Valve[WINTER UPDATE]
– Slight adjustments to Holiday Cheer.
– Gifts are now available for purchase. Gift leaderboards will be displayed until January 15th.
– Added the Revolver Case.
– Added several new community sticker capsules, currently available as offers.
– Added Service Medals for 2016. Players achieving Global General rank after December 31st will receive the new year’s medal.
[R8 REVOLVER]
– Added a new secondary weapon, the R8 Revolver, which occupies the Desert Eagle loadout slot.
— Note: The R8 Revolver will become usable in-game when the back-end servers restart.
[GAMEPLAY]
– In Competitive Matchmaking times are now 1:55 and 0:40 for round and C4, respectively. These are also the new times for CSGO Major Championships.
– Adjusted recovery time on the AK47, M4A4, and M4A1-S assault rifles to reduce the range at which spraying is preferable to tapping/bursting.
– Increased move inaccuracy on pistols: Elites, Fiveseven, Glock, P2000, P250, Tec9, USP, CZ75a.
– Added team timeouts to Competitive Matchmaking, which can be called with a vote. Default is 60 seconds, set by mp_team_timeout_time.
[KILLER REPLAY]
– Added new Killer Replay to Casual and Demolition modes. GOTV must be active on the server to enable the feature.
– Menu option Help/Options->Game Settings->Automatic Killer Replay will turn replay off.
– Several convars are available to customize the Killer Replay. Search for ‘replay’ in the console for a complete list.
[COMMUNITY]
– Game servers and GOTV relays not logged in to a persistent game server account with a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) will only allow clients to connect from the same LAN.
– Community servers can now be only connected by their real public IP or their internal RFC1918 address.
– To create a GSLT, visit the GSLT creation utility here: http://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers
– Each GSLT is restricted for use on one dedicated server instance only, and should be passed on command line with +sv_setsteamaccount THISGSLTHERE -net_port_try 1
– Added an option to report servers for misrepresenting players’ inventory and/or rank.
– Game servers will now display their SteamID to an operator’s status request in the server console.
– Game servers with GOTV enabled and GOTV relays that need to support external clients connecting on GOTV port must set tv_advertise_watchable 1
[MISC]
– Users’ options are now stored independently in a Steam account-local data folder and can be different across Steam accounts on the same machine.
– Administrators setting up tournament Active Directory logons with Roaming Profiles can create a directory inside the user’s roaming profile storage and expose that location to the game by setting an environment variable USRLOCALCSGO=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\csgo
– Video options for shadow quality, model/texture detail, effect detail, shader detail, and texture filtering mode can now be autodetected at startup to adjust for multitasking with other background applications. These video options can also be permanently set by the user to remain the same regardless of other background applications detected during game launch.
– Minor sound mix tweaks. First person footsteps slightly quieter, third person footstep volume remains unchanged.
– Highlights and Lowlights now transition smoothly between clips.
– Lowlights will now identify the target using the same visual indicator as the Killer Replay.
[MAPS]
– Fixed some surfaces playing the wrong footstep sounds in Mirage, Overpass and Train.
– Fixed a DM spawnpoint in de_dust where the player would get stuck.
[STEAM CONTROLLER]
– Made toggle crouch work
– Fixed several bugs
[GAME STATE INTEGRATION]
– CS:GO’s game state can be relayed remotely, allowing third parties to integrate their services with the game. For example, game state integration was used at the CS:GO Major Championship at DreamHack Cluj-Napoca to present special stage effects (e.g., lighting and pyrotechnics) during a match.
– For details on how to set up your service to use game state integration, visit the wiki page here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration
[SERVERS]
– Added official servers in Hong Kong
Rumor has it:
- Note that due to the enhanced user-based settings storage introduced, all video settings were reset. You may notice some drops in FPS
- GuideZ of reddit posted a side-by-side comparison of the Desert Eagle and the R8's stats in the buy menu
- Here are the new item images in this item schema update: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/99603261327fe6d24be25ac9226d0f4b97a4199a
- For the 2016 Service Medal, there are a possible theoretical total of 6 times to claim it
- If you're capable of reaching level 6, talk about dedication
- Lots of game state stuff: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/d19ea4853d66e1df3edf7cb0721d22a02ed2436c
- Steam datagrams, currently used in Dota 2 particularly after its Source 2 transition, appear to be making their way over to CS:GO: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/91cb56f29121e23c8825583f6afea30bdb806447

The revolver is really weird, the primary is like a charge up and the secondary is super inaccurate. I'm going to stick with the deagle.
I'm liking the new ak though. Can't believe they made longer bomb timers standard now though.
Edit: oh wait, I think they reduced the mm time, and increased the pro time, which I guess makes sense.

"– Users’ options are now stored independently in a Steam account-local data folder and can be different across Steam accounts on the same machine."
can this be removed? When I change settings I'd rather not do it 3 times

Just dropped the new revolver case. The easiest 20$ of my life.

Wow tournaments actually do this kind of snazzy IT tomfoolery? Neat.

An relative update would be a total redo of the weapons unused in Comp.

I went from around 200 to 130 FPS after this update. I did change the video settings to lowest, but nothing really changed.
Also does anyone know if it's possible to disable this holiday themed frame which appears on killcam?

To the people saying their having bad FPS issues. Have you changed your video settings back to what they were before the update?
– Video options for shadow quality, model/texture detail, effect detail, shader detail, and texture filtering mode can now be autodetected at startup to adjust for multitasking with other background applications. These video options can also be permanently set by the user to remain the same regardless of other background applications detected during game launch.
After the update your game auto sets your graphic settings to your PC's specs.
