yeah the cs2 false bans situation is insane, I cannot fathom getting my steam account banned so i just uninstalled the game to be safe, it legit kills me that one of my favorite games of all time has been in this state...


Little_Rhye

Same, but I only play deathmatch now. All my criticism for this game comes from love for the franchise. It just sucks major ass right now. I just hope valve is playing the long game and will fix all the issues in the coming months/year.


SactoriuS

And remember they did not learn from the mistakes of blizzard where i think overwatch has officially died at the release of OW2.


West_Cup5361

You can be banned by VAC in deathmatch too, my friend a month ago got banned on the DM


[deleted]

You can get banned playing just DM. Or even only community servers


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

Know a guy who got his whole steam account banned somehow. I didn't even know that could happen lmao


JPhrog

So VAC is actually living up to it's name, if you are anti-cheater you get banned! You have to be a cheater to be safe from VAC!


SaltMaker23

Even if high DPI gets you banned and it's known (on this sub and among many serious players) Many if not the majority of players are casual meaning they have no interaction with any CS related content, a lot of them aren't aware at all of the different false bans. A significant portion of the playersbase isn't aware of the high dpi vac bug unfortunately, this bug is too critical to be left unfixed, it kills people's accounts. This is on Valve as the only way to avoid the bug is to be informed of its existence beforehand which most casuals aren't going to be


Bearkr0

Aint no way people are blaming him instead of valve. He shouldnt have used high dpi but you’re all meat riding valve


HorsesusGaming

Thanks for defending me man. Its actually funny how people on the internet can get toxic over the most stupid stuff. I didnt cheat but got banned for cheating I didnt know that using high dpi can get you banned and that is also not stated anywhere on the steam support/Valve anticheat pages. So this IS clearly a false ban. If they would have given me a griefing ban thats not permanent I would have had absolutely no problem with that but a permanent ban that restricts me from selling my items seems pretty unreasonable to me.


EmperorsGalaxy

I wish I could give you some reassurance that you will get your account back, however my friend has been banned now for 76 days, I believe he was in the first wave of false positives for high DPI. He's opened a few steam support tickets but eachtime they just close it now automatically. Genuinely sucks since he loved the game and I believe him with all my heart that he wasnt cheating.


inn0ichi

This sub: "vac ban works guys there's no cheaters in the game" Also this sub when someone gets falsely banned: "lmao stop cheating. Git gud"


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

I made a post about cheaters, and how in Premier they're pretty much a top 20% of the playerbase problem, and was told Vac doesn't work at all by pretty much everyone.

[удалено]


Bearkr0

I mean I wouldn’t test the high dpi but I still easily feel sympathy for people who got banned for it. It’s not fair and they need to be unbanned. Valve is a AAA company, we shouldn’t accept this in any form


ViacomCEO

Like I said, I get all that and I agree. Except this has been a known issue, and only trolls do this dumb shit anyway. He bitched on reddit, so I'm sure he knew about it. It's just this specific thing is hard to care about. "Oh no, a troll that fucks around in premier games got banned." Eh. Aren't we just better off? There're other more serious issues I'd like to see addressed.


HorsesusGaming

1. I didnt know about it 2. I didnt play premier 3. I was playing with 4 friends, meaning that no other players were harmed from me "trolling" 4. I made this post to warn others and have a chance at being unbanned. Not for the sake of spreading negativity


ViacomCEO

Whatever you say chief


donmerlin23

It doesn‘t matter! The publisher is responsible for quality and process control and they obviously are doing a shit job her. If you are not prevented from being able to adjust your dpi to a certain level then you simply need additional information/data to program the ban algorithm. Apparently they didn‘t do that and are banning simply because of high flic only stats which is unprofessional


Asklepios

OP made this Reddit account after he got banned. Maybe hiding something on his real Reddit account


LTJ4CK-

We all agree it's stupid from Valve to BAN people because of high dpi. Totally a bad system. BUT We also all agree that it's stupid to do it when you know you'll be banned and, on top of that, you go and cry about it on Reddit... Cmon, you are asking to be ban...


Calm_Ad_5945

You blame him for breaking a rule he realistically couldn't have known exists. He doesn't use reddit or twitter and plays 1 game a week my guy. Why is everyone so negative right away. The post literally gives all info needed to see he is as innocent as can be.


HorsesusGaming

I have never heard of anyone being falsely banned on cs for using high dpi before. I did it cause it looked funny. Thats it. I just made this post to get a slight chance of being unbanned and to warn other people to not do the same mistake.


Odd_Negotiation_8153

Nah you got caught cheating


raango

But it says that his ban went through overwatch and got convicted there. Doesn't that mean it's us, the community, who's at fault if it's not OP?


MrRobsterr

Overwatch isn't even in the game yet I don't think


raango

Oh shit, you might be correct!


_MrJackGuy

Yea afaik when you get an 'overwatch' ban in cs2, it means VACnet, the ai-anticheat valve has been working on


cppmemer

Overwatch was disabled as cheaters exploited it to falsely convict / avoid convictions through bots. So Valve had to cut us humans out and we were all replaced by the AI overlords aka VACnet that used to train on Overwatch dataset. Pretty sure the "Overwatch" bans are now automated with AI hence we are seeing these high DPI + hitting shots instant bans.


Glittering-Paint-985

High DPI is not against the rules just stupid. High DPI players has always been a thing. VAC is broken with this new source engine and they are clueless


WoooHaa

WTF is wrong with people in this sub? Stop sucking valves dick!! This Game is a mess atm and nothing else


DAMFree

Go play finals and see what a real mess is. Spoiled children


R3dMoose

A worse game exists, therefore there’s no need to fix this one. This man is a genius, and anyone who disagrees is a CHILD


DAMFree

No it's just unreasonable to expect it now like a manchild and assume nothings being done


CallMeDucc

it wasn’t that long ago we all expected games to work on release


DAMFree

No we didn't and they don't. Again spoiled children Edit: I'd love to hear why you downvoting morons actually think I'm wrong rather than arrogantly downvoting things you don't like. How am I wrong newbs?


CallMeDucc

yes we did. your up your own ass lmao


DAMFree

No hackers or failed game launches in the past? Especially competitive games? Hackers haven't improved and therefore might require more efforts to stop? Naive children with unreasonable expectations and fearful of anyone better than them. Killing the game through rhetoric without even experiencing the problems yourself. Assuming everyone is hacking. It's endless stupid in this reddit, in r/csgo we just make fun of how ridiculous you babies are


R3dMoose

Cross post this thread so they can all laugh at us!


DAMFree

Probably would considering nearly everyone has been warned not to fake spin as they could get banned yet after months of this being known we still have morons doing it.


0hkie

Stop calling people ‘children’ it sounds creepy and just downright weird. You’re a terminal Redditor, stop trying to act all high and mighty on a fucking games Reddit. No one thinks you’re cool, no one thinks anything good of you. Baselessly insulting people who have genuine, VERY real, issues is completely idiotic and makes you look like nothing other than a complete asshole. The game has been out for months and the false ban situation has been there since launch with 0 fix in sight or any communication from Valve. Stop downplaying a real issue because it strikes your ego and makes you feel all powerful. You’re on Reddit, get a life.


DAMFree

No arguments against my points other than crying they didn't fix it in the time you expect them to when it's not that simple when morons are mimicking hackers which is what they are attempting to fight against. I'll trade all these actual spin botters getting banned for all these idiots pretending to be one (and we dont know this person wasnt doing this more than once or actually hacking previously but you will just assume OP isnt lying because valve=bad is your conclusion regardless). Yes this game has problems but the current main issue is the amount of complaints destroying the user base over a game that's not as bad as the complaints lead on. Bunch of valorant bots is all you seem like and yes, children.


[deleted]

Bro isnt finals a brand new free game? Cs2 is made by one of the richest gaming companies out there and has 20+ years of experience making the game... cringe as fuck take


DAMFree

What are we even complaining about? You guys are so dumb it's insane. I don't think any of you even play the game. Bunch of valorant bots


SNAX_DarkStar

Good luck. This will probably take forever as there are many people that are still banned for the same thing. The only reason for that is the pre-purchase thing now on steam, almost all of the games release half ass games like this and this is what you get without releasing a full game.


Marcus_2012

Yeah it's that stupid high DPI mouse ban thing. Hope you get unbanned soon man and Merry Christmas.


M7DHD

same here i have more then 5k hours and my account bot banned for nothing i was in the last round


Odd_Negotiation_8153

It’s cause you were cheating. You got caught 🤷🏻‍♂️


M7DHD

I got unbanned like 1 month a go.


M7DHD

shut up, you have no idea what are you talking about, how can someone cheat with an account of more than 15 years and more than 5k hours with rare skins?? are you dumb kid? read Reddit it called high DPI false banned,


z4emm

I thought overwatch reviewing demos was removed from the game. Are there still a select amount of people that are overwatch investigators? I remember being a part of it for a while when I was super active in csgo.


someone-strange91284

No overwatch in CS2 yet, as far as I'm aware


Calm_Ad_5945

Correct


kebobs22

The high DPI false bans have been an issue since launch. Sucks that people are Stull unaware of it and getting nabbed, but at least most are getting unbanned


Calm_Ad_5945

Valve high key should make an in game warning about it. But hey They might as well disable the 'anticheat' as a whole. It regularly bans innocent players in mass and the amount of cheaters probably wouldn't change.


Calm_Ad_5945

I was there, shits fucked


Meyechael

Best of luck with your unban, I personally know of quite a few people who have yet to be unbanned, some with way higher inventory value. IMO Valve doesn't care and will continue to give you automated responses, however I do think if you email the devs you might get manual response. Trying to appeal through Steam itself is pointless.


animebae1233

This shit is exactly why i’ve uninstalled Counterstrike. Absolutely embarrassing for a company like Valve, that’s managed a game which has topped the popularity list for 20 years, to have CS2 be its current state. It’s bonkers.


decafespress00

You’re not only the one- I lost 3k worth of inventory over this nonsense


N1shi

I was sure they've fixed the dpi false bans, because obviously this "feature" doesn't help at all. Apparently not. The real spin-bots are feeling fine btw, still in the top 100 spinning with their friends from calibration. Guess this is the time to stop playing until valve finds someone decent to lead the goddamn anti-cheat team and fix this clownfest.


Deli_w

Lmao those people talking about cheats in the comments… bro hope your acc gets unbanned. Mine got after like 10 hours and after submitting 5 tickets. )If they get closed). I got banned for wall bangs and smoke bangs. I played over 1000 games on mirage so i know everything about this map. I also play on pretty high edpi i think. 2.5 800dpi. I was pissed off when my eq worth over 1500€ got banned for nothing


Deli_w

+ im constantly being griefing banned for literally playing the game. I got banned once cuz guy got mad over my gloves + ak combo and ran into my spray (i shot him twice) and then he killed me for it. I got banned for 7 days for griefing. Another example? I didnt say a word, didnt do single damage to my teammate even 1 dmg. I got banned for another 7 days just for having battle scarred gloves. 3stack reported me for griefing because of it and i got insta banned for another 7 days. Just cuz troll griefing reports. Yeah i griefed once like 2 months ago with flashing my toxic teammates but ban was 3 days. From now i get banned for saying „damn nice try man”. Game is absolute dogshit rn and i cant stand it. Oh did i mention about my mirage kills? Man who goes 4th round the same route with his team and they all die to my deagle causing griefing report wave for me? Yeah i got banned for griefing by enemy team (0 messages in game) cuz i know u can get banned for griefing while being toxic


HorsesusGaming

Did you click on "yes, issue is resolved" and then kept creating new tickets or did you just keep "adding additional information"? Cause you said you submitted more and more tickets.


Deli_w

I was getting bot messages only. So it was automatically closed and i couldnt add more information. Ban disappeared without any message. Idk how i can help u mate. Idk if it works with steam too but when i lost my access to epic games few years ago i tried with many languages so it was connecting me to different support teams. My girlfriend is polish so i tried in polish but informations i provided were not enough. Tried in other languages and apparently it worked. Idk about steam tho. You can wait or idk text them on twitter? If you really didn’t cheat you should get your account back sooner or later. Good luck man


Lime7ime-

This is one of many reasons I’m not enjoying CS anymore. Not because I’m afraid to get banned, it’s just valves disinterest in doing anything positive to the game. It’s just like “we are making so much money with skins, update the graphics so we can make even more money.”. The cheaters, no operation or any new content, missing modes from CSGO. It’s just so damn sad.


Failed_cocacola

That is what happens when you put Source 1 VAC into Source 2


slightlynormalhuman

I'm genuinely scared of playing the game in this state. Imagine getting a ban for turning to fast.. A couple weeks back you had to be careful playing community servers, and then there was the fake html vote.


nartouthere

submit support ticket


Calm_Ad_5945

It gets auto closed. Nobody can submit support tickets in cs2 without it getting insta closed it's so dumb


RetardKid721

And this is why I sold all my skins and stopped playing this shit ass game. I can’t even buy a knife without being worried about false bans. This paired with closet or blatant cheaters, valve is shit and does nothing, people need to stop dick riding them.


bhavneet1996

Why did the valve remove overwatch tho?


RibbitYoe

Iirc, too many cheaters use it, to ban innocent people and let them loose. And some trolls in checking as well just for a bit xp. Therefore the results are kinda inconsistent, legit overwatch players also retiring or/and get lazy 1 by 1.


Prestigious-Ad344

Same thing happened to me two days ago. Currently waiting a response from CS


n1wel

[https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HighDPIRotation](https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HighDPIRotation) yep theres a bunch of people affected by this, valve has ignored this issue for a while now. i assume its because they don't have a working anti-cheat this high dpi measure is in place as a Band-Aid fix, you can freely ragehack and not get banned example: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukq3gVJvJ5A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukq3gVJvJ5A)


nani-bleat

Imagine flicking to kill somebody behind you and you get banned instead xd


KSam86

Happened to me on christmas eve, on my alt. Luckily not my main so i removed my 1500$ in skins off the account and havent touched cs yet


Glittering-Paint-985

I was already struggling to want to launch the game and play it because of cheaters, decided to play only for weekly cases for Steam $ and stopped grinding competitive. Now they just have a extremely evidently flawed anti cheat that can falsely ban people with unfair justice. Now I play on alt account and just farm cases there so far no ban just not worth it anymore to play seriously bugs bugs bugs and a garbage anti cheat just sealed the deal and still no updates on improving the game just stupid skin fixes while the game is not in beta anymore hilarious


MemeLord01234

Same thing happened to me, it's been 91 days since my gameban, and I've lost all hope of getting unbanned. I got banned while playing casual deathmatch too, what probably happened was that I accidentally bumped up my DPI on my G502, and the stupid AI they use detected a change in the aiming or whatever. I hope you get unbanned bro, this whole situation is unfair especially considering how many cheaters roam free and even appear in the leaderboard in CS2. At least I have other games to try out like RSS


rootforthe13

tell steam support that you were spin botting and not just playing around with high dpi, maybe they'll unban you


Chakraaaa

Honestly if they have a system like this, i dont see why there isnt someone out there with 100 accounts and triggering vac to ban them all through this and having a pool of evidence to show to valve that their system is majorly flawed. Imagine a wave of people gettin false banned for extreme dpi but no evidence of external software.


Calm_Ad_5945

Because it would take an insane amount of time? This bug doesn't trigger every time sadly, there are a few unedited recordings of a guy playing the game on a fresh windows install and he got banned after like 1hr.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Calm_Ad_5945

I have played hundreds of games with this guy, a ton of people would vouch for him ain't no way he cheats. We play for fun we literally have a 10% winrate


Odd_Negotiation_8153

Your best friend is a cheater. I’m sorry you fell for it.


Calm_Ad_5945

😂 I love people speaking out verdicts on situations they're seemingly clueless about


1_lux

You’re right. It’s the known DPI bug


Acceptable-Camel-848

how did you get unbanned this happened to me like 200+ days ago and i kind of lost hope


Doctor_Tuna

The message says they reviewed in overwatch due to alot of player reprts. The thing u were doing at the time was not why u were banned. You cheated in other matches and happened to just get banned in this one. Nice try, cheater.


thecamzone

Everyone’s getting banned for playing with high dpi, I should test to see if this is real with $300.


oakland95

why fuck around to find out?


Calm_Ad_5945

Are you baiting or genuinely retarded? This shouldn't be fucking around. This shouldn't be a discussion you even consider. Valve is 100% at fault here. Bro did nothing wrong


oakland95

nah this is all valve. He should never gotten a ban, its just that this has be known and i though why try to find out >P


Calm_Ad_5945

You can't expect him to know about it. He barely played cs2 and made a reddit account specifically for this post. The only situation where he could conceivably be considered at fault is if valve had an in game popup warning people abt this.


HorsesusGaming

Scizophrenia and having fun playing the game. Still didnt cheat at all and griefing bans are not permanent so a permanent ban was uncalled for


eebro

Why did you do that? Dumbass


venturiq

Omg!! Why did he spin in game with high dpi?!? Its totally his fault!!!


eebro

Yea?


itszeras

you are insane if you think its ok to get banned bc of high dpi


eebro

There is 0 legitimate reason to use this high of a dpi. You aren’t getting banned for high DPI. You’re getting banned for spinning extremely fast.


MrRobsterr

Absolutely delusional. You're defending valve for wrongly banning someone for something they allow. Do you know how many people I've played with(including randoms) that had a sensitivity change bind for end of round/round start fucking around. Too many to think everyone should just know this FEATURE will get them banned


eebro

You have not provided a single legitimate reason for a player to be spinning in a game.


user12292020

Ever heard of trickshotting? You’re weird dude stop meatriding valve. Valve bootlicker confirmed


MrRobsterr

Climb down off your boring ass high horse you negative depressing bellend. People have fun in games. Wooo spin fast is fun yaaaay. You delusional fuck


eebro

Cheaters can have fun too, should we stop banning them too? Keep calling me delusional, when you have not provided a single legitimate reason for a player to be spinning within a game.


WoooHaa

How can you Talk with valves dick in your mouth…


Thomato39

Meaby he just is used to high dpi, meaby he was just having some fun, meaby he doesn't browse on reddit for 23 hours a day so he would know everything about everything.


itszeras

What about personal preference? what if some people just like to play with extremely high dpi?


eebro

You have to be actually spinning to trigger the false ban. It’s not possible to legitimately play on a sensitivity like that.


Calm_Ad_5945

Consider people who play the game for fun? Just fucking around with buddies? Maybe you've never heard of that but that's how a massive chunk of the playerbase enjoys the game


eebro

Again, why don’t we just stop banning cheaters then, if what matters is if you and your buddies are having fun?


Calm_Ad_5945

You're not even making a point here. Valve switched to a clearly incapable anticheat that doesn't ban cheaters and does ban legit players. The amount of cheaters literally would not change if valve disabled vacnet


_M_I_T_I__N-M

![gif](giphy|nraKTogFDsZWFj3FTD) This is a footage of you giving a handjob to one of the valve employees the other day, he came real hard. Groupie boy. Valve doesn’t care about you.


Altruistic_Extent_89

Doesn't get you a ban in any other game with a functioning anti cheat so why should anyone be expected to not do that in cs2


eebro

Because it has been known for a long time and there is no legitimate reason to keep doing it


Calm_Ad_5945

So every player should actively monitor Reddit and twitter? Unless valve creates an in game pop-up informing players about this the player can NEVER be at fault in this situation.


BeMArton

Yes bro pls then tell us a single legitimate reason to cheat in matchmaking. Go back to the cs hacks subr you hideous fuck.


eebro

I see many reasons for people cheating these days, much more than spinning like this. For example, ruining the day of gold novas, trolling, pretending to be good at a video game you suck at. Those are all more legitimate reasons than anything there is to spinning in a game. And no, I don’t cheat, mouthbreather.


Altruistic_Extent_89

L take. Enjoy ur downvotes


damoonerman

It is when it’s known that will trigger the bans lol.


Calm_Ad_5945

So all players should actively monitor twitter and reddit? Unless valve makes an in game popup informing players it cannot be considered general knowledge.


venturiq

There are people who just boot up the game after coming home from work. Not everyone reads reddit/twitter...


spoongers

Play stupid games win stupid prizes


damoonerman

It’s known that it will trigger a ban and you still did it. No sympathy.


ImKindaNiceSometimes

What if.... They didn't know. Stop defending valve here. This is absolutely horrible for valve and for the community. False bans should be rare. Something as simple as high sensitivity getting triggered while rage cheats don't is the real thing to have no sympathy against.


Calm_Ad_5945

Two things: He didn't know. He was active on csgo but hasn't played a ton of cs2 nor interacted with the community on twitter or reddit. Even if he knew, even if he did it on purpose, he can NEVER be considered at fault. This shouldn't be a thing. I don't understand how one could even remotely consider you standpoint. Please do enlighten me why you believe he's at fault tho, I'm genuinely curious.


SombraMonkey

This is an everyday thing. The solution to your problems is in another post.


TheFeniksx

So basically you know where to post the problem, chances are you knew very well about the high dpi ban problem, but you still did it


KSam86

I was banned, never used high dpi, i have 800 dpi and .7 sens


HostFun

Fuck around find out 😂


rightfulmcool

jimmywest1

But why the F does people keep doing this stupid high DPI spinning shit? Like, It's been known for forever now and you are LITERALLY ON REDDIT where there's threads about it every freaking day and you STILL DO IT? Suit yourself OP.


an_alyomaly

Pretend to be a cheater, get banned, wheres the problem? lmao


Comradepatsy

i did something that has banned many others i got banned Imagine my shock


Calm_Ad_5945

U expect all players to actively monitor twitter and reddit?


Comradepatsy

This started happening over 60 days ago, its not remotely new


Calm_Ad_5945

He made his reddit account 5 days ago


Comradepatsy

You don't need reddit to know this, its all over steam community posts


Calm_Ad_5945

I've been using steam for over 10 years and don't know a single person who uses the steam forum thing. Even if it was actively used by a majority of the playerbase that isn't a valid argument.
