Valve has released an update for CSGO that looks to fix a Ping bug that had been likened to a wallhack.<\/p>\n

The bug centred on the contextual Ping feature, that was added back in December with the Operation Broken Fang update<\/a>, and which was later shown to reveal enemies that were hidden to the naked eye<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That bug appears to be an unintended consequence of another issue that arose from the Ping system that meant players were using it to set up targets for their pre-fires.<\/p>\n

CSGO’s ping system has been a troublesome feature since it was introduced. (Picture: Valve)<\/span><\/p>\n

Another changes in the 17th February patch<\/a>, that is now live on servers, include several map fixes to Anubis, Engage, Apollo and Frostbite.<\/p>\n

CS:GO Feb 17 patch notes<\/h3>\n[MAPS]– Anubis
— Reskinned the signs and information boards
— Fixed the wallbang through the trim on the mid building between double door and the CT house
— Added some grenade clips to prevent weird grenade bouncing on A heaven<\/p>\n

– Engage
— Fixed several visual issues
— Removed boost spots
— Updated Bot NAV (Thanks Ham)<\/p>\n

– Apollo
— Multiple exploits, clipping faults and boosts etc. fix based on the feedback of Oliv1er and timure of the MapInk Discord
— Fixed spawn boost exploit (thanks Marius)
— blocked guns going out of CT spawn so much with a big sign. (thanks Fnugz)<\/p>\n

– Frostbite
— Removed window glass from buildings to improve gameplay
— Fixed exploit in Town
— Fixed stuck spots
— Fixed certain visual errors
— Adjusted border clipping
— Fixed floating exploding barrel\/turret spawns
— Adjusted prop fade distance in the bunker

– Fixed a bug which caused the incorrect footstep sounds to be played on some surfaces.
– Fixed short-handed bonus being given in Guardian mode.
– Fixed visual shuffle in map vote at end of match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
