CS2’s latest update improves the Workshop tab with better sorting, badges, and quick actions, adds fully localized pet book artwork, and tightens network safety limits for servers and clients.
- Workshop maps in the Play menu now sort by readiness and expose hover actions to view, unsubscribe, or remove installed content with clear confirmations.
- Pet book UI pages now use new per-language title images backed by a language-aware Panorama system and refreshed art assets.
- New network and server controls enforce message size limits and refine CPU-time protections for client messages, improving robustness against abusive traffic.
