CS:GO

The infamous boost bug has been figured out by Poggu et al. (soon to be a valve employee).


(posting everything here because i think not everyone has twitter acc:)

Poggu on twitter:

We just figured out what cases the "boost bug", it's the fucking ragdolls. Whenever you die while standing on a ragdoll your client side collision will be permanently disabled for that player.

This happens because the game disables player collision whenever your ragdoll touches another ragdoll, the ragdoll entity is actually the same entity as your entire player.
You can reproduce this by killing a bot, standing on his ragdoll and then killing yourself, next round you'll have "boost bug". Also to clarify, "boost" is incorrect, all the collision from all sides will be broken, not just when boosting.

By running "cl_player_ragdolls_collide 1" (sv_cheats required) it will completely fix the boost bug, but also enable collisions between ragdolls. This bug pretty much got introduced whenever Valve disabled ragdoll collisions because people were piling them on top of each other.

With this information it should be absolutely trivial for Valve to finally fix this bug, it's all about just getting to reproduce the bugs.

Edit: his follow-up tweet:

To be very specific, whenever a ragdoll touches another ragdoll, it will completely disable the collision between those two, ragdolls and players are the same entity, so they effectively also disable all normal player collision whenever those two ragdolls intersect

    I sent a report to valve on how to reproduce the bug two months ago, but got no response. I sent the reproduction to the steamdb discord and they had it figured out in less than 12 hours, goated community.

    My feeling right now.

    Just open source the game already valve, that way someone can actually take care of it.

    Instead of fixing this, valve will remove the ability to use the console commands to find out how this bug happens.
