A new gameplay update has been shipped to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by Valve, and it brings with it a bunch of new changes to the competitive shooter alongside some much-needed bug fixes.
These changes include minor updates to several maps in the title like Cache, Mocha, Grind, and the new Active Duty map Ancient.
Other than the map changes, the annoying deathmatch bug where players would spam the buy key to gain invulnerability has also been fixed.
Here are the patch notes of today’s update, as found in the official CSGO blog here:
[ MISC ]
– Added option ‘2’ to sv_damage_print_enable, which, when set, will only print damage output after round has ended.
– Coach positions are now saved in round backup files.
– In Deathmatch, fixed the ability to extend invulnerability by repeatedly issuing the “open_buymenu” command.
– In Retakes, armor value now remains fixed during card selection.
[ VSCRIPT ]
– Fixed bounding box issue for rotated entities.
