Key takeaways

  • Sound visualization on the minimap corrected, water movement audio fixed, and a device switching crash addressed
  • Viewmodel motion now behaves consistently across frame rates
  • Loadout layout tuned on some resolutions, CT players can unfavorite trade-protected and rental items
  • Ancient and Shoots receive grenade and player clipping fixes
  • Grail, Agency, and Dogtown updated to their latest Community Workshop versions

Audio and feel

  • Minimap sound pips should now line up with actual player audio sources
  • Crash when changing sound devices fixed, safer to swap headsets or outputs mid session
  • Water movement sounds corrected, expect more consistent feedback in water
  • Viewmodel motion adjusted for certain frame rates, weapon sway and responsiveness should feel more predictable

UI tweaks

  • Minor layout fixes on the Loadout screen at specific resolutions
  • Trade protected and rental items now support Unfavorite for CT, easier housekeeping for curated CT loadouts
