With Valve releasing a brand new Halloween update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive a few days ago, the developers are back with yet another update. However, unlike the previous one which introduced new features into the game, this one focuses on bringing in some much-needed fixes and changes.

Release Notes for today are up focusing on various spectator, Halloween, and miscellaneous updates: https://t.co/3jRGtCMvBe — CS:GO (@csgo_dev) October 30, 2018

CSGO Update

The CSGO Update 1.36.5.8 adds in fixes for issues like the red health bar not updating and other similar UI issues. These issues are going to be much liked by the community as it helps build the game. However, this is still not the highlight of the update as the update also includes a feature which many of us have been waiting for. The brand new CSGO update finally brings back the game’s Brightness settings.

Check out the complete patch notes for CSGO Update 1.36.5.8 down below:

Spectator

Fixed red health shadow bar not updating to the correct position sometimes, particularly in the second half.

Fixed dead players sometimes showing the wrong color skull for their team on the spectator HUD.

Halloween

Updated the loading screen for spooky de_cbble.

The ghost arm models are now properly precached so they will load correctly, fixing a few issues related to view models.

Misc

Re-implemented brightness setting in Panorama video options.

Fixed long music kit names causing StatTrak MVP count to be clipped.

Fixed a case where large workshop maps would fail to upload.
