On the night of January 30th, Valve released a minor update for CS2. In this update, the company changed the damage system for HE grenades exploding in mid-air, added updated sounds for inspecting knives, and fixed several major bugs.

GAMEPLAY

Damage from HE grenades that explode in mid-air near the ground will no longer be calculated as if they exploded on the ground.

SOUND

Various changes to knife sounds.

MISCELLANEOUS

Performance optimizations for exploding chickens.
Fixed a bug in map scripts where Entity.SetOwner did not accept undefined values.
Added a method for saving modified user settings on community maps. Running ‘host_writeconfig_with_prompt’ will prompt the user for permission to save. If permission is granted, some of the modified settings (radar, model type, safe zones, etc.) will be saved after exiting the map.
Community maps are now limited to a smaller list of allowed console commands.

Updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop (Update Notes).
