[OPERATION VANGUARD] – Operation Vanguard has come to a close. [MAP GROUPS] – Train has been added to the Active Duty map pool. – Nuke has been moved to the Reserve map pool. [GAMEPLAY] – Smoke grenades are now more reliably kept track of on the client to prevent mismatches between smoke particle visuals and screen overlay visuals. – Fixed players being able to double stack inside a smoke to peek out of the top (and be really hard to see from outside the smoke). – Updated expiration of the smoke screen overlay to match more closely to the visuals of when the third person particles expire and vice versa. – Updated the vertical position slightly of the smoke particles to reduce seeing though edges of the smoke (particularly at the bottom). – Fixed spectator sometimes not getting the smoke overlay for the player they are spectating when that alive player is inside smoke. – Improved spawnpoint selection code to not spawn at occupied spawn points or spawn points of a different team. – Tagging values have been tweaked slightly to increase tagging on higher mobility weapons, and updated values for tagging on multiple hits to make it more effective (Added a guide to explain how tagging works: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412879303 – Increased price of the M4A1-Silencer from 3100 to 3200 to align the weapon’s price with its utility. – Increased Tec-9’s damage fall-off to reward players that close engagement distance. – Lowered Tec-9’s magazine size to 24 to reward more discriminate firing. – Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers. – The accuracy of the MP9, MP7, and Mac-10 have been improved. [STATRAK] – Trade up contracts work on StatTrak weapons. – There is now a StatTrak swap tool available for purchase. It swaps the StatTrak value between two of the same weapon. [SERVER BROWSER] – Fixed the server browser showing the map workshop path in the “Map” column. – Added a sortable column to the server browser to display whether a server is running a map from the workshop or not. – Added a sortable column to the server broswer that displays icons for popular game mods running on that server. – Server browser will save the layout changes made between game sessions. – Updated the first time server browser pop up message. [UI] – Fixed scoreboard hiding at match end when you bring up a player’s Steam profile. – Added a game option in team options section to control whether lobbies get created with public access or private requiring invites for friends. – Added Flavor Text to the Bank collection. [MISC] – Add surround sound support (quad/5.1) on Linux. – Marked nav commands as a cheat to protect against potential server exploits. – Chicken kills are now logged in CS event logs on game servers including attacker and weapon information. – HE grenade detonations are now logged in CS event logs prior to logging player deaths from corresponding HE grenade explosion. – Added sv_reliableavatardata 2 game server setting for LAN tournaments production. In this mode the game server will load player avatars from corresponding csgo/avatars/76512345678-.rgb files (or csgo/avatars/default.rgb if the corresponding SteamID avatar is missing), and avatars will be recorded in GOTV demos. To produce avatars rgb files tournament operators can place 64×64 png player avatars as csgo/avatars/76512345678-.png and run the client-side command cl_avatar_convert_rgb to convert all 64×64 png files into rgb format. – Optimized the process of logging in players to matchmaking backend during game updates.
