This repository's README presents a Windows tool called CS2 Transparent Smoke Utility. The claim is simple: when you play Counter-Strike 2 and someone throws a smoke grenade, the thick grey cloud that normally blocks your view becomes almost invisible, so you can see enemies, objects, and terrain through it as if the smoke were not there. The sound of the grenade is left intact, only the visual is changed. The page says the tool also affects the smoke left over from molotov fires and any other smoke-like particles in the game. There is a system-tray menu that lets you toggle the effect on and off without restarting CS2. The README states that the tool runs in RAM only and does not modify any game files, that it works on any region of Steam CS2, and that you can switch back to normal smoke at any time by right-clicking the tray icon. Installation is described in four short steps. You run setup.exe, install the program, launch loader.exe (which starts minimized), then launch Counter-Strike 2. System requirements are Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), CS2 installed, and 50 MB of free space. Beyond those claims, the README contains almost nothing else. There is no source code listing, no language tag, no license text, and no link to anything inside the repository itself. The download button points to an external redirect on a third-party domain rather than a GitHub release, and the banner image is pulled from Steam's content server. The repository has 14 stars and no listed language. The behaviour described, making smoke clouds in a multiplayer game see-through for one player, is what Counter-Strike 2 and Valve's anti-cheat treat as cheating, so anyone running this would be at risk of a Valve Anti-Cheat ban on their Steam account. The README does not warn about that.
