No game is perfect, especially games still in beta—like Counter-Strike 2. The game saw a massive invite wave last week, and some players have been experiencing ragdoll issues that completely destroy their framerates.

In a Sept. 4 Reddit post, a player showed how an enemy’s hilarious ragdoll ruined everyone’s framerates on the server.

The player explained that when someone ragdolled this like, everyone’s FPS would drop to 25 FPS for the remainder of the round. This sounds like a minor issue for a single round, but if it happens for the entirety of the game, it would almost certainly be frustrating.

Despite framerate issues, these kinds of bugs are somewhat expected. Valve invited thousands of new players to the closed beta on Aug. 31, including those with Prime status and an active skill group in CS:GO.

With so many more players enjoying the limited test, it’s all but surprising bugs are cropping up. For impatient players, this could be good news. The more reports Valve receives, the quicker the devs should fix issues ahead of release.

Since the latest invite wave, hopes for CS2 have been higher than ever. Our only worry is whether Valve has too much on its plate or not. Either way, we’re keeping our fingers crossed the devs meet the deadline.
