New update out for it: http://store.steampowered.com/news/3992/

It sorted out my fps issues!

Now getting rock solid 300fps constantly. Much much better

Still too many bugs and lag spikes occasionally though..

some weapons have been completely ******.

Read: some weapons have seen incredibly minor changes but I will use this as an excuse for any forthcoming bad playing

No honestly, I will give credit where its due and won't moan unnecessarily..

but deagle and shotgun m3 are troublesome now, i've been blasting people in the face and sometimes not much happens

why have they even done this ? do new people even buy CS:S anymore ?

surelys all this has done is peeved off all the players whove been playing for years

Well I'm sure they only recently made it playable for Mac? Suppose it's to coincide with this and inject some fresh blood into the game.

The sound when you jump off someones head and hit ceilings is annoying.

Biohazard · 26 Jun 2010 at 17:41

^ the ping sound from camping or knife fights sounds splodgy?!

Because they've opened it up to macs, thats why.

More $$$

I've noticed that it's easier to be hit around corners/hit people round corners then its ever been. Before you could hit people just as they moved into cover, now I've noticed kills I definately shouldn't of had, and I've been killed when I shouldn't have. I think the latest update has helped a bit, still get the lag spikes on kills though.

its the netcode + 66 tick, its meaning it doesn't register until your out of sight..

everyone is peeved at every update give it a month or two to iorn out and everyone forgets.

This is nothing compared to the row about dynamic pricing before they added the option to disable it.

[jest]But can you disable the newer engine?[/jest]

were do i type the fps command in?

If i press y to type, surely it will just show as chat?

xen_ · 26 Jun 2010 at 18:46

Enable console in options, then the console key is `, then type cl_showfps 1, or net_graph 1. 0 to disable them afterwards.

MiNxYyY · 26 Jun 2010 at 18:52

i see no option for console. looked through all the menu's :/

Yes its crap, but we are just going to have to put up with it in the short term...

why they think this is an improvement god only knows.

doesn't say much for the morrons who beta tested this on teh steam forums

cornyfeet · 26 Jun 2010 at 19:23

they might as well re-implemented dynamic pricing, what a joke of an update.

Bones - the first shot hits exactly where the shotgun is aiming, not where you are viewing, ie to the left. Have they implemented a way of handicapping the sprint and shoot move, ie you need to wait until the shotgun swings back in front of your body?

Memphis said:
What's that then? Completely accurate firing based on the position of the model? Excellent. It'll be even more realistic. Bring it on!

Kenai said:
Just what I was thinking - the gun actually shoots where the gun is pointing, not out the side of the barrel just because the cross-hair is there

It's just bad hit detection, not a feature of TF2. CSS has had bad hit detection for ages though (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMdrsTXwR2I).

Well, dynamic pricing was completely broken, not only were weapon prices completely off but the glock only cost $1 so people could buy hundreds of them and crash servers.
