de_cache modified in latest patch

Valve's latest update for CS:GO brings with it a number of changes for de_cache, as well as other miscellaneous stability fixes.

The most noticeable updates to the map include improved lighting around forklift at A site, increased visibility in the vent, and improved readability in B heaven.

Additionally, a new (and experimental) console variable has been introduced to help players diagnose problems with CPU cooling, and a bug that caused players to crash at the end of a round or after respawning has been addressed.

See below for the full patch notes:

[UI]

  • safezonex’s min value can now go as low as 0.28 with triple monitor setups and will allow a min value of 0.475 with double monitor setups.
  • Added convar sv_server_graphic which allows the server to specify a 360×60 px image file (must be 16k or smaller) in /csgo/ that will display in the spectator view. Supports PNG transparency. 
  • when the scoreboard is up, the radar will now switch to the square “overview” mode (disable with cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard, or in the Game Settings menu)

[MISC]

  • Fixed a crash on round end/restart or player spawn if a player was parented to another entity that was cleaned up.
  • Increased session communication buffer size to allow for up to 64-player sessions.
  • Added experimental cpu_frequency_monitoring convar to detect thermal throttling. If you have CS:GO performance problems on Windows, add “+cpu_frequency_monitoring 2″ to the CS:GO command line to see if CPU thermal throttling is an issue. If the displayed CPU frequency percentage drops below about 80-85% then you may have a problem with your CPU slowing down due to overheating. If it drops below 50-55% then you may have a serious problem. CPU overheating can be caused by overclocking, insufficient cooling, insufficient airflow, failing or dirty fans, or other causes. The CPU frequency results are displayed with cl_showfps or net_graph. For more detail see https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2715-YIPD-6873
  • Added engine_no_focus_sleep convar (default value 50 milliseconds), which controls the amount of time the engine sleeps per frame when the game is not in focus.
  • Fixed incorrect material property on some breakable doors and scaffold models

[SDK]

  • Added a few more location “Place Names” for use by level designers

[CACHE]

  • Added solidity to gates in b halls and ct garage to allow for nade creativity.
  • Improved readability in B heaven.
  • Improved readability by quad.
  • Improved lighting by forklift.
  • Improved prop-consistency by quad by adding more rigid edges.
  • Increased visibility in vent.
  • Fixed missing texture issues.
  • Fixed various lighting issues.
  • Fixed texture translation issues.
  • Added clipping to prevent an exploit boost.
  • Slightly increased vent lighting.
  • Minor but important change to shadowing in some rooms.

[INSERTION]

  • Added fences/fallen trees/cliffs around the map to reduce the ammount of invisible walls.
  • Added a small window above the backdoor in the barn.
  • Added a big rock next to “SeaRock”.
  • Minor gameplay tweaks.
  • Optimized the villa (thanks to Glitchvid).

Can someone explain me this? - safezonex’s min value can now go as low as 0.28 with triple monitor setups and will allow a min value of 0.475 with double monitor setups. Got dual monitor, but really don't have any idea what it means.

Why can't it reach the minimum value of 0.2 then? gyazo.com/8606a255fe11c4fdc115e2864e9f46.. Not that it would be good to play with probably. the 0.85 seems ok.

It's as hard as restoring the exact code prior to the new crosshair to the current build from their version control bar changing a 5 into a 6 (assuming they didn't change the underlying crosshair logic, which I don't see why they would). It's a process that shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes really. I don't know how they managed to break it (or why they actually replaced the old 5 and push it to 6 instead of adding the new crosshair to 6 in the first place). Valve really doesn't make sense sometimes.

Was thinking in the same dirrection. They surely got a backup from the old crosshair. why not make an crosshair 7 and just paste the codes? Just copy paste :)

This can be made better if they introduce a new convar or correlate this with cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist from the other dynamic style.

It is used to control the frame rate of the game when the window isn't focused (EG minimized, alt tabbed). The framerate while unfocused will be limited to something like -> 1000 / engine_no_focus_sleep EG engine_no_focus_sleep 100 = max 10 fps, 50 = max 20 fps etc... It's useful to decrease the load on your system while you're not actually interacting with the game.
