#1 MAJOR CS2 update for 10/2/24 (The Armory) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

ValveTHE ARMORY
- The Armory is now available in the store (https://store.steampowered.com/sale/armory)
- Features 3 new weapon collections, 2 charm collections, 2 sticker collections, the Gallery Case, and the Heat Treated Desert Eagle
- Purchase and activate an Armory Pass to start earning Armory Credits
- Make progress toward credits whenever you earn XP with an active Armory Pass
- Redeem credits for items in the Armory

CHARMS
- Introducing Charms: dynamic items you can apply to your favorite weapons. Currently available exclusively in the Armory
- Drag and drop Charms to precisely place them on the weapon of your choice. A weapon can have one charm attached at a time
- Use a Charm Detachment to detach the Charm from a weapon. The Charm will return to your inventory and can be reused
- Redeeming a Charm from the Armory grants three complimentary Charm Detachments. Additional Charm Detachments are available for purchase

INVENTORY & ITEMS
- All items acquired from the in-game store (including the Armory), Trade Offers, and Steam Community Market are now subject to a 7 day re-trade and re-market restriction
- All stickers, patches, and charms available on Steam Community Market, in the Armory, or on friends' Steam Inventory web pages can now be previewed on your own inventory items
- Removed ability to delete weapon cases from your inventory
- Added sticker scrape level selector when applying new stickers to weapons
- Added precise sticker wear level selector when scraping existing stickers on inventory weapons. Any applied stickers can only increase their sticker scrape level
- Added a way to immediately remove existing stickers from inventory weapons in addition to sticker scraping
- Added nametag module preview on the actual items when applying nametags
- Fixed several cases where applying nametags or stickers would unequip the weapon from your loadout
- Customizing a base weapon that's currently equipped will now auto-equip the newly customized version

ANIMATION
- Improved character posing when on large slopes
- Made feet pin and unpin differently for all use cases to help remove aggressively leaned characters (AKA the MJ lean)
- Pin/unpin IK logic now not affected by poor server ping times
- Feet IK now repositions to idle pose if the feet have pinned at a largely different pose to that authored
- Re-authored run, walk, and crouch content to fix wide/scissor leg posing when traversing
- Changed ladder animations and behavior so characters heads are much more representative of where the player camera is, including characters now display crouch correctly when on ladders
- Removed popping when crouching or uncrouching while jumped and reduced leaning on jump animations
- Fixed character's pose popping when falling off a ledge
- Fix for many cases where character's posing would subtly pop when traversing with slow moving weapons

GAMEPLAY
- Flashbangs and HE grenades no longer prematurely detonate when they exceed their 'stuck bounce' limit

GRAPHICS
- Added a Display selection dropdown for non-windowed Fullscreen mode to the Video settings screen
- Fixed graphics artifacts for fire effect in the Advanced Video tab

AUDIO
- Fixed a bug where UI sounds wouldn't position correctly when in-game
- Fixed an issue where step sounds would play for the local player but fail to broadcast to other players and vice-versa
- Fixed an issue where ragdoll water splash sounds would erroneously play on alive players
- Fixed a case where voice chat didn't work on community servers
- Fixed a case where incoming voice chats would sometimes never close

NETWORKING
- Added telemetry option to display graphs of network jitter and misdelivery
- Changed how packet misdelivery is measured. Previously, if packets arrived out of order, this could be counted as misdelivery even if it was corrected and did not impact gameplay. Also, jitter was not considered, even though excessive jitter can disrupt smooth gameplay. The new measurement method will only count reordered packets as misdelivered if they impact gameplay. Furthermore, if network jitter exceeds a threshold where gameplay is affected, the packets are counted as misdelivered even if they are not dropped and arrive in order

MAPS
Ancient
- Fixed some disappearing geometry
- Fixed some cases where players could detect player movement through water from across the map

- Added optional wetness layer, paintable in Hammer on environment materials with the feature enabled
- Added color correction, roughness, and normal adjustments to foliage shader and static overlays

MISC

- Size is ~5 GB (with Workshop Tools installed) - data capped users should take action NOW!

#1 Counter-Strike 2 update for 9/10/24 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

Valve[ MISC ]
Practice matches and matches started with the "map" command will now run in engine loopback mode to match the CS:GO offline default. Engine loopback bypasses most networking code for the host, resulting in one less tick of latency for the local player. Engine loopback can be disabled by appending "loopback=0" to the map command-line (e.g. "map de_dust2 loopback=0").

#1 Counter-Strike 2 update for 9/9/24 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

Valve[ MISC ]
- Added counter-strafe input automation detection options for non-Valve servers. See the sv_auto_cstrafe family of convar descriptions for details.
- Enabled measurement of network jitter on direct UDP connections to community servers. Previously, jitter measurement was only available for connections relayed over SDR. Jitter data is included in the net_connections_status command output.

Rumor has it:

- The sv_auto_cstrafe command family is as follows:
- sv_auto_cstrafe_attempt_window: "The length of the window of trailing counter-strafe attempts considered during input automation detection." (Default: 1)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_kick: "Whether or not to kick players when counter-strafe input automation is detected." (Default: false)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_logging: "0: never, 1: every time counter-strafe input automation is detected, 2: every counter-strafe" (Default: 0)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_lower_overlap_pct_threshold: "The percentage of overlapping attempts in the attempt window below which input automation detection is triggered at the success threshold." (Default: 0.000000)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_min_attempts: No description (Default: 1)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_sequence_length: No description (Default: 1)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_success_threshold: No description (Default: 1)
- sv_auto_cstrafe_upper_overlap_pct_threshold: "The percentage of overlapping attempts in the attempt window below which input automation detection is triggered when all counter-strafes in a sequence are successes." (Default: 0.000000)

- Otherwise, this update is one of those WYSIWYG updates with not much more other than localization file updates, many of today's being under-the-hood removals/rearrangements of comments

- Size is just under 50 MB (with Workshop Tools installed)

Via the Steam Community:

ValveMAPS
Mills
- Updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop (Update Notes)

Pool Day
- Updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop (Update Notes)

MISC
- Slightly delayed tagging effects to reduce instances of players experiencing teleportation when taking damage.

- Fixed a case where players could start the bomb plant animation outside of bomb sites
- Fixed a case where the revolver barrel would rotate erroneously
- Reduced initial loading times for the Settings and Play menus

Rumor has it:

- There's also a small helping of new and updated translations, made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You
