To access the beta please follow the steamcmd instructions on our developer wiki, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, Counter-Strike 1.6 dedicated server is currently available as appid 90 (and will continue to use this appid after full release).

The changes in this version are numerous (and some fixes are still in progress, I am looking at you redirect servers....). Under Linux we have moved forward to GCC 4.6 (from 2.95, heh) and are using a newer OS toolchain, so please do test these binaries on your machine.

- Fixed fans not rotating after being in a level for more than a few minutes
- Added "-nofbo" command line option to let you disable using the new method for rendering

- Fixed drowning damage being applied after respawn in some cases
- Fixed malicious clients being able to upload certain new files to servers
- Fixed some scripts sounds not playing
----
Update 1/31/2013

Quote:

- Made save games cross platform
- Fixed crash when changing video modes under windows

- Fixed mp_fadetoblack not applying after a flashbang is thrown (Counter-Strike)
- Fixed fullscreen software mode rendering incorrectly
- Added cl_min_t and cl_min_ct convar to let you control the model used when cl_minmodels is set, the value of the cvar is the model index to use (Counter-Strike)
----

We have released an update to the beta for both games, fixes include:

- Fixed alt-tab not working correctly, the game window is no longer forced on top
- Added "cl_mousegrab" cvar, if set to 0 then the game will not grab the mouse. This may be needed to enable alt-tab with some Linux window managers. You can also add "-nomousegrab" to your command line to disable mouse grabbing.
- Fixed error on launch loading mss32.dll under Windows
- Fixed hang on startup causing a black screen to display on OS X and Linux
- Update Server Browser display to match behavior of Source engine products
----
Update 2/6/2013

Quote:
We have released an update to the beta for both games, fixes include:

- Fixed crash when spectating players
- Fixed config files being written to the wrong folder, they are now always saved to the directory of the mod you are running. For Half-Life 1 this is "valve" and for Counter-Strike 1.6 this is "cstrike". You may lose some settings from this transition if you changed your configuration in the last couple of days
- Don't unpause the game when dismissing the Steam overlay if the game was already paused
- Allow mouse sensitivity to go down to 0.2 (from the previous floor of 1.0)
- Fix say and say_team commands using wrong characters on non-US keyboard layouts
----

Quote:
I figured if one update in a day is good, 2 are better! I've updated CS 1.6 again, this update fixes several server crashes due to bogus player pointers around connect/disconnect.

Quote:
The current Counter-Strike 1.6 beta will become the public version early next week and the update will be required. This update will need you to change to using steamcmd for updates (see https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, CS 1.6 is appid 90 ). You can prepare for this update for joining the beta, the download delta from the beta to the final release will be minimal.

----
Update 2/11/2013

Quote:
We have released an update to the beta for both games, fixes include:

- Added ability to override default content. Enable the "Allow custom addon content" option in the Video options dialog and then place that content in valve_addon (or cstrike_addon for CS 1.6 ). This overridden data has all the normal VAC and pure server rules as default content
- Content downloaded from servers now goes into a separate valve_downloads (or cstrike_downloads ) folder, so you can easily clean up unwanted files
- Updated Video options tab to better expose new configuration settings and remove unused ones
- Increased maximum allowed rate setting to 100,000
- Fixed in game chat not using correct characters when using non-US layout keyboards
- Fixed bot column in server browser to show the number of bot players (and not a random image)
- Fixed player column sorted in server browser
- Don't lock the game to the first CPU on your machine under Windows
- Fixed loading config.cfg from the wrong path
- Fixed crash on joining server
- Fixed chat text showing previous line of text sometime in Counter-Strike 1.6
- Fixed fps_max to actually run at that framerate, not 1 less
- Fixed timing function used on Linux to better match system time, reducing frame time variability
- Fixed duck key not dismissing spectator UI in Counter-Strike 1.6
Quote:
We have another update, changes are:

- fixed hltv demos being corrupted
- fixed downloading of custom sprays from users
- increased max rate to 100k (sv_min/maxrate still apply and defaults for them are unchanged)
- changed timing function to call clock_gettime(), this should cause more stable frame rates
As a reminder the plan is to make this the public release later this week, and that update will be required.

----

Update 2/15/2013

Quote:
We have released a Beta update for Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.6. You can access the beta by right clicking the game in your Library list, choosing "Properties" and going to the beta tab. Linux and OS X users will need to opt into this update also. Once you opt into the beta you will automatically receive future beta updates.

Changes in this update are:

- Re-enabled a fps cap of 100. You can override this behavior if you want to run faster by setting fps_override to "1" but some mods may not behave properly
- Fixed movement when running at more than 100fps
- Added "speak_enabled" cvar, if set to 0 then the "spk" and "speak" commands are disabled
- Added "edicts" option to liblist.gam file, for use in mods that want more than 900 entities in their maps
- Increased supported entity count in Counter-Strike 1.6 to 1800
----
Update 2/16/2013

Quote:
Changes in this update are:

- Returned mouse input to using windows messages rather than raw input, this should correct the sensitivity change people have seen
- Added m_rawinput cvar, if set to 1 this enables using the raw input API's on your OS to get mouse input, usually with lower latency but missing the post processing from your OS
- Fixed corrupt HTTP downloads if the url sent by the game server resulted in a 404 error
- Fixed corruption of text input when hitting backspace while composing a message
- Renamed gl_ztrick cvar to gl_ztrick_old, usage of this cvar is deprecated and caused rendering issues
- Fixed mouse clicks sometimes being lost

Features in this update include:

- Returned mouse input to using windows messages rather than raw input, this should correct the sensitivity change people have seen
- Added a "Raw Input" checkbox in the Mouse tab of the Options dialog. This button toggles the "m_rawinput" cvar. If selected raw input API's will be used to get mouse input, usually with lower latency but missing the post processing from your OS's Window manager
- Added a "Low video quality" option in the Video tab of the Options dialog. Use this check box if you have an older GPU and want to trade off visual quality for FPS
- Re-enabled a fps cap of 100. You can override this behavior if you want to run faster by setting fps_override to "1" but some mods may not behave properly
- Added support for binding the multiply key on the numeric keypad, the engine bind name for this new key is "kp_mul"
- Added support for binding Windows key, key name "win". Be careful binding this key, your OS may also act on presses from it
- Made keypad enter key activate an item when pressed in the server browser
- Made the "timerefresh" command require sv_cheats be set for its use. This command is for developer profiling and shouldn't be generally used
- Added listing of games from the valve_downloads folder in the New Game dialog
- Added "speak_enabled" cvar, if set to 0 then the "spk" and "speak" commands are disabled
- Added "edicts" option to liblist.gam file, for use in mods that want more than 900 entities in their maps
- Improved HTTP download performance
- Improved movement when running at more than 100fps
- Removed now unused sv_voicecodec and sv_voicequality cvars
- Renamed gl_ztrick cvar to gl_ztrick_old, usage of this cvar is deprecated and caused rendering issues

- Fixed load dialog in viewdemo command not actually loading the demo
- Fixed Player List dialog not allowing you to mute a player
- Fixed crash on restart if you had the serverbrowser active
- Fixed double entries in the sprays list pulldown under options

We have released a Beta update for Counter-Strike 1.6.
Changes in this update are:

- Added new "-mousethread" command line option, if set we poll the mouse position in another thread running at 100hz by default, to get better movement accuracy. Set the "m_mousethread_sleep" cvar to the number of seconds to sleep between mouse polls to change this rate
- Added "cl_filterstuffcmd" cvar, when set to 1 this enables stricter checking of commands the game server can execute on your client
- When m_customaccel is set scale mouse sensitivity when zoomed in, this now matches the path when not using custom accel
- Make the spray list alphabetical order and enforce unique entries
- Set the update rate to 102 if we are clamping to its max value
- Fixed MOTD context menu to have localization strings for available options and for make back/forward work

Sooo, who will recompile metamod for new binaries? Because now it outputs:
Quote:
Game DLL version mismatch
DLL version is 140, engine version is 140
The game DLL for cstrike appears to be outdated, check for updates

They're going to require it for all games in not too much longer. It's part of their new distribution system.

Plugins using orpheu/rage are affected, because signatures changed. Other than that, it seems to work pretty well for me.
