i love the new net graph. it shows your true ping this time. because if u increase your cl_updaterate value too high, the ms counter dissappears, this time you can see it.

So having an ms count is better then non now? How exactly does this work? I mean what does what mean?

[Pharlap]

it means net graph shows your ping accurately now.

lol wow ur smart..



more ms means ?

less ms means ?

[MaxiM]

Lower ping is better, higher is worse, it's simple as that. Less ping means less delay between your PC and server you are playing on.



BTW, is this new icon thing still working? It dissapeared on me and never showed up again :/

[xlokix]

anyone know what the security module thing you download is, maybe a client side to valves anti-cheat? :\ idk just a guess

[MaxiM]

I think we was downloading this since always, only now we can see it.



But back to my question: is bomb indicator icon still on?

I was asking ppl on servers but nobody saw it now. Did VALVe removed it already? It was damn good addition (in case you don't know what i'm talking about click here too see it, it's next to the timer on the right).

I honestly think the autosnips are a little to accurate now. Maybe tone them down slightly, just a tad more recoil and they will be good.



was on cs_italy and one guy was completely dominating with the T's auto snip, forgot which one that was. the SG one I believe?



They are fun to use now, but after a while whoring with them it gets to be like the AWP, boring, pointless and empties servers



On the other hand, guess what I saw being used more because of this. Yes thats right. The shield is now highly popular for the CT's, considering the T autosnip is alot more accurate then the CT. Every server so far I have steped into there have been 1-3 shields running around stopping the low recoil to the autosnips. I am not complaning about the autosnip, just thinking maybe this was Valves way to make the shield a little more useful and get people to start using it more.



So maybe this was a good move with the autosnips, just still think they are too accurate...no worries though, its change right, just gotta adapt to it.

Is anyone else not able to connect to a cs server because Steam is having a problem connecting to an authentication server?

Wow.... its a sad that when someone complains about the autosnipers... even now with them BALANCED!!!!! They shouldn't nerf them AGAIN (well, not the G3, since the Sig550 never experienced a nerf).

i dont know about anybody else, but i used the auto snipers before the update. i did notice the smoothness. i enabled net_graph, 30fps, as always. i thought it might be my card bc i was hitting it yesterday because my screen kept going yellow. then i realised my gfx cable was loose. my mouse kept flickering in the menu, so valve probably messed with the refresh rate (?). autobuy and rebuy are useless, and "i dont see no shadow". altogether, good update. one step closer to cz.

[Electronic Punk]

Auto Buy is pretty useful.

The shadows are merely cosmetic and fairly useless, but a nice touch.

[MaxiM]

nvm about bomb icon, it's still there, tho on some servers it's not showing, dont know why. Autos are fine (i think) and i didnt noticed heavy shielders activity, on my fav servers i still dont see any shields (god bless you for that).



GhettoHistorian try typing cl_shadows 1 in the console, maybe it will help.



Oh, and i must say this again, shadows are very nice, but TOO SMALL.

I totally love this update, and it made my day when i went into a server, bought a G3, and was accused for cheating after killing two T's with ak's....



heh...

not cheating, the g3 is terrorists only weapon so if you bought it and took out two ts with aks you were obviously tking.

dont quite know what u want but here goes. ms is a measurement of time, milliseconds. thats the delay that your input experiences as it travels to the server, and back again.

I think in MY opinion, they may be a little to overbalanced now. Again this is just from my experiences in servers, maybe you guys were having different ones. But from what I saw, not only did the entire team have one, but there were no T deaths for 6 rounds straight....and they were rushing....with the autosnip....and dominating!



And I wasent complaining. If I were complaining, you would of seen the normal rants the CS community produces like. OMG, this gun totaly sux0rz, I hate CS I hate Steam...ect...
