ZeroDamage October 20, 2008 Share ZeroDamage October 20, 2008 What are your system specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo October 20, 2008 Share Cujo October 20, 2008 well you're lagging cause your choke is 200. your fps of 25 won't help much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gOOters October 20, 2008 Author Share gOOters October 20, 2008 thx for the posts guys. yes, I know that the choke is what is causing the lag, I want to know what settings will fix it? HeyZD! System is old. Cant remember. I think Asus MB, AMD 2600, 1GB Ram, Radeon 9800Pro 256MB. The problem just started when my steam quit working, so I un-re-installed Steam with CSS. So...settings prob or do I need to totally reformat my comp. Its only been a year or so since I did a total reformat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage October 20, 2008 Share ZeroDamage October 20, 2008 You probably had a custom config for your cs that made it run better fps wise. You seriously need a system upgrade though. Not sure how much better your fps can be made. Make sure that AA is disabled in the advanced video settings and turn down all of the other stuff in there such as shadows and what not. I think they are turned on by default with a fresh install of Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo October 20, 2008 Share Cujo October 20, 2008 with a default config your choke should never be 200. if it is then start looking for other problems with your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather October 21, 2008 Share Fairweather October 21, 2008 would getting random loss be associated with playing wireless/crummy internet or is that a settings thing aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus October 25, 2008 Share Primus October 25, 2008 (edited) I haven't been playing CSS much but ive been popping in now and then recently. I had the same problem, jump in and pwnd by everyone. Not saying that I'm any good anyways, but I play for the fun. If I get to kill M2 or some of you other guys, then it was all worth it. So I got to looking around for some tweaks and what not and found this autoconfig. I think its from like 2006 but its CAL specs and I get from the 90's to like 120's and 130's in fps and no choke. It might work well with that system without having to fork out any cash for now. It works pretty good for me but I'm running dual core and an 8800gts 320mb. Here ya go, and if there are any issues with this, please feel free to let me know. I don't want to be running anything thats going to give me problems.
