Valve quickly patches accidental boost bug brought in by latest update

Valve released a new CS2 update last night that focused on fixing a number of minor issues related to gameplay and even some cosmetics of the user interface.

Player names are now visible on the mini scoreboard, the post-death damage indicators are more pronounced and sharper-colored, and an effort was made to solve some of the player boosting issues.

Somehow, in that fix, Valve created an additional boosting issue which allowed players to essentially float in the air and created a three-man boost with only two players.

However, just a few hours later there was another update to fix that issue and the boosting issue was finally solved.

You can see the full changelog below:
