CSS Bugs [xiphrex]

There are quite a few bugs, I hope they read the steampowered forums and fix all the ones posted there.

The old css fps configs still work fine, there are only a few cvars that dont work anymore but they did nothing before either (like r_phong).

But multicore support there are new cvars and also a few more below:

Code:

// CSS Orange Box update
r_bloomtintg "0"
r_bloomtintb "0"
r_bloomtintexponent "0"
r_bloomtintr "0"
r_drawdetailprops "0"
r_flashlightrendermodels "0"
r_hunkalloclightmaps "0"
r_lightcache_zbuffercache "0"
r_propsmaxdist "0"
r_staticprop_lod "7"
r_sse_s "1"

cl_clearhinthistory "1"
cl_detaildist "0"
cl_detailfade "0"
cl_debugrumble "0"
cl_playerspraydisable "1"
cl_showhelp "0"

mat_alphacoverage "0"
mat_bloom_scalefactor_scalar "0"
mat_maxframelatency "0"
mat_max_worldmesh_vertices "0"
mat_software_aa_blur_one_pixel_lines "0"
mat_software_aa_strength "0"
mat_software_aa_strength_vgui "0"
mat_software_aa_tap_offset "0"

prop_active_gib_limit "0"
adsp_debug "0"

// Multicore Support
mat_queue_mode "2"
cl_threaded_bone_setup "0"
cl_interp_threadmodeticks "0"
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system "0"
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager "1"
r_threaded_particles "1"
r_threaded_renderables "1"
r_queued_decals "0"
r_queued_post_processing "1"
r_queued_ropes "1"
mp_usehwmmodels "-1"
mp_usehwmvcds "-1"

Only just tested the above and it didnt seem to do anything negative. FPS was the same though. So I think it comes down to using mat_queue_mode "2" or "-1" (both are the same thing)

New CSS Update 2010

The CSS Beta update has gone gold and been released. Took a while to update but its finally done.

How you guys finding it?

I quite like the fact they have locked server tickrate to 66. The rate of fire has been fixed as well so it doesnt rely on tickrate, so the AK fires the same speed as on 100tick. Also on clientside server anyway, the reg is pretty good I reckon, better than before. Still to test it in the real world but servers are updating across the land!

Also multicore support works and you have to turn it on manually.

I hope they fix the dx9 bugs for ATI users, I hate having to use dx8 to get around that. Also I think a new bug has been introduced which is the excessive fog on d2 in dx8. The most pointless 'feature' of d2 is to have that fog, it just looks like the colours are washed out, I cant see shit properly, 100% pointless:



That might look normal to some of you but its quite different from just before the update for me. Also things are brighter, like reflections off barrels etc are much brighter.

Theres also a slight zooming animation when you allow the awp to rezoom after shooting (without quickswitching), sort of like the autosniper.

Oh btw here are the new optimized netcode settings to use clientside (courtesy of Regnam):

Code:

rate "35000"
cl_cmdrate "66"
cl_updaterate "66"
cl_interp "0"
cl_interp_ratio "1"
cl_lagcomp_errorcheck "0"
cl_lagcompensation "1"
cl_predictweapons "1"
cl_smooth "0"
cl_smoothtime "0.01"

DONT play with cl_cmdrate 100 and cl_updaterate 100, it doesnt put it down to 66 automatically, and the reg is god awful!

Dignitas Disband [Cadred]

Team Dignitas have decided to release their CS:S team after 2 members left.

Earlier this year, Team Dignitas announced that they would be picking up a team to fill their EPS UK spot, and proceeded to sign Team AMDERS. This team was certainly not the same sort of level that their previous CS:S team had been up to, but dignitas were willing to give this lesser team a chance.
However it has been announced today that they have been released from the dignitas squad with immediate effect. This has come about due to two of the players of the team choosing to leave. Not wanting to rebuild the lineup, ODEE indicated on the Team Dignitas site that they would stop their contracts short.

The following has come from the official Team Dignitas post on their site:

With regret I have to inform everyone that we have released our Counter Strike Source team from our organisation. The team joined us earlier this year when we decided to give a lesser known team a chance to develop over time within our ranks.

With two players deciding to leave the team we have decided to call it a day with the remainder of the line-up. We had every intention to continue with this team for the agreed period that we had in place with a view to review the progress that had been made. Unfortunately this catastrophic break within the team has reversed our plans.

The old dignitas CS:S roster featured:

 Ryan 'SkiddY' Hudson
 Mike 'ZooL' Eastham
 Scott 'SM' Mansell
 David 'icebox' Morris
 Mike 'Acky' Halliwell
