Game-breaking invisible smoke bug has been on Linux since CS2 launch, still isn't fixed Video
2024-11-20 13:28:00Players reported a huge CS2 bug that only works on Linux. It gives a massive advantage, rendering smokes completely invisible. The glitch was first reported more than a year after the game was released.
It's unclear what exactly causes the issue, as users describe various scenarios and video settings that possibly trigger the effect. Presumably, it appears after a video memory overload. One player was able to recreate the bug.
Multiple complaints about this issue were sent to the developers on the official bug report page. Valve even closed some of them, yet the glitch persisted. The most recent report was posted on Reddit on November 20, 2024.
On November 19, Valve released a new CS2 update. Train continues to receive minor improvements. This time, the developers improved the movement around ladders. They also fixed some bugs related to disconnects and performance.
