CS:GO update tweaks maps

10-6-2016 02:24

A new CS:GO update has shipped, build version 1.35.3.6, and it features a large amount of map fixes, with the biggest changes being a new stairway down from Cobblestone's B platform and a ladder on B site of Nuke.

A new CS:GO update has officially gone live and its purpose seems mostly to fix a wide range of bugs and issues, mostly in a few of the competitive maps.

Outside of map changes, one interesting fix is that living enemy players will now be financially compensated for the suicide or disconnect of a player to make up for lost round-end income in killing that player.

As for map changes, a number of pixel peeks on Mirage on the A site have been notably eliminated and collision models have been tweaked on many bombsites to allow for more accurate collision detection.

Two very substantial map changes include a stairwell that leads from B platform on Cobblestone down into the bombsite and a ladder on the B site of Nuke to allow players to climb up and defuse a bomb planted on top of the silo.

The full changelog for the update can be found below:

[MISC]

Replaced the penalty for the suicide or disconnection of a player. Instead of the elimination of round-end income, a living enemy player now receives compensation equal to the missed kill reward opportunity.
On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match.
Modified behavior of mp_endmatch_votenextmap_keepcurrent (default 1). When set to 0, the current map will be excluded from the end of match map vote panel.
Full player hitboxes are now used by "cl_weapon_debug_show_accuracy 2" so that the circle appears closer to the target in 3D space.
Fixed coin journal not being accessible from inventory UI.

[OSX/LINUX]

Made it so "Fullscreen" sets an exclusive fullscreen mode and "Windowed Fullscreen" sets a non-exclusive fullscreen mode. Exclusive fullscreen mode allows for potentially higher performance while making switching back to the desktop slower.

[SPECTATING]

Added the concommand spec_player_by_accountid that switches observer target to the player with SteamID64 passed as argument.
Added the convar spec_lock_to_accountid which, when set, will lock the observer target to the specified SteamID64 player. The lock can be set regardless of whether or not the player is currently connected.

[MAPS]

Cobblestone

Added stairs up to B site platform, giving CTs additional options for defending the site
Updated trees with more accurate collision model
Fixed rendering error on wall hole model used near bombsite A
Fixed various bugs (Thanks csgobugtracker.com contributors!)
Improved visibility from underpass to A site

Mirage

Fixed pixelwalk in CT spawn
Fixed some small see-through gaps in bombsite A
Fixed small see-through gap from Short to Mid
Fixed grenade collision on van in bombsite B
Van now plays proper surface sounds when walking on it
Stairs in palace and B apartments will now play correct surface sounds
Fixed potential rendering error on wall hole model used in CT sniper position
Fixed various bugs (Thanks csgobugtracker.com contributors!)

Cache

Minor bug fixes

Nuke

Added ladder to bombsite B target
Top of bombsite B target now opaque
Added short crate stack to CT outside
Misc clip fixes

Collision model update

Added more accurate collision model for bombsite models used in Mirage, Inferno, Cache.
Added more accurate collision model for barrels used in Overpass B site.

Nah it aint. I played it today and once the T's get control of the stairs, all hell breaks loose.

good job volvo

time to quit this game :D:D:D:D

Cobble update again

Major update @@

k den

yeah, let's just add a ladder to the B spot silo instead of removing the ability to plant of top them entirely... shaking my head :|

6 replies

after the meta of the map settles it will still be an CT sided map, the ability to plant on top of the radioactive rods gives the T little more chance of winning the round

2016-06-10 02:05

And they reduced the time to go from B to A. When they launched the new nuke they specifically made changes to the vents to make rotations slower, and now they made it easier to rotate again.

2016-06-10 04:16

this map is a complete mess, they added way too many new pathways, ladders, etc. old nuke was perfectly fine, thx for this trash cod map crybabies

2016-06-10 02:12

+1 at youur opinion fella

2016-06-10 02:31

+1 its too confusing for my small brain and 1.4 400 dpi sensitivity

2016-06-10 03:36

True. They ruin the map more and more.

Thank you, although it was mainly addressed to HLTV. But it was kind of you to post a picture

2016-06-10 03:58

2016-06-10 11:57

cl_crosshairgap "-2"; instead of -1 is doing it for me now for some strange reason

2016-06-10 12:06

Hey man, thanks for the reply!

2016-06-10 12:24

why stairs on b ( cobble )? Don't make sense

5 replies

gives the ct side a few more options to defend B, I quite like it.

2016-06-10 02:03

Cbble B site is too OP for T's... I totally agree with this update.

2016-06-10 02:08

So CTs dont have to stack 3-4 players on B and have to boost players onto platform? This seems like a pretty sensible update to me.

it will be more harder for cts to retake after plant cause so many angles to look at, nothing has changed in my opinion.

2016-06-10 02:45

thats like saying old nuke was t sided cause it was hard to retake. there wont be a retake if they just straight up get the kills. I think this will be too OP for cts, but we'll see how it works

2016-06-10 03:39

Before major...valve is on point

2016-06-10 01:58

2016-06-10 02:04

Very good changes. Not sure how the nuke change wasn't there from the beginning. And I still think it's iffy whether it should actually remain.

On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match ^Finaly

12 replies

Yeah tired for d2 all day

2016-06-10 02:21

Yea, it was a nightmare to play d2 on and on again. Maybe in the future they will exclude from the vote not only current map, but a few recent :) Fuck you, D2 kids!

2016-06-10 11:08

It will now be D2 > Mirage > D2 > Mirage > forever

2016-06-10 03:44

Doesn't matter Mirage best Map

2016-06-10 05:02

D2, Mirage >D2, D2, D2.

2016-06-10 05:48

This and the fucking ladder for b site in nuke is fantastic. Just those 2 things alone make for a good update.

2016-06-10 03:45

im just wondering why you would ever be playing in any valve servers other than maybe mm...why would you play valve dm or casual

2016-06-10 04:18

To imrpove private rank brah so that we can get them coins.

2016-06-10 05:15

do you find it fun? idk for me the coin has no value and casual/dm is so noob/boring

2016-06-10 05:23

Yeah,it is pretty fun sometimes.you can do whatever you want.you can do yolo rushes instead of watching your opponents back.

2016-06-10 05:42

Same reason why some people like doing achievements for games. I for one like leveling up and completing all of Valves Operations and Major Pick Ems. I like collecting all them coins.

2016-06-10 08:42

Different people have different reasons to play the same games.

2016-06-10 12:47

that's actually quite good update imo, for sure the best thing is stuff with suicide/disconnect money

Suicides shouldn't give money to the other team, nobody kills themselves on purpose just to make the enemy team receive less money... But I do agree with disconnect compensation.

I beg to differ.

2016-06-10 09:17

wowowowow

pls VAC, clear all hackers -.-

RIP dust2 DM FINALLY!!

will still be 50% d2 :)

2016-06-10 02:26

Still better than 95%

2016-06-10 10:41

10/10

2016-06-10 02:20

cbble

2016-06-10 02:23

cbble will get ct sided af and the ladder on nuke was pretty much essential

cbble still shit map LUL

2016-06-10 02:24

no more endless d2 in casual ahh

2016-06-10 02:35

who cares about casual , deathmatch is the problem

2016-06-10 10:40

Remove stairs and make a ladder on cobble.. EASY!

2016-06-10 02:38

the cooble stairs are perfect. makes holding b alot easier no need too stack 3-4 poeple on b anymore nuke ladder is good too but would be better if they would just not let them plant on top

2016-06-10 02:40

nice job, finally!

On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match. Valve DM servers just became irrelevant to even more of the community

2016-06-10 02:57

you're wrong.. now om DM servers.. 9/10 is DUST2...while there are more other maps people would like to practice.

2016-06-10 11:18

oh really? I don't really play valve dm, but If you want to practice a map surely DM is not the way to do it? mm/pugging/scrimming is the best way

2016-06-10 15:29

I am actually kind of happy with the cobble updates, for those who are reading down here & havent seen whats new, i made a few seconds video regarding the two "major" things! :) youtube.com/watch?v=aXoO1M9hBI0&feature=..

2016-06-10 03:23

honestly dude u have to speak much louder and more confident

2016-06-10 07:00

I usually speak louder in video, just that update got released at late night and I didn't want to wake up my younger brother or the rest of my family, I usually record videos at daytime, that's why I speak louder in other videos. :)

2016-06-11 17:52

Off-topic, but both danes and swedes has the same pronunciation of the letter J, but swedes are often converting this to english as well - 0:23 in your video you pronounce jump as "yump", try pronouncing it djump. I know you can't answer on behalf of all swedes, but why are you guys doing that?!?!?! Other than that, fine video :PpPPPpppP

2016-06-10 11:19

cl_weapon_debug_show_accuracy 2 wait what is this

At least Cbble will be balanced. I guess?

2016-06-10 04:02

Yup

2016-06-10 04:17

any thoughts on the hitbox updates?

2016-06-10 04:32

Rip having dust II deathmatch 500 times in a row lmao

2016-06-10 04:38

anything about cheating again. fuck volvo

2016-06-10 04:58

antisystems are fine, nobody plays mm anyways.

2016-06-10 06:17

Are you complete and utterly retarded? The majority of CS:GO players play matchmaking.

2016-06-10 10:09

/care about them nobody cheats in dmg

2016-06-10 11:28

The fact that you care or not, is irrelevant. People cheat in any rank, but the majority of cheaters eventually wind up in the higher ones.

2016-06-10 11:50

that's exactly why people don't play mm when they get to higher skill gap

2016-06-10 15:22

cobble fix is too op for ct snipers, now they will live there with fucking awp and only head visible..

2016-06-10 05:30

ez to counter, cause the t's can still get there fast and preaim, imo still more op for the t's because of the afterplant cover

2016-06-10 06:07

but the angle makes him also see only heads when not over-peeking. it looks like a good subtle change to me, it definitely helps the ct's but not too much.

2016-06-10 06:09

Its easy to counter for T. Just throw flash to sky and the CT will be blind. Not too op

2016-06-13 17:33

nice time for update rofl

2016-06-10 05:54

"On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match." FINALLY

2016-06-10 07:34

Nice changes

2016-06-10 07:35

not liking mirage b van change, all the nades go through the gap :/

2016-06-10 07:46

Very good update!

2016-06-10 08:43

So if I die in a MM match and I want to reatart the game before the next round comes in, the other team will be rewarded? Can someone clear me out on this?

2016-06-10 08:45

Your OWN team will be compensated.

2016-06-10 10:11

No, one enemy player will get because they had no opportunity to kill you, but only if you disconnect while beeing alive/suicide. But i have no idea how they handle the "missed kill reward opportunity". If they set it to 300$, or even 600$/900 if the enemy team had a mp/shotgun in play

2016-06-10 10:34

No, if you reconnect on the server while beeing dead, everything stays like before the update Only if you disconect while you were alive, one enemy player will get a compensation for not beeing able to get a kill on you (most likly 300$) Before this update, the player who reconnected while beeing alive, did not recieve any money at the end of the round

2016-06-10 10:24

2016-06-10 10:53

Somewhere have bug yet

2016-06-10 08:53

rip cbble

2016-06-10 09:13

Still 64 tick LUL, might as well be overwatch LUL

2016-06-10 09:16

Play esea

2016-06-10 10:10

Replaced the penalty for the suicide or disconnection of a player. Instead of the elimination of round-end income, a living enemy player now receives compensation equal to the missed kill reward opportunity lmao wtf, so if you get timed out your enemy gets money

2016-06-10 10:00

I'm so tired of all these updates. Why we played 1.6 almost 10 years without any updates and everybody was satisfied?

2016-06-10 10:03

8 replies

People were accustomed to the lack of updates and weren't sure in valves ability to update the game without fucking something up, I.e. Tactical shield or when they tried to fix scroll ducking.

2016-06-10 10:33

thats a different era bro

2016-06-10 11:04

there were map releases those count as updates just private sector did them.

2016-06-10 11:12

That is like saying that workshop maps are updates. Hell no.

2016-06-10 12:35

Third party downloadable content counts as updates? Stop doing crack-cocaine.

2016-06-10 19:42

wow mad

2016-06-10 19:43

It's alright m8. Count to 10

2016-06-10 19:44

Actually, there were quite a few updates to 1.6. Although in the years 2003-2008 there weren't any at all. counterstrike.wikia.com/wiki/Counter-Str..

2016-06-10 14:01

can someone explain to me that new rule about suicide and disconnection. I don't get it, maybe I'm retarded but that doesn't seem clear to me :3

2016-06-10 10:25

One enemy player will get a kill reward if a player suicides or disconnects while beeing alive. But no idea how big the "missed kill reward". It could be set to 300, or 600/900 if the enemy had an mp/shotgun in play

2016-06-10 10:39

what a cobble.

2016-06-10 10:31

So, Valve... Have you already fixed the console error bugs making the game unable to play? - Have you fixed CColorCorrectionSystem: Missing error? - Have you fixed Tried to look up command say as if it were a variable bug? - Have you fixed Missing Vgui material vgui/ errors? I hope so, cause it's a high time to have this done, ffs.

2016-06-10 11:00

can you tell me how any of those are an actual problem and not just "annoying"?

2016-06-10 11:01

Probably you didn't get any, if you ask so. For example, the first one can cause freezes and lags that makes you unable to even move. Missing model files and vgui also cause high drops of performance.

2016-06-10 11:13

you playing on custom server or with custom models? shit only happens sometimes when loading a map and then it goes away for me. if you're missing more models then you're playing on bad custom server probably

Please, man... Of course they are custom, and it doesn't matter. I feel like you're soon gonna give me brilliant advise, like "verify integrity of the game files" or something like this. Nope, it dosen't help and I'm not the only one who's having these problems.

2016-06-10 14:44

"Of course they are custom" then guess what, it's because the CUSTOM map developers haven't packed the CUSTOM assets into their CUSTOM maps. how can valve fix errors that a 3rd-party causes in their own maps? it's like saying google should create fake google results if you search something with zero results. "Your search - kjkfjsdkfjskdjfk393j9nodf - did not match any documents"? OMG BIG ERROR. it's the same shit in this case. or like saying a 404 error page should redirect you to a completely different and irrelevant page. if something doesn't exist in the bsp, valve can't do magic and make it come out of nowhere... use brain man

2016-06-10 15:19

I guess I got it wrong, sorry. I misunderstood and got "custom" as "standard" and "official". I play valve's MM and also on custom, public servers, it happens on both.

2016-06-10 17:02

Can you add some screenshots? Just a text is not enough

2016-06-10 11:05

maybe good. cobble is imo way to B sided. when u walk A as T there are 500 gay spots where enemy can hide with p90.

2016-06-10 11:11

Interesting timing with major qualifiers and tournaments in play currently. I assume that the pros at these events will feel the effect of these immediately. Could it perhaps affect their map choices in these ongoing tournaments such as ELEAGUE? Cobblestone stairs I can see having an impact.

2016-06-10 11:15

Stich/HLTV news posters, can you attach the snapshots of the tweaks that have happened in the update with the news itself ??

2016-06-10 11:22

LmAo

2016-06-10 13:36

Oh look! Another update that doesn't fix anything that has been wrong with this game for SO long! 1. Disappearing cursor in the server browser. If it doesn't disappear the CSGO style cursor gets stuck in one place. 2. The server browser is so old, outdated and clunky it's incredible. Well, nobody seems to give a fuck. 3. 64 TICK SERVERS. Are you FUCKING serious. 4. When you join a game opf deathmatch (Valve server) and both teams are full 5. FUCKING CANCEL BUTTON 6. If you Alt-Tab out of the game when loading for a DM, it crashes without a word 4/10 times

2016-06-10 13:49

7. Jumping animation or rather landing animation afterwards 8. Jumping accuracy 9. Actual public written ruleset 10. Power of pistols 11. UI issues, like missing radar or entire UI 12. Cheaters going rampage

2016-06-10 13:58

7. What is wrong with that? 8. Is a choice, not a bug. 9. there's a FAQ on the official forums. 10. Again a choice, not a bug. 11. True but no biggie, press escape and return to game to fix 12. VAC has nothing to do with regular updates.

2016-06-10 14:06

1. Never seen that/ 2. Old but perfectly functional. 3. Vast majority uses 60 hrz monotors 4. No they are not, only if you spectate first. 5. What? 6. Only when you have low RAM.

1. Happens to tons of people 2. Old but functional? Under this comment I will copy my post from reddit. 3. You know it has nothing to do with FPS right? 4. That happens to me a lot. And no, I did not spectate first. If the connecting takes a while and the server is almost full, someone takes your place since it is not reserved. 5. When you accidentally start connecting to a game (Wrong server, missclick, Weapons course) 6. 8 gigs is low RAM?

2016-06-10 14:05

The server browser is not only incredibly outdated and clunky but it also doesn't work as it should. There are many problems with it nobody seems to be working on. For example these: Why is it so hard to find online games in the "Internet" tab? From my experience, the tag system only works half of the time. For example if I want to find a pistol free for all deatmatch I cannot just search the name. I have to guess what tags might be included and even if I guess the right ones it only finds one third of the possible servers. Inconsistent refresh times, refreshing servers Another thing I don't understand. Let's say I have 20 servers saved in my favourites. The first time only 6 of them show up. I refresh. Now there are 14 of them. I refresh again, only 10 show up. I have to continue refreshing many times until all of my servers or the one I want to join appear. Another issue, why does it sometimes take ages to refresh the "Internet" tab and sometimes it is immediate? I don't understand why this is happening. Disappearing cursor bug This has been one of the most annoying bugs I have ever encountered in CS and it has been there since I bought it on launch. The only thing that fixes it is restarting CS which is annoying and takes some time. (No, I do not have an SSD because I can't spend thousands hundreds of dollars on my PC). Other small things Why do you have to refresh after adding a server? Why won't the server you add automaticly save itself? (If the game crashes it will disappear) What is the deal with all servers sometimes disappearing when you don't play for a long time? How limited is the "History" tab and why can't we adjust it? Anyways, this is what I have to say about the browser. Feel free to discuss and maybe bring up other things that are bad about the browser or add recommendations. This post had over 1400 upvotes which means yes, it is completely outdated.

2016-06-10 14:07

3. Yes it does. You respond to what happens on your screen, 60 hrz monitor is a bottle neck. 5&6. 8 GB ram or not, your pc must be slowed down big time. Crashing with alt-tabbing is memory related.

2016-06-10 14:09

As far as I know, the number of ticks tells you how many times the server checks on what happens in your game. Thanks to that, you miss much more shots than you should and also you have to be insanely skilled to bhop efficiently on 64 ticks servers. I am not talking about FPS and I don't think it has anything to do with it. EDIT: Alright, did my research, I'm an idiot. but that doesn't change the fact that there is a BIG reason to include 128 ticks

sure, tickrate =/= framerate. but your reaction is based on what comes through your screen, if you get your visual info in 60hrz, that is your hard limit. Framerate and monitor hrz are bottlenecks and Valve just looks at the hardware survey results, because it's all connected. Basically for 128 tick you want a monitor that is fast enough and you want very low pings or even lan conditions.

Also - The game crashes each time you fail (due to occupied slots etc.) to join a public server - you can't view the scoreboard until you switch resolution to other one and go back to the previous. You're right, man. There are tons of little and major things that requires fixing. This game is great, but it's also totally "unfriendly".
