AMD GPU users simply need to update their drivers to fix the issue
Valve has been regularly releasing new CS2 updates to fix various problems in the game. Players are already playing the game in professional tournaments but the Tier 1 events featuring CS2 are coming soon. As such, Valve has been very active in its updates. Here’s all that’s new in the latest October 8 CS2 Update.
CS2 Surrender Option now requires Majority vote
The surrender option in CS2 now requires the majority of players to vote yes. This means no one person can hold the vote hostage if they don’t want to surrender.
Previously, the surrender option required all players (apart from the player who called for the vote) to vote yes. Even if one player voted no, or abstained, it would count as a failed vote and the match would continue. Since teams can only call a vote once per half, it was a hit or miss.
Besides the Surrender option changes, the latest update also fixes the AMD shader compilation problems in CS2. Valve had previously mentioned they are working with AMD to provide a fix. The fix is now live and players simply need to update their drivers.
