The latest patch for CS2 aims to tackle the numerous matchmaking problems that have plagued the game since its launch. Players have been frustrated with receiving maximum penalties for being kicked from a match, even if it was unintentional. The new update now ensures that players will only receive the rating penalty for a loss in that match, which is a fairer outcome.
Another major improvement is the change to surrender votes. Previously, a single player could hold the entire team hostage by refusing to surrender. Now, all surrender votes require a majority of players to pass, preventing such situations and allowing teams to move on from unwinnable matches.
Furthermore, the patch addresses the AMD shader compiling issues that have caused stuttering when performing certain actions, such as throwing a grenade. This problem has been completely fixed, providing a smoother gameplay experience for AMD GPU users. Additionally, several performance updates have been implemented to address lag spikes and microstutters, further enhancing the overall gameplay quality.
The patch also includes various bug fixes and tweaks to maps like Nuke, Vertigo, Anubis, and Overpass, ensuring a more balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience. Other miscellaneous fixes include preventing chat spam during the Premier draft phase and resolving a bug where kicked players were unfairly penalized with the maximum CS Rating penalty.
Overall, this patch aims to improve the matchmaking experience in CS2 by addressing various issues and implementing necessary fixes. Players can now enjoy a more fair and optimized gameplay environment, free from frustrating penalties and exploitable mechanics.
