22:13Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta Update Released
Product Update - Valve
Release notes for 8/14 Update

Gameplay:
• Addressed recently reported performance issues.
• Living players can now hear the dead spectators in Casual game mode.

Effects:
• Improved muzzle flash dynamic light performace and optimized bullet hit impacts effects

UI:
• Added options to select the position of the steam toast notification.
• Fixed an issue with the Scoreboard where it was not showing a Tie or Loss properly.
• Fixed an issue where players were not getting updated in the Mini-Scoreboard.
• The Money HUD element now flashes more when it increases.
• The Scoreboard now allows you to view a player's profile.
• Updated the Alerts and Win panel spacing to match each other better.
• Updated the Win panel to be overall smaller and streamlined in all the states for modes.

Bug Fixes:
• Fixed an issue in the HUD player count where players who left or changed state quickly were not getting updated in the scoreboard as such.
• Updated the Play With Friends screen to enable the private/public toggle.
• Boot invites should now be accepted after the game loads from an invite click in steam message.
• Fixed description text for the Achievement: “Awardist”.
• Fixed server crash caused by taking environment (falling) damage while defusing.
• Fix for firing delay after weapon switching during a reload.
• Fix for cash awards not be applied properly for grenade kills.

Matchmaking:
• By default the input device is locked to keyboard and mouse.

Community Support:
• Fixed a bug where custom server map lists wouldn't populate if CT models weren’t specified. Server now sends information about slots, models, arms and maplist before serverinfo so that correct models could be loaded.
• When hashing the community server response we take into account game mode/type/numslots so that we rebuild extended kv when mode changes, but the map remains the same.
• Added commandline argument "-maxplayers_override" that, if exists, trumps any “maxplayers” values read from gamemodes files.
• Added -gamemodes_serverfile command line parameter that allows specifying a file other than the default gamemodes_server.txt
• Network stringtables will not be using dictionaries on community servers even if convar is enabled. This allows clients to actually download map since resources are referenced by strings and the client will not have the dictionary until they have the map.
• Client will defer .bsp file preload until after required resources are available. For the case of a missing map, this allows the client to reach signon state "new" and kick off downloader thread while retaining their spot on the server. This allows community servers to essentially run 3rd party maps that clients will download when played.

Product Update - Valve
Release notes for 8/15 Update:

UI:
• Added Message of the Day
• Added a message when running without Steam to inform the users that the game requires Steam to be running.
• Added support for radar user message breaking up into several messages to allow for servers with large playercounts to not break user message stream when encountering too many entities.
• Updated the scoreboard so that if a game has a max of ten players you will see a compact scoreboard.
• Update to HUD voice status - darkened chat background from 32% opaque to 45% to increase readability of messages.
• Leaderboards input device filter now defaults to mouse and keyboard.

Bug Fixes:
• Fixed a bug where a dash was displayed when there was no score in the scoreboard.
• Fixed an issue with the HUD scaling not working with some elements.
• Enabled controller sampling regardless of input lock.
• Fixed several vgui fonts being too large at larger resolutions.
• Ignore low violence registry settings for CS:GO since we have no low violence regions.
• Fixed winning text not getting updated for arms race.
• Fixed win panel misalignments.
• Updated the scoreboard to fill from top to bottom for the order of players joining.
• Updated the scoreboard - moved the nav buttons up when you play with 10 players. Added a more opaque background.

o mp_weapons_allow_zeus - Determines whether the Zeus is purchasable or not.
o mp_halftime - Determines whether or not the match has a team-swapping halftime event.
• Omitted reference to ranking or matchmaking from button warning.

Release notes for 8/20 Update

Gameplay:
• Added the Weapons Course to the game.

UI:
• Voice notification can now show more players talking.
• Updated the freeze panel to no longer show the heath for your killer in competitive mode.
• Added an option in the menu to disable the game instructor messages.
• Update to the player info panel to no longer show achievement alerts.
• Update to the leaderboard screen to default to “Friends” filter.
• Added the “Total Games Played” leaderboard category.
• Updated the Play With Friends screen:
-- Made the chat window bigger so text is no longer cut off.
-- Adjusted the size of dimming when the focus changes between friends list and lobby list. It used to obscure the friends list and a little of the chat. Now it only obscures the friends list.

Bug Fixes:
• Updated the radio command panel so that the radio panel doesn't end up at the top of the screen during a mode that doesn't have a money panel.
• Set Classic Casual deadtalk to 0 to encourage fair play.
• Fixed the freeze panel dynamic positioning that would allow it to go too high.
• Fixed a missing text string displayed when player is not connected to Steam in leaderboards.
• Fixed a bug where the Mag7 could be bought by Ts via console commands.
• Fixed a bug where adding favorite server was not functional in the Community Server UI.
• Fixed a bug in the Play With Friends lobby where using left and right on keyboard or gamepad made the screen unresponsive.
• Fixed a bug in the Play With Friends lobby where typing in the Chat window would cause player names to flicker in the friends list.
• Fix for voice/chat/radio messages. Better unified the handling of voice and chat messages.
-- Chat messages now correctly use sv_allchat (instead of sv_alltalk), which should be more consistent with other source games.
-- Team-only communications now are not affected by sv_allchat/sv_alltalk, which means that private communications to one's team stay private, regardless of game mode.
-- Team-only communication is also not overridden by sv_full_alltalk, which allows teams to privately communicate strategy during warmup time and intermission.
-- Radio commands are considered team-only, so these should still be usable for tactics during games with sv_alltalk enabled (e.g. casual).
-- Spectators no longer hear team-only communications, except when sv_spec_hear is mode 2 (hear/see comms of the spectated teams).

Audio:
• Increased the audible range of the c4 plant and disarm sounds.
• Fixed audio randomly chirping/screeching on certain levels.

Matchmaking:
• Tuned lobby distance computations when performing matchmaking.
• Exposed a convar ("mm_csgo_community_search_players_min") for community quick match to look for community servers having at least specified number of human players already playing.

Community:
• Shipped zombie model to support the Zombie Mod

- Fixed perf issues when logging is enabled.

where STEAMDIR is the directory to the steamcmd dir ( example: ~/Steam/ )
where STEAMSCRIPT is the name of the script that steamcmd should execute ( example: ~/Steam/csgo.txt )

- Fixed an issue that caused the AWP to zoom to the wrong level after reloading.

[ UI ]
- Added x-ray vision of own teammates for dead players.
- Added new spectator UI that shows both team’s active weapon, player name, health, armor, etc, when spectating a 10 player match.
- Added a new convar "sv_competitive_official_5v5" that:

o Allows connected spectators to see both teams in x-ray.

- Significantly improved precision of dedicated server frames to match tickrate.

[ Community Servers ]
- Fixed cases when values of some convars set on community servers would not correctly replicate to clients.

To tweak game modes it would be sufficient to provide gamemode_competitive_server.cfg and _server.cfg files for other game modes which will exec after stock cfg files.
- Linux: running srcds_run with -autoupdate will now update the server during hibernation, in addition to changelevel.
- Fixed an issue that was limiting connectivity to community servers to only 25 players.
