GAME BAN Bugs With High DPI Rotation

[咸鱼]

GAME BAN, My $40000 skin account has ended due to high DPI rotation (played for 4000 hours) in CS2

2023/11/4 Update

Hello, everyone , Moderators

Until Valve clears our names, I don't care how you label us, whether it's as liars, cheaters. Arguing about these matters is meaningless.Of course, I can't vouch for whether any players other than myself have used cheats or if there is indeed a cheater among our team.

The occurrence of the incident

I obtained access to CS2 testing on September 28th

I have been playing CS2 from September 28th to October 14th and during that period, everything was normal

The occurrence of the ban

On 10/14 in the middle of the night, I discovered that my main account had received a GAME BAN.

But i have another account(XX), which I use exclusively for CS1, as I didn't join CS2. This account remained unaffected and didn't receive a GAME BAN.

Confused

I initially wondered if perhaps I had been reported by teammates or strangers during my matches the day before, but I felt my performance was quite average.

Therefore, on 10/16, I sent two emails to Valve. One was addressed to the CSGO Team Feedback regarding trust factor at CS2Team [at] valvesoftware [dot] com. The other email was sent through Steam Support.But Steam support but didn't get any useful respon. They only told me that the information has been handed over to the responsible team.

Suspecting the possibility

On the day of the ban, on October 14th, during my warm-up time in leisure mode, I used my mouse to raise the DPI and rotate it, When I returned from dinner, I received a game ban.

Testing another account(XY)

Because my main account has been banned, I decided to use another account (XY) to play. This account (XY) is a friend's account and has not played CS1 or CS2 before. Then, using high DPI rotation, playing a few CS2 games ended. Surprisingly, the account (xy) was quickly banned from the game.

I'm not sure if this issue is the cause of the BAN, but I have shared the details with you.

So why aren't there as many people affected by this recent wave of mistaken bans?

Only a few players are using high DPI rotation and have been reported as OverWatch, but CS2 has not yet had an OverWatch. This group is quite small, and that's precisely why we are speaking out.

Here are the current posts in the CSGO discussion board, and these people share similar experiences with me:

(1). https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/3881597531968050338/
(2). https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/3881596897254303112/
(3). https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/3884977551672229814/

Users who are suspected to be affected

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HighDPIRotation/discussions/0/3934517363290791794/

But we have discovered some common characteristics!

(1).Their accounts are mostly old accounts, with over 5 years of history.
(2).Their playtime ranges from approximately 500 to 2000 hours, and even more.
(3).Around September 28th to present, some of them started receiving GAME BANs.

These signs make it seem like perhaps cheaters during this period went a bit wild? They chose to use cheats on their old accounts? Or maybe Valve's anti-cheat system had some issues?

Self-declaration

Lastly, I want to reiterate that I've invested a lot of time and effort into this account. I love the Steam platform and enjoy playing games like CSGO, APEX, Dota 2, Battlefleld 2042, and more. I have never considered cheating to solve any problems, which is why my playtime is high. While I don't like to bring this up, my inventory does have some value. No one would risk using an account of such value for cheating, and I hope Valve can see this.

To be honest, we've tried various ways to appeal this issue, but Valve's lack of response or action is something we cannot accept. So, we are speaking out to defend ourselves.

We have submitted complaints through several channels, but none have received a response:

1.STEAM support center.

2.Vacreview[at] valvesoftware [dot] com

3.cs2team [at] valvesoftware [dot] com

4.Gaben [at] valvesoftware [dot] com

5.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive discussions. (These discussions are often locked by moderators, preventing us from gathering more people to voice our concerns.)

6.Reddit

We earnestly request the moderators not to delete our posts. Please listen to our thoughts. We don't want to argue about who among us might have cheated or not. We just want the truth.

If possible, we need more players with similar cases to come forward and ask VALVE to investigate and fix this bug.
So we can get justice.

Thank you to everyone on this board.

If anyone can get in touch with Valve staff, please let me know. Thank you.

I've also created a Steam group. If there are individuals with similar experiences, please feel free to apply for membership directly.
