CS2FOW v0.2.3-preview

This compatibility hotfix supports CS2 build 24248951.

What changed

  • Verified the updated Windows and Linux server binaries against CS2FOW's private runtime layout.
  • Updated the strict server fingerprints required for safe activation.
  • Rebaked the four official maps whose source files changed: cs_shelter, de_boulder, de_eldorado, and de_fachwerk.

Valve did not change the executable server code, engine2, tier0, CheckTransmit layout, smoke layout, or game-event layout in this update. Normal visibility behavior is unchanged from 0.2.2-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-0.2.3-preview-windows-x86_64.zip
  • cs2fow-0.2.3-preview-linux-x86_64.zip
  • cs2fow-0.2.3-preview-official-maps.zip
  • SHA256SUMS.txt
  • v0.2.3-preview-manifest.json
  • CHANGELOG.md

The official-map bundle reuses the 19 unchanged map pairs and includes fresh bakes for the four changed maps. All 23 pairs are validated before packaging. 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.
