Troubleshooting
The sparks are blue!
You are using the default HL25's build, which contains visual glitches clientside! You should use the steam_legacy beta branch to fix these issues.
The models are frozen upon a death in CS Beta 6.x !
This is a visual glitch that seem to happen during animations. Unfortunately no solution has been found yet.
Why is the mod name ************* on my STEAM Friends?
As VALVe copyrights the name, any unofficial mod or game being named "Counter-Strike" is purposely censored by STEAM. Thankfully, it has no incidence
You'll have to modify your liblist.gam and rename the game token to CS Beta 7.0 or CS 1.3 for instance.
