Greetings ! I hope you are doing well.
Since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is trending again thanks to VALVe’s generosity, I’ve been looking on how it’s getting played by the community these past few weeks. The reason is simple : CSGO can be played with 2 ways :
- Through the
csgo_legacybranch of CS2, - Or directly through the Standalone that VALVe discretely released early March.
The issue, is that both games have conflicting IDs, meaning that servers made with one build won’t be compatible with the other, and vice-versa. Thankfully, the community is slowly agreeing to play on the standalone build exclusively, and server hosters have found a way to make both games compatible.
One bad news though : VALVe didn’t want to lower CS2’s popularity by publicly bringing back CSGO, and decided to hide it on their store, meaning you have to know the direct link in order to add it to your account. If you don’t know how to get it, we have a guide on how to install it on our WiQi.
Another bad news linked to that standalone : VALVe did the absolute minimum, as the inventory issue is still around. There is a way to bring it back (csgo_gcbeing the one in mind), but it involves modifying the binaries. Unless we are 1000% sure it won’t trigger a VAC-Ban on community servers, I’d recommand you not attempting to install it yet.
Anyway, here is our changelog.
