+ They still didn’t fix fastdownload from community servers...\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Yep still an issue for me as well... Hopefully they'll sort\r
+ it soon.\r
+\r
+ ** PM_MOAR_NUDES\r
+ You know the workaround? It’s easy to use, but it’s just\r
+ beyond me that valve hasn’t just spent five minutes fixing\r
+ this\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ I think so, care to share anyway.\r
+ Haven't actually bothered using it.\r

+ It’s painless to use I am out and about so I’ll\r
+ forget to find a link but it is shared in one of the\r
+ github bug tracker page for that isseu\r
+\r
+ ** klinch3R\r
+ If you remind me in like 1 hour i can post a link\r
+ to it.\r

+ This update almost made me want to reinstall but I'll wait\r
+ until this is fixed\r
+\r
+ ** PM_MOAR_NUDES\r
+ Oddly there is a workaround created by a guy that makes\r
+ cheats for csgo\r
+\r
+ ** whatyourereferringto\r
+ I've used that before but it's a little bit pathetic\r
+ this bug hasn't been fixed after 4+ years\r
+\r
+ ** PM_MOAR_NUDES\r
+ True\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** ericek111\r
+ Hey, my cheats are just a proof-of-concept! :)\r
+\r

+\r
+\r
+ ** TheSilentLink\r
+ This is great news! It finally fixes the bug where one core was\r
+ stuck at 100% all the time.\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Fuck I have to check this out!\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** dirtkiller23\r
+ I had like 60 average fps(ulletical's benchmark map) on\r
+ Scaleform,and panorama was on 45 av.fps.After this patch,i'm\r
+ hitting constant 60 fps.\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Good to know! I play c's pretty competitively so I have a\r
+ pretty beastly gaming pc yet having slightly less fps on\r
+ Linux than windows bothered me.\r
+\r
+ ** Nakrule18\r
+ I just switched from windows to Linux and have only 100FPS\r
+ (240 before) on CSGO. Any idea what I’m doing wrong ? I\r
+ use an Optimus laptop with the latest nvidia driver and\r
+ bumblebee.\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Make sure compositing is turned off before launching\r
+ cs. Should do it automatically.\r
+ Make sure you have the latest driver.\r
+ Optimus shouldn't have such a large perf hit so maybe\r
+ not that.\r
+ Possibly your CPU isn't boosting as much under Linux.\r
+ Cs is very CPU based so having high individual core\r
+ counts can help heaps.\r
+\r
+ ** Nakrule18\r
+ I will try this tonight, thank you. It is definitely\r
+ not a CPU issue (Razer Blade 2018 with six physical\r
+ cores).\r
+ In fact I was wondering if my laptop was using the\r
+ Nvidia card or the Intel IGP, as 100FPS when playing\r
+ CS with the lowest settings in 1024x768 should not\r
+ be possible with a GTX1060.\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Individual core speeds are more important, but\r
+ 100fps is still pretty low so you're probably\r
+ right there.\r
+ But yeah if Optimus isn't working properly that\r
+ sounds like a reasonable reason.\r
+\r
+ ** Nakrule18\r
+ Do you know any way to check which card is\r
+ being used while playing ?\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ No clue, don't play on laptops. Sorry!\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** rebakis\r
+ I hope so, Performance really suffered with the Panorama update.\r
+\r
+ ** gandalfx\r
+ Is boosting possible in casual now? That sounds dope!\r
+\r
+ ** Firelfyyy\r
+ Yup!\r

+ Any tips for improving performance in Linux?\r
+ I have Ryzen 1600 @3.75Ghz.\r
+ I used to get between 250-350fps in competitive. Using Linux\r
+ that drops down to 120-200fps\r
+ Currently using -high as a launch option and setting the CPU\r
+ Guvnor in Terminal to performance\r
+\r
+ ** TurnDownForTendies\r
+ Still getting less performance than windows but this is\r
+ significantly better than what it used to be for me. Maps used\r
+ to have big fps drops and now its a lot smoother.\r
+\r
+ ** Atexrs\r
+ What about the bug I've had for years on gnome where alt tabbing\r
+ causes the games aspect ratio and resolution to get fucked up.\r
+\r
+ ** jensreuterberg\r
+ Never had that problem myself, is it only on GNOME? And do\r
+ you set resolution in like launch options?\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** gandalfx\r
+ The comment symbolizes everything I hate about the CSGO\r
+ community: Always complaining. Valve could do nothing even a\r
+ fraction as horrible as the constant bitching of people who\r
+ want everything different but nothing changed.\r
+\r
+ ** headless_cyborg\r
+ I like every CSGO update, it always makes something\r
+ better. I don't think I ever had a reason to complain. The\r
+ best update was adding Linux support in 2014 of course :)\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** jensreuterberg\r
+ Or obsessing about gambling and pro teams or pro's doing\r
+ things you'd expect pro's would do instead of talking\r
+ about the game, tactics etc.\r
+\r
+\r
+ ** 5had0w5talk3r\r
+ Man, fuck you. You don't know me or my positions. All I've\r
+ ever wanted was for Valve to stop regressing tech used in\r
+ their games in the name of "competitive balance". Before\r
+ you know it the game is going to be nothing but a\r
+ glorified 1.6. Bring proper physics simulation back to\r
+ games!\r
+\r
+ ** Leopard1907\r
+ Positions?!\r
+ That is just a fucking game , what kind of position a\r
+ game can put you in?\r
+\r
+ ** 5had0w5talk3r\r
+ Your position on aspects of the game (things you\r
+ like/dislike about and why). He's the one who\r
+ bundled me in with his strawman, anyway. I don't\r
+ understand why I'm getting shat on for saying I\r
+ don't like the direction GO took CS in. It's just an\r
+ opinion.\r
+\r
+ ** Leopard1907\r
+ Of course it is an opinion and i respect it.\r
+ However saying someone to fuck you because of a\r
+ game is absurd.\r
+\r
+ ** 5had0w5talk3r\r
+ His attitude was completely abrasive. I don't\r
+ like being shat on because I said I dislike\r
+ his favourite game.\r
+\r
+\r

+ proper physics simulation\r
+ For trolls who want to cover the bomb with a barrel?\r
+\r
+ ** 5had0w5talk3r\r
+ That was throwing the baby out with the bath water.\r
+ There's a million and one was to fix the problem:\r
+ make the bomb collideable with physics objects only,\r
+ improve placement of physics objects, make the bomb\r
+ LED glow through physics objects, etc. Instead Valve\r
+ took the easy shitty path that makes the game less\r
+ immersive.\r
+ Besides, realistically, what are the chances that\r
+ you can hide the bomb in a competitive match? You\r
+ have 1:55min to take a site and plant the bomb, with\r
+ 40sec to try to hide the bomb while (likely) down on\r
+ men and defend the site against enemies who are\r
+ going to be rushing you very soon. It's just not a\r
+ realistic scenario.\r
+ Games in general barely have any physics simulation\r
+ at all compared to games from 10-15 years ago, which\r
+ is deeply saddening and really ruins the immersion\r
+ into the game world. A more accurate simulation of\r
+ the world makes the game more realistic, thus more\r
+ immersive, thus more fun.\r
