Swamp
Main changes:
– Performance boost in some areas (2-5%)
– Alligator and frog sounds are lower, less disturbing

A-site:
– Made brighter background near fence on A-long (CT side)
– Made one of the red plywood covers smaller on A-long (T side)
– Made the A-short room brighter and also made it easier for T to peek angles on entrance
– Closed gap in CT-spawn where players could boost and peek A-long

Middle:
– Added wood cover under CW so players can’t peek straight down to A-short entrance (T side)
– Removed a pallet where a player could jump and get stuck

B-site:
– Improved balance around bombsite
– Added clipping on crane
– Added clipping on streetlight
– Added plywood cover on bombsite
– Removed some of the railing around bombsite for easier movement
– Added electrical box, fence and plywood close to B-entrance for less hiding spots
– Added plywood in corner close to B-entrance for less hiding spots
– Added fence and plywood in water around sniper spot on B-long for easier readability (CT side)

Rumor has it:

- The relocation of shaders and sound configuration files inside of the game's VPK structure is a small hurdle for those used to peeking at them, but it isn't an insurmountable one with tools like GCFScape that rip them right open for viewing things
- Yes, if you've been around long enough to know that GCF was the predecessor to VPKs, in spite of its name, GCFScape is totally capable of handling modern-day VPKs too!
- Just an FYI, sound config files are in the main \csgo\pak01_dir.vpk VPK structure, while shader files can be found in the separate \platform\platform_pak01_dir.vpk VPK structure

- As such, today's GameTracking diff is a bit littered with the relocation of these files, but way further down you'll find a small helping of translations, which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- USP-S Cyrex's description got a quick grammatical fix, it previously said "It was been given discreet red highlights to give off a futuristic feel.". That's been fixed up tonight and now makes sense to read: "It has been given discreet red highlights to give off a futuristic feel."

- Size is close to 175 MB
