Counter-Strike: Source New Update Released

linktoinsanity · 23 Jun 2010 at 20:40

Hi guys,

The new big update has just been released for CSS. See http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=240 for more information.

Am currently working on getting the OcUK server updated and set up properly. Will be 24 slot still. Now the game is locked at 66 tickrate btw, so that's what the server will be.

Server IP: 94.23.222.136:27047

Currently downloading the update from Hong Kong...

I changed mine to Hong Kong. Worked pretty well.

BTW, when I get my server running I'll arrange an ocuk css game night. Probably for Friday, if not, Sunday evening as usual.

My client is now updated, gonna have to leave the server updating overnight though, tis still retrying.

Still, OcUK CSS night on friday anyone?

linktoinsanity · 24 Jun 2010 at 08:43

OcUK server is running. Just standard game with basic map rotation atm, will update sourcemod and the map cycle/plugins etc this evening. In the mean time feel free to use it. The IP is in the First post of this thread and on the ocuk steam group.

I think you've made your point BioHazard. Can you stop repeating yourself now? I'm sure most people get the point that you don't like the update. As for Tombo I agree, but stop baiting him...

I have played CSS for years and although I would have preferred a new version and them leaving the old one alone I actually do like that they have finally updated it with support for multicore and the new engine, which people have been moaning that they haven't for ages. Some people are never happy.

get back on your horse.

I wouldn't keep going on had he not repeatedly pulled me up trying to say its the communities fault for not being officially apart of valve or what have you.

bloody ridiculous point of view to take, given how much the community variety makes the game. not valve.

Grow up and go back to 1.6 :rolleyes:

its your thread, so i'll leave it at that.

Good. We'll agree to disagree there then.

Biohazard said:
but seriously, some people need to step away from the valve can do no wrong mentallity. it makes you look like sycophants.

Just for the record, Valve can do plenty wrong, look at their lack of support for L4D and fixing various vpak problems for the custom community in L4D2. In my opinion though, updating CSS is not one of their flaws.

Game on OcUK server now if anyone is interested? 94.23.222.136:27047

linktoinsanity · 24 Jun 2010 at 22:49

For those that missed tonight's CSS game on the OcUK server, there is another one scheduled for tomorrow night at half 8 should you be interested.

See you then.

Hitreg seems to have improved on my server for me personally since the update. And I haven't noticed any lag at all? Do all these "laggers" have ATI cards? (Driver issue maybe?) or do some have Nvidia, in which case the line of thinking is mute.

Gameplay wise, apart from it breaking the odd plugin and me having to redo sourcemod, I haven't noticed much difference in the way the game actually plays (except now I get achievements).

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?

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

Nice thinking though....

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

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

Good game on the OcUK CSS server tonight guys, at one point it got pretty busy for 3 or 4 maps. I'm honestly not noticing any lag on the game. Hitboxes appear bigger as I can actually hit targets with the awp now.

Anyway will work on limiting the awps and disabling autosnipers on my server, apart from that it seems to run pretty well.

And LOL Yatezy

The OcUK server has now been updated by the way. Will schedule another game on Monday evening. In the meantime I'm gonna try sorting out the weapon restriction plugin.

I also cant stand the new scoreboard so Im using this one now, which works on sv_pure servers as well as it uses no image files:

But, isn't that just the new scoreboard? What's different between the one you show there and the default one? :confused:
