Valve will end its support of Steam on Windows XP and Windows Vista in 1 month, on 1/1/19. Any future CS:GO updates that moves the minimum Steam client version beyond the last one available for XP/Vista will render it unplayable unless you upgrade Windows.

- Here's what the UMP-45 Momentum looks like now - a lot better with fixed alpha channels!

- Aside from the Blacksite updates, the rest of the bulk of the size is in localization file updates, made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Danger Zone teams are now identified through 10 colors
- The colors available include: green, grey, blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow, red, aqua, and beige

- This one is mostly a local sync of recent Steam Datagram system configuration changes, and localization made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is close to 20 MB

Via the CS:GO blog:

Rumor has it:

- Most of the size of this update is in model and texture updates for the helicopters and supply boxes

- Semi-related to this update, it appears the new Steam Datagram system infrastructure hosted on Google's Cloud Platform will be getting some use in CS:GO

- A few SDR-related protobufs have also been marked as legacy

- There will also be a few new clusters, 3 of which are likely to be GCP clusters in US West, Germany, and Hong Kong, as well as 4 others that are yet to be determined (Winnipeg as "Canada Central" shilling intensifies)

ATTENTION AMD RADEON USERS: Widespread crashing in much the same style as what happened after Operation Wildfire and Newke is occurring. If you're crashing, please see this /r/AMDHelp thread for instructions on posting your minidumps. Valve has been notified about the issue and provided with a link to the thread.

There are also isolated reports of users with Intel graphics having the game refusing to start up, and minidumps are not being produced in those cases.

- If you see a skin in the Danger Zone Case that you really like and want to buy off of someone, check out CS:GO Stash which has links to Steam Community Market pages for your convenience. It's also got inventory images too
- You can also see the MP5-SD | Lab Rats here
- And /u/ImThour also points out that there's a set of stickers for Blacksite, including a foil version

- Lots, and I really mean lots of script and config additions for Danger Zone, if you want to know what commands control what: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/30fa4d57a2c38b9270ac075a137bd4d0449c7f83

- Not necessarily related to this update, but Valve is now using the Google Cloud Platform to host some new Steam Datagram system infrastructure in Sao Paulo and Helsinki, in addition to their own infrastructure (and Perfect World's, inside of China)
- Google Cloud Platform clusters are marked with a g before their city's IATA identifier, such as "ghel" for the Google-hosted infrastructure in Helsinki

- Size is close to 1 GB - data capped users should take action now

- Go take a peek at the Skill Groups Sticker Capsule! Just press the rich diff button on the ones you want to view, or look a little further down here for direct links
- And definitely consider giving a round of applause to /u/danidem over here
- The Skill Groups Sticker Capsule is purchasable through the Coupons section on the main menu for $1 (or CA$1.25 because you know what else is too funny? Canada's stupid monopoly money, can't take 'em seriously at all)

- All but Silver and Global Elite also have Holo variants. For Silver and Global Elite, they have an alternative Foil treatment
- Don't tell anybody, but the Silver sticker may have one surprise about it. Definitely not more than two but less than four though, that's for sure.

- /u/FuneralChris (our resident console enthusiast?) brings some details on another new cvar that wasn't mentioned, mp_disconnect_kills_bots
- In case you're wondering, dsp_room has gone back to being an integer as part of a back-and-forth with the last few updates between being a float of "29.000000" and an integer of "29". Place your bets on if the next update makes it a float again

- This update contains a healthy dose of localization made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

Rumor has it:

- Reasons for a player's disconnection are now going to be a lot more clearer in many cases, such as when players were kicked for excessive teamkilling ("For killing too many teammates"), for knifing someone right at the start of a round ("For killing a teammate at round start"), AFK ("Player idle"), for jumping off on Vertigo ("For suiciding too many times"), and more

- Cobblestone's spoopy scary thumbnail is no more as well

- For the console enthusiasts, /u/FuneralChris has today's command updates, including a revert of the last update altering dsp_room from a float to an integer back to a float

MAJOR designation was tripped due to its size of close to 425 MB. For reference, Scream Fortress IX (which was not designated MAJOR) totalled ~50 MB.

- Want to grab yourself a Tip of the Hats 2018 medal? Great news for you then, because you can still donate until 11:59 PM CDT tomorrow to get yourself one! Not only do you get an awesome in-game medal, your donation adds up to the $230K+ already raised for Camp One Step

- Localization, glorious localization! (made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You)

- Remember when Earbuds had value? Even though they don't anymore, its equip region has been standardized to "ears" instead of having its own special class

- We would have had just one day to go before 365 days without a MAJOR update, with the release of Jungle Inferno last year on 10/20/17

- Size is close to 425 MB - data capped users should be aware

- Valve actually did the engraving of trophies with yesterday's update, but there was a big problem with the Champion trophy. If you guessed that EliGE, Twistzz, and niko somehow won the major alongside Magisk and Xyp9x of Astralis, congratulations, you're correct! Too bad for those three, their time on the trophy is no more, [and the actual complete Astralis roster has been added to the trophy:
