I told KM about this moments before release... This map should have gotten more love.

Yes, dynamic lighting is spiking in showbudget. Either there are animated lights in areas, or the point_spotlights didn't have dynamic lighting disabled (enabled by default btw). There was no issues in previous releases, so I don't know whats going on here. I'll look into it once I see Loafie on if he doesn't get into fixing up the problems.

Probably it's all the named lights that go with the generators.

In beta 4. beta 3 ran better.
I cant hold fps in caves map or runway it drops till i get to around 10 and 20 fps then my system crashes and does a system dumps sometimes or sometimes exits the GES
system spec are
Intel core 2 quad Q8200 @2.33 Hz.
8 GB ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 (Gddr3. (896MB) 3(refresh rate 75 Hz)
res works best at 800x600 or 1024x786
advance settings all on low, off except filtering is on triliner
about to get rid of windows vista

I have 1 other source game counter strike but i don't play it much
any suggestions? Thank you in advance

I don't get low framerates in caves unless I alt-tab out of game. When I get back in I get bad framerates in areas with generator lights. What I've noticed is that if I destroy all the generators in the map that my framerate returns to normal for the rest of the map.

It was exactly the same in 3.1

@little 00

This seems like its a driver issue. UNINSTALL your current drivers and restart. Windows will replace it with the default. THEN reinstall the latest version. Report back when done.


I request more specs on your system, software side. Firewalls, anti virus, etc. What are the specs on your HD (RPM, capacity, etc)

You know I have to run exec autoexec manually EVERY DAMN TIME because you haven't fixed this, KM.

[little 00]

Older drivers work a little better but have to use higher res or the game skips like on a CD but its on an HDD and that causes over heating problems then the fps goes down and and the game will freeze or exit or crash
I have ran system restore in the past but that only helps for a week then back to the same mess again

you must have a serious spyware/malware infection or your hard drive is about to poop itself. Suggest you upgrade to windows 7 ASAP and be CAREFUL with what you reinstall back to your system. (DO NOT DO AN UPGRADE OF WINDOWS)

[little 00]

as little 00 would say in game um ouch
YOUCH or ouch-eee
 
This tempts me to switch to Linux

[VC]

I run Linux as my main.  The only thing I use windows for is Source, and I don't plug the wire in until it's firewalled.

[little 00]

beta3 perfomance FTW

[little 00]

Is there a way to disable shadows that has always helped my system with any fps type game?

by the way widows 7 helped but this version got bad problems i have tried the older versions back to beta 1 and they were stable in Comparison video card memory is 896mb gddr3
