Need help with my CS1.6

~~GodOfWar~~ · #1 08-05-2008, 01:35 PM

Hello , I'm running Counter-Strike 1.6 on Windows Vista Ultimate and I play on Non-Steam servers.
Well I have this problem since I have Vista ... the settings won't save.
I mean everytime I go in-game I must change the name from "Player" and the servers (on favorites) won't save either

Any suggestions?

its just a suggestion related to the name: search for config.cfg in your cstrike folder. open with notepad/editor
then press strg+f and typ in name--> u will get a line: name "YournameO_o" change it and save it.

EDIT : The settings saves now but the servers won't save

and I need to re-add them

Had the same problem, reinstall solved it, I think there must have happend an error during the installaltion causing it not to save the settings properly. Not sure though

Type this in console.

bind *key* (without the *'s) "connect serverip]" (with the brackets)

So it should look something like

bind j "connect 69.69.69.69:27015"

Then everytime you press the key you will join the server the key is binded to. Only downside is that if you press the key by accident you will still join the server.

I recommend binding the keys to the numbers keypad, or pgup/pgdown, seeing those are keys which are hardly used.

And it shouldn't have anything to do with Vista. I use vista 32bit sp1, have source/cz/1.6 installed, NO problems whatsoever.

you need to write bind "key" "connect IP"

This doesn't work because instead of 5 you need to put kp_5 instead of 5, then press 5 on your keypad and it should work.

This doesn't work because you have a bracket around the N.

Just try bind n "connect 89.47.44.195:27015"

You must be in a server first, then it will work.

Just join some random server, and once your in game, join specs and hit the hotkey.

no... the connect command should work on main menu, too.(if you use it via console)
write the bind command into your .cfg.
bind "f9" "connect <ip>"
bind "f10" "connect <ip>"
at least try it.

Tried it on main menu, didn't work for me, and didn't work for him too.

It does work if you keep it in your config though, but only if your in a server.

yes u missunderstood/ i didnt pointed it out correctly: by typing connect <ip> in the console it should work in main...keybinds wont work in main menu.

Yeah I realized that a bit after, haha.

Go try it and see if it works in your .cfg GodOfWar. Your binds should save even if its not in your .cfg, but I would put it there just for backup in case it malfunctions just like your favourites.
