Hello remember me ? I used to play CS my loyalties have moved to WOW a little bit but... I would like to play CS but cannot get the game to load.:taz:
If I go in through steam or CS direct it loads the screen then the screen goes totally black. If I load it by connecting to boomer the screens is the same but i get a repeating sound.
I think I need to get into the set up options and reduce the sound, this worked a few years back but I can't get in if the game won't load... any ideas ??:crying:
Go here (http://home.covad.net/%7Ek25125/SteamyThings/HL_Command_Line_Switches_FAQ.htm) and check out the switches for d3d or software and also width of screen. You can also force wav instead of directsound
have a play, one or more of these options should get you in.
Verify you local game files too. Can't do any harm.
Did the above no joy also deleted game content no joy any other ideas ?
try forcing it to start in software mode instead of d3d - that "should" get you to the menu screen where you can play with the options. if you have write protected your config remember to unwrite protect it before starting CS.
The switch is -soft
Ehrm, I tryed playing CSS today and had to shut off Folding...
Try it...
Still no joy ( I shut off folding) still get a black screen and PC crashes..defrag on game and HD...
DX diag FTW or loss ......:crying::crying::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

Nice reply Jew...think that won't help him...:eyebrow:
Smashing seems like my only option, I actually join the game but only see a black screen :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::taz::taz::taz::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2:

Go into Steam
Create a shortcut to Counterstrike on your desktop
add the following to the command line for the shortcut:
-d3d -w 1024 -full -console
and try running it from the shortcut.

:withstupid:
Also you may as well go whole hog and make sure you stop any unecessary programs and services running by loading
msconfig and deselecting everything unecessary. Reboot and try again.
I'm trying to think of a good name :D BB? Any ideas? :D
Looks like a hardware problem to me. Have you updated all your video & soundcard drivers?...I had the same problem a while back, (black screen etc), you'd suspect a video problem?..turned out to be a soundcard issue...if you've updated all relevant drivers, try getting a new soundcard that supports surround 5.1......

You can add
-wavonly to the command line to disable directsound in case it is causing the problem.
You can replace -d3d with -gl to try OpenGL instead of Direct3D (if your card supports OpenGL)

How do you add a command line ? sorry if this is really obtuse but I am not that hot on this stuff, 1 other solution is remote access ?
Please how do you add to command line . :crying:

Right click on your steam icon and select "Games".
Right click on "CS:Source" and select "properties"
Click on "Set launch options" and put the command line entries in there.
Remember to remove them once you have finished (or at least the ones you no longer want)

I'm sure this stuff means something to someone?
thought about a restore point? before all the problems?
Just wondering but have we mentioned deleting the .blob file and restart steam and game?

Dont think so but that is usually more a steam fix than a cs fix (certainly couldnt make things worse though)

Thought I'd mention it because of this line:

You always get that - its a screw up in the coding that tries to enable the dynamic pricing function which we have turned off on our server. It shouldnt have any effect.
or you could unintall steam the reinstall it then the games even though it could take some time
but you could all ways do it over night :D:eyebrow:
Looking at the bit that crashes it is the terror.mdl file (the model file for the terrorist). I think the best way would be to reinstall

Or delete it and get it from someone that works.
Did you trying doing a full re-install?
Yeah i did and still no joy, it could be my PC (lol).. im gonna load it up and try 1 more time.
