A separate block of fixes was traditionally applied to the Anubis map, where physical interactions, clipping, and the minimap were updated.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Changes to landing mechanics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The most important innovation concerns player movement physics. Now, vertical velocity during landing directly affects movement speed penalties. The mechanic has begun to work according to logic similar to the old stamina system based on the sv_legacy_jump variable in CS:GO.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, this means that the higher and more aggressive the fall, the stronger the slowdown a player will experience after landing. This approach makes movement more readable, removes some \u201cexploit-style\u201d jumps, and brings CS2 physics closer to the classic Counter-Strike feel that professional players are used to.<\/p>\n<p>For the competitive scene, this is potentially a very important change. Space control, peek timings, and the dynamics of aggressive pushes will now depend more strongly on the quality of jump execution and movement trajectories.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/anders-blume-breaks-down-fut-overpass-vs-furia\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Main-x-Name-100.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Anders Blume breaks down FUT Overpass vs. FURIA\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/anders-blume-breaks-down-fut-overpass-vs-furia\">Anders Blume breaks down FUT Overpass vs. FURIA<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/anders-blume-breaks-down-fut-overpass-vs-furia\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 23<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>VAC: erroneous bans revoked<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a separate point, Valve confirmed a serious technical malfunction due to which a small number of players received VAC bans by mistake. The company officially stated that all such bans have been revoked and the affected accounts fully restored.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the rare cases when developers publicly acknowledge an error in the operation of the anti-cheat system. For the community, this is an important signal, since the topic of VAC has always been extremely sensitive. Valve showed that in the event of critical mistakes, the system can be reviewed and corrected without attempts to quietly cover up the situation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Interface and server stability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The update also fixes a bug due to which HUD safezone settings were not applied for some users. For many, this may seem minor, but in competitive play even correct placement of interface elements matters.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Valve traditionally reported a series of server stability improvements. Although without technical details, such fixes usually relate to reducing crashes, micro-lag, and desynchronization, which is especially important for matchmaking and FACEIT-like platforms.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Anubis: physics, clipping, and updated radar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Anubis map received several targeted but important fixes. A situation was corrected where physical objects could interact with multiple overlapping water volumes at the same time, which caused unpredictable behavior of grenades and other items.<\/p>\n<p>Adjustments were also made to player clipping. Such changes are usually aimed at eliminating places where players could get stuck, gain unintended advantages, or, conversely, lose control of their character.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the radar minimap was updated to match the latest geometric changes to the map. For professional teams, this is critical, since the radar is one of the main tools for navigation and positional control.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why this update is important<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This patch looks like a typical \u201cstabilization\u201d update, but in reality it has a much deeper impact. The change to landing mechanics directly affects the fundamental aspects of movement in CS2, gradually shaping the game\u2019s new physics. This is another step toward finally moving away from CS:GO\u2019s legacy and forming CS2\u2019s unique identity.<\/p>\n<p>The cancellation of erroneous VAC bans increases trust in a system that has been under close scrutiny from the community in recent months. And the Anubis fixes demonstrate that Valve continues to actively work on the competitive quality of maps.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/furia-defeat-heroic-blast-bounty-2026-quarterfinal\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-32-1.webp\" alt=\"FURIA edge HEROIC in a three-map quarter-final at BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/furia-defeat-heroic-blast-bounty-2026-quarterfinal\">FURIA edge HEROIC in a three-map quarter-final at BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/furia-defeat-heroic-blast-bounty-2026-quarterfinal\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778248474#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 22<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>CS2 update<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/730\/view\/511855214544815765\">The Counter-Strike 2 update<\/a> turned out to be comprehensive and focused on stability and fair play.
