CS:GO patch 1.17.5.1 released

24-8-2012 05:57

The release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive earlier this week has not ceased the development of the game, as the developers have shipped yet another patch, the second this week.

Today's update includes two of the most requested fixes by the community in the official forums: the implementation of flinching and the improvement of tagging.

First person flinching, the shaking that occurs on the player's screen when hit, has been added to the game alongside with an option to enable dynamic crosshair.

Tagging, the player slowing down when shot at, has also been tweaked per feedback from the community.

Full changelog follows:

Gameplay

Exposed a classic dynamic crosshair style in the options that represents the weapons spread accurately.
Implemented first person client flinching. Now a player gets aim punched a bit when shot. The amount is based on the damage.
Increased amount of tagging that results from hits.

Bugs

Fixed the scoreboard turning toggleable in the end match state.
fixed not being able to bring up the pause menu without dismissing the scoreboard in the end match state.
Parallelized matchmaking results analysis process and reduced time game takes to perform matchmaking.
Improved matchmaking algorithm giving more weight to dedicated servers ping during matchmaking results analysis.

Community

Removed the implicit dependency on round-limited matches so servers that want to use mp_timelimit instead can. Mp_timelimit is used only if mp_maxrounds is set to 0.
Exposed mp_forcecamera convar.
Exposed set of server hibernate convars.
Fixed code that was preventing mapper-placed weapons.

Nice tagging is really nice. feels like 1.6 a lot more now :3

i feel like they shoulda made p250 the starting ct pistol

a lot of people feel this way, it fits the bill a lot more than the p2000

2012-08-24 06:23

Agreed! Ct pistol is awful

what they changed it? it isnt usp anymore?

Na, its some shitty thingy that feels horrible. I imagine it was to make it more even with the terrorist glock, but glock seems much more useful.

2012-08-24 16:10

so the Terrorists still use glock?

2012-08-24 16:23

3 replies

Yeah. Which still has burst.

2012-08-24 16:28

sweet. but how much of a diference are we talking about between usp and the new ct pistol? if i may ask

2012-08-24 17:11

and glock in CS:GO has much more accuracy than is 1.6 :(

2012-08-25 23:52

2012-08-24 06:16

Need bizon SD like in dayZ :)

2012-08-24 06:26

As far as I know, there aint silencer for the m4a4 in real life eather, ofc you can custom make them, but it dosent belong

2012-08-24 10:03

You couldnt be more wrong buddy, ofcourse there are silencers for the M4A1*, its an assault rifle.

2012-08-24 16:16

Its a M4A4 rifle, not M4A1 - but sure, theres probably a silencer for it, even if there isn't they should add it anyway. CT main gun without silencer = :(

2012-08-27 09:13

can someone explain me why they removed the silencer of m4? what was the point?

2012-08-24 10:56

don't know, but the sound files are already in the game so I think the silencer will come.

2012-08-24 10:58

i just cant understand to who the are listening while making the game i friend of mine,who follows cs:go/cs:s scene,he said just becuase verygames cried about the small rock in middle of d2,where you can sit there and watch catwalk... they removed it in cs:go i mean when they will listen to the community of 1.6? why they dont listen to teams like fnatic,sk,esc,na'vi... when they were making the game... i dont think that cs:s community is bigger then 1.6...

2012-08-24 11:04

they listened quite a bit tbh...

2012-08-24 11:37

The CSS community have been asking for the silencer too dude...

2012-08-24 18:21

silencer will be added in the near future. there are already some hints in the weapons.txt.

2012-08-24 12:58

+1 :D

2012-08-24 13:55

me too

2012-08-24 15:49

m4/a1 from 1.6 m4/a4 from CS:GO dont have silencer

2012-08-24 22:16

indeed, but they could just re-add the m4a1 since it's such a known weapon just like the ak

2012-08-24 22:19

sounds decent tbh, gotta test it though.

2012-08-24 06:08

an error occurred while installing counter strike global offensive what i can do..? i tried many options.. :X

spray of ak is alot better now much like 1.6

2012-08-24 06:12

They diddn't change anything about spray did they? :PP Maybe it's easier to spray someone down because they get slowed a bit now when hit? Diddn't tried update yet but its what I think because sometimes when spraying an enemy kept moving and jumping at full speed which was really annoying at times :PP

2012-08-24 12:27

im waiting for them to remove the molotov. it is WAY to op to be used.....

It should at least be banned for tournaments. Destorys the idea of a fast flowing game and entertainment for the spectators, imo.

2012-08-24 06:17

Are you guys even playing the game? Molotovs are not overpowered. 1. They are $850 so its a huge investment if you decide to buy one, i mean you could buy a Deagle for $800. 2. They only last for about 7 seconds. 3. As get_right has said in an interview, you can literally just run through it and ignore it and probably come out taking like 20-30 damage.

2012-08-24 06:32

good point

2012-08-24 11:29

yea and 1 flash and youre blind. if youre blind, you will die anyways and you cant go back...

2012-08-24 15:52

With the tagging, you can't do the "get_right" technic and run through it, coz you will automatically get slowed by flames, and you'll die 100% of the time

2012-08-24 17:15

sprays are better? Ok.

2012-08-24 06:19

this is HLTV.org page or the CS:GO developers page that wanna sellout the game? well, i need see those updates.

2012-08-24 06:33

problem? filter it out or get lost!

2012-08-24 07:21

How evil HLTV is, releasing news about a Counter-Strike game that just got released. How dare they! :)

2012-08-24 08:06

i still did not receive my booz from your birthday, that's it u are not my fav gf admin anymore, i will ignore you when we are both online :(

2012-08-24 09:12

aww :( I r heartbroken naow </3 Maybe it got caught up in the mail?

2012-08-24 19:24

those bastards from the mail........that must be it, they drink all the booz........ :( (I r sad as a BaBOON noe)

2012-08-24 20:52

It's the most logical answer, that's why mail is always late they're too busy drinking everyone's booze.

2012-08-24 22:02

youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc&feature=.. :((((((

2012-08-24 22:03

I'm just asking, cuz' the important thing is how the cs/community responds tho the game (GO hype), but never discrediting the post about, I'm just told allready, a need to try the updates :). all my arguments it's 4 the love of competitive game. peace/out.

2012-08-24 08:39

as I do to play cs: go, if I want to play you need to buy steam account???

2012-08-24 06:34

no, you need to make a steam account (if you don't have one already) and afterwards activate the game using a CD KEY that you have to buy online..just check steampowered.com it's kind of idiotic what they did with the xhair, if you choose classic it is classic with dynamic 1, but you also have classic dynamic and classic static as choices so wtf is up with that? but overall it's great to see that they are updating the game.slowly but surely *hope so*

2012-08-24 07:40

1.17.5.1 ?? Still long way to 1.6

2012-08-24 08:03

9/10 lol

2012-08-24 08:40

Man I misread this for CSPromod 1.09 lol :). However, I hope this update is what people were hoping for when the game was released

2012-08-24 08:36

It`s a really nice move from Valve and again clearly shows how much they have upped their game and general understanding and appreciation for the community. We all know how little Valve actually did to listen to the community when they developed Source so this is a highly positive and welcomed move from Valve. It`s time to be less negative about the game and Valve and more positive about the effort and resources Valve has clearly allocated for the game and in return to the community!

2012-08-24 08:43

Will +1 this point :)

2012-08-24 11:36

+1 but sadly some people are just dicks

2012-08-24 15:09

Sounds nice I'll test it when I'm at home

2012-08-24 08:51

nice

2012-08-24 09:03

can we kreedz now?

2012-08-24 09:21

No. Remember that movement is still limited as fuck and you can't do crouching or bunnyhopping. Bye Bye Kreedz!

2012-08-24 09:31

are there bots in cs go?

2012-08-24 09:19

yes

2012-08-24 09:27

thx bro

2012-08-24 10:20

I just tried CS:GO for the first time now. I'm sorry but it's horrible compared to 1.6 :(

2012-08-24 09:53

How long did you play? 5min?

2012-08-24 11:01

you have to give it some time :) it's because its different from 1.6 and you need to learn it and get used to it, especially the recoil. you haven't learned 1.6 in 1 hour too , have you?

2012-08-24 11:39

The new "Classic Dynamic" in Options, is the same with weapon_debug_show_spread 2, sfcrosshair 0 , bugs correction. It was great! But when walking, the spread is very, very large.. this is bad when you need to use this shooting and strafe. Anyone knows how to , make spread a bit more smaller,?? I think they should put , Static while moving/jumping , and 'Classic dynamic' when firing, Or an option that allows to it.

2012-08-24 09:54

Exactly right, now make the 'old' crosshair with dynamic stuff off

2012-08-24 10:26

It's called cl_dynamiccrosshair. Beats me why they removed it.

2012-08-24 10:32

Valve please add a Bazooka :D

2012-08-24 10:01

bazooka in cs wake up one shot and destroy half of Dust 2? :D

since this last update, i have this msg on almost every servers : Disconnect: Pure server: file [GAME]\pak01_000.vpk does not match the server's file.. Can someone help me with that ?

2012-08-24 10:34

Might be because the servers have not been updated yet..

2012-08-24 10:38

ok then, ty mate :)

2012-08-24 10:39

if you have your own server, put sv_pure on 0

2012-08-24 11:24

you need to libary > right click csgo > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache only way to fix it at the moment

2012-08-24 14:07

Really glad they introduced flinching, should even teh awp out a bit :P Still needs old style buying menus!

2012-08-24 10:36

7 replies

I would imagine someone will design a GUI for the buy menu but at the moment I like the buy menu for a strange reason, perhaps I have got used to it!

2012-08-24 11:03

you can still use the numbers... so i don't really know what the problem is :P

2012-08-24 11:41

numbers are all different though :P I keep buying the wrong stuff

2012-08-24 15:26

Something we'll need to get used to i guess :P

2012-08-24 16:14

i used the numpad 2 buy stuff in 1.6. bind the buys to keys suitable 2 u and its a lot faster and easier!

2012-08-24 18:46

yeaa

2012-08-24 15:15

ive actually gotten used to buying with the mouse you can still use numbers or just use buy binds

2012-08-24 15:21

bring back usp ;P

2012-08-24 11:23

all i wanted is u to put back 1.6 weapons and fix'em a little bit and maybe i start to play that sh*t cause this weapons all sucks except Deagle!

1.6 weapons are unrealistic ... first off they are all drawn wrong , the loading mechanism is on the right side the ak47 is actually an AKM ...need i go on? csgo actually has the correct weapons for the first time..

2012-08-24 11:34

i saw an AKM at the elektro firestation

2012-08-24 18:59

LOL!

2012-08-24 22:52

Hey, does anyone know how to make the crosshair look like before this patch ? The new one sucks.

2012-08-24 11:26

omg i m so dumb, got it.

2012-08-24 11:33

haha

2012-08-25 06:27

uhm, does this mean your crosshair jumps whenever you get hit? even if you have kevlar? cus that would kinda suck

It means its back like 1.6, like when you get dinked with a USP, your crosshair goes up. It's good cause it means riflers have a good chance against awpers if they get the first hit in, cause the awper has to wait a sec to re-adjust their aim.

In time, everything will be allright. Just wait until New Year.

no 2 flashes again

2012-08-24 11:55

cvar allows for 2 flashes.

2012-08-24 12:43

depends all on the server config.

2012-08-24 14:08

Keep upgrading it to 1.6 like movement and shooting paterns and i ll buy the game more likly.

2012-08-24 12:18

wow nice, I am going to buy it right now:d

2012-08-24 12:35

They absolutely need to enable players to use 2 binds for the same action. It's crucial. Need MWHEELDOWN and KP_INS for jumping !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2012-08-24 12:40

you can do that already via console...

2012-08-24 13:06

what's the command? bind "+jump" "mwheelup, space" ?

2012-08-25 20:33

bind "MWHEELUP" "+jump" bind "SPACE" "+jump" ;)

2012-08-25 23:30

I always see people like you posting things like this as if its the games fault that you are dumb and don't know you can bind commands through console same as 1.6 and source.

2012-08-24 14:28

I want the tank like siege.

2012-08-24 13:05

m4 is so horrible omg , the main gun in ct arsenal is famas - so more deadly than m4 , my advice is that in this game u cant GO spray and pray , i think its a burst fire game 4/5 bullets , even taps are disgusting but update looks better , game still shit but i see at least they have the perception it will need more updates

2012-08-24 13:27

you should watch natu's stream if you think that you cant spray properly in CS GO.

2012-08-24 17:17

M4 silencer please!

2012-08-24 13:34

I don't really hate the game, it just isn't fun. That's why I wont play it

2012-08-24 14:22

Good for you. Filter out csgo posts and you wont need to make these posts because they are boring to read

2012-08-24 15:11

no, why increased tagging? I wanna play stupid :(

2012-08-24 14:50

Change the damn sounds...

2012-08-24 14:53

Man... if they just put bhopping and duckjumping this game would already be 10 times better! We need MOVEMENT!

2012-08-24 16:30

+1, if we want a realistic game, there Are to many games and betters, I'm wondering, why the developers betrayed the 1.6 competitive essence? (skills and movement) to do this game "more real". cuz' valve do a great job with dota 2 in comparison with the original dota, as example :/

2012-08-26 17:18

I will be a little realistic at this point... Today new gamers (kids) don't want to play games with good gameplay, to play for fun! They like to be owned on 'REAL LIFE GAMES' like Battlefield and Call of Duty...

2012-08-26 18:59

I think it's better but I can't really say that

2012-08-24 15:14

still they have alot of things to update and fix :)

2012-08-24 15:41

maybe m4a1 cQBR?

2012-08-24 15:56

HITBOX 1.6 and M4 SILENCER :D

2012-08-24 16:39

gj valve !

2012-08-24 16:58

they need to add the m4 silencer, fix the crapy movements, and remake the maps more competitive.

2012-08-24 17:07

Now if they fix the movement perhaps I'll actually buy the game. Don't bitch about the maps too much compadres, people will make their own in due time.

2012-08-24 18:18

I agree on the maps. It's pointless to moan about it since the community will remake the maps on their own coz valve's one are not competitive. For the movement, j3di has revealed that they were trying top player suggestions on this matter and that an update would come soon, so I think its gon b gud

2012-08-24 20:37

1. Fix the sound 2. Add another crosshair style that mimics the xhair in 1.6 3. add the colt back in (with silencer) 4. add the silencer to the usp Other than that, pretty good. The only thing i really hate is that every res except the native res on my 2233rz looks blurry as crap and is unplayable :(

2012-08-24 19:18

you have the 1.6 crosshair in CS:GP

2012-08-24 22:36

New update; get rid of the molotov's

2012-08-24 20:07

i find molotovs actually pretty useful :)

2012-08-24 22:35

its annoying for me :p

2012-08-24 22:38

Guess we'll need to get used to them and find effecient ways of using them :P

2012-08-24 22:43

i hope they delete it or ban it from lan's :p

2012-08-24 22:47

i think the cost will limit them in competitive play. they're pretty expensive, not something like a flash that you'd want to buy every round you have the extra money

2012-08-26 17:28
