The Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test hasn’t been the best so far, and for that very reason, it has just received a significant update today, March 30. The update focuses on improving gameplay, visuals, networking, and input systems and fixing numerous bugs.
Among the most significant changes in this update are multiple network traffic optimizations, which will improve the overall performance of the game. Shooting random seeds have also been desynchronized between server and client code, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.
In addition to these updates, the developers have also disabled all development console commands, including the “cl_physics_highlight_active 5” command. This change aims to promote fair play and prevent potential exploits by ensuring that players do not have access to commands that could provide an unfair advantage or disrupt the gameplay experience.
