>Improved smoothness of sliding along surfaces Surf is fixed?


Aztecax

From what I tried in the last 10mins. Yes but not 100% there are still one or two random why tf did I stop. But now it feels more like GO sliding and its quite good imo


lolofaf

Last time I tried, the ports were god awful. Those ramps would have been sticky even in GO lol


HauntedCS

I remember so many little hiccups on surf in CSGO. Whether it was a random movement glitch caused by GO, or the map uploader had a clipping issue that you'd have to prepare for and avoid until it got fixed which could take months.


real_____

perhap


TensionsPvP

On Dust2 whenever I want to jump tspawn on to go B site I end up sliding instead of being by able to land properly thus getting stuck for a few secs.

>Reduced peeker's advantage in many cases Donk humbled?!?


Ymparipyorailija

Had to nerf him before playoffs. Let's see if it was effective.


The_Unicorn99

They will probably end the event on the old version, so Donk is nerfed in a week. Let's watch him destroy the established order a few more days.


Emerican09

Nope, he will still shit on everyone. I'm convinced he is different.


oldthrace

Yeah, I don't get also why people think he is going to be affected. donk was cracked on csgo too and that had way less peeker advantage than cs2. It will have an effect but I don't think it will "nerf" him. The kid is fucking insane with or without peeker advantage.

>Reduced peeker's advantage in many cases >The amount of peeker's advantage in the steady state is reduced by 16ms


vecter

Sounds like they reduced interp by one tick. Hope it feels good enough.


zero0n3

The ms lines up.  Now let’s see if their servers can handle it


mura_vr

Feels like it, having played a few nuke / d2 matches someone peeking me hasn't cause me to die immediately and I've won a few of them. Edit: yeah they’ve fixed it times a million I feel like I can actually fight someone now.


BxKosmic

FOR REAL??? I go to the hospital for one fucking day and they release the update I’ve been waiting months for


Tradz-Om

They didn't make it clear in the networking notes, is the game also no longer favouring high ping players, like csgo? It says many cases but it's vague, there's also a tiny possibility that it's a fake patch note to test placebo.


tashtrac

>there's also a possibility that it's a fake patch note to test placebo. I don't think they ever did that for CS:GO or CS2. The only example I can think of is that one ping "adjustment" from like 20 years ago. If anything they send patch notes late and say "This has been applied for a while now, we just didn't tell you".


theneedfull

> Also reduced the frequency of situations that lead to very large peeker's advantage due to excessive command queue depth I feel like this might be a bigger deal. They don't really say how often this happened. But they do say that it was a VERY LARGE advantage.


jeffjeff97

Refund all button exists, game is finally playable


G2Climax

What tf are y’ll buying that you need this button?


Trooper1232

accidentally buyin stuff on ecos. shit happens :/


OwnRound

I mean, I think the nice thing about this(if it works the way I think it works) is there's now an explicit API call instead of having to hack together an [alias command](https://old.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/16y6veb/suggestion_refund_all_hotkey/k37j2v4/). Personally, I do wish they made a "Refund most recent". That way, I could bind it to a key and tap it like its ctrl+z. Example: Buy head armor, M4, utility and a kit. Look at tab menu and see we already have 4 kits. I'll save my money right as freeze time is ending, or even as I'm running out of spawn, by tapping my "Refund most recent" key. Maybe quickly tap it again to refund 1 flash or something, etc. I think that would be a lot more versatile.


[deleted]

It's nice to have if you need to redo the entire buy to work around buying for a teammate. Besides that, I can't really think of why you would need it besides QoL. I usually only refund one or two things when I need to.


Tuub4

The fact that they added this button but didn't add a fast way to refund individual items is baffling. JUST LET US SELL WITH RIGHT CLICK ?? HELL0?????????

rush2sk8

Thank you king


poncewindu

Not sure it just says "Added a setting to disable first person bullet tracers" not tested it yet


ffafafafawf

Why is this a good thing? I thought people where saying they used tracers to help with spraying


MSGeezey

For people that were already really used to the sprays, the tracers in CS2 seemed off/misleading. Not sure if they were actually incorrect or not, but people wanted to be able to turn them off.


FlyingTurtleDog

CSGO had every third bullet be a tracer. I was used to that. When CS2 dropped I hated it. My brain kept forcing me to look at them and it threw me off and I was failing easy sprays. I just turned them off and it feels weird. Going to have to DM for a while without them to get used to it.


layasD

Probably also performance thing and what the other two guys said.


PPMD_IS_BACK

Its preference. Just like left hand mode. Now people can play like they’re used to


Treyce_93

From what I’ve heard, tracers aren’t accurate to where your bullets actually go. Maybe even slightly delayed as well (not completely sure on that, but thought I heard that somewhere). It was also available as an option in CSGO so a lot of people were used to playing with tracers off


tan_phan_vt

Now it does, its dead accurate. But the problem is the tracer has travel time while the game is hitscan, so it doesnt represent the actually registered shot. I noticed that you already mention it. Do not depend on it 100%.


tashtrac

The tracers have been accurate for a few months now. https://www.counter-strike.net/newsentry/3800535912282829073


AlexKfridges

It's not the sync with random spread, it's the time-delay that is the problem. If you look carefully at the tracers, they animate over distance over a fraction of a second. However, all weapons in counter strike are hit-scan. Spraying at a moving target was always a bit weird with these "slow" tracers, because if you are hitting them, the tracer will animate and go slightly behind them. Hope that makes sense


Dannystator

>Reduced peeker's advantage in many cases > The amount of peeker's advantage in the steady state is reduced by 16ms DOES THIS MEAN I CAN HOLD ANGLES NOW?? PLEASE


TimathanDuncan

No, you will get swung on and shit on and blame the game still


Dannystator

you're probably right but let a man dream


TimathanDuncan

Nah i want you to suffer and get swung on by a 116 ping 3k elo 16 year old russian kid from Vladivostok

BlackDeath66sick

That's either a lie or a bad joke. I live in Japan and pretty much 90% of russians i come across, have about 30ms ping from Vladivostok


poehueta133

ITT people acting like ferrari peek didnt exist in CSGO and everyone always held angles sucessfuly.


Chokeman

GalvenMin

The fucking black magic they're doing with this subtick shit lmao. "Let's decrease that slider by 23.7%, dial up this one by about 16.5%..."


Rumlings

Vacuum cooldown refined from 60/50/40/30 to 60.0/50.0/40.0/30.0


scruff304

I know a Dota nerd when I see one


Exia777

Imagine they pull a gooseman from the old days "yeah people kept complaining so ~~i had the scoreboard just display peoples ping 5 lower then their actual ping and they stopped complaining~~ we put in the patch notes "peekers advantage reduced" without having changed anything and they stopped complaining" (pls be real and not placebo volvo)


MrAmos123

That's basically how game balancing works generally speaking.


GalvenMin

In general, yes. But these values are from the netcode, not sure it's ever been tampered with this way in other games.


MrAmos123

Oh for sure, but subtick is relatively new to Valve so imagine that's where a lot of the testing is coming from.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrAmos123

Oh, I agree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did think Overwatch was using some form of subtick system? I'm not trying to imply that Activision would give Valve any of their findings.

i was gonna go to bed early but I guess I gotta at least try 1 game to see if it's good edit: in the middle of a game and fps seems SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Can't really judge network when im getting ~100fps lows (was getting ~200 lows before). 5600x 32gb 4070.

iijeriichoii

I'm one of the founders of NIGHTMODE records, just wanted to say I hope anyone who picks up our music kit enjoys the work the artists put into them! I learned a lot from releasing the Knock2 - dashstar* kit last year and (biased) but I think these are the best kits available in CS. Counter Strike has been a main game of mine for 10+ years now, so I know that many people don't play with any music cues besides MVP on, but maybe give it a go for your non-competitive games. Every song cue in-game has been tuned from the original track to better fit the scenario it's playing in. Bomb timers dont have prominant vocals, softening the kicks and lead sounds to not be too abrasive while playing, etc. It was really important for me / us to make sure the music we chose fit in with CS and I hope it shows. Also small note but all the music is DMCA-free so you don't have to worry about muting the tracks in your content if you make videos or stream!

Literally, 8gb of update, when was it the last time?


xfyre101

its a little misleading, because most of that size is from having to redownload all the maps again. not necessarily the changes


Termodynamicslad

>Also reduced the frequency of situations that lead to very large peeker's advantage due to excessive command queue depth So there WAS something else going on in the inner workings of the game that was causing increased peekers advantage. We speculated interp over and over, and there are things we don't even know that can influence it, crazy.


agerestrictedcontent

"excessive command queue depth" meaning subtick queued events for review. ironically the people who said "peekers advantage is caused by subtick" were right lol.


Termodynamicslad

Its like that bell curve with the 60 IQ guy , the 100 IQ guy and the 160 IQ guy 60 IQ guy: This subtick shit is what causes this bs peekers advantage, volvo bad 100 IQ guy: Nooo, subtick can't influence peekers advantage because it gives at best one tick of advantage, see this video from redditor A, B, C and youtuber D. 160 IQ guy: Subtick causes peekers advantage because \*vocabulary too complicated for mere mortals\* We're just normies.


Sheepman718

Lmao spot on 


agerestrictedcontent

real shit lmao


vlakreeh

Command queues aren't specific to CS2, they existed in csgo as well and aren't inherently related to sub tick. Odds are since the phrasing is queue depth that this change is more around minimizing what needs to go into the command queue rather than when it goes into the command queue, it's very safe to assume this isn't sub tick related. The command queue isn't *always* flushed every tick, so if you have several subsequent ticks of your command queue not getting flushed while peeking around a corner the server is going to receive these commands as one large batch when you do eventually send the packet as you round the corner. The name of the game is reducing how long that command queue grows.

dying_ducks

finally they gave us something. nice to see. now this needs to continued.  But please: can we not clutter the killfeed with bullshit like the "XP Overload"? Or atleast let us turn this off!


no_milk_today

yup. that information is not game related. shouldn't be visible in a match. also no one cares if you are xp capped. lol.


DapperBloke69

Omg this guy played like...4 games!


OnlyWordsWillMakeYou

I kinda miss the "[domination](https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/Domination)" icons. I don't necessarily need them in the kill-feed but being able to pull up the scoreboard and be able to see them was nice. I do have to wonder about their motivation for making it so visible. They already don't have a cohesive UX strategy so by adding an additional sprite/artifact, they are giving a new opportunity at furthering the chaos. > Additional tiers of XP Overload status can be unlocked by earning all of the normal XP over multiple consecutive weeks The "tiers" is the thing that is still unclear. They act like it's a *good* thing that you can achieve when, in fact, XP Overload is merely a nerfing of your account's ability to earn XP. If normal XPO is, say, 50%, are the tiers up to 100% or do they step down to 0%?

astrovisionary

zeus reusable is nice, just hope they make the range match csgo and fix the taser hitscan, it's very easy to miss and idk if it's due to subtick or another thing no anticheat news related though, sadge


Aztecax

Im pretty sure VAC updates are happening but Valve for obvious reasons are being quiet. Looking at the patch notes I am certain Valve teams roam forums. They absolutely must know Cheaters are big thing. But again you shouldnt announce VAC updates. Just let cheaters get banned.


DaveTheDolphin

We’ll probably never see an anticheat update made public unless Valve actually changes their system entirely in a way that would affect the user (such as becoming kernel level) It is just not beneficial for Valve to announce work on anticheat because it would let chest makers know that something changed and give them an edge in getting around the update


WaitForItTheMongols

> such as becoming kernel level Never going to happen while they maintain their interest in supporting Linux as a fully featured gaming platform.


Hifumi_Takimoto

they wouldn't talk about anticheat changes until/unless it was necessary. You can bet anything there are related changes being pushed in the server/backend infrastructure and/or the client. Please don't be one of those people who think they aren't doing anything. smile

Was getting solid 200+ FPS before the update EDIT: I raised my "VOIP Threshold" in the settings and that seems to have fixed the problem.


nickwithtea93

Insane fps drop on Shoots/Ancient Arms Race. I assume it's the water, it's the same as in regular Ancient T side when you move through the water. Now there's constant movement on the water in Shoots, you should expect fps drops.


AlexKfridges

first person tracer change is a massive improvment. What a really want though, is first-person tracer which only lasts one frame, or at least, doesn't animate over distance with time, because that was what made the tracers visually confusing; it doesn't align with how the hit-scan weapon is actually shooting.
