VooDooPC December 28, 2004 Share VooDooPC Member December 28, 2004 I was trying to get my game to have a bit more constant frame rate so it wouldn't dip down to 10 in a fire fight. Me being Mr.Lazy i didn't want to mess with all the CVARs Autoexecs and that stuff so i thought i'd tried out direct X 7. I only wish i discovered it earlier, its practicly doubled my frame rate, no more slide shows in fire fights. I was also bored, so i thought i'd finally enable my voice thing. Wow, a BIG difference that makes. I don't know how i lived without it. People say where bad guys are and tell their team what to do tactics wise. So, if anyone was talking to me on their mic and i just sat there. Thats why, becuase i had it off! ....kinda makes me wonder who has been talking to me when i am just standing there... I thought i'd post this so you guys know i will be more alert and be somewhat useful in a fire fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConGregation December 28, 2004 Share ConGregation Member December 28, 2004 How do you change the directx level. Mine is on 9.0 but has no options to go lower (or higher for that matter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC December 29, 2004 Author Share VooDooPC Member December 29, 2004 I had it off becuase every other server had some little whiney kid killing my ears. I'm not a newbie, i just prefer to not have my ears bleed. You can change the direct X level by right clicking Counter Strike Source in steam. Going to properties, click launch options and type in: -dxlevel 70 for dirext X 7, or: -dxlevel 81 for direct X 8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concreto December 30, 2004 Share Concreto Member December 30, 2004 (edited) You can change the direct X level by right clicking Counter Strike Source in steam. Going to properties, click launch options and type in: -dxlevel 70   for dirext X 7, or: -dxlevel 81  for direct X 8.1. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can this be done on the fly? Like through the console? I know that you can change the regular video settings on the fly. Edited December 30, 2004 by Concreto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decoy December 31, 2004 Share Decoy Member December 31, 2004 mat_dxlevel 70mat_dxlevel 81 mat_dxlevel 90 For changing through the console. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> mat_dxlevel 70 crashes the game on de_inferno_soop. It's by the T spawn when it happens. Run up the halfway and poof, your game freezes and you have to shut it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC December 31, 2004 Author Share VooDooPC Member December 31, 2004 Is it the mat_dxlevel 70 command or using Direct X 7 on the map? Becuase use of mat_dxlevel isn't advised, its prone to crashing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
