why
put an ebay up, ask $10,000, say you will ONLY sell it in person, for cash. ie. they meet you, hand you cash, and watch you send them the knife. this will make history when motar2k buys it to donate to pasha.

alternatively, sell it to motar for 8k with the express purpose of giving it to pasha's kid when she knows how to play csgo

I didn't notice any change at all. Wonder what the previous distance threshold for sound being spread (does that mean mono-ified?) was.

To the guy with that knife, you really need to advertise it on private forums/reddit/maybe even d2jsp. Get all the rich nerds to see it. Sell it to them for cash with a trusted middleman(though I dunno who you can trust with like $20k lmao.) The knife will only go down in value if more pop up, sell it while yours is like the only one in existence. There have been multiple people who donated 10-20k to popular streamers, you will definitely find some oil baron or rich kid who needs to be special. For a score like this you may both have to actually pay the middle man to give him a reason not to just steal it.

Previously you'd hear distant sounds in your left or right headphone, so you could tell which direction they were. When the noises got close enough, it'd switch to both headphones so you couldnt tell the direction anymore. It sounds like they've shrunk the range at which the switchover to both happens to "so close they can knife you now"

I think it means that when someone is > 15 inches away from you, you will hear sound they make from the position they are in rather than in both ears

It was probably something larger than that previously, meaning that you can hear positional sound from closer enemies now, if that makes sense

This was also probably the source of all the vertical sound hosed-ness so that may or may not be fixed now.

My ingame sound has this awful constant static/buzzing sound that never stops but does vary in volume. At first I thought it was interference or something grounded in my case but I think I've ruled that out. I took my entire case apart and reseated everything and swapped out my cables. I don't get any static/buzz in any other media player or any of my other games.

It really seems isolated to CSGO. I've googled around and haven't been able to figure this out. Are there any sound related source commands I could try to fix this?

I got terrible buzzing when I tried to use one of those tie-pin mics people us on tv.

Do you use the front or back headphone jacks? Sometimes I get buzzing if I am using the front jacks and also have something plugged into the front USB

I was convinced it was my motherboard sound and/or the front/back ports so I bought a dedicated PCI-E sound card and its the same issue. Actually its worse with the sound blaster vs realtek. This is part of why I think its the actual game since I don't get the buzzing in any other sound playing application besides CSGO with either sound blaster or realtek.

Try unplugging all your usb devices individually in-game and see if it stops.

I know if I am charging my phone and listening to the aux jack simultaneously I can get an audible buzz feedback.

Also try running snd_restart in console and see if that makes any difference whatsoever?

eta: think you need sv_cheats 1 enabled before it lets you restart the sound though.

The drop rate for knives has been estimated to be in the 0.1% to 0.9% range. Blues somewhere probably between 75% to 79%.

I don't know what black magic some of you goons have been doing but share it with the rest of the class please.

Hey Eurogoons, if you want to solo queue in to NA East with a reasonable ping do the following.

Get "MM Server Picker" from http://csgo.gamebanana.com/tools/5684

Get WtfFast, trial/free version is fine.

Use MMSP to block all servers except NA East. Open CS and queue as normal. In the warmup you'll have your normal ping , minie is usually ~190 these days. Quit cs. Login to wtfast and start cs from there. Reconnect and you'll have a much better ping, I get between 95 and 120. If you queue again after that match you don't need to go through the process again.

If you don't go through that process the first time wtf seems to bypass the server blocks and you'll be back in Euro servers.

Theres probably better ways to do this but it works for me.

This is probably because WTFast uses their own DNS servers rather than your computer's hosts file (which is probably how "MM Server Picker" works).

From what I've heard, the server picker just bans ip ranges of servers in Windows firewall.
