Seems its a known problem, no versions of the mod work now, due to the SteamPipe update.

Found a temporary fix is here :- http://cinematicmod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2336

I may as well grab v12 now

Actually that's not quite true! There is an alpha version for CM 2013 http://cinematicmod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2376, which supports the new system. I've been using it for a few days and works well! Haven't played much of it though as I will probably replay it through once the final CM 2013 is released.

More than capable of handling it . Just remember to use the configurator, play around with the character pimper (HD models), and remember to max out the in game graphics options (you can change them, just as long as you don't set them to less than 'high').

There is a slight 'issue' at the moment with Source 2013 (really just a modded Source 2009 for Linux support and the new file system apparently), it is in regards to the Directx level. It may want to set Directx 8 as default! To change this, you have to run:
-dxlevel 95
after the program launcher, or use the registry mod Fakefactory posted.

The -dxlevel is just a Directx limiter for the internal game software, it doesn't actually set anything (this is what is set to '80' when it comes up Directx . That is, typing in -dxlevel 112 won't give you Directx 11.2, even though it says Directx 11.2. In fact, you can type in -dxlevel 2013, and in game it says Directx 201.3, but doesn't mean you have a Directx 201.3 card .

-dxlevel 95 is Directx 9.0+ (actually 9.0c + managed Directx).
