Minor performance optimization for some CPU-bound cases. Follow recoil setting during spectating will now obey spectator target's crosshair setting if target's crosshair is shown. Added support for updating existing map annotations on Steam Workshop. For example use "workshop_annotation_submit 123456" to update your submission ID=123456 found in the workshop URL. Passing an ID that does not belong to you will create a brand new submission. After the first update the ID will get embedded in the annotation file and you can submit more changes without having to provide the ID again.

The authors of the long-in-development Classic Offensive mod for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have <a href="https://x.com/csco_dev/status/1877993047897600241" target="_blank">shared a message to Twitter</a> that it has been rejected from release on Steam and its app retired after eight years of development.

The team behind an incredibly ambitious <strong>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</strong> mod claims that Valve has blocked the project from coming to Steam. The team submitted the mod for release late last year, only to be met with silence, with the project now seemingly rejected by Valve. Called Classic Offensive, the mod has been in the works since 2016 and aims to bring back "the classic feeling" from between CS 1.6 all the way up to CSGO. <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/counter-strike-global-offensive/valve-blocks-mod">Read the rest of the story...</a> RELATED LINKS: <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/best-sniper-games">The best sniper games on PC 2024</a> <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/counter-strike-global-offensive/csgo-ranks-explained-how-to-get-ranked">CSGO ranks 2024 - CS:GO MM ranking explained</a> <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/counter-strike-2/player-count">CS2 has more players than the next top nine Steam games combined</a>

The capsule features autographs for each member of the winning team in paper, glitter, holo, and gold. 50% of the proceeds go to the players and organizations. Adjusted the threshold at which death notice displays attacker as "flashed". Explosions will now more reliably throw weapons around even if multiple weapons are dropped on top of each other. During warmup, weapons will no longer drop on the ground when changing teams. During warmup, changing teams now has a two second cooldown. Added server settings controlling which items drop on the ground during warmup period: mp_warmup_items_drop_policy, mp_warmup_items_nocost, mp_warmup_items_nocount_policy. Community servers that run with free non-droppable weapons during warmup can set these settings as follows: mp_warmup_items_drop_policy 0, mp_warmup_items_nocost 1, mp_warmup_items_nocount_policy 251. Give command will now always drop the held weapon if the given weapon needs an empty primary/secondary weapon slot to be used. For legacy behaviour, which would drop the new weapon on the ground, developers can use "-keep_gear" flag, e.g. give weapon_awp -keep_gear Train Improved collision fidelity on various props Updated and fixed surface types on several props Adjusted wetness levels on some surfaces Fixed various gaps in map Map Guides are now supported in the Steam Workshop for submission and subscription.
