dxlevel problem

FreaKen · 06-25-2007, 02:46 PM

What is going on with the server, I cant get on now because of this "zblock" thing keeps comming up. And its says "zblock - "mat_dxlevel". something along the lines as that.

You cannot use DirectX levels 7.0 or 8.0 with ZBlock in effect.

Add -dxlevel 81 to your command line and boot CSS. The video settings will be reset to default in a ZBlock-compliant fashion. Exit CSS and remove the -dxlevel switch and you should be ready to rock.

Ok cool thanks. Ill get back to you if any more problems come up.

In Counter-Strike Source - Properties, and under the tab local files. What does " Defragment Cache Files " do?

Exactly what it says on the tin. Defragments cache files. As far as I know they aren't vital anyway. Likely, it speeds up the launching of Steam apps because Steam, like Windows, is designed to slow down the whole show in the name of saving time by keeping old data you could just get again around.

Magna... why do you know so much?? I know a lot... and it pales in comparison to your knowledge.

Who are you?!

Magna, I'm pretty sure i did what you said and it didn't work. I went into the launch options i typed "-dxlevel 8.1" then exited. I tried going on the server and it kicked me again.

You did what you thought I said.

81, not 8.1.

FreaKen · 06-28-2007, 05:35 PM
