CS2 patch notes for October 28, 2024

Here's a look into the latest CS2 patch notes:

[ JUMPING ]

• Improved jump height consistency to be within 0.015625 of a unit regardless of distance from the map origin at coordinate (0,0,0).
• Previously, in both CS:GO and CS2, jump height could vary by up to 0.03125 of a unit, depending on the distance from the map origin.
• Improved consistency of successfully landing on surfaces very close to the maximum height of a jump.
• Jump height is still affected by stamina; when using cl_showpos 2, stamina at takeoff is reported and output is color coded based on possible jump height.
• Fixed a bug with cl_showpos display sometimes showing incorrect jump height when jumping from sloped surfaces.
• Fixed some cases where the client would be pulled back down during a jump because the server disagreed that the jump had taken place.

[ MISC ]

• Adjusted weapon pickup logic while near the C4, prioritizing defusing over accidental weapon pick-up.
• Enemies will now consistently play a flinch animation on the closest hit when the bullet goes through two hitboxes of equal priority (e.g. when both right and left legs get hit).
• HE grenade explosions within smoke now clear the accumulated smoke screen effect on players inside that smoke within range of the HE grenade explosion.
• Stability improvements.

[ MAPS ]

• Dust II
• Fixed a gap in geometry.

With the newly incorporated changes, we believe that players can expect much smoother movement in the game. Bunny-hopping and other techs associated with jumping will feel more streamlined. With the cl_showpos 2 command now being fixed, players can also keep proper track of their in-game velocity and jump height.

Furthermore, quality-of-life changes, such as the automatic preference for defusing and planting bombs over picking up weapons, will make a huge difference in the game. Lastly, HE grenades have become more reliable, and players within their effective radius will take damage in the game.
