Counter-Strike 2 - Side-stepping Skill - Steam News

Counter-Strike is constantly evolving. From art, to maps, to inventive plays, and even player input, the CS community shapes the game. Scripting and automating player commands has always been contentious, but over the years some forms of scripting (e.g., jump-throws) have gained acceptance, as...

Patch notes:
[ INPUT ]

• Certain types of movement/shooting input automation such as hardware-assisted counter strafing will now be detected on Valve official servers, resulting in a kick from the match
• Input binds that include more than one of the following commands will now be ignored by default. Support can be re-enabled using the cheat-protected convar `cl_allow_multi_input_binds 1`
  • sprint, reload, attack, attack2, turnleft, turnright, turnup, turndown, forward, back, left, right, moveup, movedown, klook, use, jump, duck, strafe, zoom, yaw, pitch, forwardback, rightleft
• The jump-throw confirmation grunt sound can now be heard by other players nearby

Good.

Should be a ban after the first warning and kick.

Some leeway needs to be granted here. Over the past month some gaming peripheral manufacturers implemented their own version with it auto-enabled in the software.

Nope. You're responsible for your own hardware.

Well its turns out AMD's 9000 series gaming efficiency claims over 7000 series were false:

That rollout was as bad as intels 14900 series that was barely an.upgrade. I was going to buy the 9950x but I saw the benchmarks how it Iaggedbehind the 7000 series and sometimes even the 5000x3d. I guess I will have to see how the 9800x3d stacks up against the arrow lake with no hyperthtreading

I'd advise waiting to buy the 9800X3D till six months post launch. By then AMD should have addressed their RAM compatibility and Windows 11 scheduler issues along with a ~25% price drop.

I try not to wait 6 months because I get sucked in to the upcoming Amd or intel cpu that will be released just 6 months from that period and will again hold off on upgrading the Cpu. Also I'm trying the longest from upgrading to windows 11. The person that last built my pc just uses windows 10

Windows 10 scheduler isnt properly optimized to work with AM5 X3D chips.

Isn't this only an issue with the 7950X3D?

Nope, gotta remember their latest CPU's are a new chipset.



AMD has apparently delayed 9000X3D reveal till 2025:

AMD Ryzen 9000X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs Reportedly Delayed To CES 2025

AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D "3D V-Cache" Desktop CPUs have reportedly been delayed with the new unveil window now set for CES 2025.

I got a new PS5 slim coming and a new TV. Same TV I had. I got to figure out how to get my Elden Ring disc out of my PS5 without damaging it.. I had just bought the DLC and only got to play an hour of it.

I'm looking into getting a better stereo than I had. I might get the LG one.

From my research, I think the lightning traveled up my ethernet cable. My neighbor got his air conditioner fried by the lightning. The people are working on his AC now

Now we know why AMD's internal performance charts are so off on their new hardware. Theyre testing said products in unrealistic environments, cherry picking obscure game titles and when using competitor hardware for comparison setting them up in the worst Bios/OS settings.

The 7800X3D doesn't have the scheduling problems since it only has 1 CCD. Everything I've read said the 9800X3D would be the same.

Intel and nvidia literally do the same thing every release…

Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support in thirteen months. 8+/- core 9000 series X3D chips will likely have the same launch day problems as the 7000 series 8+/- core X3D chips and 7000/9000 series non-X3D chips. 9000 X3D series is unveiling in January followed by a suspected Spring rollout. Leaving only six months of Microsoft support on Windows 10. Takes AMD an estimated same amount of time post launch to get all bugs ironed out with the scheduler and ram support.

Beast the 7800X3D is today wasnt fully there at its April of 2023 launch. Games had a hard time utilizing the full L3 cache from lack of game engine support from Windows scheduler issues. This stopped being a problem around September of last year.

Recent bug was found that affects all AMD CPU's dating back to the 2000 series. Jayztwocents last month switched from Intel to a 7000 series 8+ core X3D chip. Where he found still found a problem with games not utilizing the L3 cache on the X3D cores that AMD addressed a few weeks back.

@jefferz had another look at the Lian-li Lancool 207, that's another good one, I liked the look better than the NZXT and I can still put two fans underneath the GPU for good airflow there.

It's time for you to upgrade cases again.

There's my old PS5. I'm trying to get my Elden Rong disc out. The PS5 is built like a rank. The screw to release the game manually didn't work. It just spins and the game doesn't come out. It just clicks. Plus it's the only plastic screw I've seen on the thing. They built it to screw you over in that regard.

Apparently the unreleased Windows 11 build AMD used to benchmark the 9000 series is producing their promised uplift.

I see you have your Verge approved tools.
