CS2FOW v0.2.2-preview

This compatibility hotfix supports CS2 build 24209309.

What changed

  • Updated the strict Windows and Linux server fingerprints for the latest CS2 binaries.
  • Removed an obsolete Valve string-token database import that disappeared in this game update.
  • Rewrote the README in simpler language and added new visibility, smoke, HE, and map demonstrations.

The LOS points, movement and ping preload, smoke occlusion, HE smoke clearing, teammate filtering, lifecycle protection, and CheckTransmit behavior are unchanged from 0.2.1-preview.

Installing

  1. Update your CS2 server and Metamod:Source.
  2. Extract the Windows or Linux core ZIP into the server's game/csgo folder.
  3. Optionally extract the official-map ZIP into the same folder.
  4. Load a map and run cs2fow_status.

CS2FOW intentionally refuses to activate when the loaded CS2 server binary does not exactly match its verified fingerprint. This is safer than guessing after a game update.

Prepared artifacts

  • cs2fow-0.2.2-preview-linux-x86_64.zip

  • SHA256SUMS.txt
  • v0.2.2-preview-manifest.json
  • CHANGELOG.md

The official-map bundle reuses the validated 23 map pairs from CS2 app build 24134959; the maps are repackaged, not rebaked. Final source and artifact hashes are recorded in the release manifest after CI.

Validation boundary

Automated tests verify the Windows and SteamRT Linux builds, package contents, binary fingerprint data, and the existing visibility systems. Live-server testing remains the authority for engine-side entity behavior.
