Pre-Release Notes for 8/2/2017
2017.08.02 - 
The following changes are in the “1.35.9.7-rc1” CS:GO Beta depot.
[ GAMEPLAY ]
– Shipping initial changes to pistols with the goal of emphasizing skillful use of the weapons, beginning with the Tec-9.
— Tec-9: The Tec-9 has been adjusted to emphasize aiming while retaining the weapon’s high mobility. The current changes include:
– – slightly improved accuracy when taking a single shot
– – significantly reduced accuracy when firing rapidly
– – magazine and reserve ammo reduced to 18 and 90, respectively
– Extended the existing camera height restriction system to include cases where a player is in the air, preventing the first-person camera from rising above their third-person head.
– Players will now make a landing sound if they un-crouch while crouch-jumping.
– Fixed several inconsistencies where sounds were not broadcast when a player was occluded by a wall. (Thanks, simpleavaster!)
[ LINUX ]
– Cleaned up the way CS:GO launches so there is one fewer process

[ SERVERS ]
– Added a convar tv_allow_camera_man_override that must be set on the game server to allow camera man overrides. It is disabled by default, and reduces network traffic with single interactive caster.
[ AUDIO ]
– Added optional asynchronous audio mixing which allows for a smoother and lower latency audio experience. This is can be turned on using snd_mix_async 1. If this is turned on, snd_mixahead may also be set to a lower value such as 0.02. We will monitor community feedback on this feature before turning it on by default for all players.
– Made it possible to choose audio device to use in the settings menu.
– Sounds made by physics props and doors will now spatialize correctly when playing with HRTF enabled.
[ MISC ]
– Added client cvar “cl_deathnotices_show_numbers” which allows appending observer numbers to kill feed (0: defaults for no numbers, 1: to use just observer numbers in death notices, 2: append observer numbers in front of names in death notices).
