    To be fair, it seems that AMD is intercepting, modifying, and injecting code. That’s not a false positive, that VAC working as intended.

    What’s wild is that AMD didn’t have a conversation with Valve before releasing this. You can’t go messing with someone else’s code, particularly in such a highly competitive game, and not expect to screw some things up for players.

      If there’s one thing I’ve learned after years of using AMD stuff, is that they’re unbelievably incompetent, that or just straight up lazy. If Nvidia wasn’t so scummy and expensive I’d make the jump and never look back ever again.

        All of the good developers and software engineers seem to be assigned to their CPU/processor microcode division, the GPU section seems to be the leftovers of ATI and isn’t getting anywhere near as much love.

        I went full Team Red for the first time in history - AMD CPU, AMD GPU, unironically, and man, I’ve been having so many driver problems in 2023, it’s crazy.

        I never know if the next driver update will break my GPU overlay monitoring on my second monitor, get me kicked from multiplayer in MW2, or in this case, banned on CS2.

        I’ve simply stopped updating my drivers at this point unless there’s a major feature upgrade like Bug that made VR unplayable fixed, adding +50 FPS

          Been full red for over a decade, the only problem I ever had with drivers is window 11 randomly uninstalling them. But then again, I wouldn’t put mw2 on my system if you paid me.

          shrug

          Meanwhile I am full red too. And love it. Absolutely no problems, smooth and fast. And best part of all, no drivers to install There is a nice opensource tool for monitoring/tweaking if I want, but I don’t have to use it.

          Meanwhile Nvidia drivers are crap, and they still push for telemetry and want to know who you are.
