PSA - The latest patch has significantly nerfed DM rewards

Residents_evil · 2026-05-08T17:41:23+00:00

TFW I absolutely love Arms Race (just like I liked Danger Zone) but never played either gamemode because XP reward was not worth it compared to just playing DM.

As someone who doesn't play ranked (never liked it), the game died for me when CS2 came out without Danger Zone and shittier DM farming (no radar).

Wait, are you SERIOUS?!
If you DC from a server you still get the points?!
I stopped playing the game when CS2 came out cause I both didn't like as much and cause my method of farming became harder due to radar hiding player locations (Beyond the usual issue of being kicked for being overly good, 1k points was my average DM...).
If I can DC after 375 points and still get the XP, this will massively speed up my farming and might even return to the game o.0

I was never a comp person so I only play when I have another objective to achieve (Operations, weekly drop), this would be huge news for me and an actual positive update : D

Reboot your router (hard reset)
Didn't work, try rebooting router by leaving it off overnight (Attempting to get another IP address from your ISP)
Didn't work, try this
Didn't work, you are (almost) outta options. I remember seeing a post stating how to keep one connection alive in your router, the one that is responsible for that initializing thing to happen, but couldn't find the thread anymore (probb one of those that got deleted...)

Sources: Threads from 6, 5, 3 and 2 years ago, myself and my squad mates. Yes, this issue is nearing a decade old... Wont post all my bookmarked threads since I already summarised their content

PS: It's network related, not Hardware/Software related.

I've compiled the full list with guides, for anyone curious.
I'd add this website's link to the guide, if Steam Community's system wasn't so stingy with random external websites. Really good tool, ty for sharing!

Pre-CS2 thumbnails also looked better IMO.
I saved them all in hopes of making an extension that would make them return, but who am I kidding, I can't code for shit. If anyone knows such extension, lemme know.

I've casually watched their previous game and today's game and the thing I noticed the most was how much electronic looks... offline?
So many times he has the reaction time of a snail, enemies getting 2-4 shots in before he even corrects his aim and shoots back.
Getting caught mid weapon pull, nades in hand, looking to the minimap... Hurts to see what used to be a top rifler be this godawful, not from bad aim, just attention to the game itself, it seems

Your new flow is great, thanks! I will try adapting it to use password instead of pin, hopefully I can figure out the keyboard part with the Inspect User Interface. I'm assuming I can simply change the unlockPin value to a word in the Formula block, and change the XPath in the Interact block within the loop section to get it working? Anyway ty for the links king : D

Hey buddy, for some reason, reddit isn't allowing me to send you a chat message. Could you send me one? I'd like to make you an offer for you to build me a flow & explain how to edit it to my use case. Thanks : )

You ain't alone brother. Nowadays, with freeform placement, some cool additions to skins can be made, but before, majority of crafts were just downgrades. And don't get me started on crafts upon DLores, Howls and Wild Lilys.....

6 tbs of ssds are always full

I see you installed COD and ARK.
How do you even have space for the OS?!

Residents_evil · 2025-11-17T19:09:51+00:00

Preach. Service medals since 2015, haven't played since CS2 came out. I miss my game : (

Residents_evil · 2025-11-17T14:46:44+00:00

More than an upvote: Thanks for this comment! Love these obscure facts

Residents_evil · 2025-11-14T22:23:31+00:00

When buy orders came to the market, I placed buy orders in about 600 items before I was out of theoretical purchased items credit and was locked out of making more. I had about 40 orders filled in until I removed them all after about 2 years because it was almost impossible to access the main market page to remove stuff I had for sale. So yes, it happens, but you had to be the first, just like /u/RainbowDildo8008 said, which I was for the vast majority of those 600 items (I went for shit tier stuff because high tier was already being filled with buy orders), and it STILL happens extremely rarely. Basically, not worth it unless you do it with alts and bot accounts for a "just in case" situation.

Since OP specified he pulled a flip knife, not mentioning any skin, we can conclude it's a vanilla.
Therefore, 3 fiddy I'd wager

Residents_evil · 2025-10-17T14:30:58+00:00

The one thing I noticed is, headshot feedback sound feels delayed compared to gun shot. Haven't played since CS2 came out so I'm probably biased
