CS2 Update September 9, 2026

MAPS

Cache

• Fixed various gaps in map.

• Fixed a wallbang spot on B site.

• Added a missing competitive CT spawn point.

• Added additional T spawn points.

MAP SCRIPTING

• Reworked CSPlayerCamera:

  • Renamed it to CustomPlayerCamera.

  • Added GetPlayer, GetMode, SetMode, and SetFollowConfig.

  • Deprecated IsEnabled, SetEnabled, and SetIsControllingAngles.

• Added an 'observable' property to custom_hud_layout that controls whether an observer sees the UI as the spectated player sees it. Defaults to false.

• Fixed several bugs related to stale custom_hud_layout state when changing spectator targets.

• Added top-level custom_hud_layout classes driven by client state:

  • HUD_BUYMENU_VISIBLE

  • HUD_SCOREBOARD_VISIBLE

• custom_hud_layout now always draws on top of the base HUD.

MISC

• Chat is now encrypted in demo files using the same rules as CS:GO :

  • Team chat is no longer readable when playing back demo files.

  • Global chat is only readable in demo files when played back via the in-game watch UI.
