On February 14, Valve rolled out a fresh update for Counter-Strike 2, which focuses on enhancing the user interface, addressing bugs, and providing expanded capabilities for map creators via Steam Workshop.

Improvements to UI and CSTV Fixes

The update brings a variety of improvements to the user interface. This includes adjustments to the size and scaling of UI elements seen in both the in-store purchase interface and the in-game HUD. Additionally, Valve resolved an issue related to the display of armor for viewers watching through CSTV. These updates aim to enhance the overall experience for both players and casters during matches.

New Animation for AK-47 Inspection

Another change in this update is the revised inspection animation for the AK-47. Although subtle, the updated animation is a key enhancement for players who enjoy customizing their gameplay experience and for those who prefer using alternative animations.

Expanding Steam Workshop Capabilities for Map Creators

The most significant technical change in this update is the increase in the maximum file size for map uploads to Steam Workshop, which has now been raised to 3 GB. This adjustment provides map creators with more room to work, allowing them to incorporate more intricate textures and design more complex game levels, something that was previously restricted by file size limitations.

Valve continues to release updates aimed at refining both the gameplay and technical elements of Counter-Strike 2, with plans to further enhance the game in preparation for upcoming tournaments and community-driven content.
