Counter-Strike 2’s February 7 patch notes are here, and the update brings various bug fixes and removes the recently added XP Overload icon. 

After an immense amount of hype, Valve finally dropped a massive update for Counter-Strike 2 on February 6, adding a plethora of new skins in CS2’s first weapon case, a new Zeus skin, and a major change to customizable sticker placements

Despite the sticker update bringing about some very explicit sticker crafts, the update has been a roaring success for the devs as hype once again builds up for the game. 

And Valve has seen fit to come out with another patch to fix up some bugs, and also the removal of the XP Overload icon just a day after its addition. 

So here is all you need to know of Counter-Strike 2’s February 7 patch notes. 

Counter-Strike 2 February 7 patch notes

Stickers

  • Fixed a bug where AMD graphics users couldn’t move stickers
  • Stickers with custom offsets will now render properly when inspecting other items in-game from Steam Community Market and Steam Inventory

Smoke

  • Various bug fixes and tweaks

Sound

  • Fixed a performance bug with certain microphone setups

Networking

  • cl_interp can no longer be changed directly. Some players had scripts that were setting this to a large value, leading to very bad rubber-banding. The interpolation amount can be adjusted through the “Buffering to smooth over packet loss” setting instead

Animation

  • Fixed a bug with the Kukri knife inspect animation
  • Fixed a bug where a player holding an incendiary grenade would sometimes show fire effects at their feet

UI

  • Removed XP Overload icon from the kill feed
  • The swap weapon prompt will now show the weapon/finish name rather than the custom name
  • Fixed a bug with switching background maps while inspecting gloves

MAPS

Vertigo

  • Fixed a gap in world geometry at Crane

Misc

  • Fixed a bug with keyboard input from non-English keyboard layouts
