Valve bans Snap Tap, Jump-throw, and movement automation via scripting in CS2

Counter-Strike 2 developers have made an official statement banning the Snap Tap feature, available to owners of Razer keyboards, as well as various types of scripts that offer a similar effect. Now, using them will result in exclusion from the match (for now, this only applies to official Valve servers).

Recently, some hardware features have blurred the line between manual input and automation, so we've decided to draw a clear line on what is or isn't acceptable in Counter-Strike.

We are no longer going to allow automation (via scripting or hardware) that circumvent these core skills and, moving forward, (and initially--exclusively on Valve Official Servers) players suspected of automating multiple player actions from a single game input may be kicked from their match.

To prevent accidental infractions, in-game binds that include more than one movement and/or attack actions will no longer work (e.g., null-binds and jump-throw binds).

If you have a keyboard that includes an input-automation feature (e.g., "Snap Tap Mode"), be sure to disable the feature before you join a match in order to avoid any interruption to your matches.

Note that Valve took its stance on Snap Tap and similar scripts just a couple of days before the start of the closed regional qualifiers for RMRs. These changes are expected to have an effect on the Counter-Strike 2 pro scene.

In today's patch, the developers not only banned certain types of movement/shooting input automation in CS2, but also began testing the updated VacNet 3.0 anti-cheat.
