Title: white boxes showing up everywhere i shoot.
Post by: inerax on December 27, 2010, 01:31:53 am: So, every time i shoot i get white boxes. seems like this also happens below the player where shading should be.

also under some items in game.

i have searched the forums and seen some stuff that looks close but not the same.

i have new graphics cards. new drivers from the xfx site, even downloaded drivers from the AMD site. i go to update directx and it shows i have a newer or equivalent version.

directx 11 does work with other games.

AMD 3.4 quad
dual 6850's black edition crossfire
12gb ddr3 1600 ram
1000w PBU
dual 1tb HDD

Post by: VC on December 27, 2010, 02:05:33 am: Probably just a wireframe setting being enabled for some reason. I remember similar problems with CSS running on DX 7 back when DX 7 was available.

Post by: inerax on December 27, 2010, 02:19:24 am: hmm... how do i fix the wire frame thing?

im going to try to reinstall one more time. then disable crossfire if it is still happening.

In Steam go to Tools and then right click on Source SDK Base 2007, click properties then go to Local Files and Verify Integrity of Tool Cache.

All graphics drivers have been updated. DX11 updated.

did the SDK fix. found 300+ files that needed to be redownloaded.

Fixed!!! Thanks!!!!
