A small Counter-Strike 2 update on Steam landed, fixing a handful of annoying edge-case bugs. The patch removes the ability to plant the C4 while standing on a teammate, repairs rendering problems with transparent charms on planted C4 and dropped weapons, restores the Budapest 2025 coin display in the scoreboard, fixes a replay bug that could cause infinite shell casing effects, and updates the Budapest 2025 Imperial Esports sticker artwork.
This is a tidy follow-up to recent work on demo playback and replay fixes. See the note about TrueView demo playback and demo bug fixes for additional context on replay improvements.
Patch Notes – Counter-Strike 2
[ MISC ]- Fixed ability to plant C4 while standing on top of a teammate.
- Fixed a rendering bug on transparent charms attached to planted C4 or dropped weapons.
- Fixed a bug where Budapest 2025 Coin sometimes wasn’t showing up in the scoreboard.
- Fixed a replay bug causing infinite shell casing effects.
- Updated the Budapest 2025 Imperial Esports sticker artwork.
Most of these fixes address rare but disruptive cases that could affect demos and match clarity. The C4 planting fix closes a mechanical oddity that could cause confusion in clutch situations. The replay casing fix should make demos cleaner for review and content creation.
