CS2 Performance Improved After Update

A data miner known as Thour reported on social media about a noticeable improvement in performance in the tactical shooter Counter-Strike 2 following the latest update released by Valve on the night of September 9.

According to Thour, the frame rate (FPS) during weapon firing increased by approximately 6%. For testing, he used the Mirage map and performed close-range shooting to record accurate metrics. However, he noted that results may vary depending on the specific PC configuration, so the figures cannot be considered universal for all players.

The update in question weighs 446.4 MB and is already available for download on Steam. Valve developers not only improved shooting performance but also fixed animations for several melee weapons and eliminated a bug related to first-person model display.

Earlier, there were reports of drop in FPS when encountering firefights and visual inaccuracies, which are very significant for competitive modes where image stability directly affects the outcome. Things should be better now and optimizing the gameplay to make it more predictable.
