Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 7/23/20 (7/24/20 UTC)

Via the CS:GO blog:

TRUSTED MODE

  • Trusted Mode is now the default launch mode for CS:GO.

  • Previous Trusted Mode launch options have been deprecated.

  • Instead, a new compatibility launch option “-allow_third_party_software” is provided to allow third party software to access the CS:GO game process.

  • For more information about Trusted Mode please refer to the following Knowledge Base article: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8835-KLXV-0292

MAPS

  • Added Mutiny and Swamp to official matchmaking in Casual, Deathmatch, and Scrimmage game modes.

  • Chlorine and Jungle have been removed from official matchmaking.

GAMEPLAY

  • Grenades now convey the correct amount of damage to teammates if thrown by another teammate who switched teams or disconnected.

  • Decoy grenade explosions no longer damage teammates by default. (controlled via convar ff_damage_decoy_explosion)

MISC

  • Fixed bsp-embedded models caching rules to allow for reloading the correct model when transitioning to a different map.

  • Capped view model backfaces on Desert Eagle.

  • Fixed workshop workbench texture regeneration on low shader quality GPU configurations.

  • Minor adjustments to Danger Zone delivery drone behavior for Steam Workshop Danger Zone maps.

Rumor has it:

  • The blog post doesn't contain too many words, but it has a carousel of several screenshots of Mutiny and Swamp

  • Happen to come across a map issue in either Mutiny or Swamp? To make sure map authors actually get a chance to be aware of any issues you discover, Mutiny has a discussion on its Steam Workshop page, and right now, Swamp's discussions section is looking pretty lonely

  • Although Danger Zone has no replacement for Jungle at this time (leaving just Blacksite and Sirocco in the rotation), a stray "dz_frostbite" has surfaced within client strings. Perhaps hell might freeze over soon...

  • Size is close to 400 MB - data capped users should be aware of the heightened size of this particular update
