CS2 November 14 Update Patch Notes

[ DAMAGE PREDICTION ]

• Added damage prediction settings. Damage prediction allows clients to immediately play the audio/visual effects of inflicting damage without waiting for confirmation from the server. Damage prediction can make shooting feel significantly more responsive, but comes with the risk of occasionally being wrong (e.g. due to aim punch, tagging, or a death that your client isn’t yet aware of).
• Predicted body shot effects (disabled by default), head shot effects (disabled by default), and kill ragdolls (enabled by default) can each be toggled separately.
• Damage prediction is not active when you have high ping.

[ ANIMATION ]

• Updated the third-person animation that plays when a player is blinded by a flashbang. The animation now accurately represents the player’s visibility level, and the pose will only show the player’s arm covering their eyes when they are completely blinded.
• Fixed a case where legs weren’t animating correctly while taking damage.

[ GRAPHICS ]

• Added ambient occlusion for first person legs to better ground them in the environment.
• Performance optimizations for molotov and incendiary effects.

[ GRENADES ]

• Added axis labels to the grenade line-up reticle tick marks.
• The grenade preview camera now shows the result of a jump throw while the jump button is held.

[ MAP GUIDES ]

• Added a map guide for Train, which demonstrates four simple Terrorist grenade line-ups. To load a map guide, go to Play→Practice and toggle “Load Map Guides” on.
• Added concommands annotation_* which enable the creation, saving, and loading of map guide nodes and files, which are stored in /annotations/.

[ MISC ]

• New game settings for radar map blending and background opacity.
• Fixed a case where progress from a previously completed Armory Pass would show during activation of a new pass.
• Fixed a regression with Chinese input via the Microsoft Input Methods.
• CSTV now allows setting tv_delay and tv_delay1 to a value smaller than 6 seconds.
• Charm Template number is now available in Charm descriptions.
