uncoolerenglisch/cs2-smoke-remover-see-through-smoke-clouds-instantly

This repository hosts only an HTML styled README page advertising a Windows utility for the video game Counter Strike 2, often shortened to CS2. The page is themed with a dark background and centers on a big blue download button that points to an external website, not to a file inside the repo. No source language is detected and the project has 14 stars. The pitch is that the tool removes the gray cloud effect that smoke grenades produce in CS2. The README claims that the moment a smoke grenade lands, the cloud disappears for the user, so they can see enemies, the bomb, and teammates that would otherwise be hidden. It also claims a frame rate boost on low end machines because the smoke particle effect is no longer drawn, and it tells the reader they no longer need older console workarounds like r_cleardecals. The usage section is short: download a setup.exe, run loader.exe as administrator, start CS2 through Steam, then throw a smoke in game to confirm the cloud is gone. The notes say it is Windows 10 and 11 only, works in competitive, casual, and deathmatch modes, and asks the user to add the install folder to antivirus exclusions because some antivirus engines flag this kind of tool. The README also claims the effect is purely client side and undetectable in replays, since demo recordings on the server would still show normal smoke. There is no source code or build instructions in the README, and no license is mentioned. A reader should treat this README with caution. Tools that hide smoke grenades give the user an unfair view of opponents and are commonly classified as cheats by the game's anti cheat system, which can lead to a Valve Anti Cheat ban. The download link also points outside GitHub to an unrelated domain, and the README itself asks the user to disable parts of their antivirus, which adds further risk.
