Patch Notes
A big pass over the live match simulation, tournaments, the transfer market and the Workshop.
Match Simulation
Post-plant: won rounds stay won. A defence with a man advantage (or with no attacker left alive) now walks back and defuses under ten seconds instead of running for the exit. The defuser is chosen by who can actually reach the bomb in time — bare-handed defuses are allowed when the clock permits, not only kit defuses.
Retakes go to the right site. The team now heads for the site the bomb is really on, instead of continuing towards wherever it was already walking.
Attackers clear the blast. The whole attacking side now leaves the bomb area under ten seconds (staying only to contest a live defuse), wounded players leave earlier, and escape spots are picked by real path time for each player. The round where a full team stands on its own bomb and dies to it is gone.
Saves still work. Outnumbered defenders keep the classic close-kit ninja attempt, and if the defuser dies the job passes to the next player who still makes the timer — or the team leaves.
Helmet no longer repairs your vest. Buying a 350 helmet used to restore body armour to full, which made it the cheapest and best armour purchase in the game.
Buying a vest no longer removes your helmet. The shop kept stripping head protection, so half the squad entered rounds bare-headed and paid to fix it next round.
Smarter armour pricing. A fully armoured player buys nothing, and a worn vest under a helmet costs 650 instead of a full 1000 — on every buy path and on the price list.
Buy type is set before the round starts, so a round no longer opens on the previous round's selection. The forced pistol round of each half syncs too.
Map veto behaves again. A broken condition made the first team ban a random map and threw away the second team's preferred ban. Both teams now ban their preferred map or make a sensible choice, matching how picks already worked.
Tournaments
GSL group matches are now Bo3. Existing careers are migrated automatically.
Prize money and ranking-points distribution now follow the actual playoff format, and the results screen shows the correct 5-8 or 5-6 placements for that format.
The ranking-points fund display on the tournament page was corrected.
The Statistics tab now refreshes once more after a tournament ends, so the final's numbers actually appear.
Academy teams now receive a proper tournament invitation e-mail.
Already played matches remain old format.
Transfers & Contracts
Pre-Major transfer freeze is now visible. Held deals carry their own banner with the Major's date, both in the transfer window and in the mail digest, translated into all 11 languages.
Deals that execute late are dated correctly. The day the player actually arrives is now what contract start, loan return, buy-back bans and transfer history count from.
Loan counter-offers no longer die. If the player's contract shrank during the haggling, the standing loan length could become illegal and the offer impossible to answer at all. The length limit now applies only when the term is first chosen.
Contract tab tells the truth for a new signing: it shows the transfer lock instead of pretending an offer can be made.
Steam Workshop
Publishing always creates a new item. Uploading a second pack from the same folder no longer overwrites the first one under its subscribers. "Update" alone rewrites the item you opened.
A publish interrupted by cancel or by the pending Workshop agreement now resumes its own half-made item on retry, instead of leaving duplicates behind.
The public listing now uses a page bar instead of endless scrolling.
Every listing row shows the last-updated (or publish) date under the author.
New "Open in Steam" button takes you to the game's Workshop hub in the Steam overlay.
Other
The sponsor-task reward line in financial history is now translated in all 11 languages.
Assorted cleanup of leftover files and a logo material fix.
Thanks for the reports — keep them coming in the Discord or discussions.
