Counter-Strike Forum

hi, i have installed the new 7.2 games version, then steam with download, then counterstrike. game starts and i configured it to run in window mode 1280x800 i think. it needs about 80% on every of my 2 cpu cores. i have max fps but when there are many people (for example mini map gungame) the game lags and its impossible to play. are there any launch options to make it run better?
i have the mac version, a mid2007 macbook pro with 2x2,4ghz and geforce8600gt, 4gb ram
when there are many people then i have about 30fps, i tried it native in windows xp and it runs at 99fps when i underclock my cpu to 800mhz.
so i think it must a graphic bug?

regards chief

Is it network lag, or bad 3D performance? It sounds like a performance problem, not classic lag to me.

Make sure that you select the game's OpenGL renderer in the game. Also make sure that there are no other applications eating CPU time(Mac Apps or apps in CrossOver). Also make sure that MacOS doesn't throttle the GPU(e.g. when you're on battery, or the computer is overheating). If you never reach more than 60 fps, check if somewhere sync-to-vertical-blank is forced.

Your computer should be able run this game pretty much at 99fps in any rendering situation with CrossOver. If you disable the fps cap I estimate that it would run at maybe 300-500 fps.

I have the same issue when joining a server with 32/32 slots and gungame mod.

I could get as low as 25fps where in bootcamp I never get below 70fps.

In less intensive 3D scenerio, fps is stable at 99fps.
