Valve released a patch that addresses several issues caused by the latest major update in Counter-Strike, including a bug that allowed players to see through smoke on the Mirage map. This bug, which gave an advantage to CT team players, has now been fixed.

The update also includes fixes for various crashes, restrictions on changing cl_interp to prevent abuse of this command, which caused game "freezes," and the removal of the XP reload icon from the kill feed after negative community feedback.

The patch also fixed a bug that prevented AMD graphics card users from correctly moving stickers, as well as ensured correct display of stickers with individual offsets when viewing items in the game on the Steam market and in inventory.

Additionally, fixes were made to animations, including the Kukri knife inspection animation and a bug related to fire effects from incendiary grenades. A bug with background maps when inspecting gloves was also fixed, and a gap in the world geometry on the Vertigo map was corrected.
