CS2 receives minor update

In a recent update, several fixes have been shipped catering to user inputs including console key recognition during and after the pick/ban phase in Premier. The game now ignores joystick input by default to counter a problem where players would automatically move without any keyboard/mouse input.

In the new patch, the game still recognizes user input when a player card is open in the scoreboard. Steam accounts with an active "account lock" are no longer allowed to play on official/secure game servers. Linux Counter-Strike receives some love, fixing excessive viewmodel bob.

A bug where weapon finishes would turn black which was allegedly traced back to certain AMD graphics configurations have been addressed among other things. Here's Valve's release notes for the update:

INPUT

• Fixed a bug where the console toggle key would stop working after a Premier pick/ban phase

• The game now continues accepting keyboard input while a scoreboard player card is open

• Joystick input is now ignored by default. Joystick input is not an officially supported feature of CS2, but you can restore the old behavior with the -joy launch option

UI

• Fixed player and bot names on the Team Select screen during bot takeover

WEAPON FINISHES

• Fixed a bug where certain graphics configurations resulted in black weapon finishes

MISC

• Fixed an issue where the game client would never reconnect to Counter-Strike Network if launched while there was no connection to Steam Network

• Steam accounts that have an active account lock are no longer allowed to play on secure Counter-Strike game servers

• Fixed a bug where viewmodels would bob excessively on Linux
