Fixed a case where players could refund a grenade for a brief period after it was thrown.”

The Counter-Strike 2 bug would allow players to deploy grenades and refund within a short period. It is unclear whether the grenade could be refunded after it exploded. But even throwing and immediately refunding it is enough of an exploitative move to create a major diversion in the match. However, that is all in the update; it only consisted of a single line but dealt with a potentially significant bug.
