Try opening up your catalyst center, click on "SmartGart" and turn "fastwrite" to off.
Let me know how this works for you (fingers crossed!). -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally. They have sacrificed for us.....and it is now our job to help these veterans, as they have already helped us in ways we will never know, in ways that we cannot fathom, and in ways that we take granted every day.

In the catalyst control center. Double click on the icon that's in your systray (to the left of your clock, bottom right corner of the screen) and then click on view, advanced view. Now, make sure that fast write is off.
Give it a go and let me know how it is. -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

Really? Idiots made it, THat's the only problem pre 1.5 Steam the game was pretty well made, Then they invented the engine and look where it is now I wanted to say maybe its an issue with ATI and CSS itself, But I dunno, I know that CS and DoD and all that arne't really built around either vid card GPU but I know that the heavily favored one is Nvidia, however an issue like this , Boggles me... |

your FINAL option, Not your next but your FINAL option is to completely wipe yoru drive and start clean, I say this is the final one in all caps because you don't want to do it too soon, and it'll cause you to lose everything, and the reason I suggest donig this is since steve has tried pretty much almost everything, It'll rule out any glitches in windows that are causing it or glitches in the drive, Id wait to see what he can come up with, and then go from there though,
You could try a repair of windows from the disc, but I doubt that'll fix anything |

This is a problem that a lot of people have had, and that I can't find any solid fixes for. Since I'm only researching things on the internet, and don't have this game/problem myself, my hands are somewhat tied.
Let me try to check a few more things and ask some other guru's around the forums if they know anything about this..... -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

if its not windows related and you do a full clean each time you have formatted then its probably GPU related or ATI related in its origins, That's beyond me though, gotta be something they put in their drivers that causes this *shrug*

If not, it could leave behind malware and other "baddies" that can wreak havoc on a computer. You can try this, as it may (*MAY*) solve your problem: Download the omega drivers (most recent) from HERE. Now, uninstall the catalyst drivers that you have installed now. Restart your computer, and install the Omega drivers that you just downloaded. Restart your computer again, and try your game.
