RECORDING DEMOS IS SAFE! (valve updates)6
Posted by [gb] spr1n on Saturday 16 February 2013 - 18:16:29 Comments: 11
There were a lot of controversy about valve update couple days ago.
Things are not that as bad as they may appear or how people are telling you!

RECORDING DEMOS IS SAFE!

Just make sure you have legal FPS. Valve released untested update, which had nothing to do with gameplay, motion and game physics. Update targeted purely visual aspects of the game (well and some file organization). All the gameplay difference that players "found" was caused by forced changed fps. Fps always did and still does affect hl/cs gameplay experience drastically, thats why we have a rule about it.

So dont worry, cs and kz are still alive and it will stay that way. All that negative hype is pretty much made up and came up out of valve's mistake, which was not that big of a deal actually.

In case you still have some troubles with steam or cs - make sure you've updated everything and restarted steam afterwards again. If problems continue or if you have some troubles setting up amxx / fixing fps - leave a comment and I will try to figure some universal solutions for you.

NB! Dont download any crap from the internet to fix your problems. 1st its illegal and may be infected with viruses or will get you VAC ban. 2nd all changes made by valve are configurable without additional files.

cheers!



UPDATED (20.02.2013)
possible solutions:


1. if you have troubles with steam client, such cs/steam updates
- try removing ClientRegistry.blob and restarting
- or this
- or start->run->regedit->go to find->search for "steam"->delete all folders containing any steam related registries
(updating and extracting packages takes some time, so be patient while it runs)

2. if you have fps issues:
- invest some time into video settings adjustment: -link-
- turn off ingame steam overlay. there were couple related bugs in latest updates, though its a long shot.
- some people get better fps when connected to a server, while its bad in main menu.
- using custom launch options may improve fps as well: "-nofbo -nomsaa" and/or "-noipx -nojoy"

3. Check your maximum fps cap!
If you have maximum fps value different rather 100.0 - fix it before recording any demos
in console/cfg: fps_override 0; fps_max 100; gl_vsync 0

4. Make sure you cs client doesnt participate in beta, this seem to cause problems as well

PS. I know those things dont solve all problems with recent updates, BUT personally I have cs running on 4 systems: Windows XP, 7, arch linux and ubuntu - ALL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, so dont give up, and if you found some solution for yourself - feel free to share it here as well.

It's sad to see this community for the last time, even though it was bound to happen some day. 12.5 years is a long time, especially since KZ has been in decline for all those years.. and yet we still have users and record breakers keeping this community alive.

Crazy to think that learning programming to develop this site would result in software engineering becoming my career. It was always fun to visit this site from time to time as a reminder of my first project.

Kudos to spr1n for starting all of this and keeping it alive. Too bad we never found the time to actually meet up, but never say never?

sad to see this time capsule go, would be a fun project to revive it if there was at least a handful of interested players

@Fps KZ-Rush is a good replacement, and XJ they will soon finish it in January, I think.
