Valve releases 1.1 GB CS2 update: notorious strafe bug finally fixed

Today, September 24, Valve rolled out a new 1.1 GB update for Counter-Strike 2. The main highlight is the fix for a bug that sometimes prevented players from moving when strafing while actively moving the mouse. This issue drew plenty of criticism within the community, and even star player Nikola "NiKo" Kovač from Team Falcons publicly spoke about it.

Key patch changes

MAPS

• Fixed various clipping and stuck-player issues on Ancient and Train.

MISC

• Fixed a bug where players couldn’t start moving when moving the mouse at the same time.
• Fixed an issue that caused abnormally low movement speed when walking up sloped surfaces.

This update aims to make gameplay more stable and enjoyable, as the strafe bug even had an impact on professional matches.
