CS2 Update removes single-vote surrenders

Having undergone a long beta program, many kinks remain, and developers have been acting fast to iron them out before professional tournaments transition from CSGO. The latest update aims to fix the single-vote surrenders that many believe to be disruptive in nature towards the game.

Single Vote surrender had the community divided right from the get-go. In the latest update, the developers have addressed the issue by removing the ability to surrender off the back of a single vote. Now it takes the majority to vote in order to surrender a game across all modes.

Good news for players with AMD Video cards, the latest driver will fix the shader compilation issues that remained persistent from the Beta version. Grab the latest driver for your AMD GPU from the official website and that will fix all issues pertaining to your video card along with black screenshots and video captures.

Besides all the changes, CS2 will receive several minor changes across the board to fix the lesser-known issues like bugs and animation glitches. Maps like Nuke, Vertigo, Anubis, and Overpass will also receive minor tweaks and bug fixes.
