March 4, 200521 yr Ok, heres the skinny: After the last couple CSS updates (thanks valve! not), CSS suddenly started running like crap on my machine. Before these updates, everything ran like a dream, decent FPS throughout, no stuttering, nothing. Now, everytime I play the game it is choppy and I have a poor FPS. I have set all the graphics settings to lowest, and still the game chugs. I tried updating my drivers, nothing, I have tried analyzing the console and net_graph 3 readouts, nothing. Someone please help! PS Im going to annihilate Steam entirely and reinstall, and see if that helps. Reinstalling CSS alone didnt work either. Sys Specs: 1.7 Ghz Pentium M (eq to 2.8-3.0 ghz P4) 1024 mb PC 3200 or 2700 RAM (Cant remember, *blush*) 128mb ATI Fire GL T2 9600 Mobile (Despite being a workstation card, it has never, ever given me problems before) XP Pro w/ SP2 Drivers seem to be irrelevant, the game ran beautifully on 1+ yol drivers, then went to crap, remained crap with driver update.
March 4, 200521 yr Author nevermind, the issue magically resolved itself with a complete reinstall of steam
March 4, 200521 yr I got the same problem. At any time the game will all of a sudden drop to jaw dropping slow as hell slide show speeds... Happens randomly. I haven't tried anything yet, I just deal with it... I don't care lol Asus K8N AMD 64 2800+ 1gig PC3200 Sapphire Radeon X800XT PE (latest cat drivers) Game ran great before the update, all other games run fine. Really don't feel like fully reinstalling steam....ing....pile....of....
