Yeah, have you checked if it's the same?
After all, the CSS bot is basically the same as the CZ one, it's just a bit improved.
I believe they use the same code or whatever, and should therefore also use the same commands ingame.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (PC Release) - WW2 games need to be more story driven rather than the over the top American killfest that is Call of Duty. Looking forward to this a lot having loved the previous games.
If you loved the old games you will shit your pants when you play this one, thats for sure.
It's awesome. And I wasn't very fond of the older games, I thought they were a bit too repetitive, but the new squad types compensates the repetitivnes.

Games I've been looking forward to this year:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky - Bought it, and it was awesome
Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway - Bought it, and it was awesome
Red Alert 3 - Pre booked
Call of Duty 5 - I WANT IT but I don't have the money
Left 4 Dead - Pre booked
Dead Space - Do want! I love horror games.
F.E.A.R. 2 - Do want! I love horror games.
Far Cry 2 - Money plox

in Lag issues Post #256976
What card is it, cow?
It's an NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS.
Mine is 60 ?C idle, and don't goes up to 70 when full load. Nothing dangerous. Well I can set fan speeds so temperatures doesn't really matter to me
That depends on what graphic card it is. Mine could apparently not stand such treatment, while others might, I don't know.
Games works fine now tho, so it was obviously a problem. ;>

in Lag issues Post #256958
I ran a small test with nTune but I didn't get a result that pointed at overheating, but I didn't have time to make a long one so it's probably because of that.

I pulled out the GPU and wow was it dusty.
Shitty thing is it has this plastic cartridge around it so I need to blow out the dust using compressed air. I'll fix it later today.

Right now I have a Temperature of 57 Celsius and I just started it up :/

If it wasn't for you I would never have guessed, and I would probably have ended up with a burned GPU again.
Thanks :>

Edit:
Cleaned the GPU and I am no longer getting any lag.
Just played Ep 2 for about 20 minutes and the temperature didn't go any higher than 48 Celsius, and best of all, not only a little lag.

Thanks a lot Luke :)

in Lag issues Post #256936
I've been experiencing massive lag issues lately.
I can't really remember doing or installing anything which caused it to be like this, but anyways..
I play a game, for maybe 5 or 10 minutes, and then I get this big lagspike, and the game becomes totally unplayable. Then it stops and works fine again, and here comes the weird part, the next lagspike shows up after only like a minute or something with just as much magnitude, and then these lagspikes keeps on coming every minute or 30 seconds..

Notice that this doesn't only happen to online games, but to single player games aswell.

This only happens to sexy games like all of the games which uses the orange box engine, COD4, and STALKER.
It doesn't happen when I play older games like Zero Hour or CS: Source.
I know that somewhere around the time when this started I installed Norman AV, but I always turn On-Access scanner off while playing games, and that should shut down all Norman activity right?
Please tell me if you have any similar experiences with Norman AV.

EDIT: I just uninstalled it and I still get the spikes, so that ain't it

I took these two screen shots of the net_graph while playing Half-life 2 Episode 2:

Without lag:
User posted image
WITH lag
User posted image
I marked the obvious changes with red
These numbers might not have any value at all but I have no idea what any of them mean except FPS, but I decided to show them anyways ;P
(Notice that the LERP thingy turns yellow when it starts to lag, don't know what that means, but it looked important D: )

Any help is appreciated, I miss playing TF2 :<

WC: I've heard they got an even more exact age of the universe.
I read it in a science magazine about a year ago, where they said recent observations shows that it is 18 billion years old.
Would you happen to know anything about that because I haven't find anything that confirms it.
NASA's website states that it is around 13.7 billion years old. I thought they used to believe it was 14.7?
What a mess.

Dude, there are no such things as aliens flying over earth just for the lulz of it. If they can build space crafts with the tech to fly several light years then really they should be smart enough to realize that just doing a close random flyby isn't really a very good idea.
I mean, really, what's the point of just flying around inside of our airspace?
And why be so discrete? And don't give me that "OH IT'S BECAUSE THEY SEE ALL OF OUR WARS AND THEY ARE AFRAID THAT WE WILL HARM THEM" bullshit because really..

And if they did want to be discrete and pick up some cow in some field to preform tests on then what the hell's with the HUGE LIGHTS WITH DIFFERENT COLORS FLASHING AND SWITCHING while flying above populated areas?
Doesn't sound that intelligent to me.

I've heard that we have created micro black holes before, and that they decay faster than a millisecond efter being created.
If that's true then they really don't pose a threat to mankind.

There are however other theories of what might happen if something would go wrong. Can't remember them tho, but the chances are, as said earlier, very small. And even if something does go wrong it will happen so fast we won't notice it anyways.
lololol we're all gonna die

in Error: Bad surface extents - help Post #255005
Bad Surface Extents

This is typically caused by having extremely large scales on faces, (typically "stretching" far above 10, usually 100+). Otherwise it almost always shows up on a 'check for problems' in Worldcraft as a 'texture axis perpendicular to face' error.
If you are using a newer version of Zoner's compile tools, the name of the texture, what # brush/# entity is involved, the coordinates of the problem face, and the amount of scaling should all be listed to make it easier to find and fix.

If the numbers given include a 0, such as 16345/0, it often (but not always) means the texture has gone perpendicular to the face. This usually is a result of rotating the brush, clipping, carving, hollowing or vertex manipulation, remember where you did that and you may find it faster.
If it is numbers like 3456/2 or 3/532 then it usually means a stretching texture problem. These often come from "fitting" a texture to a brush, especially thin brushes like signs or doors. Then a texture may get shrunk too far also, so do not go below 0.1 for scale or over 10 for scale, either causes frequent problems.
If the editor cannot find it for you, using the Big block elimination method or the cordon tool may be you best bet to figuring this out, unless you want to start ripping your level apart....


Source: http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#badsurface

So apparently you have an overscaled texture somewhere in your map.
It might show up in "Map > Check for problems", try that, or use the coordinates provided in the compile log to locate it.
