CS2 Hud blur drops a ton of frames.

[DeformedSAS]

The hud blur in CS2 drops around 100 to 150 fps when enabled, when disabled i have around 250 fps average on mirage for example but with the blur enabled.. not even 90.

This is a huge competitive disadvantage and there should be an option to disable the hud blur.

all blurred hud elements: CSGOHudHealthAmmoCenter, CSGOHudHintText, CSGOHudRadar, CSGOHudAlerts, CSGOHudProgressbar, CSGOHudDeathNotice and CSGOHudDeathPanel.

Scoreboard is also doing the exact same thing.
Potential fix for this issue is to make the hud use blur mipmapgaussian instead of gaussian, gaussian is known to eat performance unlike fast and mipmap (fastgaussian is only available in csgos panorama ui.)

this affects both linux and windows.

How could I remove this blur? Do you have a shared library to override it? Bytepatching would be fine, too. I'm interested in seeing the performance difference (with -insecure ofc).

[DeformedSAS]

you would need to decompile and export all panorama files, modify the blur css in csgostyles and mainmenu.css, then make a workahop addon to launch the game with, it will auto reconpile all panorama files

We all know FPS drops by pressing TAB and opening scoreboard.
I am talking about the FPS gain you had after changing the blur settings in the game files.

Can you prove that claim? Thanks.

[DeformedSAS]

can't you do that by yourself? jesus some people are lazy

Calling other people lazy when they ask for a claim you made is crazy itself.
Your report is invalid if you cannot prove what you claimed.

From 90 FPS to 250 FPS is what you mentioned in your original report.
If you cannot prove that, there is no need to make a bug report.

here, my claim but proved from csgo as i don't have dota 2 installed nor the modified cs2 panorama ui files, both games run js v8 and are essentially using the exact same browser version 58

Panorama ui Blur Enabled

Panorama ui Blur Disabled
