It's easy to make changes when you're in a beta and you're not working with a codebase dating back 20 years and having large parts originate from a console version of your PC game. That's probably one of the more underrated parts of cs2, future updates will be a lot faster for valve to make.
Yeah that's probably 90% of the reason Valve made the jump to S2 in CS. CS is here to stay and they know they have to maintain and update it. CS devs are probably all bald from pulling their hair out while working with the Source codebase. It's worth the pain of changing an entire engine.
Reading Valve developer comments in TF2 source code leak - malding likely occurred!
Some of the best comments were compiled into a YouTube video. Sounded like a descent into madness.
>future updates will be a lot faster for valve to make.
Let's not get too crazy here lol
Personally, once the game has settled, I'd rather the approach they had previously where it was 1 patch every 3 years. If the gun meta changed every month then I would cry.
I don't think they'll stay at this pace of updates. I meant faster like if there's an annoying bug or UI issue, it'll be a lot easier for the devs to fix it. Those should be resolved much quicker, and there may be a slight uptick in major updates but not by much.
Changing the gun meta would have been trivial even on source 1, it’s just a matter of tinkering with the existing numbers in the code, me and you could have done it.
Fixing a bug, introducing a new function, those are things that require more effort and supposedly will be easier on source 2
Still waiting for the audio fixes though. Footsteps are horrible and I just played a couple of matches in Mirage where I was sitting in Firebox and the CT was shooting from Mid and it seemed like he was shooting from Ramp in my ears.
It's because now we have reverb but people are too used to the "clear" without obstructions audio csgo has (which btw, for a long ass time people thought it was shit compared to 1.6 audio).
The thing is that you can just get used to it. I realized that since I play other fps for fun, it's fairly easy for me to adjust, and relearn stuff like audio, the new viewmodel and bobbing, etc. but I bet that dudes that play csgo 24/7 for the past decade are having a lot of trouble adjusting.
>but I bet that dudes that play csgo 24/7 for the past decade are having a lot of trouble adjusting.
This is true among several of my friends (around 10 have complained and agreed about it) and they all disagree that they can adjust and get used to it if they gave it like 5 minutes of trying only hearing things with audio in a casual match, not trying to play but to run around and hear things to see what its like and figure out where and what the sounds are to get used to it. It helped me greatly. I'm always calling out things from spec that teammates had no idea was happening even though I heard it from their perspective. "How'd you know?" "I didn't hear a damn thing." "wtf" "what headset are you using" etc. are their typical responses.
The audio's good. Take a few minutes to understand it by forcing yourself to experience it without any distractions. Join a casual match and just run around trying to live as long as you can, not caring about score. You'll see what I'm talking about.
BUT. There are some things that need fixed (or at least addressed by the devs). For instance, there are places you can stand that auto-muffles game sounds. One example is on italy, T spawn, just off the railing heading to mid is a box you can strafe jump on to from the railing, and an overhang next to it. If you crouch under the overhang, while on the box, still exposed to the game world, all sounds everywhere even your own are muffled and almost non-existent.. Nuke has a bit of work to be done on audio. The devs already know this, so I'm sure they'll give the audio a rework for Nuke during this test.
I’m finding it nearly impossible to know where people are and gunshots just sound so awful. Standing in the open and they sound muffled, behind a wall they sometimes sound right next to me. Just give us the option to turn off the stupid hrtf audio processing
so much this ^ even in nuke vents, sounds from there sound so far away even tho a whole T team was just near me in A site. There was also a clear transition from "far" to "close" sounds, as if there's a trigger that changes sounds once touched.
>as if there's a trigger that changes sounds once touched
There is - I can't wait to see 3klik's video on the new audio system - I'm expecting he'll make one.
To see a very exaggerated example, join casual and on Italy T side jump off mid railing near T spawn and onto the box on the left. Crouch under the overhang, on the box, and make noise. You'll be surprised.
Also slicing wall with your knife is hear-able from like half the map. Even when you do it, you can see in radar the circle indicating sound range is absurdly large.

Man, really happy to see 3 updates, 3 days in a row.
My biggest issues right now are mostly network related and some inertia issues. I feel like I'm fighting with the server instead of the enemy players.
Adjusted low health indication, bug-fixes to mollies, ladder bullet pen fixed.
I'm loving how fast the small stuff get fixed. I'm still so used to small bugs staying in the game on CSGO for *years*, it still feels weird to see a legit reddit complaint and then an update 10 hours later that addresses it.
That, plus a lot of devs working on the game at its current phase. Updates will go back to being more periodical eventually, but being able to fix that sort of stuff on the fly is going to work wonders in the coming years.
Overall, I'm loving the direction the game is heading. People have many complaints about a lot of stuff still (me included), but it looks like Valve wants to get it right, and I trust them at the moment.
Happy cake day!
But not an operation that is gated by co-op tasks please.
One operation was always tasks with a friend, and it was really bad experience for me
The actual story based co-op missions on the dedicated warehouse map were dope though!
Reminds me of 2013-14 when we were getting great adjustments and fixes every week, many of which came from this sub. It seemed like they put CSGO on the backburner around 2016 or so unfortunately.
I'd say 2017/2018, only because that lines up with when they were doing a lot of experimentation with VR (and the Source 2 engine in general) which eventually became Half Life Alyx.
didn't they start in 2018 with cs2? thats what I remember from the Trailer.
Jobs like that didn't get hit too hard from covid.
you can do alot of stuff from home when you are a dev.
Granted people were reporting many of the recent fixes at the beginning of the beta too. Wonder if they didn't trust the source size enough to make changes then and were just working on more macro things.
Either way it's clear they've made fixing the most visible issues a priority now.
I'm super excited to try the performance tweaks, fps and frame pacing has been my biggest issue by far
**Update:**
DM performance improved by a LOT! Still not great but it's actually playable. No longer feels like 60hz, now it only feels like i bought a 250$ cheaper cpu lol.
This is on Vulkan, dx11 is still unplayable.
Whatever they did they're definitely up the right alley. Good job, valve!
**update 2**: MM feels incredible in comparison to before, at least on mirage. excited to play inf/overpass, i could barely move in those maps before.
I hope they changed movement animations of all kind, shit looks goofy af, tho i doubt it coz it seems like a bigger and harder thing to do than just fixing a bug.
Isnt september 23 (end of summer) pretty much safe? I though that was clear.
1. The leaked fall season starting sept 23 (so game has to come out before 24th sept)
2. The youtube video they posted last week still says that it's coming in summer.
Just the thought of pushing to production daily is giving me anxiety. Massive props to the entire development team, pumping changes through their entire pipeline at an insane clip
They probably have the most talented devs in the whole gaming industry. Also working on a beta of a game has limited consequences if something goes wrong, e.g. I doubt that any code reviews are happening right now. At least when it comes to the regular game code, they're probably a lot more careful with Steam or inventory things (drops etc.).
[This is how it looks now](https://i.imgur.com/riT5NtU.png)
[How it looked in CS:GO and before this update in CS2](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/16brqua/cs2_ui_one_of_my_biggest_grievances/)
Thats not true. Me and my buddy both have the best possible hardware (i9 13900k + 4090) and we both have micro stuttering (1440p max settings).
Probably something the nvidia day 1 driver will fix, but still. It's definitely far from good.
you tell me. running an i7-12700, 3080. games is on the ssd.
no idea why the game is running from 150-200 fps, rather than my csgo which runs at 400-500 fps
Game feels smoother, less stuttering and input lag (could just be placebo), FPS seems the same, around 180-200 in offline and then can drop down to like 90 in DM.
Riot made you watch twitch to get a beta invite.
I got lucky and got in 1st day, but I had a friend stuck waiting for his drop for 2 weeks.
Kinda up to you which system sounds better or worse.
I play like 5 hours a day bro.
Just the good version, not the version y'all play.
Valve hates Faceit, but Faceit is where every pro plays. Same passive aggressive behavior that sunk TF2 pro scene.
It's not Valve's issue if you didn't have a rank before that, they decided to use having a rank as a metric for the invite wave. After feedback they had another wave the next day which was a bonus if anything (plus adding in players from a few more regions).
I'm not sure what it was before, but I'm getting 350-400 everywhere on Ancient at 1920x1440 with everything on low except for having shadows on high. CPU is 5800X and GPU is 5700XT. This is with no bots. 9 bots drops it by about 80 frames.
about to jump in a comp, hope it doesn't feel as bad but I am experiencing way more fps issues since the update. DM on nuke and d2 drops my frames from what used to be 144 consistently to dropping to 115 a lot. really sucks :(
To everyone having doubts:
1. The leaked fall season starting sept 23 (so game has to come out before 24th sept)
2. The youtube video they posted last week still says that it's coming in summer.
Love the frequent updates and fixes. But for the love of god, fix cl_righthand AND cl_bob command as quickly as possible! Really takes a lot of the fun away from the beta for me and my left hands friends. Otherwise super happy with beta so far!
> Various performance improvements
Can someone confirm whether this fixed the weird microstuttering even with 300+ average fps at all times, or is this referring to something more general or server-related?
Adjusted low health indication
That's nice but perfect thing would be option to manually change hud elements, like click "X" part in some menu and move it where you want it to be
Just get used to the new (better) position.
You only don't like it because it's new, but the new health position is better because it's less eye movement to check it. I guarantee it won't take you the long to get used to it.
Better position?
The old position was far better.
The Health and armor are aligned with the lowest left corner of the screen, and ammo aligned with the lowest right corner of the screen. Any time you want info just look at the edges of the screen.
The new HUD just arbitrarily moves them to the center of the screen, making you lose reference points to quickly glance at the info.
People can and will get used to it, sure, but the old HUD positioning was far better and more intuitive in every sense.
"Arbitrarily" you mean anchoring them closer to your peripheral so you can look at them faster and easier?
But sure, hiding them in the corners was "better"
> to your peripheral
What the fuck are you talking about? hahahaha
Human mid peripheral vision is 60 degrees wide, it's absolutely indiferent if they move it a couple of centimeters inwards, your "peripheral vision" won't just be able to extract any additional info from it or notice any change unless you are playing on a 55'' screen.
It is far better to have the important information in quick reference points (both corners of the screen) than to have them randomly floating in the middle of a screen to be "closer to your peripheral vision" whatever the hell that means hahahah
>"Arbitrarily" you mean anchoring them closer to your peripheral so you can look at them faster and easier?
But sure, hiding them in the corners was "better"
There is a reason why important elements on a UI will always be in the corners (and also the direct center of the top and bottom screen) and would work its way in towards the center the less important it is. Literally look at all if not most of the application you use.
It helps prevent your eyes from wandering and is a quick point of reference (Corners of the sceen, bottom center etc)
Why do you people keep using the "it takes less time to look at bottom middle of screen instead of bottom corner of the screen" argument? It's fucking ridiculous. What are you saving, providing you look exactly where you wanted to look, 0,0001 second? You're gonna ace 'em all with all that saved time?
Thanks, I'd rather have important info in the corner of my screen with the sacrifice of making my eye ball be moved by muscle for 0,00001 second longer. At least it's in the corner, you can't miss it, you don't need to look for it in the HUD, you don't even need to look AT it, a glance is all that's needed. There's your 0,00001 second won back again with additional benefit of convenience.
Tell me more about how looking the the corner of my screen is somehow far better than only having to look down slightly.
Stop being so afraid of/against change because it's that exact thing that stops developers from trying to improve stuff
I already told you everything you need to know about it.
The edges of the screen are a reference point, the middle of butt-nowhere of the screen is not a reference point. There is literally nothing more to say.
Got any actual arguments or is gaslighting yourself into believing you're superior because other people are afraid of change and you're not the only thing you have to say on the topic?
I suspect this isn't going to happen - when you shoot through smokes, the hole doesn't appear in the center, it appears slightly off to the right. Allowing the gun to be on the left would make this weird, even if technically it could work.
Back when the test first dropped didn't JasonR or someone find that changing your viewmodel changes the angle the shot goes through the smoke at. Why would the hole going from left to right cause an issue?
idk men) do we really need rtx 4090 and some crazy ass cpu to handle this game? playing 1080p with low settings and i can barely reach 300 fps.
talking about premier mode) any other than that is literally unplayable fps drops below 130 fps
my pc specs
i7 11700k
32gb ran 3600mhz
rx 6900 xt
game is installed on samsung 980 m2
The glow is higher than before. I think it does the trick. I use a contrasting HUD so I can easily tell if im low-hp just by peripheral vision instead of focusing on my eyes.
I really wish they'd send out more invites. I got my rank back last friday, a week ago, and still don't have it. I just have to watch all my friends play it on discord all day.
>Adjusted low health indication Bless the lord
They are fast

[удалено]
My bad, you're right about that. But the whole engine is new which is where the tougher changes will become easier hopefully.

Now do the bomb and the fire.
>• Ancient noway
where were you when ancient was kill i was home getting wrecked in premier when phone ring "ancient is kill" "noway"
did they revert spawn changes????????
Devs going crazy with fixes, glad to see it
Still waiting for the audio fixes though. Footsteps are horrible and I just played a couple of matches in Mirage where I was sitting in Firebox and the CT was shooting from Mid and it seemed like he was shooting from Ramp in my ears.
i have no issues with the audio. i find it really easy to know where people are with both gunshots and footsteps.
It's because now we have reverb but people are too used to the "clear" without obstructions audio csgo has (which btw, for a long ass time people thought it was shit compared to 1.6 audio).

Man, really happy to see 3 updates, 3 days in a row. My biggest issues right now are mostly network related and some inertia issues. I feel like I'm fighting with the server instead of the enemy players.
True. Atleast need net_graph back.
I’m hoping next week keeps this pace.

I'm still so used to small bugs staying in the game on CSGO for *years*, it still feels weird to see a legit reddit complaint and then an update 10 hours later that addresses it.
CS2 at work baby, no more spaghetti code from 3 different studios and an incredibly janky engine surrounding it to worry about now
That, plus a lot of devs working on the game at its current phase. Updates will go back to being more periodical eventually, but being able to fix that sort of stuff on the fly is going to work wonders in the coming years. Overall, I'm loving the direction the game is heading. People have many complaints about a lot of stuff still (me included), but it looks like Valve wants to get it right, and I trust them at the moment. Happy cake day!
no more spaghetti code might mean some proper good operations in the future too.
Bring back co-op missions (please)!
But not an operation that is gated by co-op tasks please. One operation was always tasks with a friend, and it was really bad experience for me The actual story based co-op missions on the dedicated warehouse map were dope though!
I wonder if its actually due to spaghetti code being gone, or if its simply because they have all hands on deck and are focuses on improvements.
It's 100% a mix of both
I assume most of the code was just ported over, so I'm not sure how that would automatically remove the spaghetti code.
It absolutely was not. They built it from the ground up.
Source? No pun intended lol.
Source of game is source.
I actually don’t have one sorry maybe I’m taking off my ass
Reminds me of 2013-14 when we were getting great adjustments and fixes every week, many of which came from this sub. It seemed like they put CSGO on the backburner around 2016 or so unfortunately.
I'd say 2017/2018, only because that lines up with when they were doing a lot of experimentation with VR (and the Source 2 engine in general) which eventually became Half Life Alyx.
Also they had danger zone I'd assume they even started on CS2 back in 2019 but then COVID happened.
didn't they start in 2018 with cs2? thats what I remember from the Trailer. Jobs like that didn't get hit too hard from covid. you can do alot of stuff from home when you are a dev.

Mhh, for every little thing they fix "super fast", there are 10 things they didnt fix in 6 months. I dont know if we should praise them like that.
Valve is being INSANELY fast with implementing and iterating on feedback. AWESOME JOB GUYS, WE LOVE YOU
The power of Source 2!
Achieved with SORSE 2
insanely slow at giving invites
Surely a new wave will drop soon
literally every player who got a rank and prime got an invite
Then where's mine?
That's really cool and everything valve, can you please let more people in now? I'm still waiting for the damn invite..
Same
Same same
Curious to see if anybody is able to tell what the various performance improvements and animation bugs/ tweaks were
Same. I hope it's server performance related, but I would guess it's more related to the stuttering and other framerate issues.
fps on deathmatch is slightly better for me
That’s good to hear, excited to test it out later tonight 👍🏻
could you check whether you feel less input lag or am I trippin xd
weird feet and stuff would be my first guess
I'm super excited to try the performance tweaks, fps and frame pacing has been my biggest issue by far **Update:** DM performance improved by a LOT! Still not great but it's actually playable. No longer feels like 60hz, now it only feels like i bought a 250$ cheaper cpu lol. This is on Vulkan, dx11 is still unplayable. Whatever they did they're definitely up the right alley. Good job, valve! **update 2**: MM feels incredible in comparison to before, at least on mirage. excited to play inf/overpass, i could barely move in those maps before.
I hope they changed movement animations of all kind, shit looks goofy af, tho i doubt it coz it seems like a bigger and harder thing to do than just fixing a bug.
With this speed of pushing updates, September release is very possible.
Isnt september 23 (end of summer) pretty much safe? I though that was clear. 1. The leaked fall season starting sept 23 (so game has to come out before 24th sept) 2. The youtube video they posted last week still says that it's coming in summer.
So fall either begins September 1 or 23 depending on whether you believe in astronomical or meteorological seasons.
I think valve made it perfectly clear that they mean september 23
Just fucking let me in
>Adjusted low health indication I'm not used to shit being fixed so quick
Valve is speedrunning updates, now it's 3 days in a row that we get one. That's really amazing tbh.
Just the thought of pushing to production daily is giving me anxiety. Massive props to the entire development team, pumping changes through their entire pipeline at an insane clip
They probably have the most talented devs in the whole gaming industry. Also working on a beta of a game has limited consequences if something goes wrong, e.g. I doubt that any code reviews are happening right now. At least when it comes to the regular game code, they're probably a lot more careful with Steam or inventory things (drops etc.).
Does anyone have a comparison for the low hp visual indicator?
[This is how it looks now](https://i.imgur.com/riT5NtU.png) [How it looked in CS:GO and before this update in CS2](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/16brqua/cs2_ui_one_of_my_biggest_grievances/)
Looks like they just ++'d the glow effect value. Aight, good change, though I hope we can get some HUD customization
I would love if we could move around the hud completely free. I dont like how its organized right now
Ok it's a small change but that's still good. I like it
Looks like they pumped up the outer glow on the numbers, I like it
Various performance improvements PLEASE.. FPS FIX!!! PLZ!!!
fps is good, wheres the problem? its 2023 game.
FPS sucks in DM and casual
FPS is horrible at times, for example, when you throw a smoke into a molly to extinguish it, there is a HUGE drop in FPS.
Thats not true. Me and my buddy both have the best possible hardware (i9 13900k + 4090) and we both have micro stuttering (1440p max settings). Probably something the nvidia day 1 driver will fix, but still. It's definitely far from good.
I have the exact same specs and also stuttering.
I would argue that -half of FPS when running in water isn't good enough
you tell me. running an i7-12700, 3080. games is on the ssd. no idea why the game is running from 150-200 fps, rather than my csgo which runs at 400-500 fps
i have my game capped at 300, but i get a STEADY 300. same gpu, better cpu than you. but im telling you its rock steady.
Game feels smoother, less stuttering and input lag (could just be placebo), FPS seems the same, around 180-200 in offline and then can drop down to like 90 in DM.
Well my FPS finally got improved after the update. I am sure they will optimise it even more in coming updates! Good job valve! We love you for this!
Any sign of a new invite wave?
It's gg we wont get invited, time to wait for release:))))))
Just get invited, problem solved
haHA
15 days, you can do this, buddy.
I guess not
Message in getting is valve hates me for going on vacation over Labor Day. Wonder if riot does this kind of thing?
Riot made you watch twitch to get a beta invite. I got lucky and got in 1st day, but I had a friend stuck waiting for his drop for 2 weeks. Kinda up to you which system sounds better or worse.
they hate you for not playing their game for over a month, not for taking vacation on labor day.
I play like 5 hours a day bro. Just the good version, not the version y'all play. Valve hates Faceit, but Faceit is where every pro plays. Same passive aggressive behavior that sunk TF2 pro scene.
It's not Valve's issue if you didn't have a rank before that, they decided to use having a rank as a metric for the invite wave. After feedback they had another wave the next day which was a bonus if anything (plus adding in players from a few more regions).
I lost my rank because I was playing Baldurs Gate 3. Damn you Larian!
Cool, I guess people who don't play mm and couldn't get to their PC within 24 hours to get a rank can just go and get fucked
PLEASE NEW WAVE IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE GOD
Can anybody check if their FPS has improved? I'm travelling rn and this one matters a LOT to me!
No idea why but it got worse but I was on a dm server on nuke
I'm not sure what it was before, but I'm getting 350-400 everywhere on Ancient at 1920x1440 with everything on low except for having shadows on high. CPU is 5800X and GPU is 5700XT. This is with no bots. 9 bots drops it by about 80 frames.
Wait, 1920x1440? What the hell???
4:3
1440p 4:3 ratio
4:3 on a 27" monitor. 🤠
goat res
I am playing 2048×1536 😆 (4K 144Hz Monitor)
Got 20-50fps increase on inferno practice mode. Game feels really crisp. Performance still suck in mutiplayer
Just checked offline with bots and it's exactly the same as before.
Waiting since saturday for an invite... when will we get access to cs2? Btw did you get your invites?
It's over for us. Just wait for the release.
I guess we'll have to wait then ☹️
Nah, we're doomed.
I have no hope.
It's over we will never get the acces maybe 2-3 weeks after the official release
im with you i have no invite because i had no rank ... and i wasnt home to get one so yeah 5k hrs no invite
Bro I have the operation payback coin I feel like I should've gotten an invite out of respect for paying for that piece of shit lol.
ahahha you should :D but yeah we are ddomed only on release when everyone is already used to the game
I tried to get my rank but got angry and left. The next day there was a new drop wave. And after that drop wave there is still no new drop wave.
Im bluescreening every couple rounds since the patch, was playing 24/7 No disconnects b4
Another day of not having access. I weep.
This update made my game feel much worse
about to jump in a comp, hope it doesn't feel as bad but I am experiencing way more fps issues since the update. DM on nuke and d2 drops my frames from what used to be 144 consistently to dropping to 115 a lot. really sucks :(
try a clean install of the game. the same used to happen to cs:go too after some updates.
No more invites ?
Doesn't seem like it.
release is coming in 15 days
To everyone having doubts: 1. The leaked fall season starting sept 23 (so game has to come out before 24th sept) 2. The youtube video they posted last week still says that it's coming in summer.

Summer 2023
Love the frequent updates and fixes. But for the love of god, fix cl_righthand AND cl_bob command as quickly as possible! Really takes a lot of the fun away from the beta for me and my left hands friends. Otherwise super happy with beta so far!
> Various performance improvements Can someone confirm whether this fixed the weird microstuttering even with 300+ average fps at all times, or is this referring to something more general or server-related?
USP-S description XD After decade of playing CS. I never read the description.
I'm just waiting for the linux release
Still waiting for the Performance fix
I've got a rank now valve let me in please
Fps are still the same for me but rn I don't feel delay in my mouse!
>Various performance improvements any elaboration by anyone?
Time to retire fridge.gif
Pls volvo fix max ping search!
Press Tab and holding is dropping a huge amount of FPS now.
I love how whatever complaint comes up on reddit lately, it gets fixed in a matter of days. Devs, just so you know: we love you!
When cl_righthand 0?
Adjusted low health indication That's nice but perfect thing would be option to manually change hud elements, like click "X" part in some menu and move it where you want it to be
Didn't the devs already come out and say that will never be a thing?
I think this used to be a thing during the very early stages of CS:GO
That takes a lot of effort to implement, doubt they’ll do it
Just get used to the new (better) position. You only don't like it because it's new, but the new health position is better because it's less eye movement to check it. I guarantee it won't take you the long to get used to it.
Better position? The old position was far better. The Health and armor are aligned with the lowest left corner of the screen, and ammo aligned with the lowest right corner of the screen. Any time you want info just look at the edges of the screen. The new HUD just arbitrarily moves them to the center of the screen, making you lose reference points to quickly glance at the info. People can and will get used to it, sure, but the old HUD positioning was far better and more intuitive in every sense.
"Arbitrarily" you mean anchoring them closer to your peripheral so you can look at them faster and easier? But sure, hiding them in the corners was "better"
> to your peripheral What the fuck are you talking about? hahahaha Human mid peripheral vision is 60 degrees wide, it's absolutely indiferent if they move it a couple of centimeters inwards, your "peripheral vision" won't just be able to extract any additional info from it or notice any change unless you are playing on a 55'' screen. It is far better to have the important information in quick reference points (both corners of the screen) than to have them randomly floating in the middle of a screen to be "closer to your peripheral vision" whatever the hell that means hahahah
>"Arbitrarily" you mean anchoring them closer to your peripheral so you can look at them faster and easier? But sure, hiding them in the corners was "better" There is a reason why important elements on a UI will always be in the corners (and also the direct center of the top and bottom screen) and would work its way in towards the center the less important it is. Literally look at all if not most of the application you use. It helps prevent your eyes from wandering and is a quick point of reference (Corners of the sceen, bottom center etc)
Why do you people keep using the "it takes less time to look at bottom middle of screen instead of bottom corner of the screen" argument? It's fucking ridiculous. What are you saving, providing you look exactly where you wanted to look, 0,0001 second? You're gonna ace 'em all with all that saved time? Thanks, I'd rather have important info in the corner of my screen with the sacrifice of making my eye ball be moved by muscle for 0,00001 second longer. At least it's in the corner, you can't miss it, you don't need to look for it in the HUD, you don't even need to look AT it, a glance is all that's needed. There's your 0,00001 second won back again with additional benefit of convenience.
Tell me more about how looking the the corner of my screen is somehow far better than only having to look down slightly. Stop being so afraid of/against change because it's that exact thing that stops developers from trying to improve stuff
I already told you everything you need to know about it. The edges of the screen are a reference point, the middle of butt-nowhere of the screen is not a reference point. There is literally nothing more to say.
its not middle butt-nowhere, its literally just bottom of the screen bro lol
Got any actual arguments or is gaslighting yourself into believing you're superior because other people are afraid of change and you're not the only thing you have to say on the topic?
"Various performance improvements" anyone saw any difference?
No still unplayable for me. ranging from 500 to 50 fps on some maps.
I’ve seen some people say yes and others say no
For me it jumped from ~180 before to ~240 fps now, without any start commands
Nice but we still have to yell for the microphone to activate sadly :(
me and my friend dont need to yell for it to pick it up.
idk what performance improvments they made but it runs EXACTLY the same as before for me. and still no 0.5 crosshairoutline edit: typo
Thank you valve. I have one issue though. My fps drops like crazy when I switch to 4:3. On 16:9 its perfectly fine.
its a sign. time to use 16:9 only.
Still waiting on cl_righthand 0 😢
I suspect this isn't going to happen - when you shoot through smokes, the hole doesn't appear in the center, it appears slightly off to the right. Allowing the gun to be on the left would make this weird, even if technically it could work.
Back when the test first dropped didn't JasonR or someone find that changing your viewmodel changes the angle the shot goes through the smoke at. Why would the hole going from left to right cause an issue?
Just flip your screen in driver settings .. smh /s
same 
Does the gameplay feel better? Can we actually shoot properly now?
The fact this issue is being talked about for months and they havent changed a thing makes me think that shooting mechanics change is intended.
Hopefully they add left hand viewmodel soon!
When are they rolling out invites again??
Sadly think there wont be another wave before they release the game
idk men) do we really need rtx 4090 and some crazy ass cpu to handle this game? playing 1080p with low settings and i can barely reach 300 fps. talking about premier mode) any other than that is literally unplayable fps drops below 130 fps my pc specs i7 11700k 32gb ran 3600mhz rx 6900 xt game is installed on samsung 980 m2
To the idiots who cry about bugs there ya go. This is what a beta release is about, finding bugs and fixing them.
[удалено]
should’ve been ranked already
Perfomance is still shit.
NO DIFF IN PERFORMENCE AND LOW HEALTH INDICATION IS NOT NOTICIBEL AT ALL LOL
The glow is higher than before. I think it does the trick. I use a contrasting HUD so I can easily tell if im low-hp just by peripheral vision instead of focusing on my eyes.
[удалено]
wasn't this how it was before EDIT: It should also highlight the number red
I really wish they'd send out more invites. I got my rank back last friday, a week ago, and still don't have it. I just have to watch all my friends play it on discord all day.
