Counter-Strike: Source New Update Released

[xen_]

Just been playing on de_nuke and it seems HDR is broken, it just flashes from light to dark, light to dark, about once per second, same interval and everything each time, like it's just constantly pulsating.

I am finding CS source update very confusing. I went to the servers/maps list window and it displays all the maps but they all seem to be refreshing. Then they disappear. If I manage to click on one of them, it says full. I mean what happened to the old servers list in which you could choose any server at your leisure?. How I am supposed to play now?

I'm running 4770 - 512mb at max OC via ati tools, Phenom BE unlocked to 3 cores, 4 GB ram @ 1680x1050 resolution (native) and have no issues with fps, lag or jerkiness , I run the game max just with HDR and Bloom off cause it makes games look fugly, so no idea why its affecting random people, might be intel processors unless someone on AMD has issues?

by checking that little tick box that says show map list, maybe?

..and you lot do realise you can turn the 'kill cam' off, right?

Haha this is great timing for me i just found CSS on my steam account after re activating it after ages of no activity. They are having huge sales right now btw...

They know that many CSS fans will be quitting now, so they're giving us lots of other choices.

I'm on an Intel CPU. I'm fine.

Nice thinking though....

Why will they all be quitting i dont understand?!?! What have they done that is soooo bad in the update! Why do people hate change so much!

 

[james.miller]

because it means they cant script and bhop their way to victory quite so easily, i guess

For me its like a slide show.

Yeah, thats pretty much it.

I'm going to try on another machine tomorrow mind you.

A few of my friends are having the same problems, I really hope this gets sorted.

Does anyone else alt-tabbing out cause it to just spaz out graphically or crash?

Don't worry about that.

It's very common for people to suddenly scream WTF IS THIS JESUS CHRIST WHY GOD WHYYYYYYY at random.

Not as if something happened to affect gameplay on a highly played skill based game.

LOL

Perhaps you've played too much, you notice things lesser mortals like me don't notice

I still get the old pink textures problem if that's what you mean by "spaz out"?

 

[Biohazard]

Yeah, but it used to only populate windows and smaller objects with me before... noticable but you could ignore it..

..now every single texture on every box and wall is bright pink/purple!

 

[d_brennen]

I've checked and I'm getting <60FPS (regardless of vsync) and often ~18-25. My CSS brain cannot play at that kind of fps, no way. WTF is going on? I even uninstalled it and redownloaded the game

 

[Biohazard]

here you go, hmmmmmmmmm:

This doesn't effect gameplay at all does it?

I'm getting anywhere between 260~55fps @ 1680x1050. Up and down with an average of maybe 70 now? With an av of about 150 before update.. BUT its worse than that it is so erratic!!!! All the new 'graphic' text boxes seem to cause stuttering too, as does jumping out and sprites appearing on screen.

Its pretty utterly crap in all honesty.

This is on a very limited texture map as well.

I'm also getting fed up of the revenge nonesense

I swear hitboxes are bigger, lag occurs when people fire and there's just generally jerkiness in play.

The first two might be entirely true and intentional, helping players get kills :/

There's an awpfest in so many servers right now. It's easier to hit players and since you only need to shoot someone in the foot to instakill them with an awp... bring out the noobcannons!

The hitboxes are a bit bigger yeah, makes ak/m4 even more lethal.

i swear some people are pulling off some very dodgy shots now!

i'm having real problems with m3 shotgun and straffing though.

 

[Alex74]

not found it too bad tbh..strip away the killlcam, nemesis, stats and revenge nonsense and it feels like the same game imo

 

[AdamEW]

I just had a go on this, i very rarely play css nower days but something certainly felt wrong, kinda awkward and inaccurate.

 

[MeddlE]

Yay, GEClan.net servers are back up, including the Zombie Panic server!

 

[Biohazard]

yeah a couple of gg's are back up too but just a fraction so far though

 

[cplhardnut]

I cba with the bugs now. Ill just play other games while they fix bugs.
