Re: Possible AMD driver bug causing Anti-Cheat bans.
Just to clear up some confusion in when Anti-lag+ was released and I will share my research on this topic:
Anti-Lag+ has been an available feature for Apex since Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1 which released September 6th. Apex was a launch title for this feature (Link to what Anti-lag+ is and what it does).
Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 was released on September 20th.
Adrenalin Edition 23.9.3 was released on September 26th.
Adrenalin Edition 23.10.1 was released on October 11th and later recalled after Valve's tweet.
Looking over the release notes only suggests Anti-lag+ added to more supported games, there are no notes saying fixes or alterations were made. That doesn't mean there weren't changes, just nothing made public.
My best guess is that Easy Anti-cheat has been flagging Anti-lag+ users, monitoring and building a profile for what it believes is an exploit since the feature has been released. Or since some unannounced update changed some parameter that triggered EAC to begin flagging users. Few weeks later, it begins to roll out bans after it has built a profile.
That said, this is my best guess... We won't have a definitive answer until we get an official update from someone at EA or Respawn.
Per my previous post in this thread, I had reached out to a Respawn Community Manager on reddit but, either there was some miscommunication or they didn't really read my post and assumed it was related to a prior Linux issue... I reached out again asking for clarification... Guess we'll see.
If any EA Community Managers could please provide an update to this issue, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Respawn Community Manager has responded
