I had sometime to kill yesterday, so I decided to play counter strike online. While browsing over the servers to join, I encountered a server with the map FY_Iceworld so decided to join in. I double clicked on the server name and then the game begins to load. To my surprise, suddenly the game crashed and out came the error "fatal error: could not find de_vegas.wad". So I googled around and found some help about this error. And I hope it will also help other people that also experiences this problem.

 

Step 1:
Download de_vegas.wad

Step 2:
Unzip the file into your counter strike 1.6 folder. If you used the default installation folder, it should be unzipped to "C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6\cstrike"

Step 3:
Restart the game and try again. You should now be able to play the map FY_iceworld.

ps: I think the reason you need to download the file is, FY_iceworld uses the same texture and prop models as the de_vegas.

Hope this helps... good luck and happy hunting!
