Holidays

  • Deployed Holiday Cheer for your festive fragging season.
  • You can spread the Holiday Cheer! Gifts are now available for a limited time.

Sound

  • Added new audio option that enables Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) processing on in-game sounds. The goal is to vastly improve 360 degree vertical and horizontal sound positioning.
  • By default, Speaker Configuration in Audio Settings has been set to “Headphones with HRTF.” Selecting an alternative speaker configuration will disable HRTF.
  • NOTE: For an optimal experience with HRTF, we recommend turning off any external 5.1 or 7.1 surround audio driver options.

Public Lobbies

  • In the friends panel “Steam Groups” have been renamed to “Public Lobbies”.
  • The “Public Lobbies” tab now shows nearby public lobbies and suggested steam group lobbies in addition to your steam group lobbies.
  • Lobbies now support broadcasting to nearby players. Players can use this setting for friend or steam group lobbies.
  • Steam Group lobbies now display the country associated with the majority of lobby members.

Gameplay

  • Third-person weapon angles now visibly match first-person weapon recoil.

MISC

  • Fixed 5 Year Veteran Coin to be granted to accounts that cancelled and later reactivated their old Counter-Strike license after they restart their CS:GO client.
  • Loading screen tokens can now be localized when loading Overwatch evidence or maps created by community members.
  • Bot names can now be localized in game language.
  • Added experimental plugin support for managing network channel encryption keys on community servers.

Maps

Nuke

  • Removed railing on crane in A site rafters
  • Removed ability to climb up on/plant the bomb on top of silos in both bombsites
  • Moved T entrance to squeaky to make movement smoother
  • Removed window in Toxic, replaced with double doors
  • Removed yellow bollards near Garage and Secret
  • Removed cover on top of Mini
  • Added some full cover in cubby next to ramp in bombsite B
  • Replaced exposed bombsite silo with simple version in bombsite A
  • Fixed small collision bump on ramp in ramproom where players could get stuck
  • Added white, flat surface on fence at T side of yard
  • Fixed various bugs listed on CSGOBugtracker.com (thanks to all contributors!)
  • General optimizations
 
I personally am not a fan of all the sound updates they put out. I liked the way the guns sounded when the game first came out better. However using a headset i don't really notice a difference with this new update. My headphones were already directional anyway

The nice thing is that they gave the ability to not use the HRTF setting on headphones
 
Everything sounds weird now and I don't know where the footsteps are coming from

Ahahhaha yeah man same here. I gave it a shot but eventually I had to disable it... Completely threw off my sense of direction instead of making it better lol. Not to mention the wild fps drop it was causing...

Steam group lobbies are pretty sweet though. Team EdgeGamers lobby ftw all day errday!
