Restricting FPS in CS:S

[NachT]

the new map is like this

What map is that?

I might have an old CS or somthing, my mate gave me the game so I don't know what version or anything I have

 

[furnace]

Huh..? RaiderX, you've posted a screenshot of a completely different map to the screenshot NachT posted That's cs_office, raider posted something else (de_inferno i think?).

RaiderX, there's something up with your setup if it's not doing AA... If you get some spare evenings, see if you can get it anti-aliasing properly

Is your copy a little, um, less than official?

A few months back valve put an update out over steam changing the way the radar works. You now get a mini-map type thing instead of a radar with blips.

Maybe its to do with the map, I'm not sure how it works with some custom ones..

PK!

As above tearing in css is fixed with about 4xAA. You shouldnt need to limit fps.

aa doesnt fix tearing lol

aa doesnt fix tearing lol

Jack Bauer doesn't need to enable vsync to fix tearing, the frames know better than to get on the wrong side of Jack Bauer.

ahahaha

Thats right

But im serious about the AA fixing it in CSS. For example on cs_office above without AA the tearing is bad on the floor. A little AA and its fine.

 

[james.miller]

i get tearing whatever AA i use. which is the norm, after all aa has nothing to do with the cause of tearing. it's mis-timed syncs.

^ Try the vSync thing, it fixed mine

I think you mean me?

That's with everything on max, including AA and AF... It's only this game tho, wierd stuff.

Anyone have an idea of how to fix it?

just remember v sync causes mouse lag which pretty much ruins te game, keep it off imo.

 

[Squakingcow]

Make sure you don't have the drivers for your card set to override the aa settings to 0x aa.

it does?

what about having v-sync off but fps_max at 75?

 

[Lonz]

Not so much mouse lag, but screen lag. The graphics card waits for everything to render in line before it sends to the monitor basically. Every little detail...

 

[Dreadi]

The whole pink thing is usually caused when you minimize the game, standard bug i think, happens to loads of people

Hi mate,

If I was to turn v sync off, to get rid of screen lag. How would I go about limiting the FPS to 60 without using v sync?

I have been getting a bit of screen lag, but at the min i have to choose between screen lag and tearing

What should I do ?

 

[PoliticallyCorrect]

cl_maxfps 101 is the best option, shouldn't create too much tearing but still gives a more responsive feel than 60hz/60fps vsync

you also need to use cl_updaterate 101 and cl_cmdrate 101

tip: make your xhair smaller too!

cl_crosshairscale 2500

 

[Egosh]

tip: crosshair is a preference thing..

 

[NachT]

Yeah but how would I do it with other games too?

Say on WoW, if I disable v sync to stop screen lag, my FPS is to high and I get tearing

Any ideas?
