Cache Map Polishing + Spectator HUD Overhaul

Map Maintenance & HUD Upgrades

Valve is cleaning up Cache while giving custom HUD creators a massive set of new tools to play with. Spectating is about to feel way more intuitive with new script-driven visibility states.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

  • Cache Cleanup: Devs patched annoying geometry gaps and a broken wallbang spot on B site.
  • Spawn Logic: Both sides get updated spawn points to ensure fairer competitive positioning.
  • Camera Control: The new CustomPlayerCamera API offers developers way more control over spectator views.
  • HUD Visibility: Custom layouts now correctly layer over the base UI with new visibility triggers.
  • Demo Privacy: Team chat is now properly hidden in demos to mirror CS:GO security standards.

Several miscellaneous bug fixes and minor internal scripting refactors were also included. A solid maintenance update that sets the stage for better custom content.
