  1. I really appreciate your detailed analysis cause sometimes it's easy for some feature to fly under the radar when you didn't know the exact problem in first place.

  2. 3:15 but does it still work like it did in csgo and cs2 so far that on low the distance of seeing enemy shadow is less than it is on high? I remember like for example even back in csgo you could see enemy shadow on dust 2 on ct spawn from an enemy who's on short where on low you can see it only from ct spawn while like on high you can even see it from ct mid or even b doors. That's just one simple example which first came to my mind. Idk how to explain it.

    And also we got 2nd hand for bowie before gta 6. (I had to say it xD)

  3. 3:55 Yeah, that's VERY hard to believe, considering there are serious bugs unfixed for months (e. g. broken demo recording).

  4. I made that post and I'm so happy a small display like that made Valve take action.
    It shows that they are indeed listening and I am optimistic for the future of CS2.

  5. But, did you notice how if you have pattern based gloves they switch hands. The gloves don't just allow you to use the other hand if you swap from right to left handed view. The gloves and patterns actually swap hands when changing the view model.

  6. shadow qual low does reveal shadows now but has a very short draw distance, only high retains max draw distance for shadows of other players further away

  7. As a bowie enjoyer i am not sure about this change because I used to have gloves and now I sold them and I don't have any ๐Ÿ˜› xD

  8. They still didnt fix the stattrak hud cuz its still missing and i miss that from csgo i dont want to need press inspect to know stattrak stats

  9. You have a render distance on shadows if the setting is not high. So you better leave the setting on high if you pc allows

  10. 3:56 it REALLY is hard to believe because there is still weird rubberband effects (even with high-end PCs) and still no anticheat, still no oldschool maps like train, cache, cbble, still so many boosted accounts

  11. Didnt test with but hub fps booster could be related to tab menu, my fps drop from 200 to 80 and ping increases.
    I hope they fixed it in this patch

  12. One quick note about the dynamic shadows: The global shadow settings also impact the distance from which you can see the player shadows. That means if you set it to low, the shadows will appear in a very short distance, and if the player is very far, you wouldn't be able to notice the shadow at all. Changing it to higher setting extends that range, so playing on higher settings is still competitively better. But still, for people on lower end PCs, making dynamic shadows also available on lower shadow settings is still better than keeping it only on high and very high settings.

  13. 1:13 No, this is still shit, why does it need to be a comically unrealistic explosion like that? Frag grenades just pop a small spec of dust and that's usually the the foliage being blown up by the shockwave….. I wish they removed that goofy animation, it's like a frag that has a deodorant bottle taped into it.

  14. Global shadow quality needs to be on high minimum to get the draw distance or you wont see shadows too far see too far away from you. Im uploading a draw distance example rn.

  15. The guy from "nade" clip is recording DEMO POV. It's just not the same.
    Demos are showing different smoke visibility.

    Example:
    My friend saw part of the enemy sticking out of the smoke.
    When we checked demo, that enemy is not visible.

    100% Valve didn't touch anything, they just wrote "oh yea, we fix nade smoke" cause people don't understand it's demo difference.

  16. I got red TF on my both accounts and IDK why /: I've played over 2000 matches and hope valve just show me just a single matche that I cheated …… how the fk is this happened!? I got lots of reports I play really good but never cheated, it's not even yellow TF, somehow today I got red :/ I've never play with cheaters to get boosted(this week my rating went down from 14k to 11k)

  17. Before you could set shadowmap resolution, shadow cast distance, etc. so you could precisely tune and tweak the shadows for your specs. But volvo deleted that possibility. I wonder if thats possible now, after they added this option.

  18. yet inspect for bowie remains one handed… curious to see if that is changed too. As bowie user, I would like to see it consistent.

  19. I'm tired of Valve tweaking every itsy bitsy in-game detail! Just focus on the big things! Stupid babysitting! I remember times you had to buy bullets for weapons – forget to buy – that's on you. Snowflakes ruined everything!

  20. One way abusers getting so desperate for a fix theyโ€™re detonating HEs at their feet ๐Ÿ˜‚
