ValveMISC
- Increased jump tolerance for sliding along a surface to fix certain jumps like in the corner outside in cs_office.
- Fixed a crash in page file usage when Vulkan initialization fails and the game falls back to DX11.

ValveJUMPING
- Improved jump height consistency to be within 0.015625 of a unit regardless of distance from the map origin at coordinate (0,0,0).
- Previously, in both CS:GO and CS2, jump height could vary by up to 0.03125 of a unit depending on the distance from the map origin.
- Improved consistency of successfully landing on surfaces very close to the maximum height of a jump.
- Jump height is still affected by stamina; when using cl_showpos 2, stamina at takeoff is reported and output is color coded based on possible jump height.
- Fixed a bug with cl_showpos display sometimes showing incorrect jump height when jumping from sloped surfaces.
- Fixed some cases where the client would be pulled back down during a jump because the server disagreed that the jump had taken place.
MISC
- Adjusted weapon pickup logic while near the C4, prioritizing defusing over accidental weapon pick-up.
- Enemies will now consistently play a flinch animation on the closest hit when the bullet goes through two hitboxes of equal priority (e.g. when both right and left legs get hit).
- HE grenade explosions within smoke now clear the accumulated smoke screen effect on players inside that smoke within range of the HE grenade explosion.
- Stability improvements.
MAPS
Dust II
- Fixed a gap in geometry.
Rumor has it:
- Several older previous version branches from as old as 1.39.9.9 from March have been removed by Valve tonight. A couple of newer previous version branches have been put up in their place, including "1.40.3.7" (from the 10/15/24 update), "1.40.4.2" (from the 10/24/24 update), and "1.40.4.3" which is this update tonight
- The "1.40.3.0" branch from the 9/10/24 update also remains available for use
- If you were using any of the previous version branches which have been deleted, the Steam client will automatically return you to the default public branch with the latest version of the game. If you wish and/or need to use a previous version branch, you can select one from the Betas tab in the game's properties through your Steam library

Furthermore, if network jitter exceeds a threshold where gameplay is affected, the packets are counted as misdelivered even if they are not dropped and arrive in order

Practice matches and matches started with the "map" command will now run in engine loopback mode to match the CS:GO offline default. Engine loopback bypasses most networking code for the host, resulting in one less tick of latency for the local player. Engine loopback can be disabled by appending "loopback=0" to the map command-line (e.g. "map de_dust2 loopback=0").
