lostoften May 28, 2008 Share lostoften Member May 28, 2008 Can't get CSS to load, keeps giving me the error above; right before it would normally join the server. Crysis also has an issue where the game flickers in and out. I have tried to fix this by; performing windows updates, updating directx, and installing updated videocard drivers. Nothing has worked, I even ran 3dmark06 to make sure it was a graphics card issue. any ideas would be appreciated. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo May 28, 2008 Share Cujo Member May 28, 2008 did you remove the old drivers first? what does google say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostoften May 28, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member May 28, 2008 Yes, I uninstalled this time I did not find google too helpful, other than other people are also having the problem. Steam forums has a page about what to do: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=5204-UOSN-9830 However, I haven't made any changes to my anti-virus software, changed any graphics settings, nor installed any other programs. Last night I tried changing the resolution to 600X480 but that also failed. Not sure how much good would come from deleting my css game cache since the problem is also affecting crysis. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoner May 28, 2008 Share Demoner Member May 28, 2008 there was an update for steam yesterday, did you download and install that update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo May 28, 2008 Share Cujo Member May 28, 2008 you're right. if you didn't change anything system wise then there isn't much point trying too much. looks like it's format and re-install time. if that doesn't fix it then you know you have a hardware problem.

lostoften May 28, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member May 28, 2008 Steam automatically updates, and with the installing vid drivers my comp was restarted several times (and thus steam). Can it still be a hardware issue if 3dmark06 ran fine, score was 5500 and was 5900 when new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the steam forums for how to select a different D3D version. Steam added some D3D10 support in the most recent update. Potentially could have caused other problems.

lostoften May 28, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member May 28, 2008 CS runs fine, but COD4 doesn't. I did not try forcing it to a lower dx level, because whats the point of having a decent video card, if its running at a subpar level? I did delete the video card when in safe mode, and reboot and install but that failed also. Going to try and give ati a call tom since they close at 5:30 est.

lostoften May 29, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member May 29, 2008 Ati's response is to boot into safe mode and uninstall any windows ati updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostoften May 29, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member May 29, 2008 Well got it running; ended up doing a system restore while in safe mode back to the beginning of may and then updating everything again. I guess i am back to the old video card driver, but gonna leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
