Hi,
I just bought a CS:S account (includes DOD:S too :O) for 500k gold in a game called 'RuneScape'.
However, I always had problems when playing games that use DirectX. Usually, I solved this by adding -opengl in a shortcut. This would make the game run in OpenGL mode, which means = no problem. This does not work for CS:S, it still runs in D3D mode.
The problems I get when running a Direct X game:
- White/Black flashes of whole screen while playing.
- After a while the flashes get more often and worse.
- Then the game crashes, showing me the empty map back ground and causing sound loop, whereafter I am forced to reboot my computer.
- The flashing starts when I play, instantly. Takes about 15 mins before it crashes.
The -opengl command works for games such as Warcraft 3, Call of Duty, just not for CS:S or DOD:S or another HL2 engine game.
I have a "Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with AGPX8 graphics" card. Windows XP. My other specs do not involve this problem, so I won't bother posting them.
YES, I know that my specs are bad to play CS:S, I can play it with about 40-50 fps on Direct X 7 mode. I just want to rage.
Thanks in advance.
PS: No retarded replies please. :( I need serious help.
