Following the latest update, players are widely reporting that it\u2019s possible to see enemies through smoke grenades when a Molotov is active inside or during gunfire. This not only compromises match integrity but also raises serious concerns about Valve\u2019s testing of visual effects in the Source 2 engine.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"658\">The Issue: Smokes Have Become \u201cTransparent\u201d<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"835\">At the heart of the bug lies a major visual flaw \u2014 when fire or muzzle flashes are layered over a smoke screen, the smoke texture becomes noticeably translucent. Specifically:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"901\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">A Molotov burning inside a smoke creates a \u201cbacklight\u201d effect;<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"995\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Shooting through a smoke reveals the outlines of an enemy, as if standing in partial light;<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1082\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">It\u2019s not full transparency, but it\u2019s enough to give a clear visual and react faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1226\">This issue already existed in CS:GO, but in CS2 it has become far more visible due to the more realistic shaders and updated rendering system.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158653\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15.png 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15-1024x671.png 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15-768x503.png 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-15-1536x1006.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1281\">Technical Perspective: Why Is This Happening?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1351\">The root cause likely lies in how Source 2 handles visual rendering:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1528\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">New volumetric smoke rendering: Valve introduced a physically-based smoke simulation, which unfortunately creates unintended effects when combined with dynamic lighting.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1659\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Fire and muzzle flash effects are not rendered on top of smoke, but instead influence the shader\u2019s transparency from within.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1832\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Alpha channel rendering problems (handling of semi-transparent textures) may reduce the perceived thickness of the smoke depending on angle or light source intensity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1970\">In short, the smoke is still \u201cthere\u201d physically \u2014 but visually it breaks down, giving players a hard-to-track advantage in live matches.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1970\"><b>READ MORE:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/en\/news\/valve-updates-cs2-weekly-missions-new-maps-and-major-mode-wide-rotation\">Valve Updates CS2: Weekly Missions, New Maps, and Major Mode-Wide Rotation<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"2014\">Gameplay Impact: Balance Disrupted<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2094\">This bug undermines the fundamental role of smokes as tools for space control:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2158\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Teams can no longer rely on smokes to provide a \u201csafe zone\u201d;<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2230\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Players are beginning to use fire in smokes as a tactical \u201cwallhack\u201d;<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2233\" data-end=\"2323\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Competitive matches, especially at tournaments, risk being distorted by unfair advantages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2529\">For professional teams, this opens up new \u2014 but entirely unacceptable \u2014 strategic exploits.
