Anyone else get this DX bug?

[ummno]

I've got a 9600xt and 1.5ghz cpu, it runs dx9 at ~35fps but when I put dx7 on it runs much higher so I prefer that setting and it almost looks the same. But there is bug with the lights on nearly every map, anyone else get this?

 

[zex]

Whoa thats pretty wierd. Never seen that before.

I have the same problem, using dx7 path. Haven't been able to find a fix.

I'm about to use the report bug thing in the game, I was just wondering whether this was common.

 

[Calhoun]

It's a bug with sprites apparently.

I don't think It's a very common thing but It is a bug and bugs should be reported.

 

[Novotny]

I haven't seen any other reports, and ive been looking about - its bugging the hell out of me

Reminds me of that old Battlezone game for Atari... Those X-boxes (no pun intended) look like the projectiles in Battlezone.

did you use the submit bug tool?

 

[Novotny]

If i recall correctly you see them in worldcraft when placing lights - or something v similar

 

[ummno]

did you use the submit bug tool?

Yeah I just submitted the bug.

while in game, hit mat_dxlevel_81 to switch it back to 8.1 then put mat_dxlevel 70 again. Now it will go back to dx7 and the lights will be gone. You must do this every time you join a server as you long as you enter the server in 7.0 If you enter the server in 8 you can just change it back to 7. It gets annoying so I just leave it a 8. Talk about a 225% increase in dx7. What a joke.

Okay thanks I'll try this, its not that much of a big deal, but I don't want to be having to deal with this bug for years. (If valve doesn't know about this)

It's up to 225% increase, it doesn't mean everyone will get a 225% increase

:thumbs: Great you're trying to hide your hacks by saying it's a bug, HA! Funny guy...

No seriously though, CS:S still has quite a lot of bugs still.

Or you can add it to your config.cfg file and make it read-only.
