CS2 adds a Silent Reload toggle and fixes bugs as players spot Big Head mode
Valve updated silent reload controls, fixed an AMD graphics issue and demo-rewind bugs, while clients revealed an unlisted Big Head mode.

The official October 28 patch notes contain four changes, whereas the enlarged-head mode appeared in the game without being mentioned in Valve’s list.
New Silent Reload control
Valve added a choice between Hold and Toggle for Silent Reload Mode. With Toggle enabled, a player can release the reload button once the silent reload has started. Tapping the button again cancels it and returns to a fast reload. The update also fixes cases in which the first reload sound could be heard regardless of whether the user had requested a silent reload.
Graphics, demos and an unlisted mode
The patch fixes a bug that could make liquids render black on AMD graphics cards. It also addresses sound and interface problems when rewinding during demo playback. After installing the update, players observed Big Head in casual matches, with character head sizes changing during play. The mode does not appear in Valve’s official patch notes, so it should be treated separately from the four confirmed entries.
