Hi,
ive just updataed HL and CS and had a half hour game and the new patch has completly fucked things up. here are my problems:

1. My sound has become unbelievably choppy, so much that i played with no sound.

2. On 1.3 i was quite happily playing in 1024x768 @ 30ish fps and now i start up 1.4 and im getting about 5fps at that resolution so i switched to 800x600 and it didnt change.

3. My ping has gone up, on my 56k i averaged out about 150-180 on a busy server in the evening but now and 9am and with 2 people on the server i was pinging between 210-250.

4. I cannot quit a game without CS crashing.

Overall 1.4 for me is a complete fuck up. Any ideas on the above problems? Thanks
:(

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it now, TFC 0wnz :D

If its camping and sniping your after then CS is with out a doubt now is your game .

If its team play and ctf with a bit of dm then TFC is it :D

Uninstall CS. Reinstall it then reinstall the FULL upgrade.

THe ping issue may be the servers or the fact that a new upgrade always changes your config. If you had any changes in your conifg you will have to put them back.

  1. Tried changing soundcard drivers?
  2. Turn down your res, 30fps is grim enough, every upgrade raises the required spec for the game.
  3. Same problem as 2.
  4. Type quit in console, or bind a key to quit

Always wailing when theres something new ;)
You sure its not running in d3d now by some chance ? Just a thought. I very much doubt whether the ping is anything to do with 1.4 either.
Ther was a bloke on this morning wialing he cant hit anything with 1.4, yet when I followed him with the (excellent) fisrt person veiw thing, it was obvious he was just firing flat out with no bursts, and also he had modem ping. The point is he'll be very lucky to hit anything like that , be it 1.4, 1.3 or beta -2.7 or whatever :)

i got no problems with it, had a decent ping and 100fps, altho when your watchin someone else in first person view, i do seem to notice it start to slow down a little (Still says 100fps but "feels" like 20fps)

right,
after a reboot and a swift kick things seem to have magically fallen into place. Another couple of questions.

1. Someone tell me the best modem config commands in CS for a supra 56k and bt anytime. (i had them written down but theyve dissappeared.)

2. n00b question, all my binds have been lost. Can smeone tell me the command to bind the quit command. /bind...

Thanks

Dunno about number one. Number two, bind "x" "quit" will do it, though that is one of the commands which can be done in the keys menu.

There is no "best" setting - you need to adjust to suit your machine and server you are playing on.

For 1.3 here are some hints

cl_updaterate : 30
cl_cmdrate : 15
rate : 4000


These must be set ingame EVERY game
cl_rate : 3800
cl_latency -120

True.


My only disapointment last night was joining a server to see every lamer on there hopping around like they had rockets up there arse.


Lets just say it's teamplay, but ignore the fact that the so called team players would moan like fuck if you took away there laggy crap jumping ability, thus forcing them to 'actually' team play for a change:p

Crapini the jumping thing in cs is perfect, its not laggy at all, its lovely and smooth...

The DoD restrictive jumping thing is laggier.

Skyler, the new jump thing mebe perfect for your "style" of CS, however it is so far removed from perfect from my p.o.v. that I haven't played it at all today :(
Instead I have been examining first TFC then FLF, TFC I found not to be to my taste atall and FLF which was closer to what I was looking for seemed to be a bit of a hybrid of TFC and CS but IMO isn't a patch on the playability or lasting interest that CS 1-1.3 had for me.

The jumping twats in CS were ruining it, go play q3 or something.

Awp camping twats always spoiled CS for me, aside from your tkers and cheats.

Oh yes while I'm here FLF has a much more sensible jumping stamina system IMO. If you haven't tried the FLF jumping Skyler I recomend you try it and see if you think its superior.

I dont mind the jump thing but what it seems to have done is spoil some of the maps for me. Italy as CT, you go from spawn to the right up the boxes and into the window to make the first room just before the Ts. They seem to get there just before you now :( (maybe slower cos im not used to it). The choke point now seems to be the window. I know it is no good going on about it and we will be used to it in a couple of days but I think it would have been better (if possible) to have left the jump the same as 1.3 if you had a knife out (to enable you to jump up boxes quick) but the sec you pulled a gun then the slower jump kicked in.

shit look at the time lol :eek:

I havnt actually tried it yet so I cant really comment, but I'm just thinking of all those small walls you get in maps like dust etc, especially at the spawn, now instead of hoping over them and racing to a choke point we'l have to run all the way around just to avoid getting exhausted ?

Maybe if they replaced the boxes with a ladder or a ramp.

You can get up the boxes quite fine as it is.

As for those walls on dust 1moon talked about, youd slow down a bit jumping of course, but it doesnt knacker you. You'd be even with the people that run round I guess, depending on where they run around from etc. :p

FLF is crap, tries to be CS and fails, as so many games do ;)
