is there any way to watch a demo of someone in just regular time without the camera switching to a different player once he has died?
that's one of the biggest gripes if I just wanna watch one guys game

Yeah this is frustrating, sometimes I want to record a demo pov but I have to be nearby switch POVs. If I could record the whole demo from one POV then record while doing something away from my PC and I could edit out the parts where the person is dead and it'd be so much less time.

CS Demo Manager has an HLAE integration and can generate POVs without you needing to be there

Bind "spec_player (the player's nick)" to a key. If they have special characters, create a separate config with spec_player "The|r n&me", and bind "exec shit.cfg" to a key. If you can figure out the player's slot number (1-64) in the demo/server, you can use that instead of the name.
In CS:GO, there used to be spec_player_by_accountid. I contacted Valve a year ago to reimplement it, but nothing... We lost the technology, it seems.
And then just spam that button next round.

Its awful in CS2. Need some 3rd party garbage to make it functional. Not lightweight now it used to be. Also highlights and lowlights existed in CSGO. Need to bring it back

They should try fixing the bug where people with wh, radar cheats and aimbot are allowed to play

While on demos, can you please fix having the restart the demo just because I watched the last round?
And not auto-switch to a new player when the spectated one dies. At least give me an option

This so much.
And a way to disable (at least hide the hud at the) end screen of a match where every agent of the winning team pose would be nice.

Can they fix the bug were you have default gloves on CT pistol round after switching from T side? It's been like that for so many months now...

u/Fun_Philosopher_2535 cs_office 9h ago edited 9h ago
Idk whats the point of adding " choose a player to spectate" if the demo switch to another player as soon as the player I selected dies ? Why not after dying its switch to next round and showing his pov again like it used to be in CSGO ?
Kindly bring back POV demos, please. This would let us watch both lowlights and highlights without the demo switching to another player after we die. It's really annoying.

I could be tripping but I don’t remember it working this way in go

u/Fun_Philosopher_2535 cs_office 9h ago edited 8h ago
It had separate highlights and lowlights options in the UI, so you could watch kills or deaths without having to switch to the next player.
So perspective demo feature is needed.
5
u/DKTHUNDR Optic 8h ago
Ah I do remember the highlights/lowlights. It would fast forward in between your kills/deaths right?

The download progress disappears when you switch menu or the match page and then come back to it. No CS2 update comes without bugs

u/YoRt3m 10h ago
Did it also fix the bug where you can't download a demo of a match you just finished and have to wait a minute?
10
u/XxSuprTuts99xX 10h ago
Purely speculative, but I think this happens because the demo has to be compiled into a .dem file which takes a little time. If you have leetify and the steam friend bot thing, the "timer" is up once leetify messages you
10
u/Pokharelinishan 10h ago
In that case, why not simply grey out the download button? Right now it looks like its bugged.

Makes sense, but I had to unfriend leetify since it just kept telling me I was shite

It takes time to upload a demo? Just click delete, wait 5m, and try again.
Its not a bug, you just didn't give the server enough time to upload it

u/catzhoek 10h ago edited 5h ago
it would be cool if lobby voicechat would not be muted if you left the previous game with voice_modeenable false. It's kind of a bug anyway because you can still hear your mates, but your mic won't work.
A voice toggle button in the lobby would be nice.

u/blackmetro 10h ago edited 10h ago
Same goes for snd_voipvolume
would be nice if your binds worked outside of game (post match screen, map pick screen etc)
I have a bind that puts people on 0.01% volume (so you can still see their profile show when they talk) specifically for clutching
But if you have the clutch bind enabled on last round - as soon as the game ends and the screen that says "X TEAM WINS" apears - my bind (changing snd_voipvolume) is no longer possible - so you nothing in the post match screen or what anyone says, just everyone's voice icons show up (no sound)

u/catzhoek 6h ago
My ultimate dream would be if the game would blindly call certain commands/aliases on certain transitions of the engine, like when you load into a map.
Like "map_load_de_mirage" for example.
And you could have:
alias map_load_de_mirage exec de_mirage.cfg

Yay new Hammer tools.
e: The toolsskybox_occluder tool material wasn't packaged, you need to add it manually via the shader.

u/korinokiri 6h ago
UI Issue: When you click the > or < arrow to go to the next person. The nameplate box resizes, so your mouse may not be on those buttons if you rapid fire click them. The UI should have that box as the largest name size, not the current name size.

u/R4ID 4h ago
with the config, you can bind specific mouse x/y positions to ur radio wheel (and have multiple radio wheels like one for CT side and T side of every map) So for example, you could figure out the X/Y of every mirage instant smoke, for every spawn, and in freeze time have it line up a pixel perfect smoke for you. it was used in other ways but mostly for instant smokes that are pixel perfect (or are impossible to do without a scout/awp to lineup)

Free and chase camera are usable during a paused demo
Am I tripping? Wasnt this also possible before?
Iam sure I flew around the map in spec while the demo is paused.
And they changed the demo UI. I like it.
Now we just need bindable console comands for "skip to next round" and "skip to next kill".

I'm one of the ones complaining in the past about the lack of anticheat updates and the lack of bans.
Last few days of gameplay have been great, without cheaters in sight in Wingman and we managed to get a blatant cheater get a cooldown at 12-11 for them.
So here are my thanks. Keep up the good work, Rush is a fun addition and it's so good to play it without people ruining the experience.

u/Density5521 10h ago
Great update. Threw me, as well as several others, out of an ongoing Premier game. Needless to say, we lost the round. Thank you so much Valve! If you don't let cheaters fck up our experience, you do it yourself.

No matter how often you pathetic lot down-vote, it still happened.
Didn't fix the warmup countdown timer though, was just not important enough.

no, now my teammates aren't shooting 4 bullets, reloading and dying all the time now, the reload system update was unironically very good

u/TexBoo 8h ago
Can confirm,
My friend used to reload every few bullets, often caught him offguard
With this new system he has suddenly learned ammo management and knowing where to reload and when to reload
