CS2 Update (May 22, 2026)

A small CS2 update focuses on polishing the in-game store experience around Major/tournament content, including cleaner naming in the main menu and more robust links to your purchase history.

Tournament Store Presentation Tweaks

• Dynamic Major naming in main menu: The fullscreen store panel for the Major/tournament section now sets an additional dialog variable, tournament_name, using a localized short event name. This suggests the store can now show more flexible, event-specific naming (for example, a shorter tournament title) in certain spots rather than relying on a single hard‑coded label.
• Updated Major store section title: In the fullscreen store layout, the label for the Major section has been updated:
  • The label now has an explicit ID: store-home-major-section-title, which should make it easier for the UI code to update or style it consistently.
  • The text token changed from #major_hub_store_title_26 to #major_hub_store_title_event, indicating the title is now tied to a more generic “current event” wording instead of a specific numbered Major. This likely helps the same UI work across future tournaments without needing separate, one‑off strings.

These changes are small but they point toward a more reusable and event‑aware Major store panel, which may make future tournament hubs feel more consistent and less hard‑coded.

Major Store Popup and Purchase History Link

• Smarter receipt button URL: The Major store popup’s receipt button (id-major-store-receipt) has been cleaned up:
  • Duplicate click handlers were removed, leaving a single action.
  • The URL the button opens now uses SteamOverlayAPI.GetAppID() instead of a fixed app ID (710).
  • The link still points to your Steam Game Coordinator purchase history (?tab=creditsaudit), but now correctly targets the current app.

For players, this should mean that when you click the receipt/history button from the Major popup, it more reliably opens the right Steam purchase history page for CS2 inside the overlay or your browser.

Build and Version Bump

• Client/server version increased:
  • ClientVersion and ServerVersion moved from 2000832 to 2000834 in steam.inf.
  • SourceRevision and build time were also updated, marking a new internal build.
• Tracking and manifest updates:
  • built_from_cl.txt now references a newer change list.
  • The main content manifest pak01_dir.txt was refreshed for the updated Panorama resources related to the store files touched in this update.

These backend changes do not introduce visible gameplay changes by themselves, but they confirm this is a distinct live build with the updated store UI logic and links.

Overall Impact

This update is narrowly focused on tournament‑related store UI:

• Major/tournament panels in the main menu can now display more flexible, event‑driven names.
• The Major store popup’s receipt button has a cleaner, app‑aware link to your Steam purchase history.
• Version markers and manifests have been bumped to package these UI improvements.

Players who interact with the Major/tournament store areas are the most likely to notice these refinements, while core gameplay remains unchanged in this build.
