Recently there was a thing where VAC would erroneously flag AMD’s antilag+ feature as cheating, and issue a ban.

AMD then quickly disabled the feature by default but now Valve also patched detection for it and is now, at least according to these patch notes, reversing the bans.

    Nah there is no defending amd in this. How would altering game files and rerouting dll’s not result in getting a ban from almost any half decent AC.

    And yes it is their job to know how games work, they’re the ones making drivers for a gaming gpu.

      I agree. You don’t ship software that alters a competitive game’s DLLs without spending 5 minutes to discuss potential side effects. This was a major oversight.
