October 30, 2024
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.
October 29, 2024
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.

October 28, 2024
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.
October 24, 2024
Misc
- Fixed a bug where grenades were generating headshot sounds.
- Fixed a bug where grenades were not bouncing off certain dynamic props.

- Added an option to apply albedo color correction to transmissive foliage textures, and adjusted the foliage shader for more accurate color correction.

- Various stability improvements.
UI
- Fixed UI checkboxes behaving inconsistently when depositing or extracting a large number of items into and from Storage Units.
