#1 CS:GO update for 2/1/22 (2/2/22 UTC, 1.38.1.6) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ GAMEPLAY ]
– In Short Competitive Matches, increased the initial round loss streak to 2 to reduce the economic impact of pistol rounds.

[ STORE ]
– Added The Boardroom Sticker Capsule, now available for purchase in-game.

[ MISC ]
– Fixed a player spawn bug in competitive mode.
– cl_showpos is now cheat protected (thanks Spunj!).

[ STEAM INPUT / CONTROLLER ]
– Various default binding changes for controllers only.
– Flick stick initial turning rate modulated by stick throw.
– Fixed crouching when exiting menu using controller B button.
– Ramp in aim over time immediately after closing a radial menu, unless the stick is deadzoned.
– FIX: Up/Down movement in spectator free cam supports analog triggers.

[ UI ]
– Radial menus (+quickinv/+quickgrenades) allow selection of molotovs/incendiary grenades picked up from other teams.
– +quickgrenade radial mimics +slot4 when tapped.
– Restored “Reset” button on Options/Controller Screen.
– Added zoom sensitivity settings for gyro, touchpad, and stick, separate from mouse.
– Various Button Glyph fixes (ongoing).

[ MAPS ]
Vertigo:
– Fixed molotov/incendiary grenades going through the wall and floor in mid.

Shoots:
– Miscellaneous fixes.

Rumor has it:

- CS:GO Stash has put up the contents of The Boardroom Sticker Capsule here. If there's something that catches your eye, inspection and Steam Community Market links are close by too

- Use of radio commands intended for bots is no longer possible according to several reports, which means an end to climaxing through spamming "deathcry" in console or through a bound key
- However if you're a community server operator who didn't mind their players "spraying all over the server", "sv_playerradio_use_allowlist" has been added in and can be set to 0 to restore the old behavior if really passionate "death cries" are desired

- This update is mostly what-you-see-above-is-what-you-get. With that said, there's also a decently sized set of new and updated translations, which are made possible with the help of contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is close to 60 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 1/20/22 (1/21/22 UTC, 1.38.1.5) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ THE DREAMS & NIGHTMARES CASE ]
– Introducing the Dreams & Nightmares Case featuring the winning 17 community-designed weapon finishes.

[ MISC ]
– Updated colors of Operation Riptide Diamond Coin model.

[ MAPS ]
Insertion 2
– Replaced weird tree boost spot next to orange building(next to dentist) with an easier more exposed boost.
– Moved spawnpoints at House around a bit and turned off collision on the mailboxes there, to prevent team spawn blocking.
– Cleaned up mid a bit by removing a fence and a blue barrel.
– Blocked off a sightline from on top of the meat/egg shelf into backroom toilet in Market.
– Tweaked size of trigger for the train station automated door so its possible to go sneak past it through the glass windows.
– Fixed so the auto shotgun can break the cubicles in office.
– Minor graphical issues fixed.

Rumor has it:

- Dreams & Nightmares Case contents can be viewed over at CS:GO Stash, including inspection links if you'd like to have a look at a weapon in-game
- One weapon in Dreams & Nightmares that will look a little different for users under Steam China/Perfect World influence in mainland China is the Five-SeveN Scrawl. China's government is known to hate gore and gore-like things such as depictions of skulls, however a bit of skin and a couple of bandages ought to be a-okay

- This is the new Diamond coin for Operation Riptide, which some may have confused for the Silver coin, particularly at smaller sizes displayed on leaderboards. Here's what it used to look like
- Said smaller sizes for comparison: old Diamond, new Diamond, unchanged Silver

- Beyond that, this update is mostly a WYSIWYG one since we've already known the winners of Dreams & Nightmares for some time now, but that won't stop me from mentioning that there's been a good chunk of new and updated translations of strings added in the last little while, which are made possible with the help of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~165 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 1/17/22 (1/18/22 UTC, 1.38.1.4) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[GENERAL]
– Fixed Hammer crash on startup when not logged into Steam.
– Fixed input delay after closing radial menu.

[STEAM INPUT]
– FlickStick mode is now enabled in Options > Controller, as opposed to the SteamInput Configurator. Bind your Right Stick (or preferred aiming stick) to “Joystick Camera” in the configurator.
– Fixed SteamInput ActionSet being set to “MenuControls” when re-focusing on window.
– Refinements to FlickStick behavior.

[UI]
– Tooltips to help clarify console controller settings.
– Various fixes to sliders.

[LINUX]
– Added experimental Vulkan support. Add -vulkan to your command line to enable Vulkan.

Rumor has it:

- Not quite sure why Valve felt the need to mention Vulkan again considering it was added in the previous update and not this one

- If you have any last words for PGL Stockholm 2021 content before it goes off sale-oop, it's already too late.

- The introductory Weapons Course map (training1) was also updated

- Otherwise, the only other significant thing is new and updated translations, made possible with the help of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~30 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 12/10/21 (12/11/21 UTC, 1.38.1.2) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[MISC]
– Integrated latest Steamworks SDK.
– Adjusted Flashbang Dance Music Kit MVP anthem.
– Fixed an exploit.
– Various adjustments to controller support.

[MAPS]
County
– Fixed issue where players would spawn outside of playable area on warmup
– Fixed floating barrel
– Added clip brushes to prevent players from getting stuck while jumping

Basalt
– Simplified the path from T spawn to Green House
– Fixed some clipping issues (thanks Fnugz and BARS)
– Removed hurt trigger from the out of bounds area to allow for a relaxing swim
– Fixed missing sides on wood beams on A site
– Updated guest book
– Fixed some of the Icelandic texts (thanks mckakali)

Rumor has it:

- There are scattered reports of macOS and Linux users being unable to start the game after this update, possibly due to undocumented changes mentioned below. If you're experiencing this, please leave a comment below and make mention of whether you see any specific error messages (and what they are if so) or if you don't at all
- This has been fixed in update #2, but at the current cost of breaking textures on player models

- Chat wheels, if you have them set up, have a new look, and new behavior to match. Here's what they looked like before this update, and here is what they look like now
- One of the main behavior changes you'll notice is that they now have animations. Additionally, chat wheels can now double as a ping key if you release your key/button quickly; danger ("!") pings also work the same way if you do that twice in quick succession. See a quick clip of them in action here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHdf1b-fi_w

- For those of you that don't like chat wheels doubling as pings if released quickly, there currently isn't a way to switch that new behavior off

- Redesigned chat wheels aren't the only new circular thing you'll see. Also contained in this update are 3 new radial menus that share a similar look & animations, which you can bind to a key through the console to try out:
- "+quickbuyradial", plus a weapon category (pistols, heavyweapons, smgs, rifles, gear, grenades), brings up a quick-buy menu:

https://i.imgur.com/6Bd0vep.png

- "+quickgearradial" brings up a quick-switch menu for knives and the Zeus x27:

https://i.imgur.com/LDKqE68.png

- and "+quickgrenaderadial" brings up a quick-switch menu for equipped grenades:

https://i.imgur.com/EYPAY1S.png

- A few stray under-the-hood engine strings indicative of a rendering system selector hint that support for Vulkan could arrive sooner than later
- This would most likely be through the use of DXVK as was the case with Portal 2 when it had Vulkan support stapled on this way near the start of this year; and it appears that this will be the case again in CS:GO with the addition of a new .so library, "libdxvk_d3d9.so", for users running Linux
- Further evidence is in the form of a -vulkan launch option, which at the moment causes the game to silently crash to desktop when invoked (at least on Windows; if you're a Linux gamer, try it and see what happens)
- If you check on the window title of the game (through methods such as taskbar thumbnails/Aero Peek, Alt-Tab/Win-Tab, or Task Manager), you'll also see one of those three strings ("Direct3D 9", "OpenGL", "Vulkan") beside it for whichever rendering system the game is currently using (thanks to Killa on the SteamDB Discord instance for pointing this one out)

- Here's a peek at the controller-related additions/tweaks mentioned above (cough Steam Deck is coming, after all)

- Missions for the remaining weeks of Operation Riptide, those being weeks 13, 14, 15, and 16, have been configured, including strings, assorted bot logic, and the game's item schema

- Not to be outdone by all of the above, this update has also got localization file updates containing new and updated translations. These are made possible with the help of dedicated Translators Like You - Thank You

- Added nobuild triggers to spawn doors
- Major reforestation initiative funded

Rumor has it:

- A bug with Taunt: The Shooter's Stake where Sniper wouldn't say "'Ere ya go" was also fixed. The cause? A missing ".mp3" extension in a script file for workshop taunts

- Tournament medal additions are as follows:

- Australian Hightower Highjinx 2022 (Royalty, Participant, Donor, Helper)
- TF2Maps Charitable Heart 2021

#1 TF2 update for 12/3/21 (12/4/21 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

Valve- Updated the Festive Frames to add missing styles that don't hide the hat
- Fixed backpack image for the Winter 2021 Cosmetic Key
- Renamed Smissmas Swirl Unusual effect to Spiraling Lights
- Updated Polar Forecast, Spiraling Lights, and Twisting Lights Unusual effects

- Fixed a clipping exploit that allowed players to stand above BLU's first spawn
- Fixed a rendering priority issue with a respawn visualizer in BLU's first spawn
- Updated pl_coal_event
- Fixed a clipping issue with a window
- Fixed a displacement

Rumor has it:

- For greater clarity, "Smissmas Swirl" is the unusual hat effect that was renamed to Spiraling Lights, almost certainly to avoid confusion with the similarly named "Smissmas Swirls" unusual taunt effect

- /u/_pont, the creator of both the Spiraling Lights/Twisting Lights hat effects, notes that this update fixes both effects failing to follow moving players correctly

- One very small bonus included in this update is the inclusion of exactly one additional string translated into German. Even though that's the extent of tonight's localization file update, it was still made possible with the help of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is close to 60 MB

#4 TF2 update for 10/28/21 in TF2 General Discussion

Sorry it's taken so long to get RHI going, literally right after I came back from the toilet this update had already waltzed out the door, and then Marci in Dota 2 was about to probably literally kick some doors down. Marci's splash ad was a bit of a mini-fiasco holding things up because not only did my first attempt to slap it on my YouTube channel for posterity suffer from dropped frames (which made HandBrake eat the audio from them to compensate), only after did I get attempt #2 up did Valve realize they made a string typo. I was tempted to not fix it because my poor 3570K had been through enough already at that point but I figured I might as well do the effort now instead of later.

In any case, should be pretty much caught up now. For the most part it's one of those WYSIWYG sorts of light updates when you go have a look at the GameTracking diff for this one.
