CS2 players are growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of significant updates from Valve. Despite a series of smaller patches, the community is pleading for a major update to address the game’s most pressing issues. A Reddit thread has emerged, with players expressing their desire for a substantial update.
Valve’s previous updates have been criticized for their vagueness, often consisting of bullet points that fail to address the game’s core problems. Users mockingly reference the company’s typical patch notes, which include phrases like “various stability improvements,” “misc. updates,” and “bug fixes.”
One user compiled a list of desired patch notes, reflecting the community’s concerns. The list includes requests for 128-tick competitive servers, fixes for bullet tracer and audio bugs, and other improvements that would greatly enhance the player experience.
It is surprising that in 2023, players are still asking for official 128-tick servers from Valve, despite the company’s focus on sub-tick technology. Alternative matchmaking platforms like FaceIT and ESEA have already implemented 128-tick servers, leaving players wondering why Valve has not followed suit.
The sub-tick updates are also causing performance issues, as professional players have pointed out. These issues need to be addressed to ensure optimal gameplay.
Begging Valve for updates is not a new phenomenon, as evidenced by the Team Fortress 2 bot situation. Players hope that Valve will prioritize addressing the community’s concerns and provide the necessary updates to improve CS2.
