New CSGO update adds kill feed icons, 1vs1 arena for Inferno and more

Users were greeted with a 77.6 MB update last morning from Valve for their FPS game CSGO.

Valve has extensively been shipping updates for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive since quite some time. It is not usual though. The developers have shipped yet another update that features subtle delightful additions to the game. The update is approximately sized 75MB.

The update dated 05 March, 2020 includes the addition of kill feed icons – for blind kills, kills through smoke, no-scope kills, kills through wall & domination. These feed icons were used in some of the community servers prior to the update. The update also fixes a bug related to crouch-walking and slutter. This bug has been lingering since ages.

Yet another interesting addition is the enabling of animation blending for chickens. “Animation blending automatically smooths transitions between animations, chickens and prop_dynamics had their animation blending broken, so they would jerk to the next frame instead of smoothly transitioning from the end of the last frame to the new frame,” said a user on Reddit.

The update brings along several minor tweaks to Chlorine alongside 1v1 warmup arena for Inferno in Wingman mode. The developers have fixed various bugs related to crosshair settings and added various stability fixes.

The release notes for 05/04/2020 are available here:
