CS:GO Updates, December 7

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has acquired a new patch. Valve improved sound quality, changed de_nuke map and made other improvements. Valve reported this in official blog of CS:GO.

[Holidays]– Deployed Holiday Cheer for your festive fragging season.– You can spread the Holiday Cheer! Gifts are now available for a limited time.

[Sound]– Added new audio option that enables Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) processing on in-game sounds. The goal is to vastly improve 360 degree vertical and horizontal sound positioning.– By default, Speaker Configuration in Audio Settings has been set to “Headphones with HRTF.” Selecting an alternative speaker configuration will disable HRTF.– NOTE: For an optimal experience with HRTF, we recommend turning off any external 5.1 or 7.1 surround audio driver options.

[Public Lobbies]– In the friends panel “Steam Groups” have been renamed to “Public Lobbies”.– The “Public Lobbies” tab now shows nearby public lobbies and suggested steam group lobbies in addition to your steam group lobbies.– Lobbies now support broadcasting to nearby players. Players can use this setting for friend or steam group lobbies.– Steam Group lobbies now display the country associated with the majority of lobby members.

[Gameplay]– Third-person weapon angles now visibly match first-person weapon recoil.

[MISC]– Fixed 5 Year Veteran Coin to be granted to accounts that cancelled and later reactivated their old Counter-Strike license after they restart their CS:GO client.– Loading screen tokens can now be localized when loading Overwatch evidence or maps created by community members.– Bot names can now be localized in game language.– Added experimental plugin support for managing network channel encryption keys on community servers.— https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Network_Channel_Encryption
