[kallikukur]

hello fella vista users !

i bought a new rig a few months back and got me some vista to let my memory be of full use.

i played cod4 and age of conan just fine.

but then my friend wanted me to come back and play some cs 1.6 .

i said ok ill own you a few times , i downloaded steam (i had an account that had cs on it) and then dowloaded cs from steam.

ok, now i was ready for some action , i enter the game and then when i got on a server and was on it for a few seconds it just well exitied (dont know if thats a word ).

no error message no nothing it just fell down :huh: ..

is this meh vista? because i played it fine on xp with my last computer .

Hi kallikukur,

I play 1.6 without problems

You might have a Graphics setting issue or model file issue,

Paste this command into your web browser and press enter, this will make Steam run a full diagnostic and analysis check of all games and settings and show the results after and should allow to you see the cause instantly

[B]steam://support/?Issues=*[/B]

If you still have problems after doing the recommendations from the Steam Performance checks you can Rightclick CS in Steam and goto properties then set the following Launch Options...

[B]-autoconfig -32bit -sw -noipx -d3d[/B]

-Autoconfig will discard any settings and use defaults [This will help check for any game config related errors]

-32bit will force the game to load as 32bit [can sometimes be useful for 64bit OS and dll related errors]

-sw will start in windowed mode [the game resolution can be higher than your display and cause the game to crash, this will help check if thats the cause]

-noipx will disable IPX support [not used in any Steam games but might help anyway]

-d3d will start the game in Direct3D mode [OpenGL is emulated though Direct3D so this will help determine if its a OpenGL error]


Let us know if you have any success or we can try a few more last options

Even if you don't manage to play cs 1.6 on Vista is that really that much of a problem that it would be worth going back to XP over? Also you didn't mention if you had tried to play it again after you were kicked! Is this a reoccurring thing on any sever?

 

[kallikukur]

i did try to enter again,

and i wasnt kicked .. the game just "exited"

Have you tried my suggestions yet? One of them will solve any issues you have with Steam Games

I use the same options if CS, CS Source or TF2 stuff up
