That is good that both companies working together to solve the problem, AMD released 23.10.2 to stop anti lag+ running in that game.

Good this didn't take to long.

I'm still on 23.10.1 with Anti lag+ off.

better than not at all. Someone should have caught it, at least they have now.

Amd is pretty clueless if they didn't think this would cause issues.

More like both are working independently: AMD by pulling the driver, Valve by flagging the faulty driver if still present. Nothing that actually involves cooperation, and no actual fixes yet, just two different approaches to not making things worse.

How on earth "let's inject code into executables with online anti-tamper checks without contacting the executable owner, what could possibly go wrong?" even got by the initial sniff-test let alone made its way to production and rollout without testing is a much bigger issue.
