Valve updated Ancient

The CS: GO developers listened to the shooter users and made the game on Ancient a little more comfortable. For example, if players throw a weapon into the water near the point of appearance of the attacking side, then it will not fall into the texture due to the invisible pixels that appear there.

Valve also reported that the card has been better optimized and computers will be able to deliver more FPS while avoiding the significant drawdowns it used to be.
