Css Broken somehow?!

[Xhisorz]

Okay so i have some issues while playing CSS, I can't no matter what I do, I even re-installed the game, cannot see any sprays nor can I see player names when I look at them. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

I've re-installed CSS, deleted Cstrike folder and nothing yet have helped me.
So i really need someone who knows what their doing!!
Got Team Viewer!

Sounds like you just need to re-enable spray decals and set the interface to center player names. I had a similar issue with TF2 not displaying spray decals in game.

1. To center player names: Open CS:S. Click Options. Click the Multiplayer tab. Click Advanced. Check the box that says "Center player names." Click OK. Click Apply.

2. To allow spray decals: Click Options -> Multiplayer tab. Import a spray of your choice and click apply. Now click the drop-down menu on the right of the Multiplayer tab that says "Allow all custom content from servers." Click Apply.

I suggest starting a LAN game with some bots and test your spray and make sure the names of the bots are centered over your crosshair. Then try joining a server and perform the same tests. You should be able to see your spray and other's sprays. However, there is a cvar that disables the user of spray decals so it may well be that you played on a server that doesn't allow sprays. Let me know if you have any luck!

Nope, no luck nothing works everything was enabled of what you were saying.. :s

 

[Ph?bus]

verify the cache?
update video drivers?

 

[Xhisorz]

Ill try

Okay so i think i found the issue, whenever i delete my config.cfg file it restores to what it was before i deleted it, and also when i change the inside of it and replace it with the default which i found here. It just keeps resetting, so does anyone know how to fix this..?

My current cfg if it's needed;

*Edit* I think atleast i know what caused this problem, i used a Movie making Cfg and ofc it has changed all the settings...

Your config.cfg is essential to the game running, so if you delete it, CS:S will create a new, default config.cfg file with all the default settings (bindings, mouse sensitivity, etc.) for you. You could try just deleting the config.cfg file then starting CS:S and try your luck that way. If you have any additional settings, like rates or cl_minmodels, that are not stored in the config.cfg, you can make (or edit, if you already have one) an autoexec.cfg that will execute every time the config.cfg is run. You just have to add a short line of code at the end of the config.cfg that says "exec autoexec.cfg" with the quotes. Keep trying different solutions, and google around a bit. As smart (and good looking) as I am, I do not possess the power of a good google search!

I have already deleted my config.cfg file and everytime it restores to what it was before i deleted it, which is a broken config.cfg and i don't know why it changes back to it..

That's really bizarre, it shouldn't be restoring a config that has been deleted, it's supposed to generate a default config. Do you have some kind of third-party application installed on your computer that you used for making CS movies? If something like that knows the directory of your cstrike folder it could be injecting a new config every time you delete it. You said in the OP that you've reinstalled CS entirely and in that case I really don't have any idea why a fresh install would STILL generate a corrupted config, unless in the case of some weird third party application as stated above.

I'm out on this one -- Google's your best bet now!

I am gonna look whole my computer through... I even.. i even just Re-installed steam just now to be 100% Sure.. But no, it just recreated the config.cfg file..
It must be something that gerenerates it..

 

[Fiddlehead]

Couldn't someone upload and send you their config.cfg file?

 

[Xhisorz]

The problem is that it keeps restoring to what it was before even when i edit it.. :s

 

[a pet rock]

What it sounds like is Steam Cloud is updating it. Something happened and the code for sprays and names got broken and then it all saved in the Steam Cloud. The reason the Cloud is there is so all your profile information and preferences can be saved regardless of which computer you log in to.

Instead of just deleting your config.cfg, I would try editing it and saving it. Find the decal command and the name command listed earlier and double check them to make sure they're right. If that doesn't work, put it into your autoexec.cfg. That should load after your config.cfg and will over-write the errors there.

Aha I totally forgot about Steam Cloud. I was on the right track about a third party restoring the config but Steam Cloud didn't even cross my mind! It makes perfect sense - follow this dude's lead!

Couldn't I just disable steam cloud? Causa I never log on my user anywhere than my own comp.

You can disable it in the settings/downloads+cloud and unchecking Steam Cloud.

I wouldn't recommend it, because the idea seems genius to those who fear files being lost/restore a lot.

 

[a pet rock]

I'm pretty sure that TF2 needs the Steam Cloud because it's what keeps track of your backpack. Not that that's a necessity. I'm not sure if CS:S has a similar situation or not.

CS:S and TF2 would be fine. In TF2 your backpack would just be empty (not forever of course). Even MW2 actually saves your saved games/rank on your HDD, so Steam Cloud is just there in-case those files are lost.

Okay thank you, i don't play mw2 anymore and i only play TF2 rather rare, so i guess its good! I'll see to if it works and report back.
