As i havn't seen a thread about this yet (CSS i'm referring to - i saw the moan about 1.6 adverts/scoreboard), i thought i'd post.

Is nobody else ****** at these changes? The chatbox now seems to be even more in the way than it had been previously (1280*1024 if it matters), and the scoreboard is just plain harder to read.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Also, derailing my own topic slightly, as i didn't want to post twice;

Recently i haven't been able to play 1.6. When i try and connect to a server, it gets 3/4's of the way through connecting/loading, and then i get a sound-loop crash/bug and i have to ctrl+alt+del to exit.

I've tried the 'verify inegrity of local cache' option within steam, which didn't help, so i figured I'd uninstall, but can't seem to be able to - trying to do so through start up, of add/remove lists steam as the only uninstall option, not any individual games - any ideas?

(it was late when i tried this, so i likely missed something extremely obvious (covering my own a** there :p ))
 
I don't like the new chatbox for a few reasons:

1. The text is higher up the screen so can be distracting/get in the way.
2. The filter to turn off server messages didn't actually work on the server I was on
3. There was nothing wrong with the old one! Stop changing things for fun!
 
As for the crashing, maybe the servers you've tried are trying to upload to you crappy custom sounds or something? Try cl_allowdownload 0, i think.
 
They should just get the multi-core patch out. That's what we need, not this now opaque LANGUAGE! coloured crudbox in the middle of our screens.
 
I hate the new GUI. It looks like CSS has now been made all child-friendly. The Font is now all Kiddy-ish, and they are all much larger, so easy for 'ickle kiddies to read. Sure, this'll please all those weird Europeans in their tweens that go "yay, lol, je suis bon!"

Or something like that, anyway.

Click to expand...


do we? everybody with dual cores has already far more horsepower than needed to run the game engine. what i want is an end to the display problems using the 8800's
 
How about the new voice comms codec. Best thing they've done in css. Speech is lovely and clear now.

I agree they shouldn't mess with things like the chatbox when it was fully functional before.
 
omg I just ran cs:s and it updated, messed up my HUD :( but also WTF is going on with that chat system?

Looks very ugly and reminds me of WoW tbh, who needs that crap on their screen :(
 
I quite like the new chat box, but then I'm not a pro player so not as fussed by little changes.

I can see how it can be annoying if you play it seriously though as it's in quite a wierd position
 
on a side note , about CS:S

when a game finnishes, why do people still type ?
the scoreboard is in the way! or can u make the txt come to the front somehow?
 
It was a waste of time whomever implemented this 'update'. Changing things for the hell of it, and making a bodge of it too.
 
while we are talkign about css....


can you still install custom skins and stuff ? and how ? or would vac shaft you for it



ps i love the new mic sound , crystal clear
