Cujo

i have noticed a delay after round ends on stock. feels like the server is frozen. i can't confirm scopeless having a longer delay as i've not played inferno on scopeless that i can remember.

err wow. sorry i was really tired when i posted that. i meant aperture has nothing to do with the amount of vid card ram.

i'd like to think that charging Cujo period is a bad idea in all situations. i don't remember this p90 incident in particular but i do remember full auto killing 6 of you guys rushing b tunnels. me and java pwned that 1 round. yes it WAS the only round we took as ct but it was a good round. oh yea and i called the strat for that round. hehehe.

that was the most frustrated i've been in a long while. as always i love the competition but i felt so useless half the time. oh well. tonight just wasn't my night. gg all. i will look forward to the next one. btw, 18+5 = 23... where was the 24th round? i was wondering why it ended 10-1. we might have taken that last round... request for next time: can we go 15 rounds per side like cal?

much testing was done by ppl at oc forums on this. they found the best setting to be 32mb if you have 512mb system ram and 64mb if you have a gig. pagefile has nothing to do with the amount of ram on your vid card. brillow if you found a fps increase are you sure it was on the same map? i get fps drop in heavy firefights and i'm fairly certain it's a cpu issue. tonight i will try increasing mine from 64 to 256 and see if i notice a difference.

i coulda told you that... lol. if you run at 1600x1200 with aa and af maxxed then you might notice a difference. if i run at 1280x960 with everything cranked my peak ram usage jumps to 900mb. same res but without aa and af and my peak never goes higher than 700mb.

i get that. i just wish it could. btw, as per FAQ in steam forums i now use a cmdrate of 100 and updaterate of 30. seems to be the best solution. lovin the 24 player server again though. definately noticably smoother than 28 player.

v-sync wouldn't make his fps 9... unless he has a really crappy monitor. ewww 9Hz... that'd be brutal on the eyes.

umm how does that work exactly??? based on that pic there's no way it would work with MOST video cards. cept maybe short ones designed for mini pc's.

could be anything. try turning your gfx options down.

http://www.fraps.com/ it's a neat tool to monitor your fps stats.

i think they should do something halfway. it could show up right away if it's a teammate and not show up if it's an enemy. REALISTICALLY, if you're working as a team you should never be in the situation of accidentally shooting your own guy. REAL counter-terrorists would have trained manouvers and would constantly relay their position. how much realism do you want? if the radar covered a bigger surface area i would have no issues with this update. why can't they have a mini map over lay instead of radar? one where you can see where all your guys are. in my opinion the radar NEEDS updating.

i notice demo chop as well. amd 64 3400+ 1MB L2 @ 2.4GHz 1gig pc3700 OCZ eb 2x120gig 7200rpm SATA in RAID 0 x800pro i run 1280x960@100Hz with all the gfx options in game at the lowest settings. my fps rarely drops below 40 even in heavy firefights. ocing my cpu from 2.2 to 2.4GHz gave me noticable performance increase in heavy firefights. no one should ever be concerned with "highest" fps or "avg" fps. it's all about your lowest fps. so long as it never drops below 40 you will never have any problems playing. use a tool like FRAPS to test what your min, max and avg fps is in a few tough firefights on different maps.

yea sorry i don't have admin... yet dirty came in and showed the hacker who was boss.

dx9 mode should be perfectly fine. ram and cpu is your problem. you also probably have the gfx turned up too high. try dropping some of your visual display settings. if your fps doesn't change at all then you know you're limited by something other than video card. i noticed a difference in source way back in the fall when i went to a gig of ram from 512mb.

it's not defective. it's just configured wrong.

i had the same thign happen a few days back. i just restarted cs and it was all better. very strange though.

everyone always rags on cbble. it's the MOST EVEN MAP in cs. i've never seen one side dominate provided the skill is even. it also gives the best fps of any map in source cause it doesn't have a lot of physics crap. it's also my best map in the stats. mostly because of the great fps. as for the topic, i love contra. i'm still learning it and constantly finding new places to hide or cool stuff to do. i do think though that it is the most unrealist map and colour wise it's very boring... except for those cool pink and black squares... i really should dl the version online...

yea. i changed my cmdrate and updaterate to 25 and 30 respectively and my choke has definately dropped. my registration seems exactly the same though. i definately noticed a lag jump when the server went to 28 players from 24. i just played on csls private server for a bit which is the same host and location as stock midwest afaik and i get 30 ping and 0 choke. so it's either the server can't handle the number of players or my connection can't handle the number of players. though my dl speed is always much higher than upload on netgraph and nowhere close to my max bandwidth.

if it's fine with your bros and not with yours then it's definately something with your comp. could be viruses or spyware. it could even be your NIC but that's not at likely.

fatty, that's awesome. i was against 28 from the beginning. zd, so the server basically can't receive my packets fast enough then. i ping 30-50 in netgraph and i have 60k/sec upload limit. shouldn't i get 0 choke? m2, i get it every round. varies from 0 up to about 50. i've got all my connection settings tweaked as well.

what is it? why is it so bad? is it worse on gc servers or is it bad on other servers too? i know it's never an issue on our private server. it was so bad on stock just now i had to stop playing. nothing registers, everything feels laggy, and i just got sick of it and left. i don't remeber it being that bad when server was only 24 players... but maybe it was and i just didn't notice.

get the 32mb turbocache not the 16 or 64 mb one if you're gonna buy now. see here you can also read the rest of the review. i just linked to the most relevant page. the beginning of the review explains what all this means. based on that article i'd wait for the bigger x300 as they suggest.

are you using the auto ram timings? make sure your ht multi is at 4x. set your fsb to 200 and then ram speed to auto. all timings to auto. ram voltage to 2.7. try updating the bios first though.

wow ram is really getting cheap.
