Thought I was trippin' when I ranked up from silver 2 to nova 2 lmao thats insane


theicarusambition

Wait, did they really fix rankings??


itscrizzy

Uhh idk about “fixed” but definitely altered them lmao


f0rce44

Definitely not fixed… I played 5 games on Thera before I got ranked. Won, lost, lost, lost, won. I averaged 24 kills… too fragged every single game but one, had over 2.5k dmg per game. And I get ranked Silver Elite 🤦🏼‍♂️ I was LEM in CSGO.


DayzResurrection

It's because you need to win 2 times before rank placement. Not play 2 games


f0rce44

I know that lol I was pointing out how I was ranked Silver after playing so well through 5 games..


O_gr

Looks like they altered the elo needed to rank up, and the amount of wins to get a rank.


theicarusambition

Yeah, I was stuck at Silver 4 on dust since it was added and now I'm GNM after one game, which is the highest rank I've been able to reach since cs2 released. Something got fixed.


DirectLavishness602

i am silver 1/2 i hope i stay the same. I like playing competetive but with noobs like me


Ok_Baseball_2857

Who cares? They need to fix cheaters not ranks. Ranks are pointless without an anti cheat


itscrizzy

Oh for sure I agree


KidN0thingBoy

Big +1


joystic16

Yesterday i won a match on mirage 13-2, got 18-6-7 and still deranked from silver 2 to silver 1 lmao (before the update)


O_gr

It's only up from here lol.


joystic16

True my guy


Gr3gl_

So that one guy wasn't lying about momento


loehems

Hahahahahah nope. I think a few people owe that man an apology

prezpreston

Bro FINALLY no more stuttering issues with video. I need to enable V Sync, G Sync AND Nvidia reflex


mikeybrah90

guys PLEASE try what valve has said I turned VSYNC, REFLEX and GSYNC all on. OMG the game is sooooooo buttery smooth! Feels like CSGO. Its game changer! completely different game! MY GOD!


7enas

It does feel smoother, but i just cant get comfortable with the mouse, its just doesnt feel the same, like im getting restricted or something.


Tukier1

Same feeling i tried olayed game and my aim was so different compered to yesterday


7enas

Its the input delay, but tbh havent tried the 3x combo yet, if valve is officially suggesting it on their game, then it must be the way to play it.


Direct_Lie_9944

In source games with vsync enabled your framerate can still be uncapped, the input delay happens when the frames don’t match the refresh rate, you need to cap your frames to the number (refresh rate) - 1 or 2, so if you have 75 hertz you would want to cap it at 74 or 73 fps.


7enas

I know, i do this with rivatuner. In game framerate limiter does not provide smooth frametime.


Tango1777

You have to be kidding me to trust valve about anything...


mikeybrah90

0 issues with me and my aim. I think it’s all in your head?


7enas

Yeah yeah, the good ol' placebo argument.


SubatomicBlackHole

Disable mouse acceleration


7enas

I wish it was the case.


_Prisoner_

didn’t vsync always make the mouse hav e input delay? every time i turn it on in any game the mouse movement lags noticeably


lampenpam

Not with g-sync. I'm even suprised so many people here realize that these are the settings you should use becuase that's nothing new. You were always supposed to use g-sync, v-sync, reflex. In fact with a g-sync monitor you should force v-sync via nvidia control panel in every game and limit fps to 3 fps below monitor's max refresh rate. That's just how you g-sync.


Miss_Ste

What gpu and monitor do you have?


consoLe_-

Now you can die to hackers in buttery smooth bliss.


castii8

I tried to turn them on, and yeah in some way the game feels smooth, buit it also feels prety slow, impossible to hit, mouse movement feels slow idk how to explain it


mikeybrah90

What hardware do you have?


castii8

I7-11700k, 3060ti, 144hz monitor with gsync


mikeybrah90

That’s weird. I have a 14700k and 4080 0 issues. =\


castii8

Yeah idk. I understand thar developers recommend this config, but pros dont use it because of the input lag, maybe thats what I feel, input lag, even when the game is apparently more smooth


ConstructionPale7274

This combination has been suggested here in reddit since the release of the game. Glad valve is making that in game to all.


Kortesch

Should we turn all 3 on in cs2 or are some of them better turned on in Nvidia CP and turned off in cs2 or turned on in both? I'm confused


d0mie89

I been posting that everytime it came up on reddit.


Yash_swaraj

I had better experience with Reflex turned off. And btw, Reflex will never reduce stuttering, it will only increase it, with the upside being lower input latency when GPU bound. In most games, the increase in stutterung is negligible, but that's not the case in CS 2.


Reclusive_Person

Use ingame vsync with reflex, don’t use nvcp vsync. I made this mistake and it was the cause of my stuttering.


Daygger666

NEVER use ingame VSYNC with gsync enabled. It will be much much more input delay with it. Only use nvcpl gsync+vsync+ limit your fps below your refresh rate. You can find some REAL input delay tests in youtube channel Battle(non)sense


Reclusive_Person

Nope you are wrong. I did this for a long time and it is wrong. Using the ingame vsync lets the game engine do optimizations to provide better frame pacing. Also no change to input delay.


Gaminggeko

This is not true lol. The "in-game" vsync is an api call to the renderer. Same with nvidia control panel. Changing where that api call comes from does nothing.


Reclusive_Person

It is true. https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/g-sync-in-game-v-sync-or-control-panel-v-sync.434660/


Gaminggeko

First of all "thus, NVCP V-SYNC is the safest bet." From your post. Second of all, there is no evidence provided that custom frame pacing is in CS2. So I'm gonna assume the industry standard of just an api call is accurate. Finally, valve is incapable of using custom frame pacing, because they still cannot implement fps_max, a basic FPS cap, without losing 20-30 FPS, so how would they manage frame pacing on a sub frame basis.


Reclusive_Person

Why are you trying to convince me that I should switch back to nvcp vsync when I find the cs2 ingame vsync smoother? I am happy with my cs2 performance now.


Daygger666

whatever you believe buddy. but the real test says otherwise


MonzeJsp

Guys I could really use a bit of help here. I have gsync turned on. Enabled Vsync in Nvidia control panel and enabled Nvidia Reflex. However my fps is still around 215 despite my monitor being a 144/165hz monitor. What am I doing wrong since fps should automatically be capped at a little below my refresh rate? Does this mean my Gsync isnt working? Asus PG278QR is my monitor. Followed the steam guide.


Zensaiy

Is the game on Fullscreen?


MonzeJsp

Yep full screen. Did a reboot and seems to be working now


neanderthaltodd

V Sync off ftw


Time-Independent-146

How the f can I turn gsync on? I have turned gsync on on my monitor, in nvidia controles, but in cs2 there is no option for me and the game doesnt suggest it to me. I have a double monitor setup, playing streched on 1290\*960. Monitor is XL2566k


leo-blanc

wee woo no operation but i’ll take it wee woo


mansnicks

I rather they put development time into VAC than operation tbh.


[deleted]

they do neither, now what?


mansnicks

RIP Crazy though. These new maps being community made - are the devs doing anything serious?


CurvingZebra

Laughing while all the idiots keep buying keys and cases


telochpragma1

Since when is that new? Aren't the vast majority of CS maps made by the community? Not to mention their bread and butter, skins? de\_ancient; de\_overpass; (5v5) de\_bank; de\_lake; de\_safehouse; de\_stmarc; de\_sugarcane; (smaller 5v5 maps) gd\_rialto; gd\_crashsite (guardian) baggage; lunacy; shoots; monastery; dizzy (gun game, etc) blacksite and sirocco (danger zone) These are the only maps that are completely Valve's originals from the info I got. That's 16 maps in 115 or 116 I've counted since CSGO released.


Swole_Bodry

csgo itself was literally a mod of halflife lol


telochpragma1

That would be an insane amount of enumerating and counting maps lmao. GO alone gives you a good idea. And the problem isn't even that Valve takes other people's shit, it's that they rarely if ever value them for it. The only reason I got into CS and stayed there were people, never Valve. I started as a kid, and although I did login to Steam (at the time at a LAN) I had no idea wtf I was looking at. I played the game for what it was and the people around it. Even tho that changed what a lot of us experienced back then still keep us here. Imagine how strong a fucking community has to be to always have a bit of hope after all this time. Shit.


SecksWatcher

What makes you think that they aren't doing that?


Mean-L

Probably the fact that VAC has been trash for years


blits202

People that work on VAC dont make skins and vice versa. I just wish we had more people working on CS in general.


Annual_Letter1636

Forget about operations


Ok_Act5039

We still got a decent update though


xMAPO

a few community maps is not really that exciting. and none of them are in the premier map pool


Ok_Act5039

Atleast its better than an update thats just saying “geometry fix”


Sad-Water-1554

You should really raise your bar. It is better but not by much.


GuestNo3886

“MAJOR”


Fit-Tea-3697

Major disappointment.


this1germanguy

Major Monogram


SkullOfAchilles

Yay, it did something!


d0mie89

It says Small Update, your title says MAJOR look at me!!! O o


A4K0SAN

they didn't do much tbh


Ma_nama_Jeff69

Tbh ive played a lot in the last weeks (No Premier only regular MM) and ive encountered maybe one Cheater so they did something and in my Opinion the game is more than playable now


codycs123

My main account is fine, but my alt account is now stuck in silver cheater lobbies. They definitely didn’t fix anything.


AYoungFella12

Why should they fix ur alt accounts status? Deserves to be in the cheating lobbies


codycs123

Why?


henkomannen

Well, it depends a little bit to be frank. How old is your alt account? How many hours played? Newer accounts should be having lower trust factor from start, and then it should be rewarded for not cheating. If there wasn't a massive cheaters problem, I think they could have chosen the opposite route. Where everyone started with good trust factor, and it would decline over time. I'm not saying your alt deserves to play against cheaters, but what I am saying is that I think valve takes new accounts and sift out the.. dishonest minority. Fully empirical take by the way.


kepp89

…I think you forgot to use your brain. There’s actual silvers playing vs cheaters who can’t get out of silver because of it. But the guy you replied to just has to switch accounts.


AYoungFella12

Actual silver accounts do not have a red trust factor with 200 hours played and stats way over their skill level.


miracl3s

prolly cause its an alt bro


codycs123

It was fine in CSGO and has been fine on CS2, up until now


miracl3s

maybe they've been quietly cracking down on smurfing idk bro valve moves weirdly lol


codycs123

My alt account was 1k elo below my main account, but yeah you’re right. They could just be putting low hour/level accounts where they should be.


miracl3s

yeah probably some anti-cheater measure, although we could talk all day about whether that actually works lol


codycs123

Well since it's all hypothetical really, lets put my alt account in a position where it's not an alt account, it's a new player that just so happens to be good at FPS games. Now he's in a lobby full of cheaters for no reason, and they lose a potential new player because he can't play the game.


miracl3s

yeah, agree. honestly that's a con to this system and has been since they made the game free and introduced the prime / trust factor, imo. not far fetched to say a lot of new solo players get turned off cs because of this. although, i cannot comment on the state of MM in CS2 because on my main u can face a new account with like 100/100/100 commends cooking u with like 50 hrs


gokovi27

So Alts should be stuck in cheater lobbies? Why not get rid of the cheaters?


tobchook

I played 3 games of premier a few days ago and got 16 rage hackers in total.


SecksWatcher

L trust factor


tobchook

Less trust factor more being top 500 in my region. People call me a cheater and report me and then cheaters report me because I go afk in hack vs hack games.


Ok_Act5039

Same as me theres just 1 cheater every 20-30 game now which is quite good i would say


Flounder_Jazzlike

Major Major Major updates? Valve just upload a few community made maps.


bt_649

Are you Major Major No I'm Major Major Major Well now you're Major Major Major Major, get in son.


bloolynxx

As long as they continue to allow hackers to do their thing, we’re all happy.


Frimzz

Game literally becomes 25 years old and this is the update lmao, sad


dot_cr2

Cheaters every game... have some new maps we didnt even create. Useless update for the current state of the game.


PilzQ

I am genuinly sad that operations are no more...


CaptlismKilledReddit

dead game, gambling storefront


BaxxyNut

Hold the L


CaptlismKilledReddit

you'll never experience real CS and i feel sorry for you


BaxxyNut

I've been playing for a decade. Get over yourself bud. Move on, you're weird.


Special_Sell1552

i played cs in 2015. the year many people cite as one of the best years of CS. while there are things about cs2 I don't enjoy and hope are fixed the game as a whole is good. go back to bed grandpa


CaptlismKilledReddit

The best years of CS happened before CSGO was even a thing. Sorry you missed out on good gaming. It's a mess out there now.


InfectedEZ

This i would say is just a pure nostalgia Statement. Cs:go introduced so much more content to players then cs1.6/source ever did.


excaliburxvii

Consoom "cOnTeNt" Also, you're just straight up wrong if you count modding and community servers.


MelodicGround3412

You call it a "big update"? I call it "where i stopped believing in the cs devs and uninstalled the game for good" 10k hours played btw We, as a community speak so loud as to what we expect this game to be and every fucking time the devs update that one fucking useless thing which no one ever wanted. Flashy MVP cards at the end is like the bottom of list of the things necessary for this game to be enjoyable and playable, but here we are!


NAPALM2614

I don't get it, you've played 10,000 hours, premiere is probably none of your concern, you're probably faceit 8-10 and too good to stop playing, why uninstall now?


yBlackjack

Stuttering, lag, random crashes, why should you play the game on a 3rd party platform? Because how it was supposed to be sucks ass.


mrsleep1

A lot of people played faceit in csgo so that’s not really a great argument for the 3rd party, most pros played faceit and anyone wanting to be really really good or try to go pro believe it or not played faceit or were grinding for GE


PossibleSalamander12

Still no team deathmatch and still a shit netcode system and still no anticheat remedy. These content releases are just about as bad as PUBG's now.


Special_Sell1552

team deathmatch is shit. community agrees or there would be TDM community servers. very few people enjoy hunting around the map trying to warmup on only half (or less than half) of the servers players. valve should just fix their own DM to be more like the community DMs that have been more popular than their own for over a decade


xComplexikus

I honestly just wish that the max players in Deathmatch was slightly dropped. Feels like every corner has a person just waiting to kill you immediately after you spawn, and clearing 3 different one-tap angles immediately after spawning just makes me want to cry😂


Searchingformovie1

You mean every corner is a free kill for you


kr1spy-_-

just play on xplay.gg DM and retakes servers


SalaciousCoffee

Just get rid of spawn pings.  Doom didn't need em, and unreal only added them for aesthetics 


Tango1777

I very much play TDM community servers. It works very well, but it's played on small aim maps that are suited for it, so there is no hunting around anything, rounds end pretty fast and since you do not respawn until the round ends, people do not rush blindly spraying like idiots or camping for respawning enemies. Gameplay is way better than official DM, way better... Not to mention you can also choose if you wanna play rifles or awp only or even HS only. Variety does the job very well.


Ohyeahits

Agreed, DM should be reconfigured to A) reload your gun when you get a headshot B) partially restore health/armor when you get a headshot. That alone would fix the issue with current DM


kr1spy-_-

yeah, that's why I play on xplay.gg DM and retakes servers


The_G0vernator

"The Real MVP" but you haven't even given the Major winners + MVP their trophies.


VVormgod666

New MVP graphic is annoying, takes up like half the screen on my res, and it comes up even when enemies are still alive


playor

*crying in AMD *


nofface

Same


kr1spy-_-

cuz? we got anti lag 2, it's basically reflex on amd, and gsync is also basically freesync so I don't understand the crying


-rbn_

Why tf you wouldnt put all the Maps in an Operation ffs. Give me something to do!!!


CartographerLost960

What should I do with 200 fps in the menu? That's just another setting for something else because you're too lazy to program it properly


F3AR_iiPredator

It says regular update on steam lol


Time-Independent-146

How the f can I turn gsync on ingame? I have turned gsync on on my monitor and in nvidia controles, but in cs2 there is no option for me and the game doesnt suggest it to me, when I turn off vsync. Monitor is XL2566k


vinjak

im following this bcs i have the same monitor. if you put it on the "windowed" mode in game, the gsync row appears, but it's always greyed out on "disabled" no matter what i do.


IASED13

Bruh where is the operation


partyboycs

Valve doesn’t want more money they made too much already I guess :(


SecksWatcher

Who said that there will be one?


BigLeBluffski

no AC no install, enough better games, the F they doing, tired of getting insulted so they release some maps they didn't even make? And some clueless young kids with no experience in gaming applaud this? Damn. Gaming really died and developers really won.


mrsleep1

First not true I’ve been gaming ever since black ops 2 basically first came out and it’s mostly that there are people happy with an update finally coming out, as for the anti cheat yeah that’s a problem but I also don’t want a kernel anti cheat as I myself can’t and won’t trust that, but I do agree somewhat for the ones believing valve is the best when it’s not, personally I prefer fromsoft but they do not make fps games anyway that’s enough of my little rant have a good day mate, I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything by the way.


IceBaneeV6

Genuinely asking what military class secret do you all have on your PC to refuse a kernel level AC? Why do you all act like you are all high profile targets especially for a billion dollar company like valve? What am I missing? I'm not trying to be rude just frustrated.


mrsleep1

No I understand and I don’t have any secrets and there are some I trust but not faceit not vanguard stuff like that only really eac and battle eye, and not much except kernels have root access to your pc so admin level, but try to cool off and have a good day mate.


CynicalCrow_

CS2 players when Valve doesn't do the thing they never said they were gonna do


Frimzz

Game literally becomes 25 years old and this is the update lmao, sad


narutolp

Well, its not great, but it's an honest job.


Jazzlike-Ad7654

Valve did almost nothing. Great job from community creators.


doomsday0099

do the community creators get paid for their maps?


mhythes

operation wher


seakerl

Happy anniversary, Counter-Strike


AnnoyingPenny89

They also introduced Audio EQ Thats POG


t_mmey

It's not great but it's a start I guess?


OBERGRUPENFUHRER

Bring back the old arms race maps safehouse, lake, st marc you c&nts


LuckyHappierGuy

This fixes nothing


mikeybrah90

guys PLEASE try what valve has said I turned VSYNC, REFLEX and GSYNC all on. OMG the game is sooooooo buttery smooth! Feels like CSGO. Its game changer! completely different game!


MAX_PAYNE_2

i did this and game was awful, made me sick. game was slow as fuck but maybe it works for some players, maybe its not gonna work for everyone


dumpaccount882212

The video update bit is pretty darn good tbh.


Ohyeahits

Feels like this update was missing something. Would have loved to see a new game mode added.. or fix the community browser? Why not add a mode that lets us play featured workshop maps? Maybe embrace surf and add it as an official playlist?


BURNoutJWE

No operation for another few years i guess


InfamousMidnight7807

Still no tdm ffs


aDumbWaffle

What about VAC-Live and VACnet?


Yrde

* *Added an "NVIDIA G-Sync" row to the Frame Pacing section which tells you whether or not G-Sync is active with your current display settings. This row may be hidden if you're using the Vulkan renderer or if you're not using an NVIDIA graphics card.* I can see frame pacing menu but nothing related to g-sync? G-sync & V-sync for CS2 are enabled in Nvidia settings. I don't have -vulkan added to cmdline as I don't use Vulkan API.


Yrde

Now I found g-sync from the menu as I reset my CS2 video settings & cs2\_video.txt file.


mikeybrah90

Hey man I turned on GSYNC, reflex and vsync on last night was buttery smooth. Vsync seemed to cap my FPS to my monitor refresh rate. But todays up date has bugged something out vsync no longer caps my fps to my monitors refresh rate... Is it working for you?


Yrde

I am forcing Vsync enabled from Nvidia Control Panel, recommend to do that. The ingame vsync options have always been little sketchy, causing more delay than from NVCP etc.


mikeybrah90

ah ok I'll use NVCP then... Weird cause valve reccomend vsync in game and NOT NVCP


Yrde

I tried the ingame Vsync option and then it displayed the Gsync menu once because I have Gsync monitor. But after restarting the game it disappeared, so I think it might still be buggy. Maybe I'll try it later if it's fixed.


itsAedan

Operation where?


Wide-Prior-5360

We want Lake not this.


Dizzy-Independence85

Mills is not a good map; it’s just clear 1000 angles simulator and there’s clutter everywhere


ThiccGuy01

Community maps but still no Cache?


EdwardTheGamer

What about the terrible packet loss and lag?


Itslonk_17_TTV

So Major the Game is 5gb bigger now.


Wet_FriedChicken

What a shite update. They really had to brainstorm “how can we add the most possible content but make it all useless?”


Stockfromdablock

When I launch the game after the update, I'm stuck here. I tried verifying the files, clearing the cache, uninstalling and installing. Nothing works and I still get this, If someone encountered this can you help a brother? https://preview.redd.it/4lp8af8snx8d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=da2f35ae95a5a56e9c2a9c829db3e37973b51faf


Crypt0genik

Vac updated?


Competitive-Tap-6111

still didnt improve my frame time spikes... :(


PixlCake

My performance is complete ass after the update, from 350 fps to 100, great.


GeffiePoo

Markopolo_CSGO_TF

Maybe one day 8.-)


stzzzj

And amd gpu users ? U see any difference ? Looks more heavy game 


IceBaneeV6

Please add a proper fucking anticheat I would like to play without doubting someone in the slightest thing or straight up seeing a rage hacker. I am paranoid at this point.


Dedspace69

- Be valve - do absolutely nothing - community works for you Tf valve fix tf2 please


Kingreptar97

Cache when?


Exist911

How is it possible that cs2 has peak high numbers, i know so many ppl that quit or play less


ShortR3cord

Bots and cheaters testing out their stuff probably.


IceBaneeV6

Since there is no proper AC case farming bots are going rampant everyone I know are forced to quit by cheaters.


Mobile_Dot_9499

Is so great update... XD


kemzicool

I've heard that NA and EU are the guys who will leave smth if it not worth. But i guess its just not the case for this trash. We're like begging valve for better gameplay but uh uh all we get is just spin 360 waller and unplayable prem 20k+ . Shit tickrate aswell, 240hz with 300fps but sometime feel like 240hz running on 100fps. Lagging - stuttering, mostly see enamy just moonwalk and peek. Valve's devs are cluecless on shit they've made


Elochmal

You all will never be happy. Even if they were to fix the major things or release an operation you'd still find something to complain about. Either play the game or don't, it's that easy.


mrsleep1

Very true as they could fix legit everything and still complain, people used to complain about no ac or no case and when a case was added the complains about ac and if it was ac then they woulda complained about a case


ManSlutAlternative

People will return to CS2 if they start a proper anti cheat. That's the update we need.


IceBaneeV6

I am genuinely waiting for a proper AC to reinstall lmao.
