The latest patch for the Counter-Strike 2 has given players using third-party anti-cheat software—some unanticipated issues. The latest patch is a fairly minor update with mostly holistic optimizations but it is causing keyboards to malfunction for players on FACEIT.
Players have linked the issue to anyone who is using a third-party anti-cheat and not just FACEIT players. EasyA anti-cheat users have also reported the same issue: the keyboard stops working in the game.
The majority of the player base opts to play in FACEIT given the poor condition of anti-cheat in the game. Third-party systems are better suited to deal with hackers and provide a relatively better experience for players at the highest level of the game.
While casual players stick to MM and Premier modes for CS2, the more serious ones could be found grinding on FACEIT and other platforms which is why having an issue that prevents gamers from playing on the platform essentially affects a big chunk of the player base.
This bug has pitted the community against Valve as having your keyboard completely disconnected during a crucial point in the game can cost players the entire match. Not only this prevents anyone from playing the game but the frustration might cause them to lose DAUs.
Valve has yet to publicly acknowledge the issue but given its serious nature, an update can be expected soon. Stay tuned to find out what becomes of this bug and in the meanwhile, you can try playing some casual MMs or Premiers to kill the time.
