[Official] Counter Strike Global Offensive Thread

What did they change with the Galil and FAMAS? I always have used Galil for a force buy but would never choose it over the AK.

Jack AK prices or buff the galil?

Release Notes for 11/18/2019

[ GAMEPLAY ]
– Increased price of SG553 to $3000 to bring its price more in line with its value.

thanks grss, and yes pook, I was too busy and lazy to google

I always found the galil easy to handle as it was, have to jump on and test it now.. price drop is nice, I think this is a decent balance shift for a change

galil and famas are decent buys now.
most recent nvidia driver actually has decent performance in csgo.

here are some things to improve performance (worked for me) if anyone needs:
-cl_forcepreload 1 (mixed results, depends on ur hardware)
-shader caching on in nvidia (benchmarked with on and off, on gave ~10 more fps)
-rename "movies" in "Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\panorama" to something else or delete its contents to prevent a panorama bug from degrading performance (can result in massive fps increase unless they already fixed it by now)
-muzzleflash_light 0 (I think it works? not entirely sure)

Also found a new crosshair for me in crosshair generator, it behaves soooo close to dynamic 1.6 crosshair and feels great overall tbh.
Pic related.
If anyone wants to try it, here is the code



also I strongly recommend everyone to install this text mod to simplify chat https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/3711

Any implications withe either VAC or ESEA for using text mods?

Nope, you're good. Been using it myself for years on mm and faceit.

100% not allowed on ESEA.

Only allowed on FaceIt for those not playing in League.

Good to know, thanks!

I was thinking about upgrading to a 1080ti to try and brute force CS GO into giving me a steady 250 fps but I just don't think it's worth it. I've heard the whole "CS is cpu intensive" before so I overclocked it quite a bit to 5.0ghz and I still see dips down to 170 or so. This ancient game really annoys me sometimes. I wish I liked other games even half as much. You guys got any tips?

These are my launch options, I have no idea if half of this stuff helps me or hurts me. I just got it from various websites and articles.

-novid -tickrate 128 -nojoy -nod3d9ex1 -cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 -high -threads 8

This is whats in my config:

rate "786432"
cl_cmdrate "128"
cl_updaterate "128"
cl_interp "0"
cl_interp_ratio "1"
cl_lagcompensation "1"
r_dynamic "0"

Don't use -high, don't use -threads.
