Latest CS2 update causes further boosting issues*

9-8-2024 02:27

In an effort to solve difficulties with players boosting on top of one another, Valve have inadvertently made the issue worse.

Update: In a small follow-up patch nearly three hours after the original update, Valve has resolved the newly-introduced boost bug.

Valve have released a new CS2 update, with the patch focusing primarily on a number of minor tweaks. By far the most notable change brought about in this update is the effort Valve has made towards resolving issues associated with player boosts.

In an effort to solve previous issues associated with boosting by "[restricting] upward movement of a player when a teammate is boosted on their head," this tweak has instead introduced a game-breaking bug that allows for the bottom player in a boost to remain floating in the air.

The full list of changes in this update are as follows:

[GAMEPLAY]
- In Casual game mode players will earn an additional XP score point for every round in which they dealt damage to enemies.
- Added a server setting "sv_vote_to_changelevel_rndmin" to control rounds/time during which voting for a level change is allowed.
- Official game servers in Casual game mode now allow voting for a level change only at the end of the match or during the first round of the match.
- Official game servers in Deathmatch and Arms Race game modes now allow voting for a level change only at the end of the match or during the first minute of the match.
- Restricted upward movement of a player when a teammate is boosted on their head.
- Dead players are no longer allowed to pick up ground weapons.
- Buy menu will automatically close if the switch team menu opens.
- Rescuing a hostage now increments objectives counter in match stats.

[UI]
- Improved legibility of damage given and taken in post-round damage report.
- Made spec target highlighting more pronounced.
- Player names are now visible on mini scoreboard whenever the mini scoreboard is expanded.

2024-08-09 10:14

You are acting like CS isnt dead right now, you can kill something already dead

2024-08-09 11:47

there is no reason to give it to a soulless corporation like Microsoft either

2024-08-09 11:48

no, i want tencet to buy valve and they'll merge with valorant

2024-08-09 02:45

Actually sad to think that no other company would be better than valve

the only thing valve has done in terms of fixing anything was a 5 year long awaited tf2 update that removed bots.

2024-08-09 04:19

I’ve heard that that didn’t even get fixed.

2024-08-09 04:38

Was a band-aid solution right before the usual summer update, wouldn't be surprised if it was a one off thing or maybe it will only occur before they release cash grab updates

2024-08-09 06:23

That's a lot better than straight up killing the game like blizzard and ubisoft do to there titles.

2024-08-09 16:32

Its sad to actually think that any company would be better than valve.

2024-08-09 07:19

they wouldnt

2024-08-09 09:28

Not really, all good companies nowadays only make single player games. Blizzard killed overwatch somehow, R6S is borderline on life support, battlefield and cod have both gone to shit and kids nowadays wont even know what halo is. The only multi-player games that are good these days other than cs are made by very small developers (e.g battlebit) or on the opposite end of the competitive spectrum (Apex legends and fortnite).

2024-08-09 16:31

L take.

2024-08-09 08:16

That will be terrible, seriously, you clearly had no idea the negatively impact of Microsoft in the history of computer science ..

they created and improve upon one of the best games inhistory

2024-08-09 11:03

2024-08-09 02:34

Dead players are no longer allowed to pick up ground weapons. What also, thought that was a closed beta thing

2024-08-09 02:37

how dead player can pick up a gun in the first place?:(

2024-08-09 07:03

Idk about this instance but in closed beta, which was plagued with bugs like infinite penetration wallbang and such. Well when you died you could spam use key to insta pickup gun that was dropped which would vanish from the round. Next round you would spawn with the gun. Could be something similar to this idk 3kliks plz explain

2024-08-09 03:04

Thank you @Draik04 and entire HLTV - you are probably the only way for us, players, to address Valve with our issues. Please don't that Valorant thingy to overpass our beloved game.

2024-08-09 03:09

2024-08-09 04:16

They decided to do this now? In the middle of the championship? damn valve

2024-08-09 05:52

the tourney will be played in the previous patch anyway its fine

2024-08-09 06:11

CS was made by passionate artists Cs2 was made by people with liberal arts degrees These two types of people are not the same and shouldn't be treated as such.

2024-08-09 06:16

CSGO was designed by the same person that created 1.6 and prior versions. CS2 was made by devs who have no idea about how the game is supposed to work. i played 20+ years and quit because of their shit

2024-08-09 06:20

This would go HUGE on twitter

2024-08-09 08:30

best part of playing CS2 was uninstalling it

2024-08-09 06:18

imagine working at valve and cant fix a bug xd

2024-08-09 07:06

valve be like

2024-08-09 07:16

Well at least some part of casual got fixed, still lots of problems though

2024-08-09 07:22

They already fixed this, why is everybody losing their minds already?

2024-08-09 08:37

Salty users, thats why

2024-08-09 09:15

Imagine releasing and update that supposedly fixes the boost bug, only to then have a new boost bug :D They did not even open the game to test it :D Salty users? No! It just Valve shitting on their own community.

2024-08-09 11:54

It's called a normal development process.

2024-08-09 13:44

It called not giving a shit. It should have taken them 3 secs to find out the end result of their fix/patch. They choose not to test and let community do the work again.

2024-08-09 15:35

HAHAAHAAH

2024-08-09 10:06

with new fixes new bugs

2024-08-09 10:12

Fix the delay first of all !! nobody likes to see the game 150ms AFTER it happens

Valve never disappoints!

2024-08-09 10:31

CS2 should be released at least in 2026.

2024-08-09 12:03

I never saw it or it to experience it but this shit made me laugh. “this tweak has instead introduced a game-breaking bug that allows for the bottom player in a boost to remain floating in the air.” I’m just picturing someone holding top mid on Mirage from window and all of the sudden you got a guy in mid air and another appears levitating right behind him.

2024-08-09 12:28

You will not see it anytime soon, because Valve fixed the bug three hours after. Why is this topic still on HLTV is beyond me...

2024-08-09 13:42

Where are retake servers? Add retake servers already, why would it take so long

2024-08-09 12:59

Update from the update: In a small follow-up patch nearly three hours after the original update, Valve has resolved the newly-introduced boost bug,but introduced another bug where you're completely accurate while jumping x.com/Ozzny_CS2/status/18218530510801347.. it's joeLver

2024-08-09 14:30

They needed almost a year to fix the boost bug. And did it wrong on first try. Like do they test nothing themselves? I don't get it. After no updates for so long it's underwhelming as f.
