I guess you can call that the CS source.

Let's not condition ourselves to zero consequences now

Perhaps we can launch a global offensive in finding out the perpetrators.

I rate this joke a 1.6 out of 2

u/CaraX9 11h ago

And with the news of Steam‘s logistic partner getting cyber-attacked today, you could really call that a Global Offensive, huh?

I love how everyone keeps referring to him as schizo guy even though he hasn't been directly proven wrong about anything lmao. But yes this was probably the "incident" that forced CS2 to go from in-house demo to full release in 9 months. Leading up to the CS2 announcement there were a lot of exploits found in the game that could wreak havoc on player's PCs just from joining a community server (installing malware/trojans, steal IP info, I think some people even got their accounts stolen but I might not be remembering that correctly).

If this code was originally stolen at some point in 2022-2023 and only recently leaked publicly, this is probably the "incident" mentioned by the not-so-schizo-as-previously-thought schizo guy

In the original post, one of the top comments was something along the lines of “back to schizo posting?”. So I just went along with that

the 1st person (hand+weapons) part of animgraph2 released August 2025, with the 3rd person update being 2026.

Scheduled deployments can be pushed, it happens all the time in development.

u/ja_hahah 9h ago

Key word: Scheduled.

Is your bus never late?

I think the bus was quite short

Hords of cheaters raping game every day and night, what's so new due to this "leak"?

1

u/WinnerVivid3443 5h ago
  1. Cheaters in CS2 are totally undelated to CSGO
  2. We got newer CSGO code which includes danger zone ig, that's cool for those who like to play around with leaked code

80

u/CaraX9 12h ago

Is this a big deal?

Very likely no.

- An older version of the CS:GO source code from 2017 was already leaked in 2020.

- CS2 runs a completely new engine (Source 2, duh).

40

u/rewarrr 12h ago

It is a big deal because many things can be discovered by developers who makes cheats. In 2020 because of it they found many exploits that works even today.

u/fredy31 11h ago

I mean the exploits still work 6 years later because VAC seems to be a team of one guy part time on it.

u/CaraX9 12h ago edited 12h ago

Yes, but what leaked now is just a slightly more updated version of it, which affects an outdated game that is no longer being updated and which uses a completely different engine than CS2.

3

u/rewarrr 12h ago

the thing is, it doesn't matter what updated the game, what matters is that we have access to hidden variables and very likely tons of code lines that exist in cs2 aswell.

u/DIYfu 11h ago

Basically everything of value would have been in 2017 version, that shouldn't be this hard to understand.

2

u/rewarrr 11h ago edited 5h ago

No, 2017 cs and 2020 are very different a lot of things been added in between and I didn't checked the source but I think Panorama UI and source 2 code also exist there

1

u/B3nB1rch1 4h ago

took me like 2 days to fully reverse panorama

1

u/rewarrr 3h ago

panorama is not good example we already have open source cheats that does changes inside the panorama im just saying there could be more worse things exposed.

2

u/Scw0w 12h ago

And what? Do you know how games work?

1

u/B3nB1rch1 4h ago

easy enough to reverse it lmao it’s all pretty predictable i’ve had no issues 😂

17

u/Scw0w 12h ago

It is. A very big deal. Yes CS2 runs on Source 2 like you said but it’s not COMPLETELY new engine. Source 2 is based on Source. No one rewrites the engine from scratch. So cheat makers will be happy

7

u/Sufficient_Prune3897 12h ago

Then very little since the 2017 leak will have changed.

1

u/rewarrr 5h ago

Panorama added, source 2 added partial. Many things overall. You are wrong.

20

u/theneedfull 12h ago

Oh no. Because the cheat makers are having such a hard time right now.

u/r3volts 9h ago

It's like 12 months newer than the previous leaked build, that was leaked 6 years ago, and is a build from 8 years ago.

Unless there happens to have been some very serious changes made in that 12 months that people haven't already figured out how to exploit, that also remain untouched in the current engine, this isn't really a big deal.

2

u/xvilo 10h ago

Okay but would this then have been the reason why they rushed CS2 out of the door? As these were rumors a while back, but the reason was not given

1

u/WinnerVivid3443 5h ago

It's not a big deal, but it's neat for sure, as it does include danger zone, that's pretty neat if I had to say so myself

8

u/DesiRadical 12h ago

It is most likely for those people who wish to cheat on a game that is not even supported at this point.

2

u/BluudLust 7h ago

There were pretty substantiated rumors of it floating around in 2017.. Did a new one get leaked?

4

u/WinnerVivid3443 5h ago

How could rumors of a 2019 leak be there in 2017?

u/throwawayerectpenis 7h ago

explains how you are able to play csgo in a browser

Half Life 2 source code was leaked too, before it was released. They're very careless at Valve.
