ANIMGRAPH 2
The CS2 animation system has been updated to Animgraph 2, which reduces CPU and networking costs associated with animation.
All third-person animations have been re-authored, and in several cases adjusted in response to player feedback.
Smoothed in-air crouching transitions in first and third-person.
In support of Animgraph 2, the logic adjusting player height on sloped surfaces has been refactored.
Player height on ramps is now consistent and no longer depends on approach direction.
As a result of this change, grenade lineups on sloped surfaces may have changed.
ENGINE
Updated engine code to the latest version of Source 2.
CS SCRIPT
Added function GetRoundRemainingTime.

New c4 equip sound.
Minor adjustments to ambient sound levels.
Fixed missing ambient sounds on team selection and end of match screens.

The Karambit crouch animation has a strange wrist rotation.
Certain combinations of graphics settings result in many things rendering as solid black.
Some materials are missing their normal tint.
