Counter strike: GO

[HellsJester]

The funniest thing happend.
As soon as i loaded up Guild Wars 2 for the beta weekend i got a message from Steam saying i got into the CS GO beta. It was like Valve knew i was gonna play GW2 and tried to stop me with CS GO.

There was an update on Friday which "fixed" demo playback but unfortunately it doesnt fix it for the majority of the gameplay that matters i.e classic styles.
This bug doesn't affect demolition or arms race.
the bug consists of turning the screen black and white also blurred when you enter the buy menu.

Audio:

Bug Fixes:

• Fix for instances of "Round draw" voice over playing between matches.
• Fixed some ducking pops that would happen when toggling duck during ducking / unducking.

Miscellaneous:
• First round of mostly PC specific CSM optimizations that improve perf. on all CSM quality levels:
- Optimized the core CSM shader to use fewer ALU instructions (VERY_LOW/LOW=21% faster, MEDIUM quality level=10% faster, HIGH=8% faster).
- Coaxed the HLSL compiler to [flatten] several important conditionals it was sometimes issuing dynamic jumps for.
- The VERY_LOW and LOW quality levels use a single 3D radial lerp vs. the previous 2D+3D lerp
- VERY_LOW/LOW only use 2 world cascades vs. the previous 3. At VERY_LOW/LOW quality levels only vertexlit and phong where actually using the closest cascade (for better character self shadowing), so world shadow quality is mostly unaffected by this change.
- Also adding a bunch of CSM culling statistics (displayed at the bottom of the screen when cl_csm_debug_2d is 1).
- dust2 timedemo avg. FPS results on a NV 6800/Core2 2.4 GHz at VERY_LOW improved by 13% (higher quality settings also see an improvement).

Yes the enemies are bots.

Cross Platform Play has been dropped right?

Cross Platform Play has been dropped right?

Yes something to do with keeping the game up to date. PC version will get regular quick bug fix updates but other versions might not be so often.

[gangsta_795]

Yeah I didn't think that would happen. The fan base on PC is obviously huge compared to consoles (which doesn't exactly exist).

Tbh I don't think GO will be accepted by console gamers

An update was released a couple of hours ago


They added support for old X1000 series ATI cards which is nice still means my x850XT from 2005 will probably not work.
