Make Counter-Strike: Source Look More Realistic!


Recommended Posts

Step-by-step:

1) Run Counter-Strike: Source

2) Click on Options and ensure you're on the Multiplayer tab (first one).

3) Click on the Advanced button and change your 'Multiplayer decal limit' to 4096.000000 (the maximum).

This will make the decals (blood splatters, bullet holes, sprays etc.) remain in the round 4 times longer than the default time. Works awesome in cs_office!

NOTE: Only do this if you're currently running the game at 50+ FPS average else your low FPS will only get worse as the round goes on.

So the fact that a construction crew comes and replaces all the crates, cabinets, and glass after each round doesn't take away from the realism factor for you? :p

Seriously, if my laptop was a little more powerful, I'd try this out. Cool trick!

congrats on 7k threetonesun

anyways, I have had this on 9999999 (or whatever it gets set to) for ages on my 9000 and I didnt notice any FPS drop

The engine lowers it to 4094, have a look.

ok but still, didn't touch my FPS

Well it's quadrupling the time decals stay on the map, so it will affect some players who's computers are dying on it as it is.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
