Valve released some beta updates to Counter-Strike 1.6 in the past few days in order to fix some bugs and problems existed in the game.

As we all know, Steam released updates to Counter-Strike 1.6 on 20 April, but followed by some infamous bugs and problems. So they released some beta updates which were supposed to make the game more enjoyable.

"Beta update: 05/04/09

- Rate limit fullupdate and some other commands to prevent command spamming
- Fix status icons (buy zone, bomb zone, etc) disappearing when starting a recording, or issuing a fullupdate
- Don't allow aliasing of existing cvar names
- changed the behavior of the silent walk exploit; rapidly crouching/uncrouching(releasing before you’ve actually crouched) 2 times in a row, in a very shorttime will result in a delay before crouching again, but it will not slow you down.
- potential fix for all “flashbugs” plus issues where any grenade dropped into certain locations would either choke the server, or crash it

Beta update: 05/12/09

- Rolled back recent Russian walking exploit fixes as we investigate less impactful ways of preventing the bug
- Fixed bomb bounding box, prevents silent plant exploit

Beta update: 05/13/09
- Slightly bigger c4 bounding box to fix other reported exploits
- Removed some more newly added jump sounds"

In order to access the beta updates, you have to use the settings dialog after quitting Counter-Strike 1.6 first.
