CS:GO Help Me!

we need PC specs, we cannot do a crap with this info

have you tried re downloading it?

Did you overclock your CPU, GPU or they are running to their factory default and safe settings?

Try validate your files and see if that helps.

Right click the game in your library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache.

Just went through this nightmare. The most common cause is 32 bit platform (i.e. Vista 32 bit). Set all of the graphics to the lowest setting. Disable multi-core sampling. Set the game to run windowed full-screen. Some users had success running the game in XP compatibility mode. If none of that works, there are some more advanced options you can try.

im your savior

you need to get 64 bit windows, competitive cs only works on 64 bits

yeah, i know, valve sucks

toggle multicore rendering

Usually CS:GO changes its setting back to default in some cases.

I had a problem in my friend's computer and the settings may have caused this.

So try this.

Navigate to your CS GO folder. Then click on "csgo" then "cfg".

You will find a video.txt file, set that to read-only. After you changed your in-game settings.

Set everything to low/medium first in-game then un-toggle multicore rendering.

Then exit or alt tab, go to the video.txt file and set it to read only (So that it won't go back to the default video settings) .

This was my friend's case whenever the game loads another map the old values for the settings conflict with the new ones, which results into the crashes.

Edit: And you both have the same Processor and GPU. :D

dload latest drivers for ur gpu and mobo also update your bios

I had the same problem 2 month ago. Even if I can run the game with high graphics it crashes every 2nd match, too.
So I turn graphics to "low" and no more problems now. And you should check the graphics settings everytime you start to play because like Ayce said, graphics settings back to default mode very often. (and the crashes come back too ^^")

Hey there again,

I turned down settings(including Multicore Rendering), Verfied Game Files, and now I get another message when loading 2nd match:

Engine Error: failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer

lower your settings. It worked for me back then, i had similar issue back then

I had the same problem. I turned off Multicore Rendering and all works.

Disable the 'Multicore Rendering' usually works.

Had very similar crashes (actually remember that vertex error message popping up once or twice as well) and this solution from the steam forums helped me, dunno what is the reasoning behind it, but whatevs it worked.. :D
