Valve releases new CS:GO update

4-12-2012 02:25

Valve has released a new update to CS:GO which introduces some important changes to the game.

One of the most interesting aspects of this update is that the price of the decoy grenades has been reduced from $200 to $50, so it will be very interesting to see if teams will start using them more often.

There have also been some changes to the Molotov as its overall effects have been updated "a bit", and the fire now goes out "slightly faster when extinguished."

Below you can find the complete release notes concerning this update:

- In addition to TKing, you can now be kicked/banned in two different ways for team hurting:

- For doing an unusual amount of damage in a short amount of time.
- For doing an excessive amount of team damage over the course of the match.

- Partial inferno extinguishing now properly puts out flamelets.

- Molly/Inc Grenade fire now goes out slightly faster when extinguished and updated the overall effects a bit.

- Fixed an edge case where the alerts panel would show on round start for a frame.

- Changed default tv_delay to 10s.

- Changed default tv_delaymapchange to 1. This postpones the post-match level change by the tv_delay amount to ensure that the broadcast to GOTV clients is complete. NOTE: Manually quitting the server or changing the level while the broadcast is still ongoing will kill the feed to all GOTV relays and GOTV clients and your spectators will miss the end of the match. It's best to let the system's timer run out on its own or wait for as many seconds as you have tv_delay set for.

- Replaced hard-coded 'E' observer use command with '+use'

- Tweaked autodirector based on feedback.

- Added item purchases to server log.

- Decoy grenade changes

Reduced price to $50.

Reduced fire rate and extended life span to make it less identifiable as a decoy.

Physically looks more like a flashbang to allow fakes.

- Fixed assists displaying the assister's name twice in the server log.

- Reduced default value of sv_clockcorrection_msecs to 30 and whitelisted the convar

- Reorganized net_graph options:

0: off

1: Competitively allowable data.

2: Additional In/Out data.

3: Additional real-time graphing.

- Added net_graph to convars restricted by sv_competitive_minspec ( allowable values are 0 and 1 )

- Valve can now assign official violations cooldown to accounts

- Added a game server convar sv_kick_players_with_cooldown (default=1)

0: allow all players to play on game server

1: kick players with official assigned violation

2: kick players with any competitive cooldown

Not bad

the recoil is ok, you just have to learn how to control it.

2012-12-04 03:46

go play 1.6 then you turd. it's a different game, not everything has to be the same.

2012-12-04 09:59

you know how to fix the recoil and feeling? play more then 100 or 200 hours

If you have to waste more than 100 hours to feel excited while playing it, it's gonna be pretty tough to attract public players.

to get people to be excited about cs:go seems in this community to be impossible - because if you are not the baws with headshots left and right - its just not fun apparently. Therefore people from this community will never like a new game, because they have to tosh what they already learnt. sad but true.

2012-12-04 14:50

So true bro :D That's why 70% will fail in cs:GO =))

2012-12-06 12:19

Where is my silencer.....

2012-12-04 02:32

In 1.6/Source maybe ? :O

2012-12-04 03:17

Hahaha +1

2012-12-04 18:08

+1 that sound would be perfect

2012-12-04 14:40

i dont think they will make it because you can hear people shooting with silencer from your base to enemy base so dosnt matter

2012-12-04 14:54

Its not about sound retard :-D

2012-12-04 15:06

2012-12-04 17:26

"Reduced default value of sv_clockcorrection_msecs to 30 and whitelisted the convar" NICE ! Everybody have to add this in his server.cfg and set it to 0. No more T decals advantages. ---------- Added net_graph to convars restricted by sv_competitive_minspec ( allowable values are 0 and 1 ) Nice too.

2012-12-04 02:37

whats the difference between 30 and 0 ?

2012-12-04 06:59

5 replies

No peak advantages i suppose.

2012-12-04 07:10

60ms was the old default value. 30ms will effectively remove half of the peeker's advantage present prior to this update. Changing it to 0 will effectively remove it all together.

2012-12-04 07:48

60 was designed for tick33 server, 30 is now defaulted as tick64 is on by default. For tickrate128 it should be maximum 30 for online and 0 for lan.

2012-12-04 09:29

i meant 15 online

2012-12-04 09:56

Depend of average ping, is most player are close to 15, yeh 15, but if its 30, we should set 30 ? In a short way, clock correction to set ~= average ping. (?)

2012-12-04 17:04

Important changes? Should be a joke.

2012-12-04 02:35

+1000

Not really. whitelist the convar sv_clockcorrection_msecs is very important.

2012-12-04 02:36

Whaaaaaaaaaat? 0 importance there.

2012-12-04 02:38

hahaha it fix the T advantage.

2012-12-04 02:40

??? CT has the same peaking advantage, and this "fix" doesn't fix it.

2012-12-04 02:42

I mean "attacker" "peaker", not only T. -_-

2012-12-04 02:47

This changes everything!!

+1 got excited when i saw the title....

+1...

2012-12-04 17:27

Good job looking for more updates in movement and in smokes

The silencer update (if someday comes) will bring more players than making the game 1$

17 replies

WTF is with that silencer? Ur seriously saying that people won't play this game because there is no silencer(s)?

2012-12-04 02:43

Im saying there is a LOT of people that care more about silencers and visual things than ingame tweaks. I.e ''sv_clockcorrection_msecs''

2012-12-04 02:53

youtube.com/watch?v=3YXS8a1dEGg Those people who think adding silencer to make CTs even more dominant, is more important over this gamebreaking bug are definetly trolls. Pick your words wisely.

2012-12-04 03:33

you didnt understand what ive said or my explanation wasnt good enough.

2012-12-04 03:45

Oh, now I got it. My bad

2012-12-04 03:53

and Its m4a4 not m4a1:D if it was m4a1 then it i will have a silencer But its m4a4

nope. "buy m4a4" command doesnt work! only "buy m4a1" works.

2012-12-04 07:47

Engine Dude Engine:P Source Engine

2012-12-04 10:36

Almost every weapon in the world can have a suppressor.

2012-12-04 13:06

Man, you can put a silencer on a AK-47 if you want to

2012-12-04 14:27

M4A1 had silencer not that gun in CS:GO ( M4A4 ) so never be silencer in cs go

2012-12-04 12:59

they have said that they will add it,''its on the todo list @ low priority'' -_-

2012-12-04 14:57

Well In Call of duty every gun have a silencer so its possible but i think CS:GO m4a4 with silencer will not be good:D

2012-12-04 15:02

In call of duty also thompson had silencer ;) i think cs is more realistic with guns

2012-12-04 15:56

huh? almost every gun can have a silencer. Even ak or deagle.

2012-12-04 16:51

thompson from II WW ??? srsly :D

2012-12-04 22:11

yeah, it can

2012-12-06 11:46

I dont like the tk part and i hope not that is for competitive games. what if markeloff shots the head of ceh9 with the awp?

2012-12-04 02:39

lol it cant be part of competitive games..

Obviously it is for the competetive matchmaking to stop two griefers playing together, only teamattacking their team etc. (and seeing how they are two, they can't be voted off either!)

2012-12-04 14:41

Think it can be turned on/off. Just for public:-)

haha i think he has learned it by now!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhhahaH

2012-12-06 09:23

"Physically looks more like a flashbang to allow fakes." I see HeatoN vs elemeNt

i see the same!

+1 for oldschool

2012-12-05 00:39

cool

2012-12-04 02:44

Worst update ever.

2012-12-04 02:49

every update will be worst ever cos game is worst ever!

already beyond worst ? I would say...

2012-12-04 11:15

i'm still waiting for the old silencer T.T

2012-12-04 02:52

no one will use decoys anyway, it's too obvious.

thats why they tweaked 'em ;D

2012-12-04 02:54

They will be used now on pistol because you can get a 250 flash and one. Gun rounds people will buy them if they cant afford one of the other nades. Now that they look like a flash they will have some decent uses of faking a flash like the smoke in 1.6 too.

2012-12-04 04:51

zZZZzZzzzzZzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZ

After this update i'm not able to join any server o.O

2012-12-04 03:05

Great update! Thought they were done with these, but its glad to see they are still improving the game :)

2012-12-04 03:09

They keep updating useless stuff, while the really bad points of the game, remain the same since the releasement.

2012-12-04 03:11

Useless stuff you say? They are listening to the players in order to produce better quality. Sir, what is useless is your existence.

2012-12-04 07:23

Yes refining netcode and fixing peekers advantage is totally useless. Getting shot around corners and being shot before I can phsically react wasnt annoying at all

2012-12-04 17:28

Valve can now assign official violations cooldown to accounts what is that mean?

2012-12-04 03:12

where is fcking movement ?

Those of you saying this update is lackluster are just proving your ignorance.. The sv_clockcorrection_msecs correction is a pretty big deal.

what is suposed to do that thing?

2012-12-04 04:28

you might actually be able to hold lines now rather than just getting owned as there is/was a huge advantage to people peaking corners in this game where they would see you before you see them.

2012-12-04 04:55

thanks man, sound good

2012-12-04 13:08

sv_clockcorrection_msecs is nice, but what's with the recoil settings weren't they supposed to be added soon?

2012-12-04 03:22

small update now we will wait another 2 weeks for another small update or maybe even more, cause holidays are coming valve sucks

2012-12-04 03:23

So we should expect valve to work more because holidays are coming, where we all get time off?

2012-12-04 11:26

Here you can see a video of the new Decoy: youtu.be/2n_JqjqvWUg?hd=1

2012-12-04 03:32

how to set it? bankfotek.pl/view/1372035

myhyper.de/downloads/csgo/CompetitiveHUD..

2012-12-05 01:54

- fix a bit the recoil according to J3d1's values - silencer - remove noise when jumping - fix the smoke, they messed it on previous update...wayyyy too wide! and we got a pretty nice version :)

2012-12-04 04:25

and movement?

2012-12-04 04:29

true but too much for now

2012-12-04 04:33

p250 + flash + decoy a winning pistol round combination yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

Does the update shut down the computer when press mouse1 ? No ? Still the same shit as always.

ROFL, SO FUNNY. foad.

"...introduces some important changes to the game." lol

2012-12-04 04:42

does this patch fix peakers advantage?

2012-12-04 04:54

"- Valve can now assign official violations cooldown to accounts" pardon my ignorance, but what does this mean?

2012-12-04 05:10

my guess is constantly teamflashing or tking ingame would allow valve to assign ban durations to your account ex. 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day , etc.

thanks, that's what i was wondering. it's an interesting idea, but it seems like it could go horribly wrong if not implemented well

2012-12-04 20:41

demos broken again??

2012-12-04 06:18

just checked, they aren't

2012-12-04 06:48

nice! :)

2012-12-04 08:06

Why am i not able to bind keys to buy weapons ?

bind leftarrow "buy deagle" this should work, it's like in 1.6 but u have to put the "buy" in there also

2012-12-04 07:52

Thanx for the reply and its working :)

2012-12-04 18:16

now if i want to bind like "bind "kp_ins" "m4a1 and ak47 " how to do it ? in 1.6 it was like bind "kp_ins" "m4a1;ak47" pls help .

2012-12-04 18:29

movement needs update asap.or never. it is very hard for teams which have already accustomed to change and accustom again.

2012-12-04 07:29

The best update will be : ban of decoy grenades and molotovs. ps. and may be cs:go :D because valve agree that 1.6 is much better

valve pls fix loading crash -_-

2012-12-04 07:39

So happy about the sv_clockcorrection_msecs 30 change. I feel that all competitive servers should definitely be using 0 though. Good update Valve!

was waiting for M4 silencer -_-

2012-12-04 07:49

Still no _se maps for competitive matchmaking... But i like the decoy changes, will be fun now :)

2012-12-04 08:04

Still waiting fix for the matchmaking :((

2012-12-04 08:07

no se maps in matchmaking system -.-

2012-12-04 08:10

why they update net graph if on official tournaments net_graph always should be 0 ? And another question - we will see silencer in future for m4a? :)

2012-12-04 08:33

now the net_graph can be set to 1 in tournaments... if tournaments dont update their rules they are stupid

Haven't bought go, but I plan to when they add the silencer

2012-12-04 08:35

Lol is that the only reason you have waited to buy it, why is this community so fickle. Fuck important changes just add the silencer and the game will be perfect.....

2012-12-04 08:38

and what would an important change look like for you?

2012-12-04 08:47

Aside from recoil and possibly movement, the continuation of developing GOTV to something similar to what DotA2 has, the development of the casual side of the game to bring in new blood, and help the community grow. These are the important updates and changes they should be looking at. The silly thing is there was a website running a poll on adding a silencer or having better important updates and the community simply wanted the silencer. If Valve added that 75% of the community would then be happy and wouldn't moan, it just seems fickle.

2012-12-04 15:35

bla bla bla. I want my silencer... This game is a huge error. Deal with it.

2012-12-04 17:14

Happy with that update, the peaking advantage is gay and the GOTV fix was needed. GJ Valve :)

2012-12-04 08:37

and where's f**king silancer for m4?! I want to be like James Bond!

not bad

2012-12-04 08:44

The price of decoys will only make teams able to stand in their spawns throwing decoys all over the place just to annoy the other team. I guess the net_graph update is ok.

2012-12-04 08:45

allow dowload maps from server i hate new guys on VS esl who dnt have mirrage or nuke maps they waste time of other players

I want that mip mip sound when you press E randomly so I can troll people :(

2012-12-04 08:46

Haha those small things did the job

2012-12-06 09:00

- Changed default tv_delaymapchange to 1. This postpones the post-match level change by the tv_delay amount to ensure that the broadcast to GOTV clients is complete. NOTE: Manually quitting the server or changing the level while the broadcast is still ongoing will kill the feed to all GOTV relays and GOTV clients and your spectators will miss the end of the match. It's best to let the system's timer run out on its own or wait for as many seconds as you have tv_delay set for. Guess lurppis trolling paid off ;P

2012-12-04 08:56

Pretty sure you didn't follow twitter conversation :) twitter.com/lurppis_/status/273877971675..

2012-12-04 09:40

again stupid fix??? make new pro map better...

2012-12-04 09:34

wtf?

2012-12-04 09:41

Definitely a fan of the decoy changes, I might actually start using them now. Although on full buys I'll probably still opt for the smoke, nade, flash. Still, they really should change the bombtimer to 35 and allow 4 nades on matchmaking servers. And fucking stop being stingey with the tickrate please Valve. Also wish they'd set the competitive matchmaking maps to the _se versions.

2012-12-04 09:54

2012-12-04 10:28

except nuke, _ve version is the right one

2012-12-04 15:22

60 was designed for tick33 server 30 is now defaulted as tick64 is on by default. For tickrate128 it should be maximum 15 for online and 0 for lan.

lol tardz, those updates are useless...you should put lower requirements so i can have higher fps than f*cking 50

2012-12-04 10:12

it is not year 2000. buy better PC and stop crying no money? get a job are you student? you still can sell icecream or work @ McDonalds

2012-12-04 10:48

They still haven't added the good maps to competitive mode, or added the options to disable sound on jumping and bomb planting.

2012-12-04 10:13

+1, about sound on jumping and bomb plating.

2012-12-04 13:09

They should fix hitboxes and spray patterns.. It's almost impossible to spray..

2012-12-04 10:16

Play deathmatch n spray constantly, you'll soon get use to it lol.

2012-12-04 12:52

hahahahahah what an amazing updates, Keep going VALVe ... euh keep trolling -.-'

2012-12-04 10:23

Some useful fixes, but still nothing on the game-changing. The game still appears boring to the eye of the viewer. Still 5hs won't look even half as impressive as it did in 1.6

2012-12-04 10:31

good good good, very nice with the peakerchange now :)

2012-12-04 11:13

Nice update to TOP game :D..How about fix first those player models..Insane.........Never raged ingame..But when shitty game is blurry dont know who is my enemie and radar..Useless:D:D:D Not gonna talk about recoil..Cause it is not CS 1.6..And the recoil is funny..NOthing near the normal in life..I have AK behind my bed..

2012-12-04 11:46

Valve kidding with us... still no good update

2012-12-04 12:00

i am not sure if players start to use decoys, i cant imagine which pro teams can be fooled by decoys.

2012-12-04 12:22

This is ridiculous, you don't even checked these reports and many others: forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthrea.. Where is new crosshair which will behave the same like this one in CS 1.6 with cl_dynamiccrosshair "0"? Where is fix for jumping/bouncing weapons on the ground? Where is fix for the shooting after second reload? Where is fix for footstep sound during sneaking on the stairs? Where are fixes for demos (skateboarding etc.) Where the fcuk is good and solid update? I'm really dissapointed Valve.

2012-12-04 13:02

Valve come on, do some good update for players not for viewers, viewers are on second place!

2012-12-04 13:07

I am pretty much fine about classic and classic static crosshais behavior. Dynamic crosshairs stretches into heaven this should be reworked. The more piss me off that I am not able to find right settings for crosshair to look like green translucent in 1.6 so I use green default static because its color is the closest to it.

2012-12-04 14:03

You never play with cl_dynamiccroshair 0 in CS 1.6? About crosshair translucent, true.

2012-12-04 14:58

I don't play with dynamic usually but I can handle little movement of the crosshair ;).

2012-12-05 00:09

the GO version of non-dynamic crosshair command is cl_crosshairstyle 1

2012-12-05 01:15

I know, but this is not what players from CS 1.6 want!

2012-12-05 12:56

Hmm I don't see about what are everybody so impressed about? I didn't find anything good.

its still a sheat

2012-12-04 13:41

Nice updates, the clockcorrection will change the game dramatically! Maybe Valve should consider to just throw in a silencer for the m4a1 aswell to shut all these morons up for good, getting tiresome to listen to them :)

2012-12-04 14:11

they fixed nothing

2012-12-04 14:30

Apart from fixing the largest gamebreaking bug which changed the game dramatically better..

2012-12-04 14:48

++++

2012-12-04 16:03

still bad updates needs movement from 1.6

+++++

2012-12-05 11:24

ppc...

2012-12-04 15:07

need crosshair tweak ! 64bitvps.com/csgo/ticket/crosshair-while..

2012-12-04 15:26

VALVE FIX RECOIL AND MOVEMENT !!!

2012-12-04 16:02

Recoil is good (new) they need to fix aim punching because it's fcuking up recoil. Movement what exaclty, air movement and bh?

2012-12-04 16:15

recoil don't need fixing you re too low for handling it :D

2012-12-04 17:23

You can fix it by playing deathmatch.

2012-12-04 17:43

- In addition to TKing, you can now be kicked/banned in two different ways for team hurting how disable it in private server? oO

2012-12-04 17:36

sv_kick_ban_duration 0 sv_kick_players_with_cooldown 0

2012-12-04 17:41

dont work, grrrr vale again do stupid thing

2012-12-04 17:48

- In addition to TKing, you can now be kicked/banned in two different ways for team hurting: - For doing an unusual amount of damage in a short amount of time. - For doing an excessive amount of team damage over the course of the match. The stupidest change EVER. Team damage with nades are happening alot. Foreseen that? Idiots.

2012-12-04 21:39
