That's kind of odd...
Open your \cstrike directory, move your maps, models, and sound folders and your configs to another directory and then delete everything else from the cstrike folder. Move them all back and start up CS again. This should basically reinstall CS. Does this fix the problem at all?

Type hud_saytext_internal 1 in console. Does that help?

Nope, that didn't work either. Got anymore?

Well... I'd suggest relocating those same files mentioned above (which are files you'll probably like to keep) so that you can completely reinstall CS by deleting the cstrike folder and the cstrike.gcf file from your SteamApps folder. Once you do that, you'll have to start Steam and begin re-updating CS. Once that finishes, you'll want to try it out and see if the problem is gone. It'll probably take a while to re-download CS.
EDIT: first... does this happen in other mods, or only CS?

It only happens on certain servers, both CS and Dod, like pretty much 75% of the listed servers.

I would say completely reinstall Steam altogether...then again I have noticed you being somewhat decent with software...so I would have figured that you would have already tried this.
Resetting configurations are normally the easiest way to solve such problems..

I notice it happen right after the latest patch.
I did a search on google and found out i'm not the only one with the same problem:

Are the servers that this problem occurs on running mods like AMX?

You would think that with finding that you weren't the only one with a problem that you would have found a fix..if you find one please post the solution because I don't think I'm the only one lost here.

I could only find one other person in that Google search that had the same problem. I searched the Steam forums and couldn't find anything about it. I'd suggest that you go to the Steam Support forums to see if any of the gurus there can figure it out.
