Css Fps Problem

[reuip]

The game used to run fine, but recently I've been experiencing horrible lag. Since I still run at a reasonable ping on most servers, I figured I'd pull up my FPS.

My FPS around 30 when really only one or two people are near me and no action is going on.
Any shooting, explosions, or crowds of people bring it to 10 instantly.

I don't know what to do. I've dropped all of my settings down to low. My graphics card is a Geforce FX Go5700. I wasn't sure if it could be the fact that I am on a laptop or even that my laptop is widescreen but if anyone has run into a similar problem or has any advice i'd greatly appreciate it. :dozey:

Have you played on the laptop before fine without any problems? Also have you updated your graphics card drivers recently? They can do you more harm than good sometimes, and rolling back to older drivers could solve your problems.

You're not running on the lowest graphics. If you want try typing mat_picmip 3 or mat_picmip 4 - those are the worst graphics (Highest FPS) available .

By the way, if it was running fine before the update, try typing cl_maxmodels 1 (Or something like that - Autocomplete should come up). It could be the fact you're loading 4 models into RAM now, so turning it off might increase FPS.
