The most notable addition in this update however, is the link to CS:GO’s Fair Play Guidelines when playing on official game servers.

What are CS:GO’s Fair Play Guidelines?

Valve intends to create harmony in playing conditions for all gamers. Once every player enters the game with similar expectations, the gameplay experience gets enhanced. Players who choose to play on official CS:GO servers are expected to follow these points:

In all modes:

• Do not ever cheat.
• Never grief or verbally abuse your teammates or opponents.
• Never use any automation for any reason.

In Competitive and Wingman:

• Play to win.
• Play the full match.

If any player(s) fails to play in tandem with these guidelines, they may face various penalties, including cooldowns, communication restrictions, and game bans.

In this regard, Valve says, “It’s fine to try new things and experiment with new strats and skills. But players should not enter a match with the intention of losing or disrupting their teammates.”

Miscellaneous changes in CS:GO update

• Bullet penetration check will ignore the firing player model entirely.
• Fixed bot difficulty selector to correctly apply for offline with bots War
• Games matches.
• Stability improvements.
