Check your launch options (-dxlevel), zblock requires at least mat_dxlevel 8.1 or higher.

I still can't figure out how to play with a server with zblock installed.

I get invalid directX ver. 'mat_dxlevel'

Im running directx 9 something if i type mat_dxlevel in console it comes up as 60 ??

I'm going to try doing -dxlevel 81 when i get home

any suggestions?

8.1 is required with zBlock as previous versions of dx were open to exploits.

Actually zblock only requires you to have 8.0 emulated for textures. So in console you'd want to type in mat_dxlevel80

I still haven't figured out the proper way of doing it from launch options but I assume its something like -mat_dxlevel80.

If someone knows how to set that properly could they please respond. This is a major issue for about 1 third of all CS:S Players!

In launch options it is just -dxlevel 80

Now that is true. Previous versions of zBlock required 8.1 or higher.
