CSS - Increasing performance?

waso_dude · 28 Mar 2008 at 14:17

its a mental thing i find.

It will prob just come back you concentrating on someone that isn't there really.

I find keeping a backup of your cfg the best bet. I've got a 32mb memory stick with my 1.6 and CSS ones so i can easy go to other comps/lans and reformatt and not worry.

Yeah I might do that for the future.

You might be right about the mental thing. I get rusty if I dont play for a few days. But if i am playing every day I can get some good runs together.

I have never played 1.6, whats it like?

He's not the only one amused....

Seriously, you're wasting your time. Only thing that'll benefit is perhaps changing your settings to something with higher contrast - make it so that player models stand out against the terrain as much possible.

My shooting seems a little out at the moment though, where as before I was hitting where i was aiming.

weapons dont magically not shoot where you aim,

if you aim and shoot, it hits. If not, your not aiming.

play on better tick/fps servers, lower pings, etc.

Well if you want to pick on words then I would be aiming, i just wouldnt be pressing the fire button at the correct time.

What on earth do you consider to be a 'good speed'?..

I have mine maxxed out, 6xAA, 16AF @1680, and get ~140 fps on a X1950pro..

You're struggling to get 'good speed' with an 8800?

Out of interest, what is your CPU's speed?

I just meant if you aim and shoot it usually goes where you aim

How the hell does it run so fast on your computers :O

Ive got an E2180 @ 3Ghz, 8800gt, 2Gb Ram and i struggle to run it at 70 constant.

All maxed

E2180 @3.2

Hmmm bit more than mine, getting very average FPS in TF2 atm, even with multi-threading tweaks. Mine goes as much as 100fps lower in heavy firefights

No idea if Vista is still an issue with Source either.

Something seriously wrong there. Like someone said above this game is mostly cpu based. So if you are running at 3ghz then you should be getting way over 100 fps

Rackerz · 29 Mar 2008 at 12:23

Indeed, something is straining your computer and causing that. I might understand if your E2180 was running stock but it isn't.

Hit box lag and dodgy rates (theirs and yours if you haven't changed the default ones) tbh.

What should the rates be on? mine are on 25000. I cant say what the rates are of the others, is there a command to check?

Have you installed the VISTA drivers for your card? If so I would reinstall it all
