Trusted Mode, which blocks third-party files from interacting with the game, will also be the default launch mode. With this update, there’s a new compatibility launch option allowing third-party software to access the CS:GO game process. 

Decoy grenades also received an update to show the correct amount of damage to teammates if they’re thrown by another teammate who switched teams or disconnected. 

Here are all of the updates in July 23’s patch notes:

Trusted Mode

  • Trusted Mode is now the default launch mode for CS:GO.
  • Previous Trusted Mode launch options have been deprecated.

  • More information on Trusted mode in the Knowledge Base article.

Maps

  • Added Mutiny and Swamp to official matchmaking in Casual, Deathmatch, and Scrimmage game modes.
