A reminder that as zBlock is back it is now required again on your CS: Source match servers for EnemyDown based matches by default, if you now wish to play without zBlock you must specify so in your Match Notes

Installed on Meathook

Server restarted

I connected no probs WITHOUT having to add any silly commands to my config (I made sure that the config had the relevant line commented out)

Looks like we have a winner! If it goes OK over next few days/friday night then we should stick it on Boomer too.

I was checking regularly but I gave up waiting, it's been weeks since the steam update borked the last version. :sideways:

It helps level out the playing field if you know the opposition are less likely to be using cheats.

I guess you mean invalid DirectX level. It forces people to play in DX9 or higher as some of the existing hacks exploit DX7 and DX8 modes.

Whitey? This gonna be a problem for others too?

I've just tested and it's fine for me. I would think most people will be running DirectX 9 and if not, I can't think of any reason for them not too upgrade their version of DirectX to 9. Even if the card doesn't support all of the features of DirectX 9, it should still run OK but without the extra effects.

Please post if you think differently.

They may have an older card that only runs DX8. Why should they have to upgrade just to play a game that they can play perfectly well without the expense of a DX9 card. Think we may need to find out how many of our members have graphics cards that don't support DX9

Whitey · January 17, 2007, 10:17:38 PM

What I was getting at is that DirectX 8 cards work with DirectX 9, they just don't make use of all the new features. I have an old DirectX 7 card that runs DirectX 9 games but it just doesn't look as good (or have as high a frame rate). I don't think we'll be leaving anyone out unless thay just don't want to upgrade DirectX for some strange reason.

DirectX 8 is a subset of DX9. If you have a card that only supports DX8 then it is not running DX9.

if you have a DX 9 card I believe that you can force steam into running under DX8. This opens up opportunities for h4xing.
