January 30th CS2 Update: HE Grenade Air Damage Rework and Updated Knife Sounds

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.
