CS:GO Update: New Audio Occlusion System And Halloween
Valve released a new mini-update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, in which they enabled new audio occlusion system and added Halloween-themed flair.
Patch Notes
Gameplay
- Added holiday cheer.
Audio
- Enabled new audio occlusion system for all players.
- Set Audio output to “Stereo headphones (HRTF)” for all players next time they start CS:GO.
Misc
- Added a game server command sv_load_forced_client_names_file. Running tournament servers with +sv_load_forced_client_names_file namesfile.txt allows loading a key-values file where client names are enforced to be the tournament registered player names.
Example file:
“Names”
{
“765611979849XXXX” “Official Player Name”
“765611979800YYYY” “Other Player Name”
… etc.
}
Apparently, there is no possibility to turn off the new audio system, which caused some negativity in the community, including among pro players. For example, member of FaZe Clan, Ladislav “GuardiaN” Kovács, expressed disappointed about the change on his twitter-account:
sad you do stuff like this to the game, you are even proud of it.ill tell you,you do awful job with updating the game,learn from dota devs
