Counter-Strike 2 Update Adds Workshop Annotation Support
A minor Counter-Strike 2 update brings CPU performance optimizations and spectator crosshair alignment. The patch introduces new command support for updating Steam Workshop map annotations.
Counter-Strike 2 receives an update centering on workshop workflows, spectator settings, and performance improvements.
Performance and Spectating
The update delivers performance optimizations for select CPU-bound scenarios. When spectating, the follow recoil setting obeys the target player's crosshair settings if that crosshair is visible.
Workshop Annotations
Creators gain support for updating existing map annotations via Steam Workshop using the workshop_annotation_submit command followed by the submission ID. Providing an unowned ID generates a new submission, and subsequent updates embed the ID automatically.
Why this patch matters
This utility patch streamlines custom map maintenance for creators while tightening spectator display accuracy.
