Valve is now reversing VAC bans due to AMD drivers in CS2, according to patch notes (store.steampowered.com)

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.

A VAC ban is only for online games that use VAC, and even then I think they can still use community servers.

It doesn't lock you out of your account or anything.

Unless they are VAC secured

Even if it's an entirely different game by a duuferent publisher, you might get premtively banned from playing because the ban is visible on your account.
