Counter-Strike: Source Update Released

Posted by system · 06/23/10 @4:29 pm · cstrike: source · 22 comments

Just as we posted earlier - the update we predicted would be released today has gone live! The update is rather large (752MB) so get started on the update by restarting Steam.

Counter-Strike Source Changes

144 achievements added
New lifetime player stats and summary screens
New match player stats and summary screens
New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
New cinematic death camera
New domination and revenge system
Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
Incorporated many source engine updates
Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed.
Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.
cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.
Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.
Updated source engine addresses many issues:
Better flashlight effect
Better HDR behavior
Multicore rendering support
Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.
Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.
Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.
Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.
Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33. This addressed a number of issues, including:
Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close
Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter
Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns

Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_red
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_green
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_t_color_red
cl_scoreboard_t_color_green
cl_scoreboard_t_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_red
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_green
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_blue
Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.
Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.
Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.

Gameplay
Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.
There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.
If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.
If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.

fr33pr0d Moderator edit: Thursday June 24th, @07:57PM	Because I don't have a good-enough computer to play COD, I kinda like the update. The only thing that bothers me is that the update screwed up SourceSDK. After the game update, I launched SourceSDK and it was automatically updated. From that moment it stopped working (couldn't even launch VHE). I'm reinstalling SourceSDK and hopefully it was something I did that messed it up (all I did was press OK at the end of the update). Later Edit: Reinstalling SourceSDK fixed my problem. Now CS:S appears under "Source Engine 2009", right next to Portal

gnar (unregistered)	Update killed my game Awesome after the update I can no longer Buy Weapons, Chat, Use Server Sounds. Thanks steam for screwing the game up, if it works apparently it does not have enough features just keep fixing it until it is broken. Hopefully they will at least fix the first part soon or it will be my last steam/valve game i buy....... I hate software engineers!

septimius7773 Member	the "achievements" feature and that freeze camera view are so useless.Many peoples are complaining about lower fps and a bug that makes a player at the start of the round to feel like he is buried in the ground.(you fix that by pressing Ctrl),the weapon when you move seems shaky sometimes(like having Parkinson's disease).Also some water textures are looking very ugly now.The refracting windows materials are looking much darker than in source 2006 engine. So I think this update needs another update.

Sebastian Lost in space	for those that don't like the achievement notices while playing you can disable them.. set in /cfg/config.cfg cl_show_achievement_popups "0" you will still earn the achievements, but you won't get any messages.
