Frame by Frame changelog

Frame by Frame is the CS2 plugin the highlight recorder loads to record clips one frame at a time. The recorder installs it, so it doesn't need setting up. Newest first. Each entry is the GitHub release for that version. Docs.

v0.1.0

2026-10-23 · Release on GitHub

The first release of Frame by Frame, the CS2 plugin the Auto Tournament highlight recorder loads to record clips one frame at a time.

What it does

• Makes CS2 unhide startmovie, so the game writes every frame of a demo and its own sound, at whatever pace the GPU manages. A clip comes out the same on any GPU.
• Makes one call, CS2's own ICvar::StripDevelopmentFlags(), after checking that the function really is that one. If a CS2 update moves it, the plugin logs it and does nothing.
• No hooks, no Metamod, no CounterStrikeSharp.

The recorder installs it and adds it to gameinfo.gi only while its own CS2 runs.
