Disabling Flickering Prodigy Light?

[SimonomiS]

Is there any way to disable that flickering light in CT Spawn in Prodigy? I know Cliffe said they were working on optimizing it, but theres been nothing recently. It really drags down my fps, making it impossible to do anything in CT Spawn. Anyone else having this problem or do you all have uber high spec comps? :dozey:

 

[noQ]

yeah it is making me lag too ,even if I am there alone.

 

[Exclamatio]

what spec is ur comp

just out of interest

 

[noQ]

p4 2ghz,512 sdram,geforce mx440(models and textures on medium,shadows and shaders on low,1280x1024)

 

[SimonomiS]

AMD Athlon 1.8Ghz, 736mb RAM, GeForce4 MX440-SE. Pretty close to yours samo.

 

[Exclamatio]

both of u itll be ur gfx card

upgrade it seriously guys

 

[SimonomiS]

Yea, because I have endless amounts of money to spend on graphics cards at 15. Im sure there was cl_dynamiclighting 0 or something for Half Life, nothing similar for CS:S?

Geforece 4 MX/SE cards are budget cards. Meant for offices and computer work. They are definetly not meant for playing high detailed games like Half-Life 2 and CounterStrike: Source. A GeForce 2 or 3 would get better FPS than one of those.

get a paper round thats how i got money at ur age

Yeah, I got a job last year when I was 15 and have been working for 6 months and bought myself a $1,700 computer.
But I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to turn it off yet. There was a post in the Steam forums abouta kid who has epilepsy and had an epileptic seizure because of the flashing light.

 

[Deemo]

that post was hilarious. especially cuz like all the people who agreed with him proved to be himself

Why should your age affect the matter unless you're like 10 and under? I had a job at 15.. i had a friggen paper route at 10.. get working.

Don't do a paper round. Unless they pay you daft amounts of money. I work at a petrol station cleaning toilets and stocking shelves and stuff. That kinda thing pays ok enough. 3 nights a week, 3 and a half hrs per night.

something about cleaning toilets that isnt for me lol


the paper round i had was cool enough, about 900 papers a week could do it in 1 night took about 1.5-3 hours depending how fast i walked, the weather and any extra leaflets i had

it paid about £30 so id say that was good earning

boring as **** though

 

[SimonomiS]

Well, this is all nice financial advice, but its slightly off-topic and I cant get a paper round for reasons Id rather not discuss. So since no-ones said anything about it, I guess theres no way to disable the light, other then get a better graphics card?

 

[Dublo7]

apparently people have been getting seizures from it

You delivered 900 papers per week and only made £30? I delivered 30 papers for 6 days (180) per week and made over $40. Sounds like they were ripping you off a bit, my route took like 20min per day.

i have a 6800GT OC, 3400+, and 1GB Corsair XMS and i get severe lag not only in the CT spawn in prodigy, but also in one area of ravenholm where the same effect is used. there is a guy who is getting electricuted on a fence. that part lags for me.

i try to stay away from prodigy, and if i cant, at least the ct spawn.

i'm using 66.93 drivers. no betas for me. i hope valve puts out a patch for this or something. it really is getting annoying.

 

[CyberPitz]

I have this problem, but i have a p4 2.8 OCed to 3.....and a 9600XT. But I'm 99% sure its my RAM 512 meg of PC2100...yeah...

 

[ralfyboy]

wow. i dont know how i fixed it, but i did. i was playing prodigy, and it didnt lag in the ct spawn. that's wierd. now i gotta try that spot in ravenholm, and see if that lags. maybe it was a steam update.

 

[PanCake]

i always got 10+ fps in CT spawn...
its really really horrible :\

 

[UFD|Capa]

I have Rad 9800 Pro
Amp Xp 2800+ Barton
1Gb mem.

I have this same problem at CT Spawn on Prodigy. My whole clan are having to avoid matches on Prodigy because of my unwillingness to play on it for this one reason. Has there been a fix found for this yet?
