False Snap Tap detections boot innocent CS2 players who strafe too quickly

Valve dropped a CS2 update earlier today aimed at putting an end to hardware-assisted counter-strafing. An inadvertent side-effect has already popped up though: The game is now kicking innocent players for quickly pressing buttons.

These frequent kicks seem to be from the strafe detection code being too sensitive, as reported by Counter-Strike 2 players across the CS subreddit and X (formerly Twitter). Until it’s dialed down to more reasonable levels, you’re hereby warned from repeatedly pressing the sidewise movement buttons (which are A and D for most CS2 players) if you are playing on Valve’s official matchmaking servers—you may get kicked.
