[ GAMEPLAY ]

• Various adjustments to bullet hit feedback.
  
• Fixed a case mid-spray where lag compensation would rewind target hitboxes further into the past than what was on screen.
  
• Jumping in place on a sloped surface will no longer result in players sliding a short distance.
  
• Fixed a bug where C4 could be defused from any height.

[ ANIMATION ]

[ MISC ]

• Activating an Armory Pass no longer grants the first Armory Credit immediately. All 40 Armory Credits can be earned by playing and earning XP.

[ MAPS ]

Office

• Fixed geometry in the problematic jumping corner.

Ancient

• Reworked collision on the staircase to A-main for better player movement.
  
• Removed a tree that was creating a distracting shadow at A site.
  
• Adjusted collision to better match visible geometry so that players can hug the walls more closely.
  
• Fixed a few lighting bugs.
  
• Reduced shadows to increase perf in some areas.
  
• Fixed some spots in house where you could get stuck.
  
• Fixed collision gap at the bottom of B ramp.
  
• Fixed some disappearing mesh.

Nuke

• Fixed some lighting errors on lower graphics settings.

Anubis

• Fixed a gap in geometry.

[ MISC ]

• Increased jump tolerance for sliding along a surface to fix certain jumps like in the corner outside in cs_office.
  
• Fixed a crash in page file usage when Vulkan initialization fails and the game falls back to DX11.

[ MISC ]

• First-person inspect animation in Inventory and Loadout will now match in-game viewmodel settings and FOV.
  
• Fixed a regression with smoke rendering from old demo files.
  
• Fixed damage report to show correctly in Casual and Deathmatch game modes.
  
• Added sv_jump_precision_enable so servers running certain custom game modes (e.g. surf) can opt out of jump precision improvements.
  
• Fixed "I have to go, my planet needs me."

[ JUMPING ]

• Improved jump height consistency to be within 0.015625 of a unit regardless of distance from the map origin at coordinate (0,0,0).
  
  • Previously, in both CS:GO and CS2, jump height could vary by up to 0.03125 of a unit depending on the distance from the map origin.
• Improved consistency of successfully landing on surfaces very close to the maximum height of a jump.
  
• Jump height is still affected by stamina; when using cl_showpos 2, stamina at takeoff is reported and output is color coded based on possible jump height.
  
• Fixed a bug with cl_showpos display sometimes showing incorrect jump height when jumping from sloped surfaces.
  
• Fixed some cases where the client would be pulled back down during a jump because the server disagreed that the jump had taken place.

[ MISC ]

• Adjusted weapon pickup logic while near the C4, prioritizing defusing over accidental weapon pick-up.
  
• Enemies will now consistently play a flinch animation on the closest hit when the bullet goes through two hitboxes of equal priority (e.g. when both right and left legs get hit).
  
• HE grenade explosions within smoke now clear the accumulated smoke screen effect on players inside that smoke within range of the HE grenade explosion.
  
• Stability improvements.

[ MAPS ]

• Dust II
  
  • Fixed a gap in geometry.

[ MISC ]

• Fixed a bug where grenades were generating headshot sounds.
  
• Fixed a bug where grenades were not bouncing off certain dynamic props.
  
• Fixed a bug where Copenhagen 2024 winners were not showing up in the Majors tab in the Watch menu.

[ MAPS ]
Vertigo

• Fixed a bad collision interaction between grenades and a prop.
  
• Fixed a wall bang exploit.

Mills

• Updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop (Update Notes).
  
• Added localization strings for location callouts.

[ MISC ]

• Fixed mouselook inconsistencies when game render dimensions are different from game window dimensions.
  
• Fixed erroneous target aim punch animation during client-side shooting.
  
• Fixed erroneous Zeus shock effect during client-side shooting.
  
• Fixed a bug where Zeus headshots wouldn't emit the death yelp.

[ UI ]

• Prior Major results are now available in the Majors tab in the Watch menu.

[ GRAPHICS ]

• Fixed mixed resolution rendering from erroneously resetting during map changes.
  
• Fixed a known crash when compiling lighting in Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools.
  
• Fixed detail normal UV scaling.
  
• Fixed several biplanar mapping bugs, added support for nonuniform scale in biplanar mapping mode.
  
• Added an option to apply albedo color correction to transmissive foliage textures, and adjusted the foliage shader for more accurate color correction.
  
• Added a startup warning when the game is launched under low available system memory conditions or with a limited pagefile size. These conditions may cause the game to be unstable or crash.
  
• Various stability improvements.

[ UI ]

• Fixed UI checkboxes behaving inconsistently when depositing or extracting a large number of items into and from Storage Units.
  
• Fixed a regression with loading animated Steam avatars, the cows are mooooving again.

[ MISC ]

• Performance optimizations in hierarchies of unchanged entities.
  
• Various stability improvements.

[ MAPS ]

  • Fixed disappearing geometry in apartments.

[ GRAPHICS ]

• Fixed certain particle effects, like tracers, to fall back to mixed resolution for better performance when using low graphics settings with MSAA disabled.
  
• Improved lighting artifacts in various interior places when compiling maps.

[ MISC ]

• Teammate colors will now be assigned on official servers as soon as all players press ACCEPT. This will ensure that colors are correct during Pick/Ban phase, and during Warmup.
  
• Improvements in Charms reactivity physics system to better align with weapon animations.

[ MISC ]

• Fixed missing cascade shadows on some community maps
  
• Fixed the Armory weapon preview having extra models
  
• Network jitter graphs now have a number in the upper right hand corner that gives the scale of the graph
  
• Fixed some cases where shell casings could render as an error model
  
• Various stability fixes
