At the end of June, Valve released a beta version of Counter Strike: Global Offensive, which added new tools to combat cheaters. Any player can download it – To do this, you need to switch to the appropriate update branch in the settings. Valve encourages players to try it out to do their part to combat cheaters, but notes that due to the nature of the beta version, the game may experience bugs and freezes.
One of the main innovations of this version will be more serious restrictions on the use of third-party programs that could interact with game files, thus allowing you to gain an unfair advantage. By launching CS:GO along with a suspicious program, the player will see a warning and will also not be able to access VAC-protected servers.
At the same time, the update may cause problems for developers of auxiliary programs that are not cheating. Valve will release a list of requirements that such applications will have to meet in order not to be blocked.
Probably, these updates will soon be added to the main branch – however, not before the developers fix some problems. In particular, many players note that this version of the game suffers from short-term freezes. You can expect the developers to fix this bug in the near future.
