Sharing your favorite CS2 moments just got a whole lot easier. Introducing Game Recording, a new built-in Steam feature that lets you clip your clutch kills and ridiculous spray transfers with the click of a few buttons.

Game Recording saves your gameplay by recording in the background (or by pressing a hotkey), so you can play it back any time you want--even while you're still playing. CS2 recordings will feature a timeline auto-filled with game-defined markers (like kills and deaths), but you can add your own markers at any time.

Since the launch of CS2, community map mappers have been hard at work creating new experiences and updating some classics. Today, we're excited to add the first community maps to CS2!


For those of you who dream of Italian weddings, or airplane manufacture (or both!), we've got you covered. Memento and Assembly are now available in Wingman.


And if you're in the mood for something a bit more... chaotic, take a dip in the classic Pool Day, which is now available in Arms Race.


Finally, fight your way through the streets of Thera and Mills in Deathmatch and Casual, and put these maps through their paces in Competitive Matchmaking.

Speaking of Competitive Matchmaking, we've given map-based skill groups an overhaul. In addition to redistributing players across the Skill Groups, we've also made it easier to earn those badges in the first place.



There are a bunch of other fixes and adjustments in today's update, including a brand new MVP panel (and animated MVPs in Premier!) and new ways to optimize your video settings.

Jump into a match and check it out!

• Settings Recommendations
  
  
  • Added a Settings Recommendation popup if your display's refresh rate is set below its maximum at startup. Using your display's highest refresh rate is generally recommended.
    
  • Added a Settings Recommendation popup if NVIDIA G-Sync support is detected but not enabled at startup. Using G-Sync is generally recommended if your system supports it.
    
  • Added a Settings Recommendation popup if NVIDIA G-Sync is enabled but not V-Sync and/or NVIDIA Reflex. It is generally recommended to enable all three settings together when they are available. Note that applying these settings will limit your frame rate to your display's refresh rate or slightly lower, which is usually the smoothest-looking and lowest input latency settings combination. See https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/418E-7A04-B0DA-9032 for technical details.
• Removed "Main Menu Background Scenery" and "Item Inspect Background Scenery" settings from the Video Settings page. These settings are still available on the Main Menu and in the Item Inspect screens respectively.
  
• The "Refresh Rate" setting now shows your display's current refresh rate in Windowed and Fullscreen Windowed modes.
  
• Removed the "Laptop Power Savings" setting which has never actually been configurable in CS2.
  
• Added a "Frame Pacing" section to the Advanced Video settings page.
  
• Added an "NVIDIA G-Sync" row to the Frame Pacing section which tells you whether or not G-Sync is active with your current display settings. This row may be hidden if you're using the Vulkan renderer or if you're not using an NVIDIA graphics card.
  
• Added "Maximum FPS In Game" and "Maximum FPS In Menus" sliders to the Frame Pacing section. These control the fps_max and fps_max_ui convars respectively.
  
• Increased the default "Maximum FPS In Menus" setting from 120 FPS to 200 FPS.
  
• The Advanced Video visual preview now uses the "In Game" maximum FPS instead of the "In Menus" maximum.
  

• Fixed a case where the game would think a key was still pressed after it had been released
  
• More improvements to networking to account for packet loss and jitter
  

• Added a "pips only" option to the "Show Team ID Through Walls" settings (cl_teamid_overhead_mode)
  
• Improved bomb interaction with water in Overpass
  
• Fixed a gap in Nuke on bombsite B
  
• Fixed lighting bugs in Main Menu Scenery maps Warehouse and Nuke

• Various localization updates
  

• Fixed a case where weapon animations would play incorrectly when inspecting while reloading.
  

• In game voice chat - Eliminated most hitching caused by in-game voice chat. Some users may still experience a hitch the first time they push-to-talk.
  
• Streamlined Push to Talk - When enabled, this setting will avoid the hitch incurred the first time a player uses push to talk.
  

• Improve connection quality in the presence of jitter or loss, by automatically adjusting user command pacing so that commands arrive at the server earlier.
  

• Improved legibility of teammate health at lower resolutions
  

• Fixed one-way visibility for players inside HE grenade explosions
  

• When equipment info is shown for players at the top of the HUD (e.g. when spectating), their health bars expand to show numeric health values
