Known issues from the release of CS2

Although the game was out for a closed beta, and many bugs were pointed out during that time, many issues still remain. While the devs are working on patch fixes for the game, here are all the known issues that are yet to be addressed.

One main issue that still remains is the one of the subtick system. Some players have been experiencing these issues, especially when they get peeked. The animation problem due to the subticks is causing a problem making players feel like they are being shot from behind a wall. This comes as a huge problem as many players have gotten this issue up. Although Valve has not yet addressed this bug, players hope to see it patched soon.

Many maps in Counter-Strike 2 have received improvements in lighting. Maps like Overpass and Inferno received more significant makeovers. Players are also eagerly waiting to see the return of maps like Cobblestone and Cache, which have not yet been implemented.

Some miscellaneous issues include watching highlights and lowlights through the in-game demo viewer causing consistent crashes. Some players have noticed the absence of the “cl_righthand 0” command, which allows players to switch the weapon view model to the left hand. Valve has not yet introduced this command to CS2, and fans are patiently awaiting a new update.

While it is clear that CS2 had a rocky start when it came to bug fixes, it is to be noted that Valve has been quick to respond and work on them. As CS2 has received a lot of criticism, many players are very happy to see the reworked game. That being said, have you experienced any of these issues while getting into CS2? Let us know below.
