White Boxes In DX_7 mode.

[Drackard]

Hey Guys, I recently changed my graphics settings from DX_9 to DX_7 so that i got a big fps boost which i did, however, now on most maps i am seeing white boxes with crosses in them in things like the lights in the tunnel on De_Dust or Aztec, can somebody help me with this please ?

why would u ever have to do that if its default dx9 it wonts really help unless u have to put it in dx7

 

[Drackard]

I do it simply for the smoother gameplay, the thing is it's not just me that has experienced this problem, surely there is a way to sort it ??

 

[giant384]

whats your system specs?

Try Dx8.1, 7 is just stupid. What card do you have?

System Specs:

2.5 ghz CPU
768mb DDR RAM
ATI 9600SE 128mb


Its reccommended is DX9 all on high which is what i usually play it on, but i get such a bad fps on it that it is becoming unplayable, when i put it on DX7 my fps is constantly in green so its going smooth, if i could get rid of the white boxes though i'd be fine, if not i'll have to stick to DX9 and just buy a new card or something.

remove

mat_dxlevel 70

from your config and add

-dxlevel 70

to the command line or launch options.

Hmm, i just booted up CSS before i did that to the config, changed them back from DX9 to DX7 again and it is fine .... Odd :|

Nope i lie just went back on and its doing it again... hmm ill try that config thing then.

Hmm, i just tried the -dxlevel 70 both with and without the - but it says unknown command ???

y dont u jsut do -dxlevel 80 u dont need to go all the way to 7

 

[Drackard]

80 doesn't go as smooth as 7, doesnt matter anymore though, they aint appearing, and i put the resolution on 1024 x 768 and AA on X4 with graphics all on high for DX7 and it runs better then what it does on DX9, 10X better, i mean, if i could get commands that dont affect graphics that much yet increase fps a lot then i would use DX9 or even 8 but all the commands i've seen decrease the graphics horribly.

let's try reading that again and focus on the bold parts.

Yeah sorry only just realised that, i've put it back to Direct X9.0 atm as that is it's default with High graphics, do any of ya know a good site to get commands to increase fps ??
