Beta update tackles jumping inacc.

24-9-2016 04:31

A new beta branch of CS:GO, version 1.35.5.0rc, addresses jumping accuracy rates across all weapons.

One contentious issue which has existed in CS:GO for a long time has been the question of jumping accuracy, with some weapons such as the SSG 08, various pistols, and shotguns also offering up seemingly easy kills against opponents while mid-jump.

After addressing critical and competitive-gameplay bugs related to hitboxes and Smoke greandes, Valve have now turned their attention to this issue and detailed a new system which calculates jumping accuracy that is tied to mid-air velocity.

According to Valve, the only way to maximise accuracy while in air is to fire at the apex of a jump, meaning that the concept is now more tied to precision-based timing.

The changelog for CS:GO beta version 1.35.5.0rc is:

[AIR INACCURACY]

Changed the way accuracy is calculated while a player is in the air. For details visit: http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/air-time/

To test the changes yourself, you need to head over to your Steam library, go to CS:GO Properties, switch to the Betas tab and choose the "1.35.5.0rc -" option.

> Now, in order to maximize accuracy while jumping, a shot will have to be fired at the highest point of the jump (when you are ‘stationary’ mid-air). Accuracy will suffer if a player fires too early or too late, and is always worse than when standing still on the ground. So, you still can do air-shots easily?

blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2016/0.. check the date. people say it was the new crouch update that created the bug. u can see they update it pre BETA release. so when the BETA was released for buplic test then the bug must have been there or else the explanation is for the bug is wrong?

2016-09-24 11:25

2 replies

False, they pushed a fix onto the live update without having it on beta, wich caused the double-jump bug. I played both beta versions prior to the patch and it wasnt there, i wouldve notice.

1 reply

All weapons. But, they kept jump scouting as a feature but added an extra element of skill in that you are only full accurate while at the apex of the jump. Previously, you are quite accurate with the scout when you hit the apex and during the falling down motion as evident in the graph.

2016-09-24 05:51

I tried it and don't seem to nail it ... if the timing is similar to the smoke jump throws timing then it's gg. People might macro to hit those peaks but it would be obv if they get it multiple times in a row. Don't think people will train for it tho, which is a good thing since i hated scout jumpshots.

macroing a shot won't be so easy wyhen trying to aim at someone, but even that said, macroing should be banned as a whole

volvoooooooo

2016-09-24 07:33

wait, so awp is also "close to on ground accuracy" when fired at the peak of the jump? edit:so each weapon has an independently defined accuracy at the apex of the jump.I just hope it is much above the "on ground accuracy" for awp.

It most likely is. Just like how terrible the mid-air AWP already was before this update.

xd, i think i'm not skilled enough.I couldn't even fire an accurate jumping scout shot.I dont know if it is because i'm not timing it correctly or because accuracy even at the apex of jump is not 100%.

2016-09-30 09:22

There's probably a new Valve guy always on Reddit now. Most definitely the best solution possible to fix all bugs..

2016-09-24 08:30

"The concept is now more tied to PRECISION-BASED timing" .... okey but everything else have been made easier lately by removing skill jumps and adding textures for nade throws so what is even valve going for here? Mixed messages from retard company

FMPone is the one who added textures to help lining up nades on Cache. You cannot really compare Jumping with scout and textures that helps nade lineups.

There shouldnt be any "help", practice smokes and learn each spray pattern^^ jump scout is iconic, better to change run'n gun smgs first

2016-09-24 21:46

1 reply

Yup, it is iconic because it was fucking stupid to begin with. You can still do it, but it takes more skill to do it consistently wich is good enough. Dont see the problem why it shouldnt be any help with stuff like that, learning the spraypattern can be done without any "help" maps, same with nades. BS argument.

2016-09-24 21:52

How about fixing shift+space long jump? For instance, on cache I can self boost myself in vents from B or on the red cont. in garage

You can still have near 100% accuracy at apex of jump, exactly the same as it was before. Now you just have less chance of killing on the way down and on the way up. Which is a GOOD thing. This is for all weapons btw Man are you retarded? People have been clamoring for this for YEARS, and now they finally fix it, and people like you are acting like retardo COD players

2016-09-24 12:03

ssg08 is not only good because of the jumping, silly boy.

for me its the cheater situation, all the known bugs and hitreg/hitboxes about which they haven't do shit for YEARS. well they tried to fix hitboxes and made it slightly better but then again fucked up with the model/hitbox desync which got fixed recently. if they fix all those bugs they started working on and implement another barrier against cheaters (shadowbans, more intrusive VAC for Prime, whatever) I may give it another shot. and to be fair, you can't blame the game and valve for flaws of 3rd party tournament hosters and your bad experience with them, can you?

2016-09-24 12:47

1 reply

yeah i forgot about cheaters too. and i agree i really cant blame them, thats why i simply stopped playing if i dont like other leagues. i did play like 5 6 games in half a year with friends in some lower when they call me and i dont want to reject but thats it.
