I installed the game and then the updates from 0-32, it all works just fine with 1 exception. I can't select a resolution higher than 1280 x 1024 and the Aspect ratio is locked on 4:3. The problem with that is that my screen is native 1920x1080 and the aspect ratio afaik should be 16:10. So how can i increase the res. and enjoy the game like i was supposed to?
PS: my video card is a GTX 560 Ti, OS: Win XP 32 bit, nvidia driver 270.1 (i think) and the type of cable used to connect the screen to the gfx card is DVI.
PPS: Do i need an HDMI cable to unlock higher resolutions ingame? WTF is going on?
Try this:
Right click on your desktop shortcut ,add -dxlevel 81 after -console

Is your Windows desktop resolution set to 1920x1080? You can try to force game resolution by adding "-w 1920 -h 1080" to game shortcut properties.
@st4lk3rYou're joking right? The "-console" appears in the "Target" only when CSS is installed on steam, as for dxlevel 81 it's pretty much BS, my card can handle DX 9.0c no problem....I used to play around with this command (in the console "mat_dxlevel 81) back when i had a crappy PC, most of the time i used Casey's CFG to incrase fps...but it doesn't help me now though
@b00bs It may surprise you but i actually did an extensive search before posting and i already tried your suggestion with no success.
And yes my Windows desktop res is set on 1920x1080.
Any other ideas?
I already reinstalled the game and updated the video card drivers before posting here and again with no success. So what am i supposed to do?
PS: I noticed an error in the console when i tried to force the res from "Target" and it says:
Unable to remove d:\counter.strike.source.2010.orange.box.nosteam.[setti]\css\counter strike source 2010\cstrike\textwindow_temp.html!
Naturally i tried to delete that file but i was unable to locate it, even after i made all the hidden and protected files visible.
