Although Counter-Strike 2 was officially launched on September 27, players encountered various issues, glitches, and general problems that prompted some pro players to advise against playing the game at this time. However, Valve has been diligently addressing these issues.

The October 9 update aims to resolve a range of concerns, notably the significant hitbox misalignment problem that raised doubts about the game's readiness for IEM Sydney on October 20.

This patch also tackles graphical glitches, such as the unusual appearance of feet when viewed through a scope, and animation inconsistencies that impact the game's realism and flow. Furthermore, minor fixes and adjustments have been made to the maps Mirage, Vertigo, and Nuke. Additionally, an official matchmaking datacenter has been introduced in Chengdu, China, promising smoother gameplay for players in that region.
