CS2 Players Discover New Console Method for Wallhacks Within Hours of Valve’s Fix

CS2 Players Discover New Console Method for Wallhacks Within Hours of Valve’s Fix

The Counter-Strike community was recently shaken by the discovery of a console command that gave CS2 players wallhacks in-game. Fortunately, the exploit was swiftly fixed by the developers through a significant patch that was shipped to the game yesterday. However, it seems that a new method of wallhack has surfaced in Counter-Strike 2, and like the previous one, this new exploit also relies on using the console to be able to see entities through walls in the shooter.

The command in question provides CS2 players with wallhacks, without requiring the ‘sv_cheats’ option to be enabled in the game server. Yes, this means that players can exploit this in official servers at will to see enemies through walls.

This console command was recently tested by popular Counter-Strike streamer ‘ohnePixel’ during one of his recent CS2 live streams. When activated, this command provides information about enemy models through walls that otherwise shouldn’t be visible to the players.

This game-breaking bug can be easily replicated by any CS2 player by simply typing the following command in the console:

‘Cl_draw_simulating_entities true’

Once the player inputs this console command, they will be able to see yellow boxes around the enemy models throughout the map. We don’t recommend using this in official matchmaking games as it will likely ruin the experience for other players, even though the user’s screen will get extremely cluttered, unlike the previous exploit.

With the integrity of the game at stake, many fans are eagerly anticipating a swift response from Valve to address this game-breaking issue.

FaZe Clan’s Q4 Financial Results Show Revenue Growth Despite Net Loss

Esports and gaming lifestyle organization FaZe Clan has released its Q4 2022 financial results, showing a significant increase in revenue despite recording a staggering net loss. The company reported a total revenue of $70 million, which was primarily driven by a nearly 70% increase in brand sponsorship revenue and growth in their esports operations.

FaZe Clan’s Revenue Growth and Operating Costs

While the revenue growth was promising, FaZe Clan recorded a net loss of $53.2 million, making for a challenging first year as a public company. The company’s total net loss was even higher at $168.5 million, including a one-off debt extinguishment charge related to going public.

Operating costs were a significant factor contributing to the net loss, prompting the company to lay off staff in February to save approximately 17% in annual headcount expenses. Despite this cost-cutting measure, FaZe Clan’s net loss in the last quarter alone was $19.1 million, up from $13.6 million in Q4 2021.

Factors Driving Revenue Growth

The growth in revenue was primarily driven by the easing of the global pandemic, tournament wins, higher player transfer fees, and league participation. FaZe Clan credited the strong performance of their esports athletes and content creators, as well as their loyal fan base, for contributing to their revenue growth.

FaZe Clan Struggles with Stock Price

Despite the promising revenue growth, FaZe Clan’s stock price has been struggling, with a new all-time low of $0.40 per share on March 20. This is a drastic decline from the all-time high of over $20 in August 2021. The share price has remained below $1 for over 30 business days, prompting a deficiency notice from Nasdaq.

FaZe Clan has 180 days from the date of the notice to regain compliance or face delisting. The struggling stock price has raised concerns about the long-term viability of the organization as a public company.

FaZe CEO’s Optimism

In a letter to shareholders, FaZe CEO Lee Trink expressed his optimism about the future of FaZe Clan. Trink acknowledged that the company had a slower start to its journey as a public company than they would have liked but highlighted their gifted roster of esports athletes and content creators, a talented and dedicated team committed to their mission, and a loyal fan base that continues to grow and engage with their brand.

Trink’s optimism about the future of FaZe Clan is supported by the growth in revenue and cost-cutting measures the company has implemented. However, the struggling stock price remains a significant challenge that the company must address to ensure its long-term viability as a public company.

In conclusion, FaZe Clan’s Q4 financial results showed strong revenue growth, but the organization has incurred significant losses due to high operating costs. The company has taken measures to address these costs and has expressed optimism about its future. However, its stock price has taken a significant hit, prompting concerns about its long-term viability as a public company.

How to Collect Golden Eggs in Fortnite?

How to Collect Golden Eggs in Fortnite?

Eggs have become a recurring motif in this year’s Spring Breakout event in Fortnite. Players must obtain an egg to complete a quest and they are also a valuable source of gold bars. Nevertheless, locating one of these legendary eggs can be challenging if you’re unfamiliar with their locations. In this article, we will discuss how you can easily collect Golden Eggs in Fortnite.

How to Collect Golden Eggs in Fortnite?

Chickens lay Golden Eggs during an event in Fortnite, but these are rarer than other eggs. When players collect Golden Eggs, they receive gold as a reward. The Frenzy Fields POI is the best place to find Golden Eggs because it has the highest concentration of chickens. Players may also have luck finding Golden Eggs on the Northwestern and Southern parts of the map, although blue and purple eggs are more common in those areas.

Once a Golden Egg appears, players simply need to walk up and press the designated button to collect it. If the player’s inventory is full, the Golden Egg will automatically turn into a stack of Gold Bars that will add to their balance. The first Golden Egg a player collects awards them 20,000 XP and completes the Spring Breakout quest. However, even after the quest is complete, collecting Golden Eggs is still worthwhile because each one yields 350 gold bars.

Wall-hack in Counter-Strike 2 patched with March 30’s update

Wall-hack in Counter-Strike 2 patched with March 30’s update

It hasn’t been long since the limited test of Counter-Strike 2 was officially released by Valve, and the community has already started finding new and innovative ways to completely break the game.

Over the past few days, several bugs have been found on the limited test of Counter-Strike 2 – after all, that’s what a beta is for. However, a newly discovered console command that a streamer has been able to find can cause some serious problems if it’s not patched by Valve ASAP.

Counter-Strike 2 has finally been revealed by Valve after several weeks of speculation around the same.

Valve had earlier announced the cancellation of the second Major of 2023. The tournament, which was scheduled for November 2023, has been scrapped to give way to the upcoming release of Counter-Strike 2.

The highly anticipated “Counter-Strike 2” is set to make its debut with a limited test having started earlier this month. The game promises a complete overhaul to every system and every piece of content, bringing with it the largest technical leap forward in the history of the franchise.

Counter-Strike 2 would be released this summer alongside a promise of an “overhaul to every system, every piece of content, and every part of the experience.”

The command we’re talking about literally gives you wallhacks in CS2, and no, you don’t need to have ‘sv_cheats’ enabled to be able to use it.

This console command was tested by popular streamer ‘fl0m’ during one of his recent CS2 live streams. When activated, this command instantly triggers the exploit which enables you to see the enemy behind the wall.

Valve has disabled all development console commands, including the one that allowed triggering wall-hacks in official matches. 

This week, players who were granted access to the closed beta of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive discovered that entering the command “cl_physics_highlight_active 5” into the game’s console enabled wall-hacks and that some players were abusing this bug despite the fact that ranked matches are currently unavailable. The update released today makes that impossible.

Here are the patch notes for today’s CS2 update : 

Networking

  • Multiple network traffic optimizations.
  • Shooting random seeds are now correctly desynchronized between server and client code.

Visuals

  • Fixed positions of overhead labels and ping elements at different resolutions.
  • Fixed halo around enemies to not give away their locations.
  • Bomb code will now correctly clear when aborting the bomb plant.
  • Fixed rare inspect animations to be rare and not every anim.
  • Inspect then reload (“f”, “r”, “f”, “r”) more closely matches CS:GO behavior.
  • Disabled all development console commands (including “cl_physics_highlight_active 5”).

Gameplay

  • HE grenades no longer affect smokes through walls.
  • Disabled collisions between ragdolls.
  • Players will no longer drop weapons when getting a bonus weapon in Deathmatch.
  • Trajectory preview for decoy grenades is now correct.
  • Improved behavior of picking up weapons with the use key.

Input system

  • Buy menu and scoreboard now allow movement while they have focus.
  • Team intro allows voice chat.
  • Keys will no longer get stuck when opening the steam overlay.
  • Fixed many cases where user input would get confused.
  • Multiple actions cannot be bound to one key.

Sound

  • Adjustments to smoke grenade sound timing at a distance.
  • Fixed a bug where flashbang or grenade sound effect would remain if player died while having that sound effect active.
  • Added dedicated player-only sound when a grenade is correctly jump-thrown.
  • Fixed chat wheel lines to be restricted to legitimate chat wheel lines that can be configured in game options.

Dust II

  • Fixed a hole in the wall.

E3 2023 Stands Canceled

E3 2023 Stands Canceled

IGN has confirmed that the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2023 won’t be happening this year despite the fact that they marked their return almost a year ago. 

The E3 2023 was called off as it simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary for it to have been executed in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry. The ESA currently has no plans for reviving the same in the future until we get to hear anything different. 

The ESA planned on holding E3 2022 both physically and online, but both versions were scrapped.

Several Major developers and publishers including Nintendo, Xbox, and Playstation chose to back out from E3 2023 which indeed culminated in the cancellation of the event. The community was indeed looking forward to the revival of the same as their comeback to the big stage had been imminent so far. 

E3 2023 was the first Electronic Entertainment Expo to be held after the 2019 iteration which was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center before it was canceled in 2020 due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. In 2021, a digital version was conducted instead; and in 2022, it was postponed again so that organizers could concentrate on a “revitalized showcase” that would become the new gold standard for hybrid industry events.

Sony after E3 2018 decided to no longer participate and has not been persuaded back by the organizers while Nintendo who indeed is a regular at E3, didn’t have much to display this year, though, because its biggest game of the year, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, don’t come out until May. Meanwhile, reports indicated that Microsoft was reducing expenses, taking into account their cost cut-outs.

“This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what’s right for the industry and what’s right for E3,” stated Kyle Marsden-Kish, Reedpop’s Global VP of Gaming in a press release.

“We appreciate and understand that interested companies wouldn’t have playable demos ready and that resourcing challenges made being at E3 this summer an obstacle they couldn’t overcome. For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.”

In June, game publishers and developers will have another option in the form of the Geoff Keighley-produced Summer Game Fest. Microsoft and Ubisoft will still hold digital events at the Summer Game Fest which takes place June 8-10.

Post the backout of the Big 3, Indie developers were indeed marred by the unfortunate fate and cancellation of the E3 2023.  Amid rumors of a delay for the pivotal 2023 game Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft backtracked on its confirmation of presence. Sega and Tencent both issued statements confirming their withdrawal after hearing the news.

Know about the changes coming to Bind in Valorant

Know about the changes coming to Bind in Valorant

Riot Games have announced that Bind will be returning to the Valorant Competitive pool after undergoing several major revamps. 

Earlier in January, Bind and Breeze were ruled out of the game’s Competitive and Unrated map rotations. Although they never provided specific details on the exact cause of these issues, it is believed that they were related to lag or FPS drops during certain parts of matches.

This was the case when players were in some regions of any map. These problems in a first-person shooter game are incredibly detrimental to gameplay, so removing them was probably the best solution to ensure a smooth player experience.

The forthcoming 6.08 patch brings back Bind to Valorant. 

Both the A and B sites will undergo several structural alterations, but the A site is receiving a much more extensive makeover than B. 

The A teleporter room is being moved from its current isolated position to a new, more convenient location adjacent to the A shower entrance.

Even the A site is receiving a makeover, with a new triple box layout replacing the three even squares in the site’s center with an elongated section. With this new triple, defenders and attackers alike will have more room to maneuver when attempting to secure the site or defend a plant.

The site’s walls are also being adjusted as per the developers, with the back wall being flattened to accommodate heaven’s point of entrance and a new sneak-up spot for defenders being added to the side wall.

Players who assault from above no longer have to worry about being ambushed by enemies who have been hiding in the back cubby since its removal.

However, the B site’s entrance from the defender’s spawn is set to be slightly widened, and a new vent hole is introduced if the team on the retake would ever hurl a flash or a molly.

When the updated Bind is released on Tuesday, April 25th, it will present a new task to seasoned agents and breathe new life into the map.

Twitch called out by xQc for letting Neymar openly gamble

Twitch called out by xQc for letting Neymar openly gamble

Popular streamer xQc has called out Twitch for what he perceived as double standards. This came about while he was watching a gambling stream featuring football superstar Neymar Jr, which the PSG star shouldn’t be able to do after strict guidelines against online gambling were imposed by the Amazon-owned platform.

Gambling has been permanently banned on Twitch following recent controversy. However, there remain some streamers who are still doing it which goes unnoticed. Lately, Neymar Jr, who may not be the most followed streamer but is certainly more influential, has been openly gambling in live streams.



“This seems like some pick and choose bulls***” he said about the stream. “I don’t want to be some anti-Twitch bandwagoner, but this is some pretty big pick and choose dogshit based on current outrage situation to feed the morons” he said.

During his Minecraft speedrun session, he hopped onto Neymar’s stream and found him gambling online, which, for obvious reasons came as a surprise given the biggest names on the platform had to face consequences for doing the same.

This prompted him to think that Twitch doesn’t deal with celebrities in the way they do with others and the timing could not be any worse when Kick is waiting in line to take away the big dawgs.

While many argued that the Twitch rules for the LATAM region might be different to the ones for NA which is why Neymar was able to do so without any consequences, which suffice it to say was anything but compelling.
