Counter-Strike: Source problems

[Guest]

I've been playing CSS for about a year now, and for a the past month I've had this problem.

On de_dust, de_dust2 and cs_italy I get missing textures that I can see though. Plus cs_italy sometimes lags loads taking me down to 15fps :s.

Here are some screen shots:

Sometimes I can't even see my enemies-only their gun flares.

Delete your local game content and re-download it.

Ha that's weird. But yeah definitely delete all your game content and get that re-installed.

Yeah, forgot to mention. Tried re-downloading game data but that didn't help and later I had to reformat but that didn't help either.

have you try updating your graphic card driver?

or try playing on another computer?

I had this issue and it turned out to be one of my RAM modules. However it was doing it in all direct X 9 games (Need for speed most wanted, painkiller) but not Open GL games (Doom 3, Quake 4) Weird.

Also of note: It only happened in games Than filled the RAM up and pushed my computer a bit, have you got any other games that push your hardware and give you the same issues?. If not then obviously is is an issue within Steam based games. Next question would then be, does is happen in other source based games (HL 2, HL 2: Deathmatch etc..)

A similar thing happened to my Radeon 9800XT Counter-Strike Edition; the fan had stopped working without my knowing and therefore the core suffered heat damage. I sent it back to ATi for a replacement, however my replacement card has started to act up in the same sort of way. Check your graphics card for any kind of damage, or even if there is a cable touching one of the pins, also clean it of any dust.

I've only ever seen this happen in dust maps and cs_italy and no where else, I have no other graphically demanding games (appart from doom3 which is ok).

My card does suffer from over heating every now and then but no harm gets done it seems. I have a fan which slots into a spare PCI slot and blows air at the GPU heatsink which helps. Though 1 of the two fans decided to die and I bought it 2nd hand from eBay.

maybe it is the map was incompletely downloaded. try going to some sites and download the map over. Steam usually doesn't finish downloading what it need to but will still let you play. Doing that fix the problem to mine with few maps.

do you know where I can download the maps from? could I delete the maps then join a server and download it from there?

You can try deleting the map and going into the server for it to redownload the map. Most servers change the current map around and so require you to download their map. Also, you can try fpsbanana.com or Google the map with .zip or .rar at the end. I found the link on Google:

For best help, I would recommend the Steam forums.

I'll download the maps again and see if that helps, I also updated my video drivers.

thanks for all of your help :)
