Features
Added
- Faster and smoother[Clarify] downloads
- Faster game boot times and map load times
- HTTP Caching
- FBO renderer - A new method of rendering the game, which allows MSAA to work with GoldSrc engine. This also allows the game to run on fullscreen in a borderless window, and aspect ratio that are different from your monitors, for example, 4:3 on 16:9, will not be stretched to fill the black bars.
- MSAA anti-aliasing - GoldSrc now natively supports anti-aliasing, specifically, MSAA 4X, which is enabled by default on most modern hardware, reducing the number of jagged edges/staircases effect on the geometry.
macOS support
Linux support
Removed
- EAX and A3D surround sound audio
- This also removes support for surround sound (4, 5.1, 7.1, etc...) in general, leaving the game only outputs in Stereo.
- Direct3D 7 support
