Counter Strike Source and Boot Camp

Does CSS work well on a MacBook (white) with boot camp, windows SP2 and 1Gb of memory?

Boot Camp is no different than running Windows on any other PC, so if the MacBook meets the system requirements dictated by CSS, then it should run fine.
Why not ask in the Boot Camp discussions for user experiences?

SB Xtreme Music and Counter-strike Source He

Hello,
I have a sound blaster xtreme music and I play the game counter-strike source. I have having a problem with the surround sound. I can hear everything around me except behind me when I play. Ive tried everything to get it but I just cant figure? it out. Can some help me!

I do not have other games, only CSS - well the valve games i bought.
When I am in Ventrilo, the others hear me with the audio creation, I can change the effects and they hear it. Although, in counter strike, it makes no change to my audio- my audio just sounds normal, so I thought the diagnostic from SB would show me something. The above error might be the reason, but I do not know what that actually means.
Thanks

Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering.

I have concluded this is caused by creatives driver by disabling the card in device manager the shuttering is gone. Is there a work in progress for this or some kind of work around until it is fixed?

Re: Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering. Found a simple work around until someone can fix this, found this over in the sevenforums.com
Hi there, I've recently had an extremely annoying issue regarding sound, games, multiplayer, and Windows 7. When I would start up a game (such as Counter-Strike Source or Heroes of Newerth) and connect to server, my fps and ping would be nominally ok, but the game would lag. In HoN this would be displayed by the heroes moving jerkily around the map, even though my fps and ping were good. In Counter Strike, this evidenced itself by glitchy nades that don't bounce smoothly, and whenever sounds are played, the ping spikes a bit. It's kind of like playing on a 33 tic server, for those of you familiar with the game. None of these issues occurred in single player games or in the aforementioned games with a local server.
Anyway, I searched and searched here and couldn't find anything, but finally I found something in Google:
Stop and disable the "Multimedia Class Scheduler" service<
Run regedit and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Audiosrv"<
Double click on the entry "DependOnService" and delete the line with "MMCSS" from the text box<
Reboot and enjoy lag free games<
This fixes issues with Realtek '97 (my motherboard uses nforce 4 chipset), and I'm guessing it will also fix issues with Creative Audigy 2 ZS, which I also have installed at the moment, but haven't tested.
I diagnosed the issue by realizing that by disabling audio devices in device manager, lag would disappear in-game. So glad I found this solution after installing 6 different audio drivers and generally being very frustrated. Just thought I'd leave this here as a reference for others with a similar issue.
Original solution by Mirkon. Thanks!

Counter Strike Source

hi recently i try this Game Counter Strike Source by using boot camp on Window XP, but i'm having some problem when loading there is black screen... does anyone know this problem.. is there any way to solve please help thanks...

You can run CS Source through boot camp and it works fine. I don't have it on my own computer, but I know because of the hardware in the MacBook. I've played on a PC that has similiar configs, possibly even lower.
Hit me up ... I'm Stankoniaexp90 on various servers. I liked the P00p server a lot though lol.

Having some troubles while playing Counter Strike: Source

Hi guys,
Currently I'm using the Macbook Pro 13.3" 2nd version ( 2.9GHz, etc.). It's from Mid 2012 I believe. Anyway, I got it for passing my finals, so I've got it for less than a month now. And the thing is, I'm not really satisfied with the way it works. Please note that I'm not talking about the operating system. I feel that the performance is pretty poor, the battery dies on me really quick and it gets extremely hot. Not warm, but HOT. I could fry an egg on the bottom of my laptop.
I would expect something that costs so much, to work perfectly.
My apologies, I'm going off topic.
Whilest playing Counter Strike: Source, which should work perfectly fine on a MacBook Pro, I've noticed a rather poor performance. It shocks a lot. It's not "lag", because I have it on all the servers, even where my internet connection is around the 15 ( which is really good, the lower the better).
This is my very first laptop so I'm not sure what to do and how to use one properly. If all these symptoms are considered normal, then I would like to apologize in advance.
Kind regards,
Patrick

After several more tests I’ve arrived at a solution.
There seems to be a random element in Boot Camp’s installation process that creates an IRQ resource conflict in Windows. The BSOD I was getting indicated that “IRQL not less than or equal to” and a BCM.sys file was responsible for the conflict. This file is related to the Broadcom Ethernet driver.
Reverting back to Boot Camp 2.1 actually made Counter Strike crash even sooner, but suggested to me that Boot Camp drivers were responsible. I performed a complete uninstall and reinstalled to Boot Camp 3.0. Hours of game play later and no crashes or BSOD.
If a complete uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix it for you the first time, try it again. I think it just has to “randomly” assign the IRQ correctly. Manually assigning the IRQ probably won’t work as Windows apparently cannot detect the conflicts until it fails.
Direct X 10 is not responsible for the problem. I tested this by running CSS in 9.0c mode via an advanced start command and it still crashed. Oh, and I also discovered that Direct X 10 is integrated into Vista and cannot be uninstalled or rolled back.

Counter-Strike: Source Server Lag

I was running Debian Sarge (64bit), and a few Counter-Strike Source servers, I had no problem at all and they was running smooth.
Recently I installed Arch (i686) on the server and the CSS servers are laggy, while playing you get frequent lag spikes...
$ uname -a
Linux r0xb0x 2.6.17-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 9 07:32:55 CEST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
I was running 2.6.7(?) on Debian, so I'm thinking its the 2.6.17 kernel, should I try a differant flavor like beyond/archck/vanilla?
The FPS fluctuatates from 120 - 250, I could'nt tell you what it was like on Debian.
Is there a custom kernel for gaming? Or one that would suite my needs better, or should I compile my own?
Thanks
-- eth0

I'm trying to compile my own kernel, and I can't get pass "make install":
[root@r0xb0x linux-2.6.17.13]# make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.13/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.17.13eth0 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"

Some reason it's using /dev/hda, yet all my hard-drives are SATA (/dev/sda), why's it using /dev/hda. I Google'd, couldn't find anything...

Counter Strike Source on MBP

I'm new to this forum and macs in general but it is about that time for an upgrade. I currently have a Dell inspiron 5100 2.8P4 with a ati 7500 Radion Mobility card(64) 1 Gig Ram. I am looking for a laptop that will be able to run both games and software with ease. I have been doing a little research online and have come across MBP. I also learned that it can boot both windows and the standard Mac os. Does anyone know how Counter-Strike Source will run on this machine? Ive heard mixed stories about the graphics and would like some clarification. A possible frames per second count? Overheating issues? Anything at all?
Id like to get the
BPG 2.6 4 gig 15' model.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

if you like games, stick to PC. games on a mac are virtually non-existent. even the games sold through the apple store barely run on a mac and aren't supported. games through bootcamp are really bad as well. i'd stick with PC...

Forwarding port for Counter-strike: Source is not working

With my linksys router (Model WRT54G)I tried forwarding my port for a Counter-Strike: Source server. My friends tried it after I tried forwarding the ports and it did not work. It looks like this: |Application|Start|End--|Protocol|Ip-Adress------|Enabled| |CS1--------|1200-|1200-|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS2--------|2700-|27015|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS3--------|27020|27039|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| I can get on the server but my friends can not.

Is the IP address 192.168.1.105 really the IP address of the server in your LAN?
Moreover, check what kind of modem you have. Follow the instructions here. If the IP address on the status page is a private IP address and the IP address on whatismyipaddress.com is different then your modem does routing too and you have to configure port forwarding there as well.

Problem with 6700 6.1 in counter strike source with msi mobo

hi,
i've just baught a 6700 6.1 set and they work fine in windows, dvds and the msi speaker set up test. but in counter strike sources speaker test and in game only the centre and sub work. i've changed the speaker settings in windows and source with no luck.
my msi mobo (k8n neo2) has 7.1 built in but only offers 2channel 4channel 5.1 or 7.1 options so i am using my speakers in 5.1 when i run the speaker set up test provided with my mobo the right speaker is highlighted and then plays a sound but in the source speeker test only the centre and sub actually make a sound when they are iluminated i have tryed all combinations off the msi set up and source set up and the problem does not change.
i was wondering what i could do or if this problem has been heard of before.
if i have missed any information out that u need 2 know just ask and il let u know
thanks a lot

If I dun remember wrongly, there's a switch at the woofer. Try changing that to direct mode.

Steam counter-strike source

hey ive been trying to run counter-strike source through wine and ive gotten steam up and running fine but ive encountered a problem when trying to connect to a game server once counter-strike is launched.
i get an error saying "server is enforcing consistancy for this file arctic.mdl" or at least something similar to that.
i looked around the web for fixes and i couldnt find anyone who experienced this problem with linux.
has anybody encountered this?

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
Issues connecting from PC to Mac
A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
Issues connecting from Mac to PC
I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal. I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing). Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing. Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share. You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.

Windows 7 64 and Boot Camp

I installed 64-bits Windows 7 on my iMac 24 (end 2007) and it works perfectly. The only problem is the the Boot Camp drivers cannot be installed. (Snow Leopard disk).
Somewhere I have read that the Boot Camp drivers are not compatible with the 64-bit version on this iMac.
What shall I do now?
I also have a 32-bit version.

I don't see any help in those links.
What works for most, other than some of the issues with quality of Apple's drivers and graphic driver issue... the whole idea that somehow a Mac from 2007 isn't officially endorsed as supported, and Boot Camp 3.0 drivers are over a year old; came out before Windows 7 was out (but end of public RC phase).
which hinges on the Mac's firmware being EFI32 instead of UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
Copy the whole contents to a folder on your Windows volume.
Navigate to Apple\Drivers\Bootcamp64
control + click on that file and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility Mode"
(or you can change Properties)
And you will then be able to overcome the "incompatible" error message and have them install
I have a 2006 Mac Pro also on the "endangered species list" as well.
Windows 64-bit versions from SP1 or later officially support UEFI, but that has not meant PCs couldn't install and use Windows 64-bit either.
