ANIMGRAPH 2
The CS2 animation system has been updated to Animgraph 2, which reduces CPU and networking costs associated with animation.
- All third-person animations have been re-authored, and in several cases adjusted in response to player feedback.
- Smoothed in-air crouching transitions in first and third-person.
- In support of Animgraph 2, the logic adjusting player height on sloped surfaces has been refactored.
- Player height on ramps is now consistent and no longer depends on approach direction.
- As a result of this change, grenade lineups on sloped surfaces may have changed.
ENGINE
- Updated engine code to the latest version of Source 2.
CS SCRIPT
- Added function GetRoundRemainingTime.
GAMEPLAY
- Player occlusion now uses a GPU query to prevent players clipping through thin walls when none of their bounding volume is visible.
SOUND
- Mix adjustments to help accentuate jump landing sounds during combat.
- New c4 equip sound.
- Minor adjustments to ambient sound levels.
- Fixed missing ambient sounds on team selection and end of match screens.
