A new update has been shipped to CSGO today, and it aims to fix the game-breaking exploit on Engage along with some other miscellaneous changes.
The exploit on Engage, as we had reported earlier, could be executed by three or more terrorists to instantly crash their CSGO clients. When playing on the T-side of Engage, if three players simultaneously used the new ‘Ping’ function on the rotating car near the T-spawn, the CSGO client instantly crashes for all of the players involved.
When managed to execute properly, players would see their game freezing for a couple of seconds before eventually showing an error message that the application had stopped responding.
The December 7th CSGO update has finally fixed this exploit after repeated complaints from fans.
