Counterstrike Source

[keganv]

Can someone please explain how I can get counterstrike source to work on my macbook?

I have downloaded steam and installed counterstrike source through steam, and everytime I choose a server to play a map, the game begins to load and then the hl_osx crashes right before the game opens.

Sorry, Intel graphics aren't supported on the Mac Source engine.

I believe the PC version would run under bootcamp ?

The lag would be crazy with a GMA x3100 under bootcamp anyway.

Walk from CT spawn towards bomb site b, lag, awp through mid.

That's correct. However that doesn't make the OS X Intel-graphics drivers any better.

Yep, I was just trying to tell the OP that he could play it under Windows / Bootcamp.

If you REALLY want to play, it will be tough. You can only play under Windows with that GPU. You will have to run it in DirectX 8 or even 7. To do this, you open your launch options, by right-clicking your game, properties, launch options. Use "-dxlevel 81" or "80" or "70". If you want to get a little more FPS boost, you will have to use an FPS config. I play competitively and developed an FPS config that tons of gamers use for CS:S.

To use an FPS config, you have to locate your cfg folder, "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURACCOUNTHERE\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg" is usually the location. Download my CONFIG file from: http://esea.net/users/176203.

Take the autoexec.cfg and move it into your CFG folder. This will drastically improve your FPS, but will make your game look bad.
