Dont do buffering or v sync. aim for over 100 fps, net_GRaph 1 in console
Arms race is very quick practise and maybe shows which gun you should use or avoid. I take forever to get glock kill, now I think burst hs is best use
Negev full spray hits just above my crosshair I realised, maybe good or comfortable crosshair is a good tip for new player:

Get 144 or 120hz. It'll shave some time off your reactions only like 10ms I think so maybe not that important till higher ranks. Im on 60 too

So on 'wait for vertical sync' just leave it on disabled?

No,
Same deal will need to relearn spray patterns, relearn the tweaks to the base maps. Thats about it most of the gameplay mechanics are the same/similar.

cool! ... really looking forward to starting this game!!

I played a hell of a lot of source and I found it quite challenging adjusting to GO. All gun dynamics are completely different and due to boxes and obstacles being strange heights and more complex all my pre aim reference points went out of the window and I had to relearn. At first I hated GO, now I like it a lot.

Yeah, I must admit when I so this launch I was not very interested in it!! ... the more I read now... the more I want to play!!

Quick question how does the drop system actually work??

yes correct. Just keep video all basic is apparently the best. So long as you can still see peoples shadows

-processheap -novid -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel +mat_queue_mode 2 +mat_vignette_enable 0 -high -threads 8 +fps_max 0 +exec autoexec.cfg

thats from in my steam launch options

If you go on twitch and view csgo streams, very often they will list all these options to set at the page bottom. See what fits you best, it may help.

If you use bandicam, you can film yourself and also upload to youtube directly if need be. It might show where your aim is or whatever is holding you back [this does restrict fps though for me at least, just saying it may help your analysis or self improvement. Or film others and slow it down in playback]

So play on low video settings? I have everything up.

JGStonedRaider · 16 Oct 2014 at 16:55

Don't use processheap it makes your game slower. It was useful at some point early in the game's life but that was fixed about a year ago.

Also you don't need mat_queue mode, high, threads, or fps max. Fps max means your gpu is also maxed out in the menu....why just why. If you really want extra fps put it too something like 500 but who needs 1000 fps

I got disconnected with this message 'An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers.' and now I can't play again.

Any one know why?

NirK · 16 Oct 2014 at 22:33

Maybe it is firewall or antivirus, I don't know that is a guess.

Same as me I keep getting stuck with silver 1's in MM and end up getting frustrated with the rush mentality game play

Don't worry joel, when i started CS:GO i was in silver 4 for what seemed like forever, just keep at it, don't get yourself down if you win and don't get promoted, the systems is insanely weird, i was at MG1 for a while, won 5 games in a row, then tied 3(still no promotion), lost 1 and got demoted, then i lost a few more and ended up at GN3 i then won a couple and made it up to MG2, just keep at it mate you'll get there!

So guys, i've done my time in the OCuK jail, it wasn't pretty, I'm gonna write my wrongs and upload a family friendly version of the video i uploaded before!

100 hours in, I still had no ranks (was still in BETA/early days).

Who remembered the first ELO system? The ranks looked so ugly.

I'll hop in your games on my smurf. Surely we can get a few more (will probably be on late-ish though, unless I go out

)

I'll join you too whenever I'm on. At the silver 5 wall. Currently on holiday (sat on a canel boat near Birmingham this week haha). Will be back in action from Sunday!

30 hours in I was DMG.... All downhill from there, solo queuing and long breaks from the game

flighty · 17 Oct 2014 at 13:26

After my 10 placement games i was global elite, then soundwave invited me to a lobby and it all went downhill

It takes a lot to be good at this game it seems. I just don't understand how people shoot me right away, they must have really quick reactions and fantastic aim.
