Draconian Guppy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Ok so I installed cs 1.6 on a machine and it's getting horrible frame rates, it starts at 75 in the main menu, then during gameplay it stays at 4fps bouncing from 4 to 25fps ( but feels like 4 :| ) here are the specs of the pc attached on the image (I used the search looking for similar problems, but most of them did not have any answers/solutions) Edit: This same machines runs hl & hl2 at decent frame rates, don't understand what the problem with CS is :| Edited May 9, 2005 by maudit Victor Rambo 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/318234-need-help-with-cs-16-fps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizar Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 check your "fps_max" setting. default is 72 but maybe somehow it got turned down.... also try searching the steam forums... a lot of times a bunch of people will be having a problem and someone will write a FAQ for it.

+virtorio MVC Posted May 9, 2005 MVC Share Posted May 9, 2005 Isn't 1.6 based on the older Half-Life engine? If so, you might want to make sure it its using the right (either Direct3D/OpenGL or Software Rendering) video driver.

There is something running that prevents the server from cleanly telling the game on your HD what is going on. You've integrated the game into Steam, right? Get a copy of blackvipers services guide, use autopatcher, or grab gamegain to free up resources for Counterstrike. A quick run of some Ram freeing utility that allows you to force unused DLLs out of ram (Tweak Xp does this, but there are others). Things you don't want running behind an online shooter: BitTorrent Any Other Downloading software Any application that has Automatic Updates enabled (Realplayer, Quicktime, Windows update, etc.) Any cleaning application You want all available resources for the game. Are you using SP2? Firewall? Make sure Counterstike is allowed to pass.

.fury Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 check your rates. also, type "net_graph 3" in console, join server, and tell us what your choke and loss are. if they are both 0 we know it is actual fps related, but if they are alot higher it is to do with your rates or network settings.

.fury Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 do you get the same problem if you make a listen server? e.g. connected to a server on a LAN or on your own PC.
