with X and Y your resolution's width and height respectively. Doesn't work for me though...
I suspect some bad usage of DirectX (considering the fix, and the fact that Linux and MacOS versions aren't affected apparently). Why hasn't this been put in beta is beyond me though... I thought they were on the right path but there's still a few hiccups. :|
Deployed Holiday Cheer for your festive fragging season.

Added new audio option that enables Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) processing on in-game sounds. The goal is to vastly improve 360 degree vertical and horizontal sound positioning.

NOTE: For an optimal experience with HRTF, we recommend turning off any external 5.1 or 7.1 surround audio driver options.

Increased the input curve amount so that rate of volume decay over distance is more pronounced.

The fog at CT spawn has to go. At some positions, you cant even see what your mates baught. And it almost halfs my FPS (high settings). The CT spawn itself needs to be moved from where it is now over the small bridge in the middle of the "pear". At the moment CTs are at the door of Bside, while Ts are rushing in. Without a molotov from outside into the windows of B side, you cant deny Ts the B side control and its a clusterfuck.
Some strange boost spots.
A is easy not so hard to hold, most games I played revolved on only one person holding A from far away, 2 being in the yard and 2 try to get B side control. With Window, balcony, a fast boost to ramp (or a jump, if you are mad enough) + 1 or 2 smokes, you got the side locked. The problem is, that if any T sneaks or fights its way through B side, water or yard to the grand line, aka the pier, he flanks you so hard, that you are close to losing the game.
Also the bomb spots are bangable from everyfuckingwhere. Its even viable to just hold A from CT spawn and window and if the window guy hears the bomb getting planted, spray A side and you wallbang the planter most of the time.
All in all I like canals, but it is expected that they will have to change major parts like they did with Overpass. Think about that map made by valve, how it was released and how good it is now. Should happen to Canals too. And on top, maybe even 9 maps mappool hype? I expect canals and Dust II getting moved into the active duty pool at once.
Added new server log lines for the end of freezetime and blind players. With mp_logdetail set to 3, will now also spew player equipment when they leave the buy zone.

...No shit, I really enjoyed the Negev, it is an awesome (though very expensive) weapon that is flat out OP as soon as you hit max recoil since it just draws a horizontal line - aka probably the easiest recoil ever. I am GE and that thing is one of my favourite weapons to hold sites, aim at knee/hip height, pull the trigger – first guy gets a headshot, maintain proper height and move mouse left/right according to recoil – everyone gets a headshot. Rushes get totally shut down (especially eco rushes where they try to just rush a side from one entrance. And even I die, they only get a Negev and since no one knows how to use that thing, it’s no big deal for your team), and I can’t count the times where I just mowed down almost the whole enemy team through a smoke or while full flashed.
TLDR: Negev best, I want it back, no changes needed : D
The new Negev is hilarious. The run speed is like walk speed. The initial spray is a like a jump spray. Then after a couple of seconds it turns into a laser. Totally useless in DM, but I can see its use in competitive. If only it wasn't essentially a sci-fi gun like the revolver. Also the sound changes according to whether it is in laser mode or not, but both sound piss weak. I really don't understand why they are trying to make the revolver a thing. Maybe Valve developers want to turn CS into TF3.
