Connectivity to official and community game servers will be affected, game

Release Notes for 7/23/2014

[UI]
- safezonex's min value can now go as low as 0.28 with triple monitor setups 
and will allow a min value of 0.475 with double monitor setups.
- Added convar sv_server_graphic which allows the server to specify a 360x60 px 
image file (must be 16k or smaller) in /csgo/ that will display in the 
spectator view. Supports PNG transparency.
- when the scoreboard is up, the radar will now switch to the square overview

[MISC]
- Fixed a crash on round end/restart or player spawn if a player was parented 
to another entity that was cleaned up.
- Increased session communication buffer size to allow for up to 64-player

- Added experimental cpu_frequency_monitoring convar to detect thermal 
throttling. If you have CS:GO performance problems on Windows, add

throttling is an issue. If the displayed CPU frequency percentage drops below 
about 80-85% then you may have a problem with your CPU slowing down due to 
overheating. If it drops below 50-55% then you may have a serious problem. CPU 
overheating can be caused by overclocking, insufficient cooling, insufficient 
airflow, failing or dirty fans, or other causes. The CPU frequency results are 
displayed with cl_showfps or net_graph. For more detail see 
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2715-YIPD-6873
