Logged into CS this morning for a quick blast on the Uni of Teeside Office 40-player, ran the update fine, but when I get to the game I can only get 10fps, and everything has an orange tint to it. I heard that the latest upate mucked up some custom skins, but this is just plain old office, not mods or anything. I normally get 60/70fps on maps like de_dust, and about 40/50 on the Teeside one.
The only changes I've made to my PC lately are BF2, and Serious Sam 2 (the latter changed my directx9b to directx9c, I think?). BF2 runs ok, the demo ran ok too, but SS was just about playable, even on the lowest possible settings which was quite surprising as it didn't seem that graphically demanding - has it bodged my machine up somehow?

The update seems to have given a lot of people framerate issues. I used to have a constant 60fps but now varies wildy to about 30fps in places. I did notice that that Hi Dynamic Range lighting has become selected in my options, but i'm sure its not available in CS Source.

I noticed that too, so I turned it off - had to disconnect from the game though, so just gonna retry. I normally have everything like that low or off, but the option was on for some reason.
EDIT: I hadn't paid that much attention to the advanced settings for a while, but the option is there for maps that allow it.

Nope, it's screwed. Could only get 10fps max on a 16-player map. Thanks Steam, thanks.

Since the update 50% of time I try to connect I up with 'hl2.exe has encountered an error'. I also have a mate who since the update crashes out of the game every few minutes.
Anyone know when Lost Coast is going to be available for release?

Dunno, but I'm tempted to uninstall this piece of crap and sell it.

Hmmm. Apparently you're meant to run the game in directx8 mode, which you can do by right-clicking the shortcut, then adding " -dxlevel 80" to the path. It made mine crash though, the gaywads.

Thats what they told my mate. But whats the point in us both having fancy gfx cards (the same actually) and not getting the most out of them. Steam are just smacktards. The game ran fine before the update :|

Right, so that's CS ruined. The only solution I've heard of without some fancy, unofficial, fix, is to format. Great.

This is a PC forum, for PC gaming. CS on PC is superior to Xbox in every way possible. Now begone!

Nope, much prefer the Xbox one.
I know you have an Xbox and 5 quid would solve your CS problem.
Go fly off the handle if you must.

CS is a slightly different game to CS:Source. Well, it's superficially not, if you get my drift, but the mechanics of the games feel different.
