New CS:GO update released

13-12-2013 12:54

Valve released a minor update for CS:GO last night, fixing a number of glitches and improving text readability in the game.

In the latest version of the weekly CS:GO update, labelled 1.31.5.0, Valve has opted to introduce unique colours for the location, "team" and "say" text in an effort to improve chat readibility.

The exploits in custom maps which allowed non-whitelisted server commands have now been fixed, just like the glitch concerning grenades making continuous noise when thrown into narrow spaces.

Below you can find the complete changelog:

[UI]

To improve chat readability, chat text colors have been updated to make the team, location and "say" text all use unique colors.

[COMMUNITY]

Fixed exploits where custom maps could run non-whitelisted server commands.
Added functions for VScript to ask gamerules what game mode and type the current match is set to.

[MISC]

Fixed an exploit where player's could print chat text on behalf of the console.
Fixed grenades making continuous noise when thrown into narrow spaces.

nice valve

Yea, little bugfixes which dont do big effect on game. imo news should be about something big update :)

Oh so all the small things that affect gameplay shouldn't? Or did you just completely ignore the bugfix that made it impossible to hear things? Where should they be posted? Nowhere because it's not "deagle has been buffed by 9% damage"? Jesus christ, just go away. It's a CS website covering CS related things and they post a news article about a update to CS and you don't think it should be posted because it's not a major update.

It tells you there is an update in steam, and you can read those notes there, i doubt anyone that cares about small changes like these arent reading it there.

when will they fix the deagle

2013-12-13 13:28

5 replies

Why use deagle when P250 and Five-Seven are OP? I never liked deagle, not even in 1.6, USP was much better. Only advantage is the one shot HS, but even then p250's firerate compensates. IMHO: Deagle is just fine as it is.

2013-12-13 13:34

3 replies

The thing is in source you could win eco rounds easy with deagle and some aim. Ofcourse you can win ecos in GO to, but everyone miss the deagle, the deagle has always been the pistol gun..

2013-12-13 15:02

2 replies

You can still pretty much use it. You just need to adapt. You can't spam the shit out of it like in source and expect to land 5hs (you can still spam it and kill someone, but it is less effective - just do it if you fail first shot and in close range). I can still do decos and win the round. I find it more useful on ct side but it can work on T side too, it's just more difficult.

play with proper volume.

2013-12-13 15:07

5 replies

I think that some sounds can be damaging to your ears because you need volume high enough to hear footsteps/other things. Awp is too loud for me if i want to be able to hear footsteps comfortably. You know what i mean? I personally think that the Awp is too loud in the game when you are using it. Not nearly as bad as the Negev though.

2013-12-13 15:41

4 replies

the problem isn't on the game sound but your headphone's volume. you shouldn't be getting gaming headphone and get a studio closed headphone instead like me. not only it sounded cleaner for footstep, it also provides very good isolation.. This is why in ear phone is invented, to provide isolation and its favoured on the go..

2013-12-13 16:07

3 replies

Yeah well i was thinking it's probably my headset...but i don't wanna spend tons of cash on a studio headset...i'd rather valve just reduce some weapon shot sounds. I mean whats the point having them too loud anyway? They can reduce the noise in close quarters and just have it the same, so you can still hear the weapon shots from a distance. But yeah...there is some background noise where i play. That's most definitely the cause :( Do you know whats the best noise cancelling headset to buy?

2013-12-13 16:10

2 replies

Superlux HD669 cost you $30, that's $30 less than Siberia and $100 less than Megalodon while $150 less than Tiamat for better build quality(less comfort though)and clearner footstep. Gaming stuff's marketting cost is so high that they need to actually double or tripple the cost of the stuff's production cost

2013-12-13 16:17

1 reply

Are they noise cancelling? I have quite a lot of ambient background noise..i have siberia V2 btw Ah, i see. I was wondering why that superlux is suspiciously cheap :P

2013-12-13 16:22

its a machine gun. it's supposed to be loud. It's like saying nerf the AWP, it one shots me, i hate being one-shot.

2013-12-13 17:28

3 replies

Other machine gun isn't that loud. And it's nothing to do with nerfing a gun, that changes game balance. This is just to be easier on the ears.

2013-12-13 17:31

2 replies

being loud DOES change game balance. As you said, NOISE DISTURBANCE.

2013-12-13 17:42

1 reply

You'd still be able to hear it, but it wouldn't need to be defeaning. Therefore it would maintain it's balance. The only thing that would change the balance would be adding a silencer to a weapon. The term "noise disturbance" was just a joke, to highlight how unnecessary these features/bugs are for me.

I remember they reduced it recently, it never was removed though.

2013-12-13 17:33

Perhaps I got mixed up with the patch a couple of months ago relating to removing the blurry awp scope lines whilst moving. Regardless, it was on my end, I somehow managed to have everything set to Very High in my video settings, which for some reason makes the awp scope insanely blurry. Problem s0lved.

Would love to work with Valve on catching those cheaters. I would go so far to say that catching 20-40 cheaters each day would be an easy task. Map understanding, natural movement understanding, sound and position understanding is of course needed to spot the cheater. Even better, Valve could make a system that would analyze patterns in the game play. Much like in poker, where strange play would flag the player. Getting flagged more often than what is considered to be caused by luck, would make for a ban.
