With the announcement that Counter-Strike 2 would be released later this year, the anticipation and enthusiasm in the CS:GO community have just reached an all-time high. The much-awaited sequel is presently live in a limited-access beta that Valve is making available to a small group of gamers. To answer player input, the developers have also begun releasing frequent patch notes for the game.
The most recent Counter-Strike 2 Patch Notes, which went live on March 30, attempts to fix one of the biggest problems that have been impairing in-game player experience. When wallhacks were used during matches, the console command “cl physics highlight active 5” was used to start them. The most recent upgrade disabled this command along with all others in the developer console.
In addition, the “inspect then reload” animation was modified in the March 30 update to better match CS:GO. Ragdoll collisions have also been eliminated. In Counter-Strike 2, HE grenades will also no longer affect or interact with smoke through barriers.

Erik “fl0m” Flom, a well-known CS:GO player, found the contested wallhack in the issue. Users of Counter-Strike 2 could view player highlights and enemy player positions via map structures by entering the aforementioned command and setting it on.
