GeForce Nvidia Experience can ban your cs2 account
I have conducted some research about the reason for my ban. I discovered that using Nvidia GeForce Experience can be flagged as hacking. Therefore, for those new to CS2, here's some advice: avoid using that software application developed by Nvidia.

Absolute rubbish. Valve isn't gonna ban you for using Nvidias software unless it behaved like a cheat like AMDs antilag+, in which case it would be removed for being false.

Game bans in cs2 can be for more then just cheating.

I use Geforce experience all the time and never have a problem with it. Stop spreading lies.

Maybe I don't know, but I still got banned even though I have Nvidia and not AMD. Nvidia GeForce Experience was the only thing running in the background on my PC when I got banned.

Because you have cheats on your PC thats why stop telling BS about drivers when AMD issue started they said on twitter.

The person affected cannot run the research to explain what affected them because it'll be biased and therefore unreliable. If Geforce Experience was the reason of your ban, your profile would be showing "VAC Ban", not "game ban". AMD players got VAC banned when there was this false AMD feature banning people.

Nice try tho.
Why, nice try! Don't tell me you think I'm attempting to lie and deceive others. Lol, believe it or not, this is the truth. Anyway, if they fix the issue, I believe I will be unbanned. If not, this is a significant problem for new false bans.

But you are lying there is no news that Nvidia drivers are causing this bans when AMD had issue even the CS2 official twitter account warn users about it and now you come with some research that you did BS.

VAC BANS are given when a software is found manipulating game files, GAME BANS are commonly given by VAC NET, if your ban is false, it'll be removed automatically. I was game banned a month ago and it was removed, so there is no reason to worry.

This was a false ban wave on December 5th, it wasn't caused by a NVIDIA driver, CS2 dev team mentioned it was an update that caused it.

People were spreading fake info. If NVIDIA drivers or softwares were causing bans it would be vac bans and not game bans...

I will try to contact support; perhaps they can review my case. I don't know, but I'm speaking the truth. I didn't use cheats, and my PC is new. I'm just so unlucky lol. I'm even a game developer, and I understand the impact cheats can have on a game and its community.
