The latest patch for Counter-Strike 2 is now live, addressing several gameplay, graphics, and animation issues. Here’s everything you need to know.
Counter-Strike 2 players have been running into all kinds of strange glitches and issues with the game since its full release on September 27. From performance issues, crashes, and even players’ knives catching on fire after throwing a Molotov, it’s clear that CS2 isn’t quite the most polished and optimized experience for some players.
Yet, Valve is actively working on fixing many of these issues, and they’ve managed to tackle some of them already in the October 2 update. From movement enhancements on mud surfaces to crucial fixes in graphics and animations, this update addresses several key areas in the game.
See below for the detailed patch notes for the October 2 update to CS2.
