Thanks for posting keefy

[Nuvian]

I did a survey for a key last year, the system was quite bugged back then, it didn't want to register that i did it, did it twice and still no go, eventually i just gave up.

[keefy]

It should launch steam to collect your hardware info and account name if it doesnt then for some reason your system has not associated the steam:// protocol

[keefy]

Beta keys will be given out on tues/Wed to lucky winders that took the survey

I didn't think it was worth creating a thread for this but the developers have released a new Beta update today and also give an explaination of how they work and what is going on.

Anyone has a spare key? I've been waiting for one for a while now and have lost in ever random draw I participated in

[keefy]

Just signed into my Steam accoutn after 2 weeks and look what is waiting.

[BoyBettaKnow]

I completed the survey when I posted this thread and got lucky.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Ah - yeah i didn't bother with that

[keefy]

All the sounds are way too loud so loud it creates distortion on my headphones even if I turn them down. Also when I set the sound to "headphones" when I quit then next play its back to "2 speakers"


Arms race is fun which is identical to gungame.


My PC runs it quite easily and smoothly at 1024x768 all the eye candy on max but with zero AA. I guess with 1080p this card would struggle a bit.

Demo playback seems broken though otherwise I would have made a video no way I am recording video while gaming.

[keefy]

Just found out I can gift a beta key to someone who wants it?

[BoyBettaKnow]

I'll take one if it's going


BBK. Tapatalking.

[keefy]

[BoyBettaKnow]

[keefy]

Just came accross this about heat maps looks like a useful thing for finding out where all the best camp and snipe spots are among other things.

Also in an older post there is info about hitboxes you knwo that thing so many people complain about these days.

CS:Source hitboxes are insanely large especially the chest and head, compare them to the new CS:GO hitboxes.

i lost my key when i done survey...what should i do now?

[keefy]

It should be in your steam account if you have one, I logged in and CS:GO was already added to it.

Me wants a key

[keefy]

The biggest tthing that makes this game look abosutely dated and retarded is the Ladder animations, there are none CS:Source is the same but that released in 2004 today is 2012.

Release notes for 4/27 Beta 12

Gameplay:

• Dead players no longer can see bomb or defuse icons on scoreboard for opposing team members.

• The Movement acceleration and stopspeed values have been lowered per pro feedback.
• Slightly increased the variance of the recoil patterns.
– Updated the recoil pattern for the ak47.
• Adjusted the recoil suppression parameters to help tune burst fire.
• Fixed an issue which was causing thrown weapons to emit from the base of players, rather than their hands. Gifted weapons will now correctly throw the proper distance.

UI:
• Hooked up the win panel for arsenal mode to put emphasis on the winner and runners up.
• The next weapon text in AR now displays appropriate text for the mode and state.
• Fixed the alert for when you reach gold knife level showing up when anyone reached it.
• When you get a point for an assist, it shows in the death message.

Models:
• Fixed clipping issue on Terrorist skin with head wrap.
• Fix for Sawed-off where bolt was sticking through the back of the housing during fire and reload animations.

Audio:
• Trimmed up ambient content for Nuke, Bank, Train and Sugarcane and made adjustments to the script in Bank (balancing levels and adding some light breeze to match the trees) and a few updated references in Nuke, Train and Sugarcane.
• Dust ambient optimization.
• Shoots ambient optimizations
• Lake and Safehouse ambient optimizations.
• Italy ambient optimizations. Fixed a doorway where a player could move outdoors and still have the indoors ambience.
• Baggage ambient revision and optimization.

Effects:
• Snow effects have been greatly optimized. Snow in Office runs 7x faster than before.

Bug Fixes:
• Fixed crash when in the Buy menu, then voted yes to change maps.
• Fixed noticeable double round start in Arms Race when the first player entered the server/game.
• Fixed shadows being cast by vgui screens ( mainly the bomb plant numbers in game ).
• Fix for a bug where dropping the Famas in certain points in de_dust would cause the weapon to sink into the ground.

Miscellaneous:
• Relaxing the supported video card checks:
– Display an error and exit if the card doesn’t support shader model 3, bilinear PCF sampling, or cascaded shadow mapping. (No cards are actually marked as not supporting CSM in CS:GO.) So our minimal GPU is now the NVidia 6xxx series (2005), or ATI HD 2xxx (2006) or better.)

This is one of the few FPS games I'm looking forward to this year, there are sadly too few games being released today without iron sights.
