"Smooth Criminal" bug fixed in latest CS2 update

13-10-2023 01:00

The developer also improved player visibility and re-introduced a player count option in the mini-scoreboard.

Valve has shipped a new update to Counter-Strike 2 that has fixed the "Michael Jackson" peek bug that has plagued the game for the past two days.

The comical bug caused a player's character model to distort while strafing, resulting in a Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal"-esque lean. It was clear the game developers knew of the bug's existence when they updated their Twitter banner on Wednesday with a community-made parody of CS2's logo, but it took an extra day to ship an update that fixed the issue.

The latest patch also "made adjustments to character shaders to improve player visibility," fixed a handful of bugs, and added a "large player count" option that allows player avatars to be replaced by a numerical count of players alive — a feature that existed in CS:GO but wasn't ported to CS2 upon release.

Take a look at the complete patch notes below:

[ GAMEPLAY ]
- When a server disagrees about a player's loadout, such as when a match starts during a patch, the buy menu will now reflect the server-authoritative loadout
- Fixed a case where players could clip through ceilings
- Made adjustments to character shaders to improve player visibility

[ ANIMATION ]
- Fixed the "Smooth Criminal" foot pinning bug
- Adjusted team select and team intro knife animations to work with Shadow Daggers

[ MAPS ]
- Various bug fixes and tweaks to Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, and Vertigo

[ MISC ]
- Added "Player Color" option to "HUD Color" setting that will make the HUD match your or your spectator target's player color in competitive modes
- Changed "Use Player Colors on Team ID" default to "Yes"
- Added "Large Player Count" setting to replace player avatars with team player count in the mini-scoreboard during the active portion of rounds
- Fixed a bug where graffiti changes mid-match were delayed
- Various bug fixes and tweaks to weapon finishes and stickers

[ WORKSHOP TOOLS ]
- New Screenshot button - captures a screenshot of the game window and saves a .png file to disk. Using "Inspect" with the gray or green backgrounds saves the .png with the UI elements hidden and a transparent background
- Added Inferno and Ancient preview maps (workshop_preview_inferno and workshop_preview_ancient)
- Workshop Item Editor - Integrated help system contains detailed guides when you see (More Help: Shift+F1) in the tool tip. These detailed guides contain important information about PBR color ranges, wear/durability masking alpha values, and much more

The idea of paying hundreds for a pretty picture in a video game is just as ridiculous

2023-10-13 09:17

Usually i move to Steam->steamapps->common->Counter Strike GO->game->csgo->cfg One more is C:\Games\Steam\userdata\111111111\730\local\cfg, but the last update was a month ago.

2023-10-13 21:48

I found out. CS2 has the new config file at the moment: - cs2_machine_convars.vcfg Its located in C:\Games\Steam\userdata\111111111\730\local\cfg But i can't solve this problem anyway: -max acceptable game traffic bandwidth always changes from unrestricted to extremely restricted when i relog the game

2023-10-13 22:11

- max acceptable game traffic bandwidth, where do you have this option?

does this mean that we won't be able to see pros use the MJ peek at IEM Sydney?

2023-10-13 02:52

we still don't know which version of the game they'll play on, tournaments sometimes stick to older versions when new version breaks something - whether it's game related or backend related. like an obvious example, when R8 was introduced, next tournament was played on a version of CSGO that didn't have it.

2023-10-13 08:38

When it was introduced it was the biggest bullshit ever u could 1 shot enemies at awp distances in chest. And right click u coupd spam all bullets in 1 sec so it was like awp and shotgun depending u use left or right click for that moment

CS2 is so fucking bad right now in its current state. CSGO > CS2. It's pretty sad when they go backwards in quality.

2023-10-13 08:11

they always went backwards with new cs.. csgo was good after 3-4 years..

2023-10-13 09:08

It's not bad, it's just not as polished.

Love player count but you can no longer see who has a kit in the team as it doesn't appear anymore in TAB.

2023-10-13 10:17

you can see the defuse kit picture on your photo

2023-10-13 11:06

I saw this comment that could help you: old.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comment.. Add this to your autoexec: alias +newTab "+showscores; cl_teamcounter_playercount_instead_of_avatars false" alias -newTab "-showscores; cl_teamcounter_playercount_instead_of_avatars true" bind tab +newTab
