Probly the admin was on the opposite team and he got pissed off. I've been kicked from servers several times just because I upsetted the admin by killing him. Losers :dozey:
Is it stuttering or just low fps? Many people noticed stuttering after the last update. I say lower your settings, disable specular, bumpmap and ragdoll physics in autoconfig and hope that the next update will fix what was broken in the previous.
Anyway the settings look too high for your...
The nature of the bug imho is that in CS:S is you see fountains of blood when in fact you didn't hit the hitbox. Hitboxes themselves are quite all right. From my experience, if see a guy's head in scout crosshair while making a shot it's gonna be HS no prob. If I just miss (and I clearly see...

And BTW Steam validates only .gcf file. After update, I searched for modified files and found no less than 30 in Steam folder. Besides, Steam applies updates while downloading them, not AFTER, so single connection glitch is enough to corrupt some tiny .vtf and the game itself, eventually.
Dear Chris_D! Of course I validated all three files, and even tried to copy bin files back and forth, delete config and launch options etc- CS:S was still freezing on startup!!! Only deleting and reinstalling the whole BS game helped. As for .blob thingy, I may try it next time Valve comes up...
CS:S freezes the moment the mouse pointer touches Options, with "memory error" (never had THIS CRAP before in CS:S). Only cured by uninstall - delete Valve folder - reinstall - download updates - decypher etc. Thx Valve for another 2 hours of my life I'll never get back....
