We’re supposed to have a CS 1.6 tourney this week, and now our sysadmins say that Vista will be rammed down our throats :angry:

  1. any issues running steam/ hosting a server/ playing CS on vista ?

  2. any way to turn of mouse acceleration in vista

Please reply ASAP, and TIA :slight_smile:

In fact CS1.6 used to crash on my XP some time back but ran flawlessly on vista. So no issues there.

No idea about mouse acceleration. I keep it enabled on both OS.

cpl mousefix does work on vista, but it gets reset after you restart your pc.

otherwise I have seen no issues

mousefix DOES WORK!!!

i just installed yesterday so if i find sumthing for vista then ill tell u…gonna google it in 5min

other than that cs runs fine if u have a decent gpu :face_with_tongue:

EDIT::

after extensive testing(10min :face_with_tongue: ) i got there results :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

with cpl mousefix and noforce commands in cs (-noforcemparms etc etc) there is no mouse accel. in vista ultimate 32bit

i did find a program for removing acceleration but when i installed that, i got negative acceleration as it was already zero..(this means that faster u move the mouse, less it actually moves on screen)

if you want that software, here is the link

all tests conducted on qck+ and mx518 :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

No problems playing cs1.6 or source on Vista. Disabling enchance pointer precision will disable acceleration. (CTRL panel->mouse options).

Never had any problems with FPS. Averaging 80-100 fps @ 1440*900 with settings high on a 8600GT.

headsets maybe , but mice , no. We’re not allowed to bring our own hardware to the office- STPI rules :angry:

I have organized a lot of fragfests , dont worry :face_with_tongue: just our first time with vista
