Counter-Strike: Source Steam Release [Oct 07, 2004, 2:44 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve sends word that the promised Steam
pre-orders for Half-Life 2 are now underway. As described in the announcement
about the pre-order plans (story), Counter-Strike: Source is
included in all three different levels of participation, and this updated
version of the tactical combat mod that comprises Half-Life 2 multiplayer is
available immediately.
Just in case somebody else is having this problem:
I finally finished downloading C-S:Source, and was distressed to see that the game refused to run in full screen mode. It gave me some strange video error when it started.
Steam's support system wasn't helpful, but I managed to find a solution on a message board somewhere (forgot the link). You have to specify your preferred resolution and the refresh rate at that resolution when starting the game.
I used:
-width 1024 -refresh 120
(use the Properties of the game to set those launch parameters)
You'll obviously need to know what refresh rate your system will have at that particular resolution (it's not necessarily the same as your desktop refresh rate!). I used ReForce to get my refresh rate.
