Fixes

Some game fixes.

What this plugin does

CS2 carries a number of long-standing bugs, leftover restrictions and exploits that mostly hurt community servers. This plugin collects the common workarounds into one place, each one individually switchable.

What each fix does

Game bans spreading to others

When a banned player connects, CS2 can leak their record onto everybody else — innocent players then get kicked as they join, for a ban that was never theirs. This fix clears the leftover record so the ban stops with the account it belongs to. The banned player is still kicked as normal.

Competitive cooldown kicks

Players serving a temporary competitive cooldown get kicked on connect, even though a community server has no reason to care about a matchmaking timeout. This fix lets them play. Game bans and untrusted accounts are untouched and still get kicked.

Off by default — turn it on if you are happy to host someone who picked up a cooldown in official matchmaking.

Map entity crash

Some maps contain a broken trigger that can take the whole server down mid-round. This fix catches it and keeps the server running. Linux only.

Team size limit

CS2 caps how many players fit on each team based on the spawn points the map author placed. On a busy server that shows up as players being refused a team or moved to the side they did not pick. This fix removes the cap.

Turn it off if your game mode relies on the map's own team sizes.

Blank map

If a match ends with no next map set, the server can drop into an empty, unplayable state that needs a manual restart. This fix restarts the current map instead.

Noclip after cheats are disabled

Anyone who switched into noclip while cheats were on keeps flying through walls after cheats are turned back off. This fix puts them back on their feet.

Voice chat

Some players cannot be heard at all, usually those with a Steam communication restriction or anyone the listener once blocked on Steam. The game filters them out before the server gets a say. This fix makes voice work the same for everyone connected. In-game mutes still work as normal.

Fake player chat spam

Advertising bots connect just long enough to post a message, without ever joining the game or showing on the scoreboard. This fix only lets chat through from players who actually joined.

Jump macro abuse

A keybind trick lets some players register several jumps in a single instant, giving them speed nobody playing normally can match. This fix limits everyone to one jump at a time.

Turn it off on servers where that movement is the point, such as bhop servers.

Ramp bug

The classic Source movement bug: running onto or landing on a slope stops you dead or throws you sideways instead of letting you slide. Most noticeable on surf, bhop and KZ maps. This fix makes ramps behave predictably.

Off by default because it changes how movement feels for everyone.

Ghost players

A player can end up listed as a spectator while their body stays alive on the map, letting them walk around and kill people who have no way to fight back. This fix clears the leftover body at the start of each round, putting the player properly into spectate.

Configuration

Settings live in the plugin's config.jsonc:

{
  "Main": {
    "EnableSteamBanFix": true,
    "EnableCompetitiveCooldownFix": false,
    "EnableInputActivatorCrashFix": true,
    "EnableTeamLimitFix": true,
    "EnableBlankMapFix": true,
    "EnableSvCheatsFix": true,
    "EnableVoiceFix": true,
    "EnableFakeMessagesFix": true,
    "EnableJumpSpamFix": true,
    "EnableRampFix": false,
    "EnablePlayerGhostFix": true
  }
}

Changes apply as soon as you save the file — no map change or restart needed.
