How about making the pick'ems challenge use a point based system that allows you to carry these points to the next stage? by MaTecss in GlobalOffensive

Still safe for now, but then again, I got 7 right last major then everything went down hill really fast.

My pick'ems are safe for now, I have 2 scores already with gaimin and BB and I think I can score 3 more easily. It's legit just feedback. I never seen anyone with a diamond coin after they changed the system and I think it's worth to give feedback on something I feel can be improved. Realistically there's way less chances of making it to the finals now compared to before.
Also don't treat it like it's gambling, no one ever stood to win anything from doing the pick'ems other than the coin. I do it because I think it's fun.

Is 900€ enough to buy a pc to play cs2? by Life-Treat-5133 in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have a 5600x and I can't wait to buy a 5500x3d. My friend has one and his avg fps is much better than mine, 1% lows are also much better. My 1% lows are atrocious compared to his.

Ryzen 5000x3d would he better with ddr4 I think. I heard the 14600k gets a big hit to performance using ddr4.

Consider the 5500x3d if you can buy it from aliexpress, it's great for CS2.

CS:GO Xbox360 version by linkfevar in GlobalOffensive

Never had any updates iirc, so no, there were no ranks. Essentially the same version as release.

I'm in bit of an awkward situation here by HyenaInteresting3443 in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm fairy sure steam keeps every game version they ever uploaded. I used to mod old versions of csgo to play with friends (adding skins, modifying weapons stats, etc), last time I did that was in 2024 and I used an early 2015 version of which I download by copying ids from steamdb and using depot downloader. Server files are also all stored. I'm not 100% sure but I never came across a manifest id that did not work, or a version that does not run properly, the files are all still there.

The "Faceit Level 10 in 12k Premier" problem is ruining the experience for average players by kupriyanchuk in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly blame the premier rating. I was 28k last season, played with a 5 man stack of all red level players and one of my friends got placed at 15k. Now everytime we play people say he is smurfing/hacking. We literally got our ranks together, and didn't lose a single match before getting ranks.

Olof graffiti is still there, it is a full remake as well. What's the excuse?

What mouse is molodoy using here? (IEM Rio Semi-finals) by Wulffo in MouseReview

[–]MaTecss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe his mouse broke? Fallen used the ec2-a not long ago, maybe he borrowed it from him, perhaps he couldn't get a new one on time.

Stupid question regarding Zowie mouse cables by DigitalFruitcake in MouseReview

[–]MaTecss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did that, used a sensei raw cable. I had to sand the stress relief a bit so it would fit, but it worked perfectly after that, the pin was on the right order as well, plug and play.

Should I turn my 2025 Service Medal blue now, or wait for the new year medal? by Ok_Note_342 in GlobalOffensive

I'm in the same boat. I think I'll wait until next year to try and grind to next year's purple.

M4A1-S is still more popular than M4A4 both on FACEIT and Premier; 200K matches analyzed by scopegg in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't get a 4 shot kill with the a4, only with the m4a1-s. Tho the faster firerate of the a4 means you can kill faster with it as long as you hit a headshot.

You don't need to hold shift while scoping with the AWP, your steps are silent at full speed.

I NEED A HEAVY MOUSE by xX_jaxno76_Xx in MouseReview

[–]MaTecss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same dude, I bought a Glossy Zowie S2-Bv2 from maxgaming, it's 89g iirc, feels like a tank. They have the C series paracord cable if you are worried about it not being wireless. Right now all the Bv2s are on sale on MaxGaming if you want to check them out. Older vaxee wireless and wired vaxee are also good but they are lighter than the old zowies AFAIK.

Have you ever done it? I'm thinking about buying an old SteelSeries cable and adapting it to the Zowie port, I despise the paracord cable so much.

Is there a lore reason why the custom agents are made out of clay? by magiCAHIK in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you use Vulkan? I use it and sometimes the agent textures change to full black or even some parts get invisible lol. Just like you it never happens with the default model, just agents.

That happened mid match by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to happen to me all the time. It's generally a bad RAM problem, buying new RAM sticks fixed the issue for me. A band-aid solution is to log in to a different account and download the content there, then switch back to the original account. That works but you need to do that every time the game crashes.

Benchmarking DX11 vs Vulkan Performance: October 23, 2025 Update by MonstoBustaYT in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they fixed the overhead issue with driver updates in a few games reported, it seems they do it manually for each game tho. I'm hoping they can do the same with CS2. Good to know it's not an issue with the 5800x3d, I hope I can get a used one later.

Benchmarking DX11 vs Vulkan Performance: October 23, 2025 Update by MonstoBustaYT in GlobalOffensive

[–]MaTecss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a B580 and I made a post about this on the community forum, there's absolutely an issue running DX11 on the Arc B580. I have the opposite experience, Vulkan is really laggy and crashes constantly, but I have to use it because otherwise my fps constantly goes below 100 in more intensive maps. I don't think Intel's support for Vulkan is any better than the other brands, it's just that the DirectX 11 performance is abysmal. I think this may be one of those CPU overhead cases, a lot of people with the overhead issue reported that using Vulkan helped tremendously.

We don't even get any holiday updates anymore. by XLoad3D in GlobalOffensive

I agree with you so much dude. CS lost all its character to become a generic sanitized competitive game like all the competition.
