| | | Subpar performance
After coming back from not playing for 2 months, while in office and any other server I get like 80 fps then it drops down to 20 and even lower. I tried updating my drivers and I also lowered the settings but that did not help.
If this would be any help i did just change my psu today
2 months ago I would have constantly had over 100 fps and it would drop down to 60 maybe.

| | | I always get that dumbass driver message too. but I'm running xp64 bit. they claim 64 bit source has problems and runs slower. There's a way to right click on your game in steam, click properties, and put -32bit in the command line launch box. I tried that, didn't really do anything for me. I notice your running AMD so I figured there's a small chance you're running 64 too
I wonder how it runs for some of the guys with 8800 hardware
OH, edit: as for me, I'll get 130-140 fps is certain places and it will drop down to the teens in big enough firefights. it's bs

: 70 th | | | Maybe a complete reformat is an order, that usually helps me in FPS for a while at least.

| | | maybe. I might actually do it... If i can find the cd.
Oh, and how exactly would I save my games to an external harddrive? I mean, how would i do it without having to download steam and css again? (same with the firefox settings, drivers, and apps)
