This is how the NEW Reloading function works. - It now shows the magazine count - Early reload discards the whole magazine GG @CounterStrike

@iamcs2kitchen Yup, I have already found the culprit for that and will post tomorrow. And thanks for posting this, I see similar FPS drop here as well.

@ThourCS2 The smokes are going to be performance intensive in CS2 (volumetric design). I also see frames reaching 4ms when you are not moving mouse. This should not happen on your system. Here is a clip that might help. I have 2xmsaa and 16x anisotropic, rest same.

Volumetric smokes in Counter-Strike 2 are one of the biggest FPS killers during gameplay. In the example below, the FPS drops from around 900 to roughly 650 while the smoke is active, then returns to normal once it disappears.

@iamcs2kitchen Well, I don't agree with you this time. I do think it's an issue, which needs to be addressed. I don't think we need to compare this game to CS:GO anymore. That game was peak.

@ThourCS2 This is not an issue honestly. I made a video regarding cs2 vs csgo issues with performance. I mentioned 1) networking 2) shooting 3) fps bug 4) subtick input handling They fixed everything I mentioned in the video. This is why you don't hear me screaming about fps a lot anymore

@countaco This is on an empty server, with no bots. You gotta be dumb enough to not understand the issue here and come up with a reply like this.

@ThourCS2 Oh no i’m only getting 650 FPS when a smoke is popped please valve fix the game is unplayable

@SkinLand_market I still regret not getting the 2015 medal, it's the most beautiful one.

Looks like Valve will never be able to top the aura of the 2015 medal! Which year's medal is your ultimate favorite for flexing in matches?

@oradioni this. IDK man... :/

@ThourCS2 Yee, considering that, its pretty weird of valve to add shadows on volumetric smokes

@TheGreenFireCS I think I can consider my PC a high end (9800X3D + 5070), I can't imagine how it would be for low to mid end PCs.

@ThourCS2 25% decrease for a single smoke is insane, now combine that with nades flashes etc and no wonder people complain about fps issues 😬

@mazurek223 And it's just one smoke.. When we do for example A execute or mid smokes, it's usually more than that + molotovs.

@ThourCS2 xd got same, 9800x3d 5070 from 900fps with smoke + molly andshooting going into 400

@TitanHoloCS I don't have CS:GO installed right now, but I doubt it was this bad. Also, it doesn't matter how much FPS it had in a game that's no longer relevant. The game we're playing now is the one that needs attention.

@ThourCS2 I wonder how much fps a smoke in CS:GO dropped Would be interesting to know. It ofc looks much worse and was handled totally different

Tested on a hosted server and these are the video settings used, everything at low, 1920x1080 resolution. PC Specs: Ryzen 7 9800X3D RTX 5070 32GB DDR5 6000MHz

@skorpacs2 @CounterStrike Yes, the person in the screenshot itself is a bot too. Look at his kills.

@ThourCS2 They also have some cheat or script, giving insta headshots.. but according to Volvo its all good @CounterStrike aint that right?

> joined deathmatch > found a few bot profiles > tried to spectate them > multiple bots disconnected instantly Average Counter-Strike 2 Deathmatch 🙃

@RazedEsport @HLTVorg Yeah Anubis will be gone next season

cache hasn't even been in the map pool for a month, and it's already overtaking Anubis in popularity 💀 (via @HLTVorg)

@illcurbstompyou can you post the benchmark? This is actually not possible. Offline with bots, roam around Ancient from T base to A site to mid to CT to B Site to T Base, same for mirage.

@ThourCS2 My fps is better on Ancient than Mirage, 7800x3d, 6950 xt

Mirage and Dust 2 are the best maps to queue in Premier if you're looking for the highest in-game FPS 👌 Ancient and Cache deliver the worst Avg. FPS out of the 7 maps in the map pool. Roughly a 22.8% drop in Avg. FPS from Mirage to Cache, while 1% lows decrease by nearly 5%.

@AB_LOOP Yeah, that's almost same on every map..

@ThourCS2 1 smoke on ancient always drops me to 100 fps

BTW every system will have a different result, my PC is optimized and you may not get the same data despite same configuration. However, the ranking should be very similar on low / mid and high end PCs.

@TitanHoloCS Mirage is topping due to that, maybe a new remake would pull the numbers down.

@ThourCS2 I guess since they have been in the game for so long, they are the best optimized Crazy that Anubis is around the same as Inferno

@ThourCS2 But what's the best map to avoid cheaters 🙃🙃

@TheGreenFireCS Maybe or maybe just because it's been in the map pool for years and is easier to play.

@ThourCS2 interesting to know, this is probably why people only play mirage or dust 2

@TuturV6 Yes, only a 5% variance.

@ThourCS2 But the 1% lows are roughly the same
