Patch2020-07-08
Quick Take2 changes

The 2020-07-08 update implements Trusted Mode for CS:GO and addresses a streaming regression.

  • New: Trusted Mode is now enabled by default, blocking third party software from interacting with CS:GO. Players can use -untrusted to allow software, but Trust score may be affected.
  • Fixed: A regression that prevented twitch.tv streams from displaying in the Watch tab has been resolved.

[Trusted Mode]

– Players now launch CS:GO in Trusted mode by default
, While in Trusted mode, third party software will be blocked from interacting with CS:GO
, To allow third party software to interact with CS:GO, you can start the game with the -untrusted launch option. Note that in this case your Trust score may be negatively affected.
, A backwards compatibility label “1.37.5.9” is temporarily available for players experiencing difficulty launching the latest version of the game.
– If you are a third party developer, all of your DLLs that interact with CS:GO must be digitally signed.
, If your customers would like to use third party software that is not digitally signed, they can start the game with the -insecure launch option. Note that they will not be able to join VAC servers with this option.

[MISC]

– Fixed a regression to reenable twitch.tv streams in the “Watch tab”
