CS:S issue

[P3rg3]

Oh hai.

 

I've been having some problems with my CS:S.

I will keep it short.

 

While playing the FPS drops significantly.

I'm talking +/- 9 fps.

What can I do?

 

Changing resolution doesn't help.

It used to run fine on my laptop, this has been a problem for the last few weeks.

 

• Formatted the laptop last week
  
• Disabled quite a few services which could slow it down.
  
• Obviously no viruses/spyware
  
• Installed latest graphic driver

As it's a laptop, immediately suspect cooling issues. How hot is it getting?

Will get back to you, my laptop just died so I'll bump this when it's happening again.

rarely will anything you dont notice in the day to day actually affect game performance that negatively. not saying it can't, but its very rare. (in reference to the post above me)

Have you tried to defrag the game? Or even the hardrive?

If your fps is starting off at around normal and then drops down to 9 fps (css wont say anything else lower than about 9 fps) it is almost guaranteed to be a heating issue. If possible disassembles your laptop and dust the fuck out of it. Or take a can of compressed air and go crazy....

[*]Installed latest graphic driver

 

 

Well some cards can mess up games for example my computer use to run half life 1 perfectly, but now when i play it on my new card it lags up a storm. So my suggetion is that find a solution for your graphics driver.

And indeed it was.

Don't know how it was possible, but there was dust everywhere.

It's been cleaned out by the official Acer repair people 2/3 months ago.

Guess they did a great job.

 

Thanks everyone, this can now be locked.
