Today, March 31, Valve released an update for the CS2 Limited Test, introducing numerous improvements and bug fixes to the game. However, the update has drawn some criticism from the gaming community due to the low amount of CS2 invitations.
The update includes multiple network optimizations, UI improvements such as adding a Defuse Kit to the team equipment display, and various visual enhancements. The update also addresses some issues with Dust II (the only available map during this testing period), including clipping and materials adjustments and sealing rooftops to prevent unintended grenade and molotov placements.
Without further ado, you can find the patch notes below:
