When I am playing Day of Defeat Source the game runs very smooth but whenever there is an explosion in the game the game freezes and hangs for about 5 seconds then returns to play. Does anyone know if I can tweak any settings to fix this? I tried lowering the resolution and lowering model detail and such. As far as I can tell it is only when there are explosions in game.

Thanks,

I was paying a little more and it seems to be when i take damage from the grenade explosion I think it is a problem with rendering the shell shock effect.

I have a ticket about this issue, and I'll have to investigate this closer. The hint with the shell shock effect will surely be helpful!

Thanks so much. I am pretty sure that is what it is let me know if i can provide any other information to help.

Well I finally got it playing smoothly. I looked and found two cfg files someone made to increase video performance. After making a autoexec.cfg with this in it it started palying smoothly. I dont know which line in this fixes it but if works so here it is
