On August 2, Valve rolled out a new 522 MB update for Counter-Strike 2, marking the third consecutive patch focused on addressing issues introduced by the massive July 29 update. This time, the developers targeted several gameplay mechanics, including grenade behavior, bunny hopping, and sound fixes.

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug that allowed players to inspect a grenade after priming it.
• Fixed an issue where first-person viewmodel lag was not applied correctly.
• Molotov now uses the correct fire particle effect.
• Incendiary and smoke grenades now play the correct sound effects.
• Adjusted Molotov audio and particle event timing in first-person view.
• Fixed a bug where the bhopping penalty would continue to accumulate even without pressing jump.
• The bhop spam timer now starts when the input is registered, rather than at the end of the subtick.

Maps

• Jura — updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop.

The August 2 patch continues Valve’s effort to polish the game following the major 2.7 GB update released on July 29, which brought major gameplay changes and new bugs. You can read more about that big update in our full breakdown.
