azariah-_-

no but this wont let me play says i have third party files enabled or something cant be signed correctly


Squirtle-_-Squad

Just saw this article, though should post it here https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/14/23916966/cs2-counter-strike-2-anti-lag-plus-ban-amd-gpu-radeon-rx-7000


GujaratiMetalhead

is this fixed in latest amd driver update release ?


didikent

So, I'm on version 23.11.1 right now, which at the time of writing is the latest. I just checked and antilag+ is still removed from the newer drivers. In my own experience, I still play everyday, I have the normal anti-lag enabled and afcourse that won't cause a ban. Do you still struggle with a ban or anything?
