Ender of Games

The conspiracy is growing.

No, dude, they are making fun of themselves. The joke is Dull has access to revise the changelog, hid an oopsies, then “self reported” and wrote “literally 1984” on it.

Left side, original patch notes: “Fixed our rate limiter that DullBananas broke”

Right side, DullBananas revised version: “Fixed our rate limiter <full stop>”

“Literally 1984” because they are censoring the TRUTH.

That is such a great image for memes, I’ve never seen it before.

This was me for a long time, and a pretty big symptom of depression.

Great, now there is porn here now. Welp.

Wrong answers only?

A meme.

Yeah, he’s the guy with the purple magic wand.

If you want to downgrade your game to an old version, you can. In the betas menu.

We are talking about Counter Strike 2, a complete rewrite of the game’s code for a new game engine. EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed over the last year.

1: play CS:S or 1.6, they’ll run better than CSGO on hardware that ancient anyways.

2: You can play CSGO, in the beta options, and find a Gun Game server online (browser is broken from this update, so you’ll have to search online to get address). “Arms Race” was valve’s new name for gungame for some reason.

2.5: combine 1 and 2. It’ll be easier finding servers in CS:S right now, anyways.

2.75?: The compatibility of making CSGO available for a wide range of devices kept it from progressing, the Source 2 change is for people who have a desktop from maybe ten years ago. My low end surface from nine years ago gets similar frames as your Thinkpad, and I don’t try to play games with it much anymore… but if you want to play new games, especially on the go, you gotta be expected to upgrade at some point.

It IS playable on Linux. It ISN’T playable on computers over ~10 years old.

Yeah, that happens with certain groups of people. Definitely not a CS2 issue, best you can do is go and play a different map.

Players are hurt from having it split. Way more so than Valve. In fact, I fail to see why Valve would be gaining anything, they aren’t selling the missing parts.

When a game updates, do you keep matchmaking servers up for every old edition of the game? Place people in a different queue for every hotfix version they are on? When the game is updated often over a lifespan of 12 years? Then no one would be in any matchmaking, let alone enough people of your skill level.

If they marketed this as “CSGO: Source 2 engine update” people wouldn’t be whining, so I don’t understand why people go out of their way to make a big deal about this. We knew not all the content would be available at release when they completely rewrote and modernized the game’s code.

And no anti-consumer business practices involved. You CAN play csgo still, if you want to. Sure, it’s inconvenient to download an old version of the game to run, but it is also inconvenient to download an old version of any game to run in every case. Anyone saying CSGO is unplayable and “that’s unfair because I paid for it” is maliciously spreading misinformation.

there were no significant new features except the hat-ification and skins along the lines of Team Fortress 2

Skins and cases were not in release CSGO. The release and beta features of CSGO were supposed to be controller support and cross-platform play with consoles.

Not a shame dividing it another time, but you also can. It’s still a beta option.
