This tutorial is intended for people with low end machines, which can be qualified as machines with some type of 1.7 gigahertz processor or below, an agp slot - mostly towards 4x, or an nVidia 5900 series or below card or an ATI 9600 series or below (although you may also want to copy and paste the following link for the VALVe hardware assesment service) steam://support/?Issues=* . It is separated into six sections: 1. Graphic Card Drivers 2. Command Line Settings 3. Automatically Executed Configuration 4. Setting Priorities 5. In game settings. 6. Other Helpful links It is intended to get the maximum playability for those who can not afford to upgrade; it is not going to make a pretty game with all the bells and whistles, rather, it will turn them ALL OFF. Your game, when done, will now graphically resemble CS 1.6, but hopefully will be more playable in Source. This tutorial is not intended for users who already have a decent machine and just want to "squeeze out a few more fps", rather, it's for players who have fps problems. I hope it helps. This tutorial can easily be modified to work on all Source games, not just CS: S. **Note** THIS TUTORIAL PROBABLY WON'T HELP IF YOU DON'T HAVE AT LEAST THE MINIMUM SPECS 1.) Graphic Card Drivers BE SURE TO HAVE DirectX 9.0c INSTALLED. NOT SURE WHAT VERSION YOU HAVE? CLICK START-> RUN-> TYPE IN DXDIAG. THIS WILL TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY Older cards require older drivers. Just because a new driver was released doesn't mean you should install it. They won't help geForce F/X or ati 9600 or below series owners, and may in fact hinder you. I think nVidia put it best, on this one. Guru3d has a great database of graphics drivers for everything, and an awesome forum to help you identify which drivers you need(although for older nVidia users I recommend the 79.11 drivers). Check them out at: Guru of 3D But, be sure to use the software removal tools for any drivers. There are some on Guru of 3D although I've also heard good things about Driver Cleaner, too. When you've downloaded and installed the driver removal tool of your choice, and after you've downloaded but before you've installed the new driver, be sure to: * open Control Panel-> Add/remove Software-> find your card's drivers -> remove * Reboot in Safe Mode ->tap the f8 key while rebooting to get this option * Run the driver removal tool of your choice * Reboot normally * Install your new driver 2.) Command Line Settings THESE ARE EASY TO UNDO First, start Steam. (Figure 2 shows DoD:S, substitute CS:S instead) * Then, right click on the Steam icon in the lower right hand corner Figure 1. * Select Games Figure 1. * Right click on Counter Strike : Source Figure 2. * Click Properties * Click Set Launch Options Figure 2. * enter in the following commands, the only spaces being between the commands as well as the command values Figure 2.: Set the amount of ram used by Steam*. it is recommended to use 1/2 your available ram - so for the following: Code: -heapsize <number> * Ram - Heapsize * 2 gigs - 1048576 * 1 gig - 524288 * 512 megs - 262144 * 256 megs - 131072 * 128 megs - 65536 (you should consider buying more ram) *VALVe has said that this doesn't control the same resources it did in Half-Life. For more information read this. Specify the DirectX level used by the game.** Code: -dxlevel <number> * DxLevel - Number * 9.0c - 90 (really unnecessary if you are already fine) * 8.1 - 81 * 8.0 - 80 * 7.0 - 70 (recommended for very low-end, although leagues consider this a cheat, for which I can understand.) **Also, once set, you should remove this command from the launch options before the next time you play. That way, if you've made any video setting changes from the game engine after this, it will save and not reset itself each time. 3.) Automatically Executed Configuration TO UNDO THESE, RENAME OR DELETE THE AUTOEXEC.CFG FILE, THEN START THE GAME. OPEN YOUR CONSOLE ANDTYPE IN THE FOLLOWING - -autoconfig Thanks, Bazooka Copy the following code (Thanks, Casey) and paste it into windows notepad. Name it autoexec.cfg and save it in your c:\Program Files\Steam\ . . .counter-strike source\hl2\cfg\ directory. **Note**Both the r_drawdetailprops and the r_propsmaxdist are considered cheats in most leagues, so do not include these if you play in CAL, TPG, BFE, or ViE ** Here are the commands, with a brief explanation (to activate or de-activate certain lines, simply comment or un-comment them by adding or removing "//" in front of the actual command. when the two forward slashes are there, like "//mat_dxlevel 60" that means it's not going to be read by the computer.): Code: // Casey's Source Config // Updated 6/26/06 // _Set netcode settings_ // _adjusts hitboxes and netcode settings for optimal registration_ cl_cmdbackup 2 cl_cmdrate 101 cl_interp 0.01 cl_interpolate 1 cl_lagcomp_errorcheck 1 cl_lagcompensation 1 cl_updaterate 101 cl_smooth 1 rate 25000 // _Set graphics settings_ // _adjusts graphics settings to boost framerate_ cl_ejectbrass 0 // _disables shells flying out of guns_ cl_forcepreload 1 // _forces preload to help increase performance_ cl_phys_props_enable 0 // _disables trash and cans etc_ cl_phys_props_max 0 // _disables trash and cans etc_ cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0 // _disables dead animations and bodies_ cl_show_splashes 0 // _disables splashes when in water_ fps_max 101 // _caps FPS_ mat_forceaniso 0 // _disables anisotropic filtering_ mat_antialias 0 // _disables antialiasing_ mat_bloomscale 0 mat_bumpmap 0 // _disables bumpmapping_ mat_clipz 1 // _disabled non visible object rendering_ mat_fastnobump 1 // _faster bump mapping_ mat_fastspecular 1 // _fast specular lighting_ mat_mipmaptextures 1 // _texture quality decreases with distance_ mat_hdr_enabled 0 // _disables high dynamic range lighting_ mat_picmip 1 // _lower texture quality--set between 0 and 4_ mat_reducefillrate 1 // _reduces shader fill rate_ mat_specular 0 // _disables specular lighting_ mat_trilinear 0 // _disables trilinear filtering_ mat_wateroverlaysize 16 // _lowers water quality_ mat_vsync 0 // _disables vertical synchronization_ mp_decals 50 // _how many bullets etc will be shown_ muzzleflash_light 0 // _disables muzzleflash_ r_3dsky 0// _disables 3d skybox_ r_avglight 0 // _disables average lighting_ r_cheapwaterend 1 // _worse water rendering_ r_cheapwaterstart 1 // _worse water rendering_ r_decal_cullsize 2 // _lower texture quality at distance_ r_decals 0 // _disables player sprays_ r_drawdetailprops 0 // _disables detail props_ r_drawflecks 0 // _disables bullet impacts_ r_drawmodeldecals 0 // _disables decals on models_ r_dynamic 0 // _disables dynamic lighting_ r_eyes 0 // _removes eyes from player models_ r_lightaverage 0 // _disables average lighting_ r_lightinterp 0 // _disables light interpolation_ r_lod 0 // _adjusts model quality--set between -5 and 5_ r_occlusion 0 // _disables occlusion--lowers image quality but gains FPS_ r_propsmaxdist 100 // _lower object fading distance_ r_renderoverlayfragment 0 r_rootlod 2 // _lower overall game detail level_ r_shadows 1 // _set to 0 to disable shadows (not recommended)_ r_teeth 0 // _removes teeth from player models_ r_waterforceexpensive 0 // _disables high-quality water_ rope_averagelight 0 // _disables average lighting on ropes_ rope_smooth 0 // _disables antialiasing on ropes_ rope_subdiv 0 rope_wind_dist 0 // _disables wind effects on ropes_ // _Set violence settings_ // _increases blood to help you see hits better_ violence_ablood 1 violence_agibs 1 violence_hblood 1 violence_hgibs 1 // _Set HUD and xhair settings_ // _adjusts HUD and xhair for easy viewing_ cl_crosshairalpha 999 // _bright crosshair_ cl_crosshairusealpha 1 // _enables adjustable crosshair brightness_ cl_c4progressbar 1 // _enables C4 progress bar_ cl_radaralpha 255 // _maximum radar brightness_ cl_radartype 1 // _enables solid radar_ hud_centerid 1 // _centers player IDs_ net_graph 3 // _enables net_graph 3--CAL required!_ net_graphpos 2 // _adjusts netgraph position-set between 1 and 3_ // _Set various settings_ budget_show_history 0 // _disables history graph_ cl_downloadfilter "nosounds" // _disables annoying sound downloads_ jpeg_quality 100 // _high quality screenshots_ mat_monitorgamma 1.6 // _maximum ingame brightness_ net_graph 3 // _enables net_graph 3--CAL required!_ net_graphpos 2 // _adjusts netgraph position-set between 1 and 3_ sv_forcepreload 1 // _forces preload to help increase performance_ clear echo "_casey's config loaded_" 4.) Setting Priorities THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE, AS ON SOME SYSTEMS IT CAN DESTABILIZE THINGS. * Launch CS:S. Wait for it to fully load. * hit ctrl+alt+del. * In the taskmanager window, hit the processes tab. * Find Steam. * Select it, right click it-> set priority-> below normal. * Close the Taskmanager, alt+tab back into game. 5.) In Game Settings THESE ARE THE EASIST TO EDIT, BUT BE SURE AFTER YOU SET THESE AND SUCCESSFULLY TEST THEM TO REMOVE THE DXLEVEL SWITCH FROM YOUR LAUNCH OPTIONS IF YOU HAVE ENABLED IT, OTHERWISE THEY WILL RESET. Video Qualities * Start CS:S. * Click Options Figure 3. * Make sure your screen resolution is set to a smaller size, like 640 x 480 or 800x 600 Figure 3. * Click advanced. make everything low or off, except leave the texture filtering to trilinear unless you have a graphics card older than 3 years, in which case you most likely need bilinear, and should really consider an inexpensive upgrade. Figure 3. * Apply. Sound Quality * Also, on some machines, certain soundcards, especially board integrated sound cards, rely too much on the cpu. Try setting your sound quality to medium or low. * ->Options->audio Fig.4 6.) Other Helpful Links * GotFrag Tweak * Whisper's Wiki -General Game FPS guide * Amadeus III's Configs * EMORAY'S Links Good luck to those with older machines, once again I hope this helps.
