bpower posted:I do run a lot. If someone starts screaming "B B B B B", which can mean anything from "I think I heard a foot step" to "5 with bomb", I just run to B. I should make my way there carefully and only run if Im sure it's safe, thats the real solution to my problem, yeah? gently caress all the the "omg why so slow" comments? Just have to keep your teammates positions in your head and make reasonable guesses based on their actions/deaths/picks. If you see your mid get picked and hear smokes popping, you can probably expect a lot of heat there. If you see he pushed up into lower you're probably safe but should always check double just to be safe. If you see your cat AND mid pushing and still alive but your B man is down you know you can run with your knife out until you can see b entrance. This is why there's a point where it's pretty difficult to advance in skill without having a consistent team that you always play with. You hit a point where you not only have to be really comfortable with your own skills but be able to KNOW with certainty how everyone on your team will react to different situations. By having that you can make much more sophisticated and effective plays.

Sigmund posted:So when I play MM solo, I have an issue where most of the games I win, I will be at the bottom on the scoreboard. And most of the games i lose, I am at the top of the scoreboard. Now that everything is relatively stable again in my life I'm going to start a weekly twitch stream where I view demos and provide general instruction. If you're up for the heat send me a demo of one of your MM matches and I'll use it. I'm thinking of doing it on Sunday afternoons for anyone who'd like to watch it live. It shouldn't matter too much though as I'll be trimming the streams and hosting them afterwards as well. edit: In the future I'll also review high-level demos or maybe even pro matches so that newer/lower ranked players can see what they should be working towards.

Yeah I'm guessing the report system has largely worked because most non-goons I match up with are pretty good nowadays. I feel like there's a chance people who are regularly reported for non-bannable stuff are just corralled into matches with others like them.

Xenaero posted:Black Gold is easy to play. The layout isn't clearly marked is its only issue, but it being wide open makes it as hard/easy to take areas as Nuke's outside area. You have to check corners in every map no matter what side you're on, so I don't understand that argument. I'm sorry you're not handfed map layouts that you're already used to. Every wide open map punishes you if you blindly push. I think it's pretty disgusting that you can safely rushdown most of the common maps' angles without much opposition. The problem is the visual noise in tandem with the CTs having a tons of options for angles to hold that they can swap around in without exposing themselves. Any time you peek as a T you have a small chance of actually peeking the correct angle. Combine this with the fast swaps CTs can do and it becomes a real shitshow really fast. Smokes are rarely affective as the CTs can quickly grab another angle. Any time you push a site you can be surrounded / in a crossfire within mere seconds. It's like the entire map is made out of nuke's upper A site, which makes sense because every game I've played so far has gone at least 12-3 each half towards the CT team. Your only shot at winning the map should not come down to who wins t-side pistol. I M O

Release Notes for 7/23/2014 [UI] - safezonex's min value can now go as low as 0.28 with triple monitor setups and will allow a min value of 0.475 with double monitor setups. - Added convar sv_server_graphic which allows the server to specify a 360x60 px image file (must be 16k or smaller) in /csgo/ that will display in the spectator view. Supports PNG transparency. - when the scoreboard is up, the radar will now switch to the square "overview" mode (disable with cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard, or in the Game Settings menu). [MISC] - Fixed a crash on round end/restart or player spawn if a player was parented to another entity that was cleaned up. - Increased session communication buffer size to allow for up to 64-player sessions. - Added experimental cpu_frequency_monitoring convar to detect thermal throttling. If you have CS:GO performance problems on Windows, add "+cpu_frequency_monitoring 2" to the CS:GO command line to see if CPU thermal throttling is an issue. If the displayed CPU frequency percentage drops below about 80-85% then you may have a problem with your CPU slowing down due to overheating. If it drops below 50-55% then you may have a serious problem. CPU overheating can be caused by overclocking, insufficient cooling, insufficient airflow, failing or dirty fans, or other causes. The CPU frequency results are displayed with cl_showfps or net_graph. For more detail see https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2715-YIPD-6873 - Added engine_no_focus_sleep convar (default value 50 milliseconds), which controls the amount of time the engine sleeps per frame when the game is not in focus. - Fixed incorrect material property on some breakable doors and scaffold models [SDK] - Added a few more location "Place Names" for use by level designers [CACHE] - Added solidity to gates in b halls and ct garage to allow for nade creativity. - Improved readability in B heaven. - Improved readability by quad. - Improved lighting by forklift. - Improved prop-consistency by quad by adding more rigid edges. - Increased visibility in vent. - Fixed missing texture issues. - Fixed various lighting issues. - Fixed texture translation issues. - Added clipping to prevent an exploit boost. - Slightly increased vent lighting. - Minor but important change to shadowing in some rooms. [INSERTION] - Added fences/fallen trees/cliffs around the map to reduce the ammount of invisible walls. - Added a small window above the backdoor in the barn. - Added a big rock next to "SeaRock". - Minor gameplay tweaks. - Optimized the villa (thanks to Glitchvid).

down with slavery posted:Thanks for the Wikipedia article there champ http://www.hltv.org/forum/460082-fps-in-csgo-cpu-vs-gpu Valve has also come out several times saying that the CPU will be the bottleneck for any games on the source engine. Keep in mind that they put a massive effort into multi-threading the source engine back in the HL2 days rather than upgrading their rendering engine. augustob posted:Why CS:GO would be CPU-bound is beyond me. Skyrim was a CPU-bound game because it had all sorts of AI going on, but the bot-like creatures running around in dust2 are 100% human controlled. Anyways I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is that their physics engine is still calculated on the CPU which is really really expensive computationally-wise. That and the measurements for player movement/actions is much more precise compared to other FPS games, also expensive. Necc0 fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jul 24, 2014 |

down with slavery posted:no no no no no aren't you a computer science major...? mindless spitballing like this is how these stupid rumors get started. I eagerly await the next relevant google result you find for "counter-strike fps cpu"  They built the foundation over a decade ago and I've seen no evidence that they've switched their physics rendering over. Also no one is saying that the source engine is better or worse it's just that they put much more emphasis on things that require CPU processing, resulting in the game being much more sensitive to CPU performance rather than GPU.Which is why they're adding console commands to monitor the CPU. Which is why we're talking about this. (???) Have you not read any of their synopsis on those hardware surveys they do? There's a reason for all of this.

Skeleton King posted:I haven't played GO for a few months now and when I come back my rank is gone. I was Master Guardian II, but I played only one game yesterday and it ranked me to Master Guardian Elite. I guess what my question is once the ranking system 'removes' your rank does it place you with players at the skill level you were playing at but only calculate what rank you'll get based on that new, singulat game or was I already close to ranking up anyway and it just calculated based on history as usual and my rank was just invisible for no real reason? You were already close anyways. My personal theory for why they 'expire' your rank is due to some people dropping out of MM completely when they play on private servers (goonmen) or join something like ESEA. When you do that there's a chance you'll be significantly better so may as well hide your rank for a little bit just to avoid frustrating other players as your old rank is no longer accurate.
