CS:GO February 24 patch targets AWP movement and customization

A new patch has gone live on February 24, 2020, for CS:GO. The patch adds some new customization options for Operators and crosshairs that we cover more in-depth here. It also offers fixes to maps and certain gameplay glitches. 

The crouching acceleration after taking a shot with the AWP has been patched with this update. This is a huge change for main AWPers in their movement and tendencies to play around the speed glitch. This will force AWPers to be a bit more cautious when taking quick shots and trying to get behind cover before getting one-tapped. The patch also increases the FPS limit to 400 in an attempt to offer more support to higher refresh rate monitors.

Breach and Studio aren't maps in the competitive pool, but nevertheless do see play in casual game modes. There is a number of fixes deployed in this patch that help improve the playability of the maps for everyone involved.
