Counter-Strike 2 Update — 9 Sept 2026

Cache

• Fixed various gaps in map.
• Fixed a wallbang spot on B site.
• Added a missing competitive CT spawn point.
• Added additional T spawn points.

• Reworked CSPlayerCamera:
• Renamed it to CustomPlayerCamera.
• Added GetPlayer, GetMode, SetMode, and SetFollowConfig.
• Deprecated IsEnabled, SetEnabled, and SetIsControllingAngles.

Added an 'observable' property to custom_hud_layout that controls whether an observer sees the UI as the spectated player sees it. Defaults to false.

Fixed several bugs related to stale custom_hud_layout state when changing spectator targets.

Added top-level custom_hud_layout classes driven by client state:

• HUD_BUYMENU_VISIBLE
• HUD_SCOREBOARD_VISIBLE

custom_hud_layout now always draws on top of the base HUD.

• Chat is now encrypted in demo files using the same rules as CS:GO :
• Team chat is no longer readable when playing back demo files.
• Global chat is only readable in demo files when played back via the in-game watch UI.
