Need help with Counter Strike

[glen]

Everyone I know and half the internet have been telling me to get this game.
I have the latest HL and CS. I was in a server last night.

Here is the problem:
ALL the dudes look $h!t brown to me, and I can't tell who to shoot.

Surely, this is not a problem unique to me.
Any advise?

I just installed it myself and they look like two diffrent colors to me. Fun game.

I am using a GF2, should I use Open GL or D3D?

 

[Mark]

Try both.

Does ASUS have a driver hack that puts green and red triangles over the heads?

 

[RanDum72]

OpenGL is more reliable than Direct3D.

 

[datalink7]

opengl is better than direct3d in CS

 

[alpineranger]

... unless you are like me, and run win 2k and a card with no win 2k opengl drivers.

Do you have your glasses on?


Actually this happened to me too when I first started to play but soon enough you will be able to tell the difference. As long as FF isn't turned on you should be ok. Just buy lots of ammo and shot anything that moves.

Gotta love CS.

And ASUS released drivers that allowed people to control the transparency of walls and entities (aka CHEATING!)


Yeah the models are dark and sometimes hard to decipher in some cases, but you have to get used to it.

You can download new skins (for players and weapons)..

Of course this is where the spiked models come into play.


I heard that CS 1.2 will have a fix that won't allow custom skins. Don't know if this is true. Hope this helps the brown skin problem

All the characters are beautiful on my Radeon, especially since I enabled the higher-res characters.
