Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Update Released

Release notes for 8/22 Update

- Addressed some stability issues. - Fixed perf issues when logging is enabled.

- Added a convar (cl_crosshairgap) to control the gap of the classic crosshair. - The smoke grenade smoke is now taller so it's now more useful to use it to block places like double-doors in dust2. - Players can no longer interrupt another player defusing the bomb by standing in between them and the bomb. - Disabled sv_pure on listen servers. - Fixed an sv_pure bug that resulted in false inconsistent MD5s - Increased search iterations and time delay for keeping sessions in the ignored pool. mm_ignored_sessions_reset can now reset the ignored pool. - Fixed a case where MOTD prevents input to the team select screen. - Fixed occasional "server is full" error when matchmaking into classic casual games. - Fixed an exploit where a vote could be called for an invalid map.

- added some sound mix settings suggested by pros - increased the volume of bullet impacts and ricochets - increased the volume of 3rd person footsteps - increased the volume of weapon foley sounds (reloads, etc.) -decreased the volume of ambient sounds

linux - Added steamcmd support to srcds_run. In order to have srcds_run auto-update when the CS:GO dedicated servers get patched, the srcds_run script must be run with the following options: -autoupdate -steam_dir STEAMDIR -steamcmd_script STEAMSCRIPT where STEAMDIR is the directory to the steamcmd dir ( example: ~/Steam/ ) where STEAMSCRIPT is the name of the script that steamcmd should execute ( example: ~/Steam/csgo.txt )
