Valve has shipped out a new update to Counter-Strike 2 on December 8th, and while it’s not a major one, it addresses a key issue that a number of players had raised concerns over the past few days.
The latest CS2 update has reversed a series of recent VAC bans that were wrongly given out to users.
“Fixed a case that caused a small number of users to receive an erroneous VAC ban,” the patch notes read. “The bans will be removed.”
Apart from the false VAC bans being removed, the new CS2 update also brings with it a couple of minor changes to the competitive shooter.
