That's actually the Domination icon; AFAIK headshots are still the old 'bullet in the side of the head' icon

I had mistakenly took that as the headshot icon the first time, but it appears you are right. I'll modify the first post if I still can.

Used to play Counter Strike 1.2 (or was it 1.3) every single day for years, up to 1.6. Then only a bit with source. I kicked major butt, and knew every map like the back of my hand.

Since source I have not touched it. I kinda stopped playing multiplayer games in all. Not sure why. This new update might get me back into it.

Though I still think they are creating a new Counter Strike, probably to be released with Half Life 2 Episode 3, or Half Life 3, which ever you want it to be called lol

The steam settings are now only used for actual steam client updates. You need to use the link for it to work.

Well the Link didn't work before i changed it (kept asking me to login when i was already) as soon as i selected beta and steam restarted an ad for CSS beta appeared, then the link worked!

Well, it sucks.

The only difference is the effects motion blur brings and when the bomb blows up. Bomb looks sweet, but what the bad is, id rather stick to the old...

The bad... This new engine is doing what tf2 does to my system, bring it into the 20's for fps, even though im running a 8800gt... no matter what setting. This is because it is unoptimized really for single core, and I have yet to upgrade lol. Still sucks though if they push this threw. I wont be able to play it :(

  • 1 month later...

Well, if they didn't do anything else special than what was already in beta form, I can no longer play this game.... good going valve. made a completely playable game that ran 120fps+ now run 60fps normal and 20 in fights...... uninstalling a game that has been on my system longer than I think windows has lol. It is a sad day for this panda.

Hell, Call of Duty 4 gives me better FPS at max settings than this game now... and looks better. Valve needs to do some better optimization on this "engine" for single core procs.

Same, and steam crashed lmao

Yeah it did as well on my end, a couple times. After restarting and trying several download locations through the Settings menu I gave up and just let it hang. It's downloading now at around 18 kilobytes per second, which is excruciating because I'm quite curious to see the new and updated CS:S.

Idiots lets release it at peak time, all the old servers i play on you cant join and the new servers what little of them there are are laggy, get disconnects and timeouts, what a joke i really wanted to play some multigame tonight.

I feel ya. I wanted to play some gungame, but I guess that'll have to wait until I can actually download the game and the gungame mod gets updated, if it needs updating.

    • Couldn't a custom power plan help to park the non x3d ccd's? Then that would solve this latency/performance issues people are having with the x3d chips?
    • So is Ubuntu and Fedora (with GNOME). It's a welcome move and those that need X11 can easily install as pointed out in the article it but that won't stop a loud minority from whining of course. Funny but It will actually be easier to install X11 on Ubuntu then enable Flatpak support/Flathub and use them.
    • End of an era? Kubuntu is removing default support for X11 in new installs by David Uzondu X11, the old window system whose days have long felt numbered, just saw another one of its major supporters head for the exit. Kubuntu has decided to follow its parent distro's lead, making its next release, version 25.10, a Wayland-only affair for fresh installs. It seems many Linux developers see Wayland as the future. Just recently, Linux Mint started working to improve support for the protocol in Cinnamon, tackling lingering issues with keyboard layouts and input methods. You can even see the progress in KDE's development, where an upgrade to Wayland PiP is planned for KDE Plasma 6.5. So what's the logic behind dropping a session that, for the most part, still works? According to Kubuntu's Rik Mills, the team wants to "rip off this sticking plaster" now, in an interim release, rather than ###### off a lot of people by doing it in the next Long-Term Support version, 26.04. The developers feel that maintaining code for the aging X11 system holds back progress on security and new features that Wayland can enable more easily. Plus, supporting two separate display servers is a massive undertaking. Of course, this change might have some people worried, but relax; all is not lost if you still need the old session. If you're running hardware that acts up, like some older NVIDIA cards, or who relies on an ancient application that doesn't play nicely with the XWayland compatibility layer, you can still get your familiar session back. Just enter the following command in your terminal: sudo apt install plasma-session-x11 Once that command finishes, the X11 session will appear as an option on the login screen, so you can carry on as before. As OMGUbuntu notes, not everyone in the Ubuntu family is following its lead just yet. Other official flavors like Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Cinnamon are expected to keep offering an X11 session on their default installs for this cycle.
    • Mangohud hasn't been built into "Steam Deck", it has been built into SteamOS. I understand that your goal is to try and praise MS for a simple feature that everyone else has, but we are comparing OS vs OS. Hardware does not have anything "built-in". Software does. Like it or not, SteamOS has it "built-in". And it is far superior to XBOX game bar's information.
