Gameplay
? Bot difficulty has been adjusted. They should be a bit easier now.
Dedicated Servers:
? Added support for overriding values in gamemodes.txt via gamemodes_server.txt
- See csgo/gamemodes_server.txt.example for instructions on how to modify it and define your own map groups.
? Added support for map sidecar files, which allow mappers to distribute map-specific gamemodes.txt variables in a separate file.
- See csgo/maps/de_dust_se.kv as an example.
? Fixed mp_timelimit not working properly when mp_maxrounds was set to 0.
UI
? net_graph has several changes that will allow players to better see values they (or the server operator) have configured incorrectly.
- The most important difference is that the game tick rate is now shown in the bottom left, which is where “sv:” (server fps) used to be. Server fps is not really a useful metric for players except when it is below the tick rate (indicating the server is overloaded). Server FPS above the tick rate is meaningless.
- The cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate rate are now labeled as “up:” and “cmd:”, respectively. There is now color coding added to some of the values to indicate out of band values. If cmdrate or updaterate are set above the tick rate (requires a server operator to override the sv_maxcmdrate and sv_maxupdaterate), these values are shown in red. For optimal play experience, these values should match the server tick rate, which is the default behavior unless a server operator has overridden convars.
- Fixed formatting so that the right aligned values are correctly aligned and text doesn’t shift and jump as displayed values change.
? A banner element has been added to the Match Scoreboard to better convey Win, Lose, and Draw match results.
? Hint text has been added to the bottom of the Loading screen.
? Updated the Armor icon next to the Armor meter to include the Helmet when purchased.
? Updated the dominated/dominating/revenge icons for freeze panel, mini-scoreboard, and death notices.
? Updates to the Arms Race UI:
- Now when someone reaches the Gold Knife level, the HUD shows a message in the chat text, displays an alert, and plays a sound effect.
- The scoreboard now displays the winner of the Arms Race match.
- The Arms Race weapon progression HUD element in the lower right now properly displays the data for the person you are spectating.
? In Casual and Competitive modes, the weapon inventory in the lower right of the HUD displays the spectated player’s information now.
? Voting UI updates:
- Fixed the panel going away right after you cast a vote or saw a vote be cast as a client.
- The vote panel has been made smaller and positioned so it doesn't cover other UI elements.
- After you cast a vote, the game no longer shows the text instructing you to press F1/F2 to vote.
- The Vote to Surrender option has been removed. Voting to Restart serves the same purpose.
- When an attempt to vote fails because it had already failed recently, the error message is now more descriptive about what's going on.
- If a player casts a vote when another vote is already in progress, they get a message letting them know.
- If there are no players or maps that can be voted on when you try to cast a vote, those categories are disabled in the UI.
- The vote panel now animates.
- Added the proper sounds to the voting events.
- A fix was made to a vote you cast in a single player game automatically failing.
- Fixed the map you are currently playing displaying in the vote UI as "undefined".
- Updated the size, look and translucency of the vote panel.
- Added the ability to change the next map in the map list which overrides the next map in the mapgroup.
- Changed the text, "Restart the map?" to "Restart the match?"
- Voting for the same map you are playing as the next map will extend it and just restart the map instead of loading.
- Fixed voting panel displaying during the freeze cam screenshot.
- Fixed votes for a certain category failing if they had failed previously but had a different subcategory (for example, a vote failed for kicking player A wouldn't let anyone vote to kick player B)
? Added a slider to the options menus that allow user to see and edit the numeric value directly.
? Removed the Random mapgroup choice from multiplayer Find a Game screen.
? Various improvements have been made to the loading screen to improve the layout.
? Changed the default bot difficulty option in the Offline with Bots screen to be "Easy" instead of "No Bots".
