Counter-strike source fog

So, any way to get rid of the fog that's in css?

This is how it looks for me

Exactly, it looks like someone took a dump right over the screen.

And this, is how it looks for a friend of mine.

See the diffrence?
How to get rid of the frickin fog/dust thing?
I've tried default config, I've tried changing the resolution, I've tried to set every advanced video option to the asterix (*) nothing has worked so far.

fog_enable 0

However, it's a cheat command, so you can't use it unless the server has sv_cheats 1.

In other words you can't get rid of it.

Sooo...The reason I've got more than my friend is?

We've got the same config, same startup commands.
Only things I've changed are net_pos and cl_showfps.

Edit: also, tried to set the server to sv_cheat 1 and fog_enable 0, it didn't remove the fog for ♥♥♥♥. Tried it with the retry command aswell.

Thanks for the massive amount of help.

Same video card and drivers? There are variations between different drivers and GPUs that cause differences in the fog.

Actually as it turns out, it's not fog, is a dusty sort of particle effect, and it does move around in "clouds" of dust.

The command is r_drawparticles which is also a cheat command.

This problem with overly dense dust clouds seems to be a bug in CSS with some ATI cards.

One way you can get around it and make the fog go away is to run the game in DirectX 8.1 mode, either mat_dxlevel 81 in console or add -dxlevel 81 to the launch options.

After that comment, I was considering not replying at all. Sarcasm like that is not welcomed here.

#5 I've got nvidia 9600 gt, and its drivers are up to date.

That's with Mat_dxlevel 81, r_drawparticles 0 and fog_enable 0

Meybe you have Custom Contents? i see HUD is Blue... restore css and try again.

Never new what BUMP stood for, thank!

But yeah, it should be an ATI problem only. Try mat_dxlevel 80/81.

The hud hasn't got anything to do with particles, and it doesn't remove the particles, even if i reinstall and/or remove the hud.

Tested both, been best with dxlevel 95 so far.

You're very impatient.

Would describe it rather well.

But then again, when you're playing in a rather high league, you'd want these type of things to go away.

Honestly, I don't see what you're complaining about.

Forgive me if I'm blind but that looks just the same as CSS always has done, on all 6 of the systems I've used to play it in the past 5~ years.

Anyway, here's mine:

If you think that's any better than your current fog, go get an ATI card.

Edit: I apologise, put all of the screens side-by-side and I can definitely see what you mean now. Conclusion remains the same.

Has to be another solution, that one makes no sense.
