The anti-cheat system of Counter-Strike 2 is a bit oversensitive. If you move the mouse too fast, you may be banned

There is already another new way in Counter-Strike 2 to get banned without cheating at all. About two weeks ago a problem with AMD’s graphics drivers caused banned accounts. This time, extremely high DPI settings on the mouse and certain in-game behavior are enough to get a ban.

Whiplash warning!

Valve’s anti-cheat tool (VAC for short) is apparently at war with too high DPI settings on the mouse. When players move the crosshair at breakneck speed, shooting around and hitting other players, this behavior is misinterpreted as cheating

As early as the beginning of October there were reports about account suspensions which were said to be related to too high DPI settings, for example in the (Steam community of CS2).

First, a player named “Somethinese” managed to upload a video with the ban to YouTube. A far player named “TabbynDump” reproduced the necessary behavior later:

As a rule, players use DPI values from 400 to 1,600. To risk being banned, these values must be five digits.

Who plays like this?

In case you’re wondering now, are there players who play with DPI values so high that their own pulse moves the crosshairs? They are probably the exception, but still don’t deserve a ban.

However, some players switch to a faster mouse setting during warm-up to loosen up the wrist. Again, some may just fool around in this way and still others express their joy or even anger with wild mouse movements

So if you belong to the DPI group “16,000 and more”, you should currently hold back a bit. Do anti-cheat systems have to be so sensitive because otherwise cheaters get the upper hand? In which game have you experienced the most cheaters so far? Which game do you think handles them best? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.
