Hi

have seen various fractured posts across steam detailing the same issue but no official response as yet.

The problem is this

At CT Spawn on Dust2 the game pretty much lags to a complete halt, ping goes thru the roof, framerate a few frames per second and sound all over the place. Thiis begins to happen at bombsite A just above spawn pretty much where the boxes are around the plant point.

Other ppl have reported similar issues with other maps. This has only began happening since the last Steam Update on Jan 17th 2005.

What strikes me with Dust2 is it was updated in the 17/1 patch to allow 40 players.

This seems to be across all gfx cards ie ati/nvidia, intel /amd mobos and various sound cards

My spec is
AMD 2600XP Barton
Asus AK79VN 400 Nforce2 Ultra
1gig DDR 400
6600GT @525/1150
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Win XP Pro

Have tried many things so far
fps_max 0
mat texture load thingy on or off
heapsize on or off
agp fastwrites turned on or off
deleted config and got new default config

Nothing helps and it suggests a geniune bug with CS:S.
