Talk about skin drama or actual gameplay
>>2031987Bro just use /cs2g/.
>>2032023Fuck esports
>>2032043I post skins when I feel like it. Just ignore the screeching uncs.
>>2031987>>2032043basedbeen getting lower FPS since that "CPU optimization" update few weeks ago, Valve are real pieces of work. and that was supposed to be the 2 year update since release, nothing new except the noobifying defuse mechanic.
I have no idea why Counter Strike on 4chan was always so esports focused. I recall seeing threads on /vg/ and its always >The games figured out AMERICAN let us talk about eslop!!!!CS2 is just hit or miss for me, its been nearly 2 years and it has little over GO at this point
>>2032106>lower FPSWhat lower fps are we talking about? I have an FX8350 and a GTX960 and I get stable ~120fps on low settings.
surf is pretty much dead in CS2 due to changes we on momentum mod then fellas?
>>2032121Not him but whenever I play my fps just gets worse and worse the longer I play
>>2032139Average fps or just the lows? Before switching to W10 LTSC I had similar average fps but had the issue that every couple of minutes the game would drop to single digit fps.
>>2032126As far as I know all the surf niggas play CS Source
>Even as the ship is sinking all people do is fight amongst each other just enforce the steam market fully holy fuck
>>2032192Valve doesn't pay out your market sales in cash so they'll never be as interesting as the alternatives.
>>2031987What have you anons crafted?
>>2032317I'm waiting for thursday in the hopes that the lifted trade restrictions drop the prices a bit further. I'm eyeing a Kukiri Blue Steel and Specialist Field Agent gloves.
>>2032317I’m hoping for cheapo combos like $60 combos, I doubt it but I’m eyeing a Tiger Bowie + overture gloves
>>2032357Holy moley
spawn immunity on DM is really fucking long for no good reason and it takes like one line of code to fix it to something normal
>>2032147Average fps would be a solid 100 and then it'd turn into a very choppy 80 that feels like 50
>>2032317I don't buy cases or any of that shit because it's kinda dumb to me so none
>>2032573Specs and settings?
>>2032317I have €330 in CSfloat funds (sold my knife the week before the update) and I'm 100% going to buy the most expensive thing within budget. Probably a karambit
>>203251990% of all DM happens on community servers Check out cyberchoke
>>2031987I have finally come to peace with the fact that if I am going to continue playing CS2 in the future, I need to upgrade my build which last had a CPU put in it (i7-9700k) but otherwise has a GeForce GTX 1080 in it and only one stick of 16 GB of RAM. Would upgrading to 32 GBs with two sticks be an immediate improvement?I just want to be able to stop playing this game with terrible framerates and borderline intolerable graphics. Playing ESEA last night made even playing de_inferno intolerable and my PC would go down to sub 60 frames in every aim duel. I partly blame the Faceit AC.
>>2032998A 9700k and 1080 should be easily able to handle CS2 on 1080p. Single stick ram isn't optimal, you'll definitely get a small boost if you run dual channel sticks. Are you overclocking? Also there's some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel app you can fiddle around with that will get you a bit more fps.>borderline intolerable graphicsWhat does that mean? You don't want to play on low settings?>I partly blame the Faceit ACYeah. Make sure there's as few programs running in the background as possible. Disable launching on system start for all apps you don't need.
>>2033005>borderline intolerable graphicsEver since CS2 came out, low graphics genuinely look bad. There appears to be a weird film grain sort of effect applied, contrast is god awful, and the current res I play on (16:10 stretched) just seems overall worse in CS2. I can't explain it but if that's the was CS is, then I will just try to pump out as many frames as possible.>blame Faceit ACOh and Windows 11, fuck Windows 11. I should have installed TinyWin11 but I think a lot of it also has to do with that. Anyways will check overclocking settings because I am not overclocking at all currently. Also>NVIDIA control panel settingsGot a guide for optimal settings?
>>2033023Update to this: fucked around with my settings in the NVIDIA control panel, will be unable to check results until I have a moment to play a pick up game w/ the anti-cheat running when I get out of work for the day.
>>2033023>weird film grain sort of effect appliedThat sounds like the game is up-scaling. Check if picrel is set to disabled.>Got a guide for optimal settings?I followed this and got a couple fps more. https://tradeit.gg/blog/best-nvidia-settings-for-cs2/
>>2032120I played a lot with csgog in 2012-14~ and while we did talk about the big events it wasn't the main focus of the thread.
>>2033005>>2033040CS2 is stupidly demanding and even on low settings with "100+ fps" the game is really just running at 10 fps at moments when any action happens on screen. Literally the only way to play this game to a passable degree is by getting a Pajeetzen CPU with the x3d suffix. >>2033023The film grain is often the result of "high dynamic range" being turned off.
>>2032998This game is CPU heavy as fuck. You can't upgrade your PC without getting a new motherboard. I've gone through 2 CPU's already since the launch of CS2 just trying to get the game to feel nice and smooth. The solution for me was a Ryzen 5 7600X3D. Before that I had the normal 7600 and the game still ran like shit.
>>2033200>the game is really just running at 10 fps at moments when any action happens on screenMine doesn't. Seems like a skill issue on your end.
>>2031987i warned /biz/ so i'll warn you fags toothere's tens of thousand of knives ready to hit the community market over the course of 24 hours tomorrow.series one knives, gamma knives, riptide knives & more will all crash harder than a drunk asian on tet.based off community market data, 145,257 reds from the riptide and dreams & nightmares cases were sold in the 24 hours after the update released. Once crafted, that makes 29,032 new riptide series knives ready to hit the market over the course of one day once trade cooldowns expire. For context, 7,661,994 op riptide and D&N cases were opened last month. Since there's an average 1 in 390 chance of pulling a knife that means roughly 19,646 knives were unboxed over the last month from this collection.Long story short 1.477x the number of riptide knives unboxed last month are ready to hit the market over the course of ONE. DAY.Dawn of the final day.24 Hours Remain (until major cheapies).
>>2033954I was coping on good knives being cheap but will we see all the gutter tier knives hitting rock bottom lows for like $20?
>>2033961certain collections? absolutely. We're talking crate depression levels of market saturation here, i remember picking up unusuals that were normally like 15 keys for about 1 key and change on the community market a 0.10x is absolutlely possible during the initial panic. However, because of the quickly narrowing volume of sales beginning ~20h post update combined with the continuing red sales at ~$300 per tradeup these prices wont last.i'm gonna get me a nice phase 2 full pink doppler and call it "Argyle Pink Diamond" and a battle scarred rust coat navajo knive and call it "Anti-Boostrix" and i'm going to pay less than 100 australian dollarydoos for the pair.
>>2034012What about the expensive ones like butterfly? I’d like a ST MW Damascus Steel but I wouldn’t pay over 300€ since I already got a beautiful Damascus Paracord
>>2034083it's less about individual knife rarity and more about the pre-update abundance of red skins for a given knife's collection. For example, that damascus butterfly comes from the spectrum collection, the cheapest red from that collection was the p250 see ya later, and about 20k of those were sold 24h PU so you can expect a bit of a dip, meanwhile that paracord is a fever knife of which at least 30k reds were sold so the dip ratios will be comperable with a bigger discount on fever knives.
>>2034083>20k of those were sold 24hIs that just the Steam market or does that include trade sites?
I don't believe for a second prices aren't going to plummet much more than they already have. I'm waiting for a month or so. By that time people had enough time to sell reds, buy them, wait for tradelock, tradeup, wait for tradelock, then sell
lmao you cucked skincels still haven't killed yourselves?Get to it already.Chop chop chinkies.
It's starting to feel like GODlige can win this event
>>2034880Oh wait wrong thread
Is there any one making normal maps for CS2 or is it just a dead art?
>>2034892why would they make maps
>>2034989So randoms playing the game can complain about the newly made map not being Mirage or Dust2?
>skin investor panic sells>abuses the steams trade reversal to not lose money the next day>gets banned on csfloat, has to publicly apologize to salvage his channelhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7g3EX8PRMc&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD
>>2034989I mean people used to make maps that weren’t jokes like 747 even crackhouse was originally a hostage map
>>2035261I hope this shit all utterly tanks tommarow to fuck everyone up the markets not healthy if people are too scared to sell digital items for actual not absurd prices
today ill remind everyone that talking about the game creates blogposting niggers, 1k elo retards posting their matches and trooncord and reddittroon infiltrationdont believe me? just the the filth that is /vg/hope the jannie nukes this shit or moves it where it belongs (/vg/)
>>2035329Esports is for fuckin losers
>>2035342Why do you play cs yet hate esports?
>chill out in casual>it's 5v2 (+3 bots)>enemy guy throws some weird grenades>spectate him>he's blatantly wallhacking>against BOTSthe absolute state
>>2035329>t. 1k elo retard
Bros..I don’t think nice combos will actually be cheap
>>2035261lol what a faggot
>>2035542I’m hoping for tiger tooth or black laminate Bowie to tank Tigers look good with overtake gloves which are cheap
>>2033005Thank you very much for recommending some stuff. I don't know if this was because we didn't play Inferno this evening or what, but my ESEA match tonight was infinitely more tolerable and we won with all of us above 12 RWS.
why do vanilla knife skins in CS have "float" if they're all the same?
Did it begin? I barely see any significant decreases yet.
>new to cs >try hard but hardstuck 5khow get gud when no fren?solo feels like a lottery
ngl I kinda like deadlock more fr
>>2032106The game will keep running worse with every update. The same happened in csgo, vanilla ran better than the final build (panorama update was the biggest factor, but not the only one). The only way to offset is to just get an x3d CPU, a decent GPU and play sub-native.
Bros??? The prices aren’t tanking
Yeah valve are gonna ban third party websites now this is not what they wanted the prices are going back up on buff
>>2036140post demo
What happens if you mix in glove collection reds with knife ones? Does it let you trade up just the same?
our flychads lost???
Skin talk morning: anyone have any particular collection they like in general? I have the entirety of the Office Collection and I really like it. I hope since Office has had a facelift sine then that they follow up on it, or when they release the cbble remake that they have more arctic themed collections.The most recently released collection they've released that I enjoy is the Ascent Collection and I have almost every skin in it Factory New except for the M4A1-S Stratosphere.>>2036345Works like any other tradeup where you have a chance to pull anything from any collection you put in, so you can mix it and potentially get gloves or a knife.
Post-Unlockening crash updatePrices of knives dropped to similar levels as right after the update for ~4h post unlock, reds dropped more dramatically, both have now leveled, will most likely be another dip once burgers wake up.These effects represent the first 2 hours of post update skin sales. Tomorrow the other ~19 hours of of crafted skins will hit the market at the same time, but far less people will be watching. People heard about another incoming crash, it "didn't happen", and now they're moving onto the next thing. This takes a lot of liquidity and awareness out of the equation which was the main limiting factor in price drop.Also the drop in price of reds is less likely to repeat since the prices rose mostly during the initial few hours. The prices leveled our after that point so it's more likely they will have been crafted into knives rather than held for resale
>>2032519Yeah that sucks, spawn positions too, someone kills me and then I spawn like three meters behind him wtf>>2032317Nothing, was waiting for a drop to buy a bowie tiger tooth or rust coat full wear but it didn't happen
>>2036361I sold my M4A4 Desert Strike that was just floating in my inventory that I never used to begin with, and I'm so happy that those had value now. As for buying the dips, unfortunately my wallet worth is tied up in a long-term Fracture and Recoil Case investment I made earlier this year, so if I wanted to get the two last things I really want for the time being (Classic Knife vanilla + M4A1-S Stratosphere FN) I'm going to have to wait for a while. I'm not going to be putting money onto my Steam Wallet and I haven't done so in years on account of good case yields in the past.Anyways good analysis, tyvm
almost done slurping gloves, just a couple more
>No ursus vanilla for 50 dollarrinosFuck this life bro
Yeah the crash is not happening or people are too slow to sell, all the trader scum are acting smug over their inflated inventories Unless valve do something again the shits gonna go back to where is used to be
damn these roaches fucking SUCK
Diamond hands win again
>>2036386Valves gonna nuke third party websites real soon
>>2036375how much did that superdoncutor and hedge maze cost you? also what are the wears cause backpack icons always fucking sucked
>>2036140death match and watch pro plays to learn better positioning, utility usage, etc. some of it won't be applicable due to the level of players you're playing against but you should be able to figure it out with trial and error
>>2036391
>>2036401had them for a while obviously, those are not new. the non sports are new as well as scarlets
>>2036401>have $1000 on steam>nobody ever sells anything coolI assume bots and buy orders snipe the doppler gems for good knives?
I traded up some reds and got theseWhat is a good knife to pair it with?The slaughters seem too pink and the crimson webs too dark
>>2036421Hear me out A Battle Scared crimson web Bowie knife I am not trolling
>>2036421Autotronic seems like a general lock with that specific coloring. As for knife choice, I'd like to see this combo w/ the Shadow Daggers if you can inspect these in-game and take a screenshot here. M9 Bayonet seems angular enough too to where it might also look good as well.Another good choice is Black Laminate but they of course lack color.
HOOXED
>o lost all my money on 1's and 0's
My nightwish ak stattrak actually went up in value about $30, it was nearly up $50 yesterday but dropped slightly
uhhhhhh where is the great reset I've been promised?
>>2036426Check out Well Worn Classic Knife Crimson Web
>>2036421A ruby knife of course :)
>>2036421Get classic vanilla and larp as 2019 dev1ce
Do I get 1 cheap black pearl knife or a knife/glove combo?
this rally make-a me hardthe coming crash was a perfect storm bar the fact everyone and their dog though it would happen creating far too much buyer's pressure, the fact only 2 hours of skins were released and the rest are on hold til ~6 hours from now means the current rally is people who were waiting for the crash panic buying because they now think it isn't going to happen.Bye-Bye excess liquidity.
>>2036645>>2036643>>2036642>>2036429>>2036426Here’s what I got after trading up all my FT/BS redsWas it worth it?
>>2037675The knives arent crazy but your Kimono Gloves saved everything and Omega Gloves are good too
>play casual>2 teammates have been afk for 2 rounds>try to votekick>nobody presses f1it's all so tiresome
>>2037973I hope the market shakeup cuts down on case farmers
Err… the dip? Where is it, guys? You told me there would be an invasion of knives & gloves.
>>2037675Float and pattern for the kimonos? Probably made you 90%+ of your money.
>>2038282They look a lot better than the float suggestsI guess I got a decent pattern, the only wear is a gray line around the knuckle
>>2038370oof
