Counter-Strike

So you wanna tweak your cs for the maximum performance?
Then this is the right place to look! This is a complete guide
how to gain maximum fps in Counter-Strike 1.6. Follow it, and you WILL feel
the difference.

Okay, first we're gonna take a look at your hardware configuration.
To gain many fps it's important to have the newest, or at least, the
best drivers installed. But how do you find out if your computer has
the newest drivers? Think. Have you recently installed any drivers?
If yes, you probably have the newest, thats fine.
If no, you should probably consider updating your drivers.

How to install the newest drivers
What you should update are:

1. Videocard driver
2. Chipset drivers

To install the videocard driver find out who the developer of your
card is. You should know this, if not, find out (i wont describe it here).
You probably have either nvidia or ATI. But it's important to know
when trying to update. You can always find the newest official drivers on the
developers homepage. Do so and your'e on for the next step.

Chipset drivers can be found on the developer of your mainboard's site.
Find out what mainboard you have and update these drivers (if you can):

1. AGP drivers
2. IDE drivers
3. Bios (complicated, but can gain a lot of fps, find info on developers site)
4. Drivers recommended by your developer


When you have updated all the drivers you are ready for the next step.
NB: It's okay if you did not install all the drivers but its recommended though.

Configurating your Videocard
There is a bunch of things you should disable in your driver. The things you
should disable are:

1. Anti-aliasing should be turned off.
2. Anisotropic-Filtering should be turned off.
3. Image settings should be set at "High Performace"*
4. Vertical Sync should be turned off.
5. Adjust the refresh rates so they run as high as your monitor supports*

* Featured in Nvidia detonator drivers.

There have been rumors (in various tweak guides) that 32bit colors
decreases your fps. Those are falls, it doesen't matter. I've personally
done several tests and the outcome was: no difference between 32 and 16bit

Configurating counter-strike
First of all, i would recommend you run the game in 640x480, looks worse
than higher resolutions, but your fps will be higher.

Further on to your config.cfg.
There are settings in counterstrike which lower your fps, you can deactivate
these features. To gain a higher fps and still maintaining a acceptable level
of details you should add the following commands to your config.cfg(found in your
cstrike folder, open it with notepad and add the commands:

cl_weather "0"
fps_max "100"
r_dynamic "1"
r_novis "0"
r_traceglow "1"
r_wateralpha "1"
r_mirroralpha "0"
r_bmodelhighfrac "5.0"
r_lightmap "0"
gl_max_size "256"
precache "1"
mp_decals "20"
gl_affinemodels "0"
gl_alphamin "0.25"
gl_clear "0"
gl_dither "1"
gl_flipmatrix "0"
gl_flashblend "0"
gl_lightholes "0"
cl_showfps "1"

After you've added these commands you should install high fps player models
you can find them here.
The internet tweak commands should be:

cl_cmdrate "100"
cl_updaterate "80"
rate 20000
ex_interp 0 (the server will correct the real value)

Valve Old OpenGL driver fix
One of the reasons, that cs 1.6 runs is sucking more fps than it's follower
is that valve is using an old OpenGL driver. You should definitely fix this
To fix this 'bug', go to your windows\system32 dir, and copy:

nvoglnt.dll - If you're using an Nvidia driver.
atioglxx.dll - If you're using an ATI driver.
opengl32.dll - If you're using another driver.

Copy the file to the SteamApps\your@email.com\counter-strike\gldrv directory.
Now change the text in the file "drvmap.txt" so the text will be:

Default Default
gldrv/YOURFILENAME.dll OpenGL Driver

Now put write protection on the drvmap.txt file, otherwise steam will change it.

This should be all.
Happy tweaking
