This is a problem in HLDMS too, regardless of whether the beta in in use. --TomEdwards 06:27, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

Maybe HLDMS is already using parts of the new version?--RP 06:47, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

That's a very good point. Look inside the GCF and you'll find duplicates of all the engine binaries. --TomEdwards 08:55, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

No Cursors ingame

Expected: Cursor available after a kick (CS:S), to close the kick window and go back to the main menu. Cursor ingame to close the modt or to cancel a mapchange (DoD:S).

I was kicked from a Garry's Mod server just now and had the cursor as normal. --TomEdwards 08:57, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

I now add the games where i observed this bugs, maybe it is game related. --DeepBlue 10:45, 13 May 2006 (GMT)

Playdemo command

Initializing renderer...
DataTable warning: No matching RecvTable for SendTable '*�'.

White walls in Aztec

Expected: The walls in Aztec to be properly textured as they have been.
Observed: The walls have turned a very bright white. (See Picture)
Steps to reproduce: Load Aztec using the BETA command. Happened in an online server and in a listen server even after a restart of CS: Source. Verifying the game cache for CS: Source did not work. Other maps (Dust, Italy, Havana) have appeared fine. The walls reverted back to normal after I removed the command and restarted Steam.

The startmovie command doesn't work

Observed: When you try to make a movie using the startmovie command, the game only makes 1 picture then it freezes.

Class menu does not display player numbers

Expected: Class menu (,) displays the numbers of players in each class
Observed: Class menu displays 0 for all classes except those with set limits (i.e. X/Y rather than just X), and except for the player's class, for which a 1 is shown.
Steps to reproduce: Join a server with several other players, observe class numbers.

I've not been able to reproduce this since. The server also seemed to have kill notifications disabled, so it could have been related to that. --TomEdwards 11:01, 12 May 2006 (PDT)
