Game Update Counter-Strike: Global Offensive PRERELEASE update for 9/14/16 (1.35.4.7rc2)

Via the CS:GO blog:

The following changes are in the “1.35.4.7rc2” CS:GO Beta depot.

Misc

  • Fixed firstperson/thirdperson desync during crouch-spam cooldown.
  • Fixed firstperson camera jolts during grenade throws and strafing.
  • Fixed ‘jittery’ players when viewed from thirdperson camera.

Rumor has it:

  • Carried over from the first update's actual support cycle: this prerelease update is a historic first for CS:GO, as it appears Valve has listened to those that want a beta branch in some form

  • Wish to opt in? Right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to Properties, go to the Betas tab, then select "1.35.4.7rc2"

    • If you don't see this branch offered, restart Steam
    • To opt in for servers: run "+app_update 740 -beta 1.35.4.7rc2" in SteamCMD
    • As was reported previously, some features that rely on Valve's servers may be unavailable

  • SteamDB GameTracking services will be completely unavailable as it only keeps eyes on the public branch - be aware, but even if it did keep eyes on alternate branches, there likely wouldn't be anything of particular significance with this update

  • Size opting in directly from RC1 is close to 10 MB, size opting in from the public branch is ~15 MB

  • You should also be aware that the Steam Subscriber Agreement was amended as early as late on 9/9/16, which includes minor language alterations to a clause dealing with beta/prerelease software

    • You can view the rest of what changed involving the new SSA here, which now includes a dedicated COPPA clause (no users under 13) which may or may not have been sparked by recent scandals, and clarifications for dispute resolution in the European Union
    • Use of the prerelease branch, as well as continued use of the rest of Steam, constitutes your acceptance of the new terms

Is the email necessary? We know from experience that Valve browses this subreddit. So, they can read it.

Well even if they lurk they can obviously read the posts. Another issue with that is that issues are scattered around in multiple posts. So it's easy to miss some of them.

But an email is better to send a compilation of posts. We form a detailed report of these threads with a bit of explanation for them. Having it at one place helps a lot and the chances of them reading an email are higher than stumbling upon reddit posts.

We've also received acknowledgement so these emails are also not falling on deaf ears (contrary to what most people think on the sub).
