AMD effectively ‘unlaunches’ Anti-Lag+ technology with new drivers AMD released a new driver that disabled Anti-Lag+ in all supported games. After numerous reports of gamers facing account bans when utilizing AMD’s new Anti-Lag+ technology, the company has taken a drastic step to address the issue. ...
It has nothing to do with DRM. Injecting code is how cheats work. Every online game on the planet will automatically ban for it.
The fact that AMD employs even a single person who didn't instantly recognize that you unconditionally can't inject code in a multiplayer game is an embarrassment, let alone that it's enough people, and in the relevant departments, for it to ship. You shouldn't be qualified to be a janitor at AMD if you're that clueless.
Yes, obviously the way this functions definitely isn't like baby's first game hack and makes anticheats go apeshit by injecting its own DLLs, it's just game devs and big bad nvidia looking to put good guy AMD down.
The AMD devs must have experimented with injection and test played with the new drivers before release. I wonder why this wasn't caught by Valve then.
I thought what should have happened was either the dev would get banned, or contacted by Valve and get told they technique should not be used, before driver release, and they could have worked with Valve to fix their code and/or VAC.
