#1 MAJOR CS2 update for 6/25/24 (The Real MVP) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

ValveMAPS

Community Maps
- Added community maps Thera and Mills to Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch map groups
- Added community maps Memento and Assembly to the Wingman map pool
- Added community map Pool Day to the Arms Race map pool

Nuke
- Fixed c4 stuck spots

Ancient
- Fixed c4 stuck spots, holes in the world, and non-solids causing problems

Vertigo
- Fixed c4 stuck spots and clipping

Anubis
- Fixes for grenade collision and clipping

UI
- Updated the MVP panel in all game modes
- Added all-new animated MVP panels to Premier matches
- Added several new MVP conditions and adjusted prior MVP rules

GAMEPLAY
- In Competitive Matchmaking, per-map skill groups are now revealed after you earn two wins on a map.

VIDEO SETTINGS
- Settings Recommendations
- Added a Settings Recommendation popup if your display's refresh rate is set below its maximum at startup. Using your display's highest refresh rate is generally recommended.
- Added a Settings Recommendation popup if NVIDIA G-Sync support is detected but not enabled at startup. Using G-Sync is generally recommended if your system supports it.
- Added a Settings Recommendation popup if NVIDIA G-Sync is enabled but not V-Sync and/or NVIDIA Reflex. It is generally recommended to enable all three settings together when they are available. Note that applying these settings will limit your frame rate to your display's refresh rate or slightly lower, which is usually the smoothest-looking and lowest input latency settings combination. See https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/418E-7A04-B0DA-9032 for technical details.
- Removed "Main Menu Background Scenery" and "Item Inspect Background Scenery" settings from the Video Settings page. These settings are still available on the Main Menu and in the Item Inspect screens respectively.
- The "Refresh Rate" setting now shows your display's current refresh rate in Windowed and Fullscreen Windowed modes.
- Removed the "Laptop Power Savings" setting which has never actually been configurable in CS2.
- Added a "Frame Pacing" section to the Advanced Video settings page.
- Added an "NVIDIA G-Sync" row to the Frame Pacing section which tells you whether or not G-Sync is active with your current display settings. This row may be hidden if you're using the Vulkan renderer or if you're not using an NVIDIA graphics card.
- Added "Maximum FPS In Game" and "Maximum FPS In Menus" sliders to the Frame Pacing section. These control the fps_max and fps_max_ui convars respectively.
- Increased the default "Maximum FPS In Menus" setting from 120 FPS to 200 FPS.
- The Advanced Video visual preview now uses the "In Game" maximum FPS instead of the "In Menus" maximum.

Rumor has it:

- Size is close to 5 GB (with Workshop Tools installed) - data capped users should take action NOW!

#1 Counter-Strike 2 update for 5/1/24 (5/2/24 UTC) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

ValveMISC
- Fixed a bug where the game would stop taking keyboard input during the end-of-match map vote.

#1 Counter-Strike 2 update for 4/30/24 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

ValveMISC
- Grenade kills no longer display the "in-air" killfeed icon.
- Fixed several cases where clicking on the buy menu or scoreboard would cause the game to stop taking keyboard input.
- Fixed too many usercommands being processed when skipping forward in demos. This reduces the skip time by as much as 80%.
- Added console output that may be helpful for advanced users to diagnose performance problems. When a very long frame occurs, a brief profile of the frame is printed. At the end of a match, a summary is printed.

Rumor has it:

- Caution for FACEIT players: after this update, having FACEIT's anti-cheat solution running will cause the game to crash
- The workaround is to exit it, but obviously if you wish to play on FACEIT's servers, you'll need to wait for them to update their anticheat

- Said console command if you wish to take a crack at diagnosing your own performance problems is: cl_frametime_summary_report_detailed

- Size is ~210 MB (with Workshop Tools installed)

MAPS
- Fixed a spot in Dust 2 above mid doors where grenades would fall through the world.
- Fixed a spot in Inferno where weapons could fall through the world.

Rumor has it:

- Size is ~650 MB (with Workshop Tools installed) - data capped users should be aware

#1 MAJOR TF2 update for 4/18/24 (Windows/Linux x64) in TF2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

Valve- Added 64-bit support for Windows/Linux client and server
- Should include performance improvements for most users
- Bugs can be reported here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues

- Fixed an exploit related to uploading invalid custom decals that would crash other clients

Rumor has it:

- avast!, AVG, and Bitdefender users should all be aware that false positives are likely to be triggered with the x64 .exes included as part of today's update (including vrad.exe and shadercompile.exe)
- Instructions on reporting affected files as false positives can be found here

- As mentioned above, the addition of 64-bit support is exclusive to Windows and Linux, and the x86-64/AMD64 architecture
- The status quo of TF2 being unplayable for macOS users on Intel Macs running macOS Catalina (10.15) or later, and Macs with Apple Silicon still remains true after this update. There is no word on whether an AMD64 and/or ARM64 port will occur for Mac users, but given inaction up to now plus Counter-Strike 2's abandonment of the Mac, it appears unlikely

- Additionally, a round of updated localization files have snuck in, made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~315 MB - data capped users should be aware

SMOKE
