+ +GAMEPLAY
+ +-
+
- Updated FBI character models have been deployed to Nuke, Agency, and Office. +

SERVERS
+ +-
+
- This update includes an updated version of steamclient.so for Linux dedicated servers which has multiple threading and integration fixes. For a limited time and old version of steamclient.so can still be used on CS:GO Linux dedicated servers. +
MISC
+ +-

- Updated alpha channels on the SSG 08 and Mac-10 in the new 2018 Inferno collection. +
- Fixed rare cases where audio device configuration will not save properly. +
- Fixed the Beartooth Music Kit to respect MVP music volume. +
PANORAMA
+ +-
+

- Added support for DDS encoded PNG files. +
MAPS
+ +Nuke:
+ +-
+
- Made corridor leading to ramp room from T side slightly wider +
- Moved doors connected to trophy room slightly +
- Changed CT team to FBI +
Train:
+ +-
+
- Removed angled pieces on bombtrain in A site +
- Improved player collision on bombtrain in A site +
- Added grenade collision to ceiling of heaven in A site +
Office:
+ +-
+
- Made windows fully breakable instead of partially +
- Fixed snowmanâs hat not falling off when getting shot in the snow-head. +
- Smoothed out movement on stairs +
- Widened openings by CT spawn and truck in garage +
- Moved some furniture in T spawn +
- Fixed some minor graphical glitches +
- Tweaked lighting in CT spawn +
Rumor has it:
+ +-

In case you didn't believe Valve about stacking teammates in casual, mp_solid_teammates has been switched to 2 - have fun boosting your teammates (literally!)
+Now that the FACEIT Major has finished, the default landing page on the Watch tab has been adjusted to the global live matches tab. But if you sign up within the next 4 minutes, you get James White's Best Christmas Songs, and a watermelon signed by Dan Black for free!
+Speaking of the FACEIT Major, the in-game Champion and Finalist trophies have been updated. Inscribed into CS:GO history on the Champion trophy is Astralis and their squad, and inscribed on the Quarter-/Semi-/Finalist trophy are the names of the teams that advanced to the main event (the latter of which is awarded individually based on how far they got and named accordingly)
+ +-
+
- If you go to a pro profile and inspect one of these trophies, you may notice a slight problem now that we're in a post-Scaleform world: you can't spin the trophy around completely to read everything on it (in Scaleform, it did so on its own), and in some situations the text on trophies can be hard to read (in Scaleform, the inspection periodically zoomed in and out) +
- Here's an even bigger problem than that: can you spot what's wrong with the Champion trophy? +
+This is the first time that Office has gotten an update since 5/29/15 (5/30/15 UTC), or 1223 days. The last time it was updated, it was to fix a bad nav mesh spot
+Otherwise, it's a bunch of script updates to accommodate the new FBI CT models and localization
+ +-
+
- Oh, one other thing, not that Source 2 might be a certainty anytime soon, Source 2-style dates/times have been added to the csgo_english file +
+Size is ~120 MB

They still didnât fix fastdownload from community servers...
You know the workaround? Itâs easy to use, but itâs just beyond me that valve hasnât just spent five minutes fixing this
Itâs painless to use I am out and about so Iâll forget to find a link but it is shared in one of the github bug tracker page for that isseu
This update almost made me want to reinstall but I'll wait until this is fixed
Oddly there is a workaround created by a guy that makes cheats for csgo
I've used that before but it's a little bit pathetic this bug hasn't been fixed after 4+ years
This is great news! It finally fixes the bug where one core was stuck at 100% all the time.
I had like 60 average fps(ulletical's benchmark map) on Scaleform,and panorama was on 45 av.fps.After this patch,i'm hitting constant 60 fps.
I just switched from windows to Linux and have only 100FPS (240 before) on CSGO. Any idea what Iâm doing wrong ? I use an Optimus laptop with the latest nvidia driver and bumblebee.
Make sure compositing is turned off before launching cs. Should do it automatically.
Make sure you have the latest driver.
Optimus shouldn't have such a large perf hit so maybe not that.
Possibly your CPU isn't boosting as much under Linux. Cs is very CPU based so having high individual core counts can help heaps.
I will try this tonight, thank you. It is definitely not a CPU issue (Razer Blade 2018 with six physical cores).
In fact I was wondering if my laptop was using the Nvidia card or the Intel IGP, as 100FPS when playing CS with the lowest settings in 1024x768 should not be possible with a GTX1060.
Individual core speeds are more important, but 100fps is still pretty low so you're probably right there.
But yeah if Optimus isn't working properly that sounds like a reasonable reason.
Do you know any way to check which card is being used while playing ?
I hope so, Performance really suffered with the Panorama update.
Any tips for improving performance in Linux?
I have Ryzen 1600 @3.75Ghz.
I used to get between 250-350fps in competitive. Using Linux that drops down to 120-200fps
Currently using -high as a launch option and setting the CPU Guvnor in Terminal to performance
Still getting less performance than windows but this is significantly better than what it used to be for me. Maps used to have big fps drops and now its a lot smoother.
What about the bug I've had for years on gnome where alt tabbing causes the games aspect ratio and resolution to get fucked up.
Never had that problem myself, is it only on GNOME? And do you set resolution in like launch options?
I like every CSGO update, it always makes something better. I don't think I ever had a reason to complain. The best update was adding Linux support in 2014 of course :)
Or obsessing about gambling and pro teams or pro's doing things you'd expect pro's would do instead of talking about the game, tactics etc.
Man, fuck you. You don't know me or my positions. All I've ever wanted was for Valve to stop regressing tech used in their games in the name of "competitive balance". Before you know it the game is going to be nothing but a glorified 1.6. Bring proper physics simulation back to games!
Positions?!
That is just a fucking game , what kind of position a game can put you in?
Your position on aspects of the game (things you like/dislike about and why). He's the one who bundled me in with his strawman, anyway. I don't understand why I'm getting shat on for saying I don't like the direction GO took CS in. It's just an opinion.
Of course it is an opinion and i respect it.
However saying someone to fuck you because of a game is absurd.
His attitude was completely abrasive. I don't like being shat on because I said I dislike his favourite game.
proper physics simulation
For trolls who want to cover the bomb with a barrel?
That was throwing the baby out with the bath water. There's a million and one was to fix the problem: make the bomb collideable with physics objects only, improve placement of physics objects, make the bomb LED glow through physics objects, etc. Instead Valve took the easy shitty path that makes the game less immersive.
Besides, realistically, what are the chances that you can hide the bomb in a competitive match? You have 1:55min to take a site and plant the bomb, with 40sec to try to hide the bomb while (likely) down on men and defend the site against enemies who are going to be rushing you very soon. It's just not a realistic scenario.
Games in general barely have any physics simulation at all compared to games from 10-15 years ago, which is deeply saddening and really ruins the immersion into the game world. A more accurate simulation of the world makes the game more realistic, thus more immersive, thus more fun.
