Thousands of Counter-Strike 2 players woke up today to realize their accounts were banned. Posts on Steam for the popular FPS game revealed that the bans affected the wrong accounts. Users lost access to the game and its digital items after these bans.
Valve accidentally banned CS2 players
An unexpected decision made by Valve affects hundreds of CS2 players. According to the posts made since the past day, users are reporting that they have been banned from CS2. Details are not yet clear, but it seems to have affected Nvidia graphics card users after the last update.
Even some professional e-sports players stated that their accounts were blocked. This triggered claims that Valve’s anti-cheat systems (Vac-Ban) were triggered due to a new update or driver incompatibility.
Valve, which admitted that there were problems in CS2, confirmed that the bans were applied incorrectly due to a new update. In a statement made on the CS2 forums, he stated that he was working to fix the bans affecting players.
Banned users were also given some advice until the situation is resolved. Accordingly, you should avoid tampering with game files on Steam or using third-party software. You can also complain to Valve that your account has been banned.
Although Valve confirmed the situation, it did not share the reason for the false bans. However, it has damaged users’ trust in anti-cheat systems. Valve is working to reverse the bans, but it remains to be seen whether players will encounter other issues in the process.
