cs:source question

[FRITOS21]

well, my cs:source is being really skippy and laggy, and i dont know why.... it might be because i have so many mods and skins on, so i want to delete it an reinstall it, but if i delete it will it let me reinstall it? how?

it also might be because my virus protection has run out and i cant get it back working again... does anybody know any free virud protection things that work good?

Try running the video stress test. It may be your connection that is laggy.

[DeLinKweNt21]

yea lol,it might be your connection.I tried to play and the screen froze when i got shot.So my full blast speakers on my laptop kept looping a gun shot.

Mess with your video options, I had a good card back in the day when It first came out and I still had to have everything on low. If you want to delete and reinstall just go to your SteamApps folder, I'm assuming you know where it is considering you installed skins, and deleted your whole counter-strike: source folder. As long as gcf file remains, you'll be fine. You may need to update but it won't take as long as re-downloading. Basically when you first load a game, steam extracts everything from the gcf file into that folder were you install skins and such. Deleting the folder will force steam to re-extract the gcf. I think with most gcf files when you update your game it gets updated too so I don't think you will have to update but I'm not 100% sure on cs:s cause I've never tried it.

Again, your specs might have something to do with it. Source based games are insane and take up a crazy ammount of recourses. Maybe your computer isn't 1337 enough for it.

Hmmm. I've never heard a PC be described as "1337" before. I'm suprised you're having problems though, my PC is pretty basic and I get like 80 FPS on the video stress test.

Your Pc can easily run css.
Try deleting the regisrty.blob file in the valve folder that normally soerts it out otherwise check that no firewalls are blocking it or try stop running all your background programs if running any.

[PiRatE.]

yeah liek he said, turn off firewall. To exit background pograms, press Alt-Ctr-Del and go to Processes. Click "User Name" to get all of the processes you're currently running. You can End all of the EXCEPT explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe. NEVER END LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE, AND/OR SYSTEM PROCESSES!!!!!

[PiRatE.]

Oh yeah. Do this at your own risk. Those were instructions on turning of background applications I found in a manual for BF2, but do at YOUR OWN RISK!

[DeLinKweNt21]

yea when i first played mine i was like this.But it stopped after a while.But when i finally got to play i realized the game sucked anyway.Worst $30 investment ever.
