CS:GO update fixes smoke glitch

13-9-2013 13:33

Valve have released a new update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, fixing the smoke issue that has plagued the game just in time for DreamHack Bucharest.

This week's update doesn't alter many things when it comes to gameplay, instead focusing on minor adjustments and various smaller fixes, for example for two hud related bugs.

Most importantly Valve have now addressed the glitch that allowed people to see opponents on their radar through thick smokes, and also limited the amount of smoke grenades to one per round for each player.

Release Notes for 9/12/2013

[CONTRACTS]

- Added the Arms Deal Contract, allowing players to exchange items from the Arms Deal case.
-- Use the Arms Deal Contract to exchange 10 of your Arms Deal Collection items of identical quality for a single Arms Deal Collection item of a quality one tier higher. Note: Knives are not part of collections.

[ARMS DEAL]

- It is now possible to use Name Tags on stock/default items.

[UI]

- Clan tags are now displayed in the lobby.

[GAMEPLAY]

- Players can now only purchase 1 smoke grenade per round.
- Synchronized M4A1 and M4A4 reload completion event with visual magazine insertion and sound effect.
- Improved some bad cases of player radar visibility through smoke volumes.
- Enemy target IDs now only appear when the crosshair is over a target player's hitboxes instead of their overall bounding box.
- Looking at a weapon in-game (default F) no longer interrupts attaching or detaching silencers.

[MISC]

- The kill panel now correctly displays item rarity and owner.
- Kill panel damage given and received stats no longer add damage from before a player took over a bot.
- Fixed weapon inventory hud flashing when it didn't find the selected weapon in edge cases where you just threw a grenade.
- Fixed hud inventory not refreshing properly in some cases when picking up a flashbang.
- Fixed a bug that reported "hltv_changed_target" as an unused event in the console.
- Fixed weapon icons appearing dark for some Mac versions.
- When watching friends games on official servers, GOTV information is now requested asynchronously from matchmaking servers.
- CS:GO inventory items in Steam Community profiles now list most recently acquired items first.
- Improved CS:GO matchmaking servers stability.
- Fixed context menu popping up over the client info panel in the lobby.
- Added a cheat protected convar named "cl_draw_only_deathnotices" that turns off most hud except for death notices (for movie makers).

- Players can now only purchase 1 smoke grenade per round. sad, no more wins for ELTZ :(

fix fps pls

Commence whining in 5...4...3...

Honestly a great update, buying 1 smoke a round is huge now.

2013-09-13 13:39

Nice update!

2013-09-13 13:42

Well.. sad that those things get fixed over 1 year after release...

Since you have nothing else to whine about in this update, u just start to whine about it being late. wtf is wrong with you - its not "sad" that it took over a year. valve literally spit out updates multiple times a months ever since the release. also some really good ones.

those things could have needed fixing in BETA ...cuz that's what a BETA is for. Fixing serious issues. Yeah..well...so glad Valve HAS to spit out update after update to fix those things. Congratz.

I bet if cs go became 1.6 u would find other things to nag about. I understand that valve took a long time to do such fixes but u should be glad they did eventually.

He's a CSP fan, what do you expect? All he can do is whine since the beginning.

well if the update was completely shit i would've understand his frustration but this is utter nagging..

2013-09-13 15:39

Did it 100% fix it? I thought it only lost some range on it but it's not completely fixed.

yea... 0.5% focused on gameplay stuff, 95.5% focused on crap retarted stuff regarding arms deal and shit.

2013-09-13 13:49

yep because 95.5% + 0.5 % = 100%

2013-09-13 14:07

lol

2013-09-13 14:10

doesn't change the fact that he's right

win

2013-09-13 18:19

like you didn't focus on math :(

2013-09-13 14:25

2013-09-13 14:29

The next 4% on HUD i suppose.

2013-09-13 14:50

2013-09-13 17:55

no chicken update ? sad :/

2013-09-13 13:45

they will have armor added soon, so they will be harder to kill. You can also wire your chicken with a bomb and let it chase opponents, you will be able to see where they go and if they kill the chicken they go boom.

2013-09-13 14:58

cool. or Valve may add new weapon like hex in Dota or Heretic and u will be able to change enemy to small chiken and one shot it. :D

2013-09-13 16:10

next valve update, buy dagon lvl 5 for 7500$

2013-09-13 16:50

chickens shouldn't spawn once you kill them i mean thats retarded

2013-09-13 13:47

- Improved CS:GO matchmaking servers stability. hehehe

They troll.

Yeah, right..

2013-09-13 13:52

- Still 64 tick GG

2013-09-13 14:51

There is no connection between rates and stability. They probably have fixed "timed out" issue.

2013-09-13 15:33

fuck valve fix chickens hitbox!

2013-09-13 13:48

Good update but where the f* are movement, aimpunch, tagging changes?! 1 month after Arms Deal update and still no really important changes.

m4a1 will stay with with just 60 rounds total? i thought i saw talk of this being a bug when it first came out. confirm/deny?

It appeared that the bug was other way around, it was meant to be 20+40 :/

2013-09-13 13:54

The old 20/90 was a buy menu bug, it was always intended by Valve to have 20/40 ammo. Valve fixed that bug so the buy menu shows 20/40.

2013-09-13 21:27

"- Added a cheat protected convar named "cl_draw_only_deathnotices" that turns off most hud except for death notices (for movie makers)." I like that they think about moviemakers :)

2013-09-13 13:53

Update for moviemakers :D

WOW DE_TUSCAN FINALLY! wait wat

2013-09-13 14:11

valve + tuscan? what a u talking about?

2013-09-13 14:24

yes because valve is making tuscan....

2013-09-13 16:39

Valve has nothing to do with de_tuscan...

2013-09-13 17:19

they should have something to do with it,it would improve the competition aspect in their game

2013-09-13 21:39

That doesn't change the fact that brute (the person that originally created de_tuscan) is working on it, whether it gets released is any ones guess. I would rather he finished his version, than have valve make a dumbed down version ala de_mirage. That being said he needs the hurry the F up, the thing was supposed to be released 6+ months ago...

2013-09-13 21:48

Improved CS:GO matchmaking servers stability. Amazing :)

2013-09-13 13:58

They just troll

2013-09-13 17:52

overall good update :) the "moviemaker" command is a really nice touch.

2013-09-13 14:02

Honestly I get why its dissapointing they arent fully focused on fixing what we want them to fix, but Arms Deal is the best thing that has ever happened to any Counter-Strike game.

ye cause it brings attention of many casual players and that is important - any casual player may be professional if 1000 out of 40000 turn out into more serious cs and 500 of them can make it to semi pro 500/5=100 teams. but that is impossible so lets say a 10% will turn into actual teams . 10 semi pro teams from casual players is more than fine for me boyz! cheers

2013-09-13 14:28

That too, it also generates money to improve the game and the tournaments :)

"cl_draw_only_deathnotices" that turns off most hud except for death notices (for movie makers). OH FUCK YES

2013-09-13 14:04

Enemy target IDs now only appear when the crosshair is over a target player's hitboxes instead of their overall bounding box. Think this is Good, Sometimes the named poped up at some tiny cracks, even though you didn't spot the opponent clearly.

2013-09-13 14:16

yes,this was a fucking good update actually,people dont comprehend how OP was sitting with the crosshair behind a smoke and shooting people because of radar tracking lol

2013-09-13 21:40

n11

CS:GO [update] fixes smoke glitch

2013-09-13 14:32

128 ticks pls

2013-09-13 14:33

- Implemented WorkShop maps on Match Making. - 128 tickrate servers on Match Making. - Solved fps drops in some computers. - CS:GO is now better optimized and created possibility of 'Very Low' textures and models for low performance computers. - Improved CS:GO TV to show more reliable and stable fps for spectators. Nah.. Just kidding

2013-09-13 14:37

Did they fix the WEAPON ICONS in spectator mode? I mean, it would be useful to know who has m4a1/m4a4 or usp/p2000 by looking at health bars.

2013-09-13 14:39

2013-09-13 14:43

Nope, still the same.

- Improved CS:GO matchmaking servers stability. Lie. I get lag every min on mm servers.

Get more bullet into the USP 12/96 and M4A1 30/90 like 1.6 thanks !!!! And fix the hitbox...

2013-09-13 15:04

that m4a1 would be absolutely DOMINATE with 30/90... it is still stronger than m4a4 IMO as it stands.

2013-09-13 17:22

True. But they can give 30 bullets to m4a1 and reduce AK47's price to 2500$. I think that might be good for both sides. Or they should add more bullets to usp and m4a1-s. 20/80 and 12/60

2013-09-13 19:14

I am OK with the reserve bullet idea. AK-47 is already strong and cheap enough (economy is already easier to manage on T side). The m4a1 is perfectly balanced imo at 20 bullets but could use a bigger reserve. I for one am ok with how it is balanced versus the AK, but find it a much better weapon than the m4a4 in almost every situation. (the exception would be being a designated small site player)

2013-09-13 19:18

Smooth

2013-09-13 15:05

When I read the title, I just knew it was posted by lurppis. no crafting bullshit, only focus on things that matter for e-sports. Love it

To all the retards, do you really think they would change any huge gameplay features right before a big tournament like DH B? next week we might see some of the fixes we have been waiting for.

like they even know what dh is hahahah theyve already done bigger updates before tournaments

2013-09-13 15:11

They can still use previous version to play. It will be nice to test them now, becasue it takes more than 1 month to tweak this f* movement.

2013-09-13 17:12

They added the silencer right before the ESEA Finals

2013-09-13 17:39

great update for moviemakers

2013-09-13 15:07

2013-09-13 15:23

Nice update, but i ask you this fellow Cs:go players, Is there anyone out there but me that would like them to add a vote in matchmaking matches that would allow a match to go to overtime in the event of a draw? They could make it so 10 votes are required, but i would like the option to exist nevertheless.

nice idea!

2013-09-13 16:03

It should be there from the beginning. Btw. good idea.

2013-09-13 17:13

this is actully good update, people complano about everthing evertim, even if fly on sea HAHA they need fix movement and shooter, but else, good update really
