Posted by appz at 09:50 24/9/2004.

An update to the Counter-Strike:Source Beta was released last night, including fixes for a number of bugs and performance improvements. Here's the changelog:

Improved DX7 graphics code path performance by up to 225%
Fixed key bindings for non-US layouts causing the scoreboard to be stuck on.
Fixed barrel nudging player forever if you crouched near it.
Made correct names appear in "attacked teammate" message.
Made changelevel due to map timelimit happen at round end.
Added intermission scoreboard at end of round.
Disabled hiding viewmodel with "impulse 200" if sv_cheats is off.
Fixed reload exploit.
Fixed C4 sound not playing while planting.
Stopped money icon being red on level change.
Added C4 icon in first person spectator mode if spectated player has the bomb.
Fixed a problem where the game would crash when run on Win98 with a NVidia 5900, 5950, or 6800.
Fixed crash due to stacking large numbers of weapons.
Fixed muzzle flashes showing incorrectly when switching players in spectator mode.
Fixed voice_banmgr.dt growing exponentially.

Prior to this a smaller Steam Client update was released fixing the server browser problem, which prevented some servers from being displayed, and re-enabled custom ingame content.

	mOrt 10:59 24/9/2004	Fixed a problem where the game would crash when run on Win98 with a NVidia 5900, 5950, or 6800. Seriously, who buys a 6800 to play on Windows 98 : I'd like to see how many people are actually on that setup [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DK Stalk Confront Engage Eliminate 11:01 24/9/2004	did u fill in the HL2 survey mOrt? If so you can look and see how many people are on what OS and what GFX card manufacturer. May look like a small percentage, but that adds up to a large number of people maybe. Its a small fix. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	SCEE\|Sarge 11:05 24/9/2004	the intresting thing i saw, was a 225% improved performance for DX7 graphics coding...... what about all the people using DX9+ cards that are getting s***ty FPS? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Demo conneXion 12:38 24/9/2004	CS:S has a long way to go before it even touches cs (both s*** games unfortunately). Valve could have just done something as simple as add some good maps to the official CS Map list. Everyone would have been happy then :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

Who knows, atm all ive heard is reports of people with 3Ghz P4's and 9800 Pro's getting 40 fps, now im assuming that DX7 cards were ultimatly s***e, maybe their just bringing that up to par 1st [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	dh 16:04 24/9/2004	70 - 200 fps with gfx like in css is good, but the thing i find that kills my fps is when u shoot barrels and when the physics kick in. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Havors 16:20 24/9/2004	Fix the friggin registry tbh! its even more eratic than 1.6 Also recoil is s* not as easy to control as 1.6 Also give us some different sodding maps! Im getting a steady 60fps with XP3000+ and 9800XT. Crap huh! :/ new cpu here i come! Oh and m0 u still stink u c*! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	N3M- endeffect 23:52 24/9/2004	exactly right sarge they just want the whole spectrum to have a pretty much equal chance of having a playable game of source atm. But im on a 3.2ghz with fx5900 ultra and im getting 60-70 fps with a little lower in big fps eating situations. But you also have to take into consideration the masses of people who think a computers performance is dictated by cpu + gfx :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	NoNo^ 07:09 25/9/2004	I still feel that valve havent coded this game to a high standard.Although I get good fps thats on a top spec pc.My son gets 20 to 40 on a decent spec pc :(.I stil feel detached from game and most kills are luck not skill hitboxes need drastic action.ATM it isnt a fair game as my fps gets me good scores and thats cant be correct that peeps with high end pcs come top should be down to skill alone [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Havors 12:28 25/9/2004	Ravors! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Havors 12:32 25/9/2004	Kiliki how the hell u getting 100fps? I have same system but with better gfx card and only get 60fps. Are you telling fibs? Is there a way to change between D3D & OpenGL in source? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	aboms-sister 12:49 25/9/2004	I bet you've all got really long dicks because you get decent fps in source. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

Streamlinging your system for gaming takes up some time, but once it's done it's done. Also I have these in my config: cl_ejectbrass "0" fog_enable "0" r_3dsky "0" r_eyes "0" r_teeth "0" [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	NoNo^ 07:33 27/9/2004	A recent email to Valve's Erik Johnson from a member at Halflife2.net sheds some light on why the latest CS: Source update was so massive in size.
