Valve fixes issue causing mistaken game bans

5-12-2023 20:27

The developer has acted quickly to rectify an issue caused by yesterday's update.

Valve have acted to fix an issue that was causing players to receive false CS2 game bans, and the developer has announced that ban rollbacks are in progress.

The issue became apparent over the last day as many players took to Twitter to voice their concern and surprise at the bans, with professional players also affected.

Speculation has circulated that the cause of the bans was related to AMD/NVIDIA drivers, but Counter-Strike developer Valve did not mention any specifics regarding the cause of the problem.

Good

correct me if im wrong but since they go through steam inventories, you'd still have the items, just no way to use them, right? i know literally nothing about how it works.

Sell it to a valve employ for half the price->valve unbans the account for himself->sells you the skins 20% more expensive then what he paid you to your new account->sell the skins from that new account for full price. Follow for more tips.

how would you feel if there is the slightest possibility to get banned despite you never cheated? false bans are way worse for the game than the actual cheaters.

People gets game banned for using m_yaw command and they haven't spoke out at all about it and haven't reverted any of those bans and steam support does jack shit so I wouldn't be so calm with getting wrongfully banned.

They still need to fix their fucking game. The game is stuttering so much after that one update its unplayable. And before you guys come here saying, "Get better PC" or "Get better Internet" I have average 300 fps and average 25 ping so that's not the problem.

2023-12-06 10:26

Valve doesn't allow any kind of feedback or discussion of anything. The worst customer care in any business anywhere! Hopefully Valve goes down and is taken over of some serious business owner who actually care about they're service users ASAP.
