CS:GO update fixes further issues with smoke grenades \u2013 February 15 patch notes Valve has once again issued an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive during their IEM Katowice Major event \u2013 fixing further issues with the game\u2019s smoke grenades. A patch was sent out on February 13, the night before the tournament started, to fix an error with the radar that allowed players to see the dots of enemies before the smoke that separated them had dissipated. The quickly made changes followed an outcry from a number of pro players, especially MIBR\u2019s Epit\u00e1cio \u2018TACO\u2019 de Melo \u2013 who tweeted his frustrations about the exploit at tournament organizer ESL asking them to fix the error. Now, Valve has once again made further corrections to the smoke grenades, fixing an error that had floating smokes extinguishing fire while not coming into contact with the flames. A fix has also been made to the C4 explosives on the terrorist side. Some players were still seeing the holiday wrapping on the bomb when planting despite that being removed from the game some time ago. However, it remains to be seen if the update will be used for the Major event that is currently underway. ESL quickly opted to use the overnight update that fixed the radar exploit but with the Major now in full swing, new updates could lead to plenty more unforeseen technical errors.
