ValveSHANGHAI MAJOR
- Shanghai 2024 Major Champions Capsule is now available for purchase. The capsule features autographs for each member of the winning team in paper, glitter, holo, and gold. 50% of the proceeds go to the players and organizations.
GAMEPLAY
- Adjusted the threshold at which death notice displays attacker as "flashed".
- Explosions will now more reliably throw weapons around even if multiple weapons are dropped on top of each other.
- During warmup, weapons will no longer drop on the ground when changing teams.
- During warmup, changing teams now has a two second cooldown.
- Added server settings controlling which items drop on the ground during warmup period: mp_warmup_items_drop_policy, mp_warmup_items_nocost, mp_warmup_items_nocount_policy. Community servers that run with free non-droppable weapons during warmup can set these settings as follows: mp_warmup_items_drop_policy 0, mp_warmup_items_nocost 1, mp_warmup_items_nocount_policy 251.
- Give command will now always drop the held weapon if the given weapon needs an empty primary/secondary weapon slot to be used. - For legacy behaviour, which would drop the new weapon on the ground, developers can use "-keep_gear" flag, e.g. give weapon_awp -keep_gear
MAPS
Train
- Improved collision fidelity on various props
- Updated and fixed surface types on several props
- Adjusted wetness levels on some surfaces
- Fixed various gaps in map
MAP GUIDES
- Map Guides are now supported in the Steam Workshop for submission and subscription.
- Added a selector to pick which map guide gets loaded in practice mode.
- Annotations nodes are now visible in the radar.
- Added a tool (via console command "workshop_annotation_submit") to submit a map guide to the Steam Workshop.
MISC
- Added a setting for CPU Cores Usage Preference to control how high performance and power efficiency cores are used by the game on CPUs with variable cores.
- Fixed a case where graphics driver could render a corrupt graphics image for weapons in inventory item tiles.
- Improvements to weapon inspect animations.
- Improvements to display of extra-long custom weapon names in UI.
- Stability improvements.
- Added all-new 2025 Service Medal which will be available starting January 1st GMT
- Workshop Tools - Fixed bug on shadows for low sunlight angles
Rumor has it:
- Just like the last few years of medals, the 2025 Service Medals feature 6 levels, each of which can be viewed below:
- Level 1:
