Do you have some sort of skin or something that changes stuff in your cs:s??

And it begins…

I’m pretty sure this is why the council leader wanted zBlock tested.

it begins? wtf? It is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing….

Wonder why that is?

It has been up for almost two days now and there has been no complaints, lets give it a week like I said and then we can start *edited*ing about it if it starts becoming a problem, otherwise stfu and post in a thread of a game that you actually play in, unless of course you have something to add to the conversation that will help the discussion. Players who lower mat_dxlevel are not exactly legitimate players as has already been discussed.

As for skins we are working on a method to allow people to use approved skins.

Your right, my bad 24 hours exactly.

Setting the dxlevel lower causes walls in certain maps to become transparent, it also makes it so flashbangs don’t work on you.

um yea so retarded me here…. i saw that Liam said that it needed to be at 90 so i started fiddling w/ that number and yea…. now CSS and TF2 fail

 

 

MAY BE COMPLETELY UNRELATED!!!!

 

 

but the timing was pretty dead on… last thing i did was set mat_dxlevel “95” then i had a computer crash come back on and TF2 wont load and CSS laggs a mofo

Lose some weight…the only answer…

: P

If people have an older card, say a geforce 4 mx 440, they can only use directx 7. Same if they have intel extreme graphics. Can this setting be ignored cause I don’t think its fair to punish those with older hardware…

We can cross that bridge when we get there.

Um… if this thread was created by someone, doesn’t it mean we like already are there?

Liam said:

Umm. mat_dxlevel is the directx level, and last time I checked, they didn’t make a DirectX version 9.5.

 

Set it to mat_dxlevel 90, or 81

yea thats what i thought, BUT the original setting that it was on before i played with it was 95 soo yea

ill check that when i get home this evening

95 is a usable setting I remember fiddling with it a year or so ago, but again your dxlevel should work with and help your hardware, if it is causing more pain than help, then take it as low as you can without breaking the zBlock minimum. I know that 70 and lower makes it so flashbangs do not effect you, at least on the visual side, your ears still ring.

I just tried it at 70 and flashbangs did, in fact, turn my screen white.

95 is the pseudo-dx10 that Steam uses.

Bitey said:

Wish we could get same results on things when I tried it along with many others on the CAL website they came by the same results as me flashbang did not turn the screen white, I didn’t just pull it out of my *edited*….

With mat_dxlevel 70, flashbangs work fine on my 8800GTX, my roommate’s 8800GTS, and my laptop’s x600.

Bitey said:

All those are relatively new video cards aren’t they? I dunno maybe older video cards and slight changes to the config file will cause the flashbangs not to work, I dunno what to tell you man.

The x600 is 3 years old. The 8800s are about 16-18 months.

See if it still does that, it seems stupid for Steam to give those running DX7 an advantage. I bet they fixed it.

Also, I hate to keep bashing on CAL, but they aren’t exactly the most accurate source of information. If you go back a few years you’ll find some good lols on their forums.
