    Probably the 100th time ive posted a CSS related problem but the thing is no one seems to be able to help me...not even the guys at steam. Well anyway my CSS mysteriously closes down when i connect to a server sometimes (this mainly happens on dust2) basically the floor in teh tunnels are all white and look kinda weird..cant explain it. As soon as i come close to them CSS closes and i get this message.

    Also one more thing, everytime i connect to a server for the first time i get disconnected from it and have to try again and then it works :/

    Can someone help please :)

    No it has nothing to do with xfire. Xfire just shows thje problem that has been caused by CSS

    Try deleting de_dust2 (map...nav. file, the whole lot)...and re-downloading it via connecting to a dust2 server. :)

    Re-install everything including steam and video drivers. This time try use a registry cleaner to wipe out to clean left overs

    Have you checked to see if it's a heat problem?

    Maybe the textures are screwing up b/c your vid card is overheating?
