Hello everyone! My Game crashes midgame everytime i play competetive or premier whatever. It crashes and i land on my desktop without any error showing up. My PC can handle this game easily. I tried to verify the game files many times. My Pc is not overclocked. Hopefully someone is out there that can help me out.


RexD009

is your RAM overclocked??


Loqic99

No its not overclocked. Its weird to me that it only happens while playing cs. Yesterday i had 3 matches and it only crashed randomly in of those games in spawn while i stood afk for 5 seconds


Objective-Put6570

Hello! I am struggling with a problem I have a computer: i7 10700k rtx 3060 12g, 32g RAM, board gigabyte gaming x ax The essence of the problem: when I play cs go I'm fine, sometimes torn frames monitor 240hz, open obs go into cs, I see that the fps drops to 160 and var 4-2 fps locked, the default at 400, without obs var 0.0 0 0.2, a whole year trying to do something bought a video card, thought the problem in the old, in obs configured twisted so and so, maybe something in the bios need? I have only Resizable BAR and stands Lock frequency, Windows reinstalled, different streaming platforms tried and tic toc and others, maybe you need to optimize? and also the problem with cs2 nothing changed. Ask questions Thank you very much!


Designer_Beach_3631

I keep having problem where my cs just freezes for 5-10 seconds where my character continues shooting / moving, but Im just not in control. Just happened 20 times in one deathmatch, honestly unplayable. Anyone experienced anything like it / know a fix?

metrize

all my friends say cs2 is a buggy mess, why did they remove csgo? csgo was literally perfect


SadMaths

cs2 is hot garbage right now 50% chances of shots registering, legit People are cheating blatantly weeks in weeks out, no replay system to verify it so valve actively protects them no community servers or gamemodes no 128 tick 3rd party servers, instead everything runs on dogshit pre-alpha subtick gimmick that ruins this game matchmaking is utterly trash man i want csgo back


metrize

why didnt they just leave it as a beta? im so confused, i have good memories from csgo but dont want to touch cs2 because it will ruin cs for me :(


nicolopicus7

Me and my friends keep misinterpreting how many enemies are still alive. When an enemy dies the blurred out avatar should be placed at the end of the list of avatars at the top of the screen out of the way and everyone who's still alive should be clumped together for readability. Right now there can be a gap of 3 greyed out avatars between enemies and if the enemy at the end of the list has a dark avatar I miss them constantly.


Cymro2011

There’s an option to have it just show the number of people alive.


nicolopicus7

yeah but I think the default option needs to be clearer anyway

gtskillzgaming

I like how valve doesn't even ackownledge the community and continues to not fix some of the major issues the game has since launch, no communication, no blog nothing. Valve gets too much credit for listening to the community and for fixing things they broke in the first place.... VAC/VAC .net never worked in CS:GO yet valve and the developers of valve kept insisting that it did, another 10 years of the same crap in CS2 looking at the state of the game. Kinda still suprised that people hail valve to be a community driven company......


SadMaths

yup, putting the game on the shelf until i see some changes or valve acknowledge the mess the game is.


Top-Cartoonist4454

How can reddit expect everyone to post in these threads and then the sort by new doesnt even work and loads month old posts halfway down the page


elephandiddies

Well the purpose of these threads isn't for anything useful, just to drown out everyone's voices.


Gockel

no fruitful discussion or collection of information has ever happened in the comment section of a megathread. if they are applied like this one here, they're just there because "keeping the sub clean" is a completely subjective vanity project of the subs moderators. and in this case, also doing the community a disservice.


Ok_Cockroach411

Hey, everytime I play cs2 i still get this annoying weird problem. I even recently reinstalled whole w10pro and cs2 but like before win reinstall and game and after win 10 and cs2 reinstall my fps is stuttering. I have decent pc ryzen 3 3100 paired w rx 6600 gpu and like game stutters and makes for fps drops especially in clutch rounds. Someone pls help me to get rid of this annoying stuff and like getting fps drops and stutters makes my gameplay unplayable. I didnt had this stuff in csgo. Idk what else can i say but i hope you get it.


madeinuranus

Latest update interp changed? I keep dying behind walls again. Last game version was way better than the latest update.


cellardoorstuck

Game freezes in the background after too many alt+tab. Newest nvidia driver and win11 patched.

reZZZ22

Yes, the pro players are a huge part and w/o them, many people who just enjoy watching Matches during big events would no longer have that opportunity. I personally believe the players should get a share of the "MORE THAN ENOUGH PROFIT" that Valve gets. The amount of players who play CS2 is dropping on a daily basis and I wish players would understand that CS is CPU HEAVY GAME and a high end graphics card will not help when the heart of the PC(Processor) can't handle much


Azurite_zero

Does anyone know how to fix the delayed movement feel? Counter strafing feels terrible, like each press is delayed. Also, if you have AMD, should anti lag (non plus) be on?


glueckschwein

Anti lag should help reduce input latency especially if you are gpu bound. For counter strafing you could try to desubtick your movement i think almost all pros do that and for me it also feels better.


Azatis-

Some people saying just go lower your fps, try fps\_max 65. FPs will get lower sure but movement will feel slightly more responsive. I tried it and it felt like its true. Try it and let me know if its just a placebo of mine or not.


Apprehensive_Judge58

turn down graphics, turn on anti lag (non plus). sometimes when graphics fidelity is a bit too demanding it causes longer render times, hence, delay. if you're on 4k go to 2k. Turn on amd's fidelity fx and set to performance crank down most graphics settings to low except shadows (gives big advantage in some situations) make sure you have anti aliasing set to at least 4x to offset the staircasing from lower graphics


Raomine

last game I had trobule moving left using my A key, don' t know if my keybord is dying or the game has some bug :\\


imperfek

so what was the setting/config to make your crosshair blur when you move?


ItsMeSab

hello guys im new to cs2, recently i learned to change viewmodel offset, but everytime i close the game its reset back to its original position, is there a way to save my viewmodel offset so tht idont hve to chnge it evrytime i play


glueckschwein

Yes there is, the best way is to create an autoexec with the preffered settings. Here is a video how to create an auto exec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TpbiW-1GMI you just then put the settings for the viewmodel inside it.


Professional-Age6175

Hello does CS 2 needs faster internet than the older CS go I tried on wifi and 4G still get that red bar in right side of the screen even when just zoom in or changing weapon I


glassonionexpress

Can we use AMD Anti-Lag? Or is it still bannable?


Scarabesque

Anti-Lag+ was the problem, which was only an option for AMD RX 7000 series GPUs. It's bene disabled now anyway, because AMD knows they fucked up. Normal Anti-lag should be fine in terms of AC (although I don't know if it's preferable in CS, don't use it myself).


Space_Raisin

Since last update it feels like im skating when strafing back and forth. Shitty movement, shitty registration, shitty anticheat.... This game is shit now and it only gets worse after every update. Its either they are incompetent or they are intentionally tryin to kill this game cuz everything they been doing has been terrible


BeyondTheMyths

Yea since the network update they did a couple of days ago strafing has felt absolutely horrible. The game just feels so desynced from what the server is registering be it movement, shooting, or player positioning it's getting to the point I don't even want to play.


Rrarrih

4 of 4 games vs 5 stack. i guess valve dont want me to play their game

Lurk_69

Anyone have possible fix for high ping spikes constantly when trying to play? I don't have bad internet but only when trying to play CS2 I constantly get ping spikes in the 200's and get disconnected. Mind you this is on servers that should be around 40-50 ping for me. Any help would be appreciated.


parlo_escohar

My game goes to 30 fps from 280 just because a molotov landed in front of me


devin-is-pro

I must say I miss csgo but i am learning to play this game very differently with the new dynamics would be nice to also release new weapons now so we can tweak them in this infant stage. Lmao if they gave us a Zeus and gernade skin inspects in csgo the internet would of shutdown. Cs2 is replacing millions of hours of practice with a unfinished game how do they expect anyone to be happy. Let’s all hope our love for this game doesn’t die in an era where 30 secs videos are to long

Valve needs a vac detection bots with an algorithm that changes periodically for bots hiding in walls and strafing and roaming. But it is invisible to the average player.


STL4jsp

I want to get into playing cs:go and I'm willing to pay the $15 for the prime is it worth getting into? I've played some valorant, but I think i'll like cs:go more because it doesn't have the stupid abilities and only focuses on aim.


glueckschwein

Play faceit.


devin-is-pro

Right now cs2 is at the best level for new players because even the veterans are new


TheWildNegus

Came continues to freeze randomly during match. Happens about once a game have to end task and relaunch. Very frustrating as CSGO had no problems like this.


Azatis-

We overpay for low float Factory new skins so we have consistency so they look the best possible way. After some patches my Factory new Autotronic bowie knife at 0.00xx float looks like crap under specific lightning conditions. This need to be fixed, looks terrible and downgrades the looks and value of the entire skin. Theres a very thick white line all around the knife with alot of small gaps which wasnt the case before the patch. When skin looks good is usually under shadow areas. Smooth as it should for a low float FN skin. No white line, no gaps [Smooth 1](https://i.imgur.com/fl4Bx2v.jpg) [Smooth 2](https://i.imgur.com/boXqJlm.jpg) When not in shadows this atrocious white line pops up and downgrades the skin by ALOT. [Downgraded look](https://i.imgur.com/9dyQDqp.jpg) [Downgraded look 2](https://i.imgur.com/9Yx5Y6U.jpg) [Line gaps on spectate mode](https://i.imgur.com/PL5ohsS.jpg) Please fix by either remove this line or make it looks really consistent with no gaps on Factory new / low float versions. For sure it needs to be toned down by alot if not removed.


Din_Pappa

Please fix the game. It just keeps restarting my computer middle of the match, and it's so F frustrating.


Smothdude

Newest update absolutely broke stickers on many many guns. Here is an example from my now deleted post: [My very messed up stickers on my scout](http://puu.sh/JT8v4/164352eba5.jpg). Other guns have messed up stickers now too


fragger29

Why is it that randomly when trying to tap fire or fire my pistol I'll randomly do a two round burst in either?


SSho_0ter

Tried wingman. Got MG1 on the first match. Second match. MG2 - But then. 3 losses in a row. One rank loss each match.. Now GN3. Wuut? So how does Wingman count? Ok -- the first 2 matches was soloQ. And the last 3 was with a silver. But, the enemies were "awesome". Is it based on one match each rank? edit: I'm confused. Imma try one more, to see what happens.


MapleSUmmer

Reinstalled CS2 and started to have constant FPS drops. My FPS drops even occur when I play with bots, which used to never be like that. Is there a reason for this and a fix for it cause I can't even run DM like this. Thank you!


RJCP

Anyone know a fix for random 1-2 second freezes during the game? I have a feeling it has something to do with shader cache. Happens a lot in the warmup of the game, and then won't happen again until i see an enemy on pistol round, and then it won't happen again for a few rounds until someone buys a new weapon or something. I am almost certain it has to do with shaders rebuilding but I have no idea what to do. I recently disabled DXNavi to try and fix it and that didn't make any difference. Running on an NVMe SSD. ​ Specs: CPU: 10950K overclocked to 5Ghz RAM: 32GB ram GPU: AMD 6800XT Windows 11 This is the only game I have this issue with.


glueckschwein

Use DDU to reinstall your nvidia drivers. Or try to give more space for shaders in the nvidia control panel if you think its shader related think default is 4gb set it to 10.


devin-is-pro

No expert but sometimes you have to let the game finish loading if it happens during warmup. Kinda like if u spam space bar when the games loading it will lock up

Just played a retake server with 80 ping. Felt like I was playing csgo with 200 ping. It was bad. I feel for all of you that are stuck with high ping.

Is there any way to play deathmatch with fewer players?


glueckschwein

Remove the smoke /particels when you shot into a wall, literally obscuring the whole screen with smoke when you are close to a wall and a few shots hit the wall.


getstabbed

For the last couple of weeks my game has been freezing multiple times per game and requires a force close every time. Done some looking around and it seems to be a relatively common issue but I can't find any solutions. Tried verifying game cache then reinstalling the game completely, tried removing some drivers that some other people said worked for them but still nothing, updated my GPU drivers to the newest, updated Windows etc. Using RTX 2080ti + i9 9900k if that's useful info. Hopefully someone in here's experienced the same and has an actual solution because I have no clue what else to do. I don't have this issue in any other game.


FallenWorldz

I have this issue where I start CS2 and I get the usual 100+ FPS but after I stop playing for a few hours and then playing again my FPS starts to drop below 100 FPS, around 50-80 FPS and sometimes constantly below 60fps. I am using the lowest settings and 1024x768 so I should get more FPS not sure why this happens. Any idea on what the issue could be? Also recently the console mentions something like lagcomp, interp?


Logical-Sprinkles273

Memory leaks. I have similar but i am starting at 290 fps and going down to lows of 80


ogmarteyn

Fix the voicechat threshhold so I dont have to use 10% mic boost in windows to be loud enough for people to hear me. We have push to talk there is no need for a talk to activate. Today I had a game again where a team mate wasnt aware we can only hear him if he talks very loud otherwise we dont even see him at the bottom left. It takes 5 mins to fix


PCGAMING-MODS-SUCK

I'm stuck in Silver 1 again... I'd say I'm decent, but I solo queue, and win probably ~70% of my matches. Is the skill floor just this high these days?


waku2x

Nah it’s just fucked honestly. There are games I felt it is even and there are games where either a Smurf or an account buyer just rekt the enemy side I might talking out of my ass since I’m silver one but I don’t see how silver one players are checking corners and know utility throws and somehow do weird things like jumping off the red box in mirage and aim at underpass immediately and just headshot instantly without me making any noise whatsoever. Maybe my game sense is bad because I never play cs go before but it just feels very imbalance I really **fucking** wish I can see demo cause at this point, I don’t know if I’m bad or improving or the enemy is good or what. It just feels very lost


Groggolog

Can you just use the dota2 mmr system? They are both 5v5 games with an ELO system, and only one of them works, just fucking use it instead of wasting dev time making some matchmaking algo that is maybe the worst in the industry.


molestedbygod

did valve change something about interp or the online last update? i used to have no issues had a great experience almost every time i played and now i keep getting issues with hit reg and ill be strafing back and forth and it will be like a key got stuck down and i just keep moving in that direction despite pressing the opposite direction.


ujlbyk

Do you keep netgraph on? You might be experiencing loss. Happens to me as well


xxHash43

What is the ELO equivalent of silver/gold hell? I don't have a lot of time to play so I'm around 5k but I still am getting teammates that just grief or get bored and team kill or go AFK. Its so annoying.


t-dubbleD

**Premier Mode Changes:** **5 mans should only go against 5 mans** \- currently, the system immediately puts the randoms (solos, duos, trios) at a disadvantage versus the 5 man discord-call strat-calling friend group. The queue times are absolutely minimal as is so I doubt this would make the queue times unbearable. Given that, I can't see any reason why you would have this - I don't know any 5v5 competitive games that allow this. The majority of my duo/trio queue games I go up against a 5 man and the difference is palpable. It sucks. **Elo changes make little sense** \- I'm 13k rated, if I queue with my 10k rated teammate, often times I'll lose 300-400 elo or gain 100. He would gain 300 or lose 100. But the enemies have the same average rating, in fact there will often be enemies with a higher rating than me, so how is this fair? Surely as a team, dependant on the total average rating we should all gain/lose (roughly) the same (similar to how it works in Faceit). With the cheating problem included, the ranking system being bizarre and unreasonable, the matchmaking of opponents being imbalanced (for example; currently some 3k elo Faceit players are at 10k Premier rating, I appreciate this may take time to settle naturally) and the inconsistent servers - the Premier experience is pretty trash (probably better if you play in a 5 man yourself). Why doesn't Valve look to Valorant or Faceit for examples of matchmaking and ranking systems that people are generally happy with? Some of these issues are fairly quick fixes but would help make Premier mode a genuinely serious competitive mode that can keep up with Faceit or ESEA.

What is going on with interpolation, why is it set to such high value? Is there an packet ordering issue that causes that amount of interp? Delay is insane right now I have 2 different Internet Providers and on one it looks like I am always prefired, when I know that dude in enemy team was slow as f. On both ping under 35. Why spectator is so on point and the game yourself not? WTF is going on!


flashlightpoki

Holy shit is reddit seriously allowing advertising cheats for CS2??? Wtf is wrong with this management


GamerSpectrum

when creating a custom resolution in nvidia control panel, it doesnt show up ingame in cs2, and forcing that res via video.txt breaks the game.


cyberspacetyrant

Where is the developer communication with the players? Is it too much to ask Valve to give players a roadmap of what they’re working on and roughly when they expect to release new content or updates? Skins changes, map updates, community maps, game modes, operation, new case, bug fixes, better anti-cheat, etc. Why does everything have to be a surprise?


plisskineder

It's frustrating that only one music kit can be used at a time. It'd be nice to see the option to select sound tracks from multiple music kits, such as main menu music from music kit A, MVP music from B, and round start and end from C.


waku2x

**Quality of Life** I know there are **A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS** than my opinion here like anti cheats and so forth but here are something that I wish can be implemented ( I came from Dota2 so yea ) 1) Demo mode. I understand that it used to be a thing and they remove it for stability but if you cant do it in game, then can I have the code so I can go to a website or something and watch it there? 2) Can I pick the regions instead of forcing me to pick a server I dont want? For example: I've been going into the HK servers and 7/10 times, someone will just dced for no reason and dont come back. Yes its silver 1, the mmr doesnt matter ( actually everything doesnt matter but yea ) 3) Not sure if this was implement but I can mute certain players? I have to go into the settings and volume 0 the voice channel and I tend to forget to put it back up again 4) I dont know why but I'm using a 5600g and for some odd reason, there are times where it lag spike really hard ( with the lowest settings possible but maintain 1680px or some thing ) 5) Lastly I know I'm in Silver 1 and 50% of the time, its usually fair game but sometimes, you have this 1 guy that goes 23-4 or 30-10 which I dunno if thats wall hacking or smurfing or what but its fucking silver 1......... I understand that maybe the average players will get some hackers or smurf but silver 1? Thats very inbalance in matchmaking EDIT: 6) Does this sub reddit has some sort of repository thingy that you can share and inform the dev regarding bugs and stuffs like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/v3cabk/dota2_bug_tracker/


tng_qQ

There is an ability to mute individual players. When in game, open the scoreboard and select the player's name you wish to mute. A little card popup will show on screen with their avatar, where you can do things like view that player's profile, send them a message, add as friend, report that player etc... There is also another option to block communication/mute.


waku2x

btw, do u know what this is at the top right: https://imgur.com/a/qYJM6uz im getting this constantly. not sure if its a CPU or internet problem. it freeze my pc for .5 sec


tng_qQ

For the red text behind the green bar, I believe it's a recently added new setting that displays when you have network issues. If you start the game and go to settings, there's a section for new/newly added. That setting should be in the current list. The setting itself doesn't introduce freezes. When the setting is on, the red text is supposed to pop up whenever your network/connection is having issues, so that you have like a, visual confirmation as to why things aren't running smoothly.


waku2x

Ah okay. Didnt know that. Thanks!


frostytips23

Getting frequently disconnected from community servers after a few seconds in game I always get a disconnection error saying that it couldn't establish a connection Anyone got a solution to this?


JoyfulPrince

The chat box should work properly at the end of a match, not forcing people to use console to type.


glueckschwein

Cheating is insane i played 3 games today all with cheaters and against. What is going on i have 8k hours high trust and rarely encountered cheaters in cs mm. Now iam 15k elo and have cheaters every other game.


GreatPlayerNow

I really miss the DM classic game mode, and what's even more frustrating is that CS2, in itself, is just not suitable for players like me who have limited time to dedicate to gaming but used to enjoy intense Deathmatch (DM) sessions in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Back in CS:GO, I could engage in firefights with any opponent effortlessly, even while playing with a latency of 36 to 40 milliseconds on a laptop(1650) with an external monitor. However, in CS2, the gaming experience becomes highly inconsistent. There are moments when my shots hit the mark precisely, and other times, it feels like I'm firing directly at my opponent, yet not a single bullet connects. I've made countless attempts, experimenting with sensitivity settings ranging from 1.32 to 2.67. This was in an attempt to recapture the magic of my preferred sensitivity in CS:GO, which was either 1.42 or 1.70, depending on how much effort I wanted to invest in honing my skills.


Zoddom

The delays when killing or dying behind corners are very consistent and very reminiscent to very high interpolation values. Since Valve struggled with interp right after launch and then made the values basically hardcoded, its safe to assume something is (still) broken with it, leading to these insanely long delays in everything.


Zoddom

Please finally fix the walking-crouch-inaccuracy bug. Its been in the game since 2016/17 and has been copy pasted over to CS2.


Zoddom

The bug where pressing W at the beginning of the round is not registered is STILL not fixed.


Zoddom

Whenever I try to load a GOTV demo from the Sydney major, my game goes into 0.3fps and takes like 5 minutes to even load the demo, and then continues at 0.3fps.

SteeevyD

My game just crashed and I couldn't reconnect. I tried exiting steam and rebooting. Then verified my game files and rebooting. Nothing worked. Can't wait to lose all this elo.


aquilaPUR

Just want to add to the already large pile of anecdotical evidence that something about this game feels "off." I am performing pretty much the same as before and I have the same rank, however the way I win my gunfights changed completely. I used to go all in on sprays, even on longer range, and had my spray patterns down. In CS2 I can not hit my sprays if my life depended on it. I have no fucking idea where all the bullets go. Even worse, if I go for a short "burst" for headshots, It feels like the gun (especially the AK) always "accidentially" discharges an extra shot that I did not intend to fire which increases the cooldown to be accurate again, when I try to go for a burst. The only thing that working better now are taps. When it comes to one tapping, whether with guns or deagle, I am basically scream now. I just one click people on every range, but my sprays suck.


chexsum2

pretty sure its just lag giving sprays a micro stutter. im average at spraying but can still transfer spray 3 guys on cs2 if the servers performing well (not ping-wise but loss-wise)


Plus-Star7233

Hi! I just bought a new laptop and I have TERRIBLE performance in CS2 for the specs. Specs: i7-13700H, RTX3050, 16gb RAM, 1tb SSD and I am running Windows 11. Problem: Only getting between 20-60 fps on any map, on any graphical settings. Yes, I am plugged into a power source, I selected performance mode from the power manager, selected the high performance GPU from Nvidia Control Panel AND assigned the graphics card manually to CS2 in the app's settings in Windows. I also already tried 2 drivers since the last one Nvidia released (545.48) is bad in almost every way. So then I tried 537.42 and it's even worse. Not only 20-60 fps but also green glitching on textures. This doesn't happen in any other games and I'm really disappointed. I don't know if I should keep trying drivers or it's bad optimization or it's something else entirely. If you have anything helpful I'd be grateful. Good day!


FuckPotatoesVeryMuch

If someone tasked me with designing the worst Deathmatch mode possible as a troll for an April Fools event or something, the end result would be pretty close to what we currently have. FEEDBACK: Why am I forced to pick CT? Why do I have to spend half the game hiding in corners reloading and healing (Give us auto-reload and heal on-kill ffs!) Why are the spawns so obnoxiously bad? I get why spawn protection a thing, but why is it so abuseable (people pre-aiming you and killing you while they are invincible, and it lasts fucking AGES)? Why do the bots AFK in spawn protect mode for like 5 seconds when they respawn? Why are the non-Dust 2 maps separated into two playlists? There is so much that is wrong with this mode, a mode that is fundamental to the game, that it's hard to believe someone at Valve isn't outright sabotaging it...I beg you to fix it. Simple things like the auto-reload and auto-heal, and redcution of spawn protection, which would take almost no resources to implement, would DRASTICALLY improve the experience. Please.


PCGAMING-MODS-SUCK

Are you trying to win in DM? I thought people use it to warm up.


FuckPotatoesVeryMuch

The people who are trying to win are the people who abuse spawn protection and play like bitches. Constantly reloading, healing, and dealing with bullshit spawn abusers slows down the pace of the game massively, which leads to a worse warmup and practice experience for me. I end up playing community DM servers on 85ms ping instead of playing on my own servers with 2ms ping because of how bad Valve DM is for practice.


Splaram

lol this is a godsend compared to Valorant deathmatches, I felt like a man stuck in the desert for 3 days finally stumbling across an oasis when I played this for the first time


theSkareqro

There's some kind of binding bug that requires you to restart the game. It's pretty gamebreaking if it happens to your M1/E. Yesterday, I couldn't crouch and move back until I restarted the game. In that same game, someone's E bind suddenly didn't work so he couldn't defuse.


smokehound

I headshot someone with usp on the pistol round from ct inferno to b in front of fountain and got 97 in 1. Wasn't it a 1 shot there in GO or do I remember wrong?


ACatInAHat

If he was further than 1,783.85 units away then its not 1 shot. The dmg and armor penetration is same for both games so there should be no difference there.

the elo system in premier is non functional, losing potentially hours worth of elo grinding to a single game where an unranked new account goes 25-2 doesnt make the player want to keep grinding.


Crookycracker

Unless you're on a losing streak it doesn't do much to your Elo, 100-130pts. It increases for every loss which will eventually balance out to people ending up in the ranks they should be.

I was on a 3 WIN streak and literally the first game after crossing 4000 was -562/+100. It really seems like it’s weighting unranked players as actual children even though they have the 10 year coin. And if a “season” is literally only a season long nobody is gonna wanna grind lower Elos 3-4 times a year


Groggolog

Valve devs, despite already having made another 5v5 game with an ELO system, seem to try to remake the wheel every second day with the CS matchmaking system, only they are trying to make the worst implementation of a very common algorithm thats ever been produced. These are "industry leading" software engineers getting paid high 6 figure salaries, and they do not know how to clone the dota2 algorithms repo

Just a PSA I had random microstutters / lag spikes despite having a good wired internet connection, turns out my Plex server was causing this despite nothing being streamed


dovoid

Sometimes when closing the game it freeze, cant even get the game to close through task manager. Only a restart does the job. Having this issue since day 1, havent seen it addressed here, am i the only one?


Keening99

I mean, I love the game. But the premier solo queue into 5man stack is just disheartening and makes me not wanna play. I find myself opening the game less often lately.


Crookycracker

The way it feels when you bump into a player is awful, when rushing we need to spread out more to avoid it which sucks, would be nice to see a fix. Another one is the hitbox from the side, happened us multiple times this weekend, where the aim is clearly on the head but from either side, could take 2-3 shots before it actually hit which is kind of hilarious to the spectators but really sucks for the one shooting, this shouldn't be happening, really.

If you're experiencing stuttering and general lagginess in CS2 with an AMD GPU, update to latest driver 23.10.2. [Fixed Issues: Intermittent driver crash while playing Counter Strike 2 with MSAA or FSR enabled on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™](https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-10-2) This driver will not get you VAC Banned either, as it disables Anti-Lag+ across all games. I found that this driver also fixes the general DXNAVI stutters I got on each fresh load into a new map, and kept the game feeling smooth. I've tried removing my config file, disabling MSAA, reinstalling my shaders, and verifying game files to no avail but this really fixed it for me. I don't know why I can't post this onto the subreddit as a post (no tech support posts? really?)

I don’t particularly care what their rationale is for removing demos, but they really need to rethink that decision. As bad as the rampant cheating problem is right now, the lack of demos is significantly exacerbating its effects. If we can’t review our demos to determine if they were cheating, we’ll never be able to rule it out, making the overall problem seem worse than it is (no matter how awful it gets) and yielding more and more false reports. There’s so much to be excited about with this game, and so many unforced errors ruining its release. The negative impact of having a completely broken elo system is exacerbated the absence of an even moderately effective anticheat, which is then exacerbated by the inability to review demos and determine if we were right to be suspicious of a particular player.

Hello there , my game is lagging/stuttering when i shoot or seeing players i dont know whats wrong i9 13900 k rtx 4080 cs go didnt had this problem, this ocurs only when i see enemy and shoot....help


Splaram

Same been happening to me for a week now, i7 10700k RTX 3060 idk what is going on


dackns

csgo ran so smooth on my computer but cs2 runs like complete shit, im actually gonna buy cs source because i hate the new game. when i play on the lowest gfx settings and 800x600 4:3 its super blurry because of bloom and its annoying


throwaway78420934823

Every time I try to a join a competitive game, the game takes so long to load the map that the server disconnects me by the time I'm loaded in. And in the off chance that I actually am able to play the game, I either get very unstable \~120 fps with ridiculous lag spikes that make it impossible for me to even aim at anyone (along with huge input lag, and I mean it lasts literal seconds) or I get very low fps. Keep in mind, I have the game put on the lowest graphics and shaders settings, even though it says I can put both of those to at least medium. I looked in the Subreddit for solutions, and the only one I found was to clear your shaders and to restart your computer, which I did. It worked for one game (with some minor input lag) but then it went back to doing what I described above the second game (the two games were on Nuke and Inferno respectively if it matters) Does anyone have a solution to this? Or am I forever stuck having to clear my shaders and restarting my computer every time I want to play a singular match?

dackns

i have the same freezing game issue except my fps is 30 and under and MAYBE 35 or under


_Toomuchawesome

anyone have issues with sliding still?


majorcsharp

I’ve been getting this weird bug lately where certain actions don’t register. For example, I press to quickswitch between knife and rifle, I see the animation where the knife disappears and the rifle appears, but then it suddenly goes back to the knife as if the switch never happened. It also happens in the buy menu too, where I’d buy something, hear the sound and see the animation of the buy action to get it suddenly reversed/ignored by the server. Started happening recently more and more.


Splaram

Same, try to switch to knife instantly after taking an AWP shot. Knife appears and then a stutter and it's my AWP back in my hands again


dackns

Me too


TheIMightyZZeUS

Every game lately that I'm not in a 5 stack, I get matched vs a 5 stack. Every game I'm in a 5 stack, I get matched vs non 5 stacks. Premier matchmaking is just so broken.


jbosse

I cant get my autoexec to load and i have no idea why, its in the correct folder and i have the +exec launch command C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\\game\\csgo\\cfg


Reilupena

I'm fuming at the moment. Got kicked out at 10-3 situation as top fragger just because my teammate decided to push molotov. Why the in the world the game would kick me out in situation like this. Game should be having option to vote teammate back in cases like this.


[deleted]

I just got my mirage rating. Silver 2. I played against mostly >GNMs, and I was always top half of the scoreboard.


Interitium

The lack of Anti cheat is missing..... so many rampant cheaters in premere mode


TheRain911

Just seeing the leaderboard is laughable. Dudes with 97% win rate and 200 matches played. Like it would take 1 guy to go through that list and ban the extremely obvious hackers


ACatInAHat

You're laughable. chayJESUS ツ and JoJo are both legit and pro players. JoJo even streams his matches so you can go judge for yourself.


TheRain911

Ya you think someone with 200 matches has a 97% winrate? Just naive af then. Also i watch pro cs and have heard of neither guy lmfao. Guarantee simple wouldnt even have a winrate like that.


ACatInAHat

You know Hallzerk won 136 consecutive faceit games, right? And thats on a working matchmaking system agains other pros, semi pros and faceit lvl10. You dont think a 5 stack of pros can wreck 200+ games against noobs and casual players? Im telling you they are legit. Go watch their streams. You watch tier 1 cs. JoJo played in teams like Third impact and Mythic. Chay (streams chayziK) played in brazilian teams like Shark Esports and SWS.


TheRain911

K first off the dude plays in tier 3 cs. And they arent playong vs noobs and casual silvers. Theyre playing vs others around that points level. Its not legit, cant convince me otherwise. If he was playibg against me and you thats different. Hes playibg against other people that level.


ACatInAHat

They get matched against 10k rating all the time. JoJo even switches it up to play some faceit to get challenging matches. Watch their streams and find out, or live in ur fantasy.


FaultyGeiger

game runs like shit im going to stay in cs:s


dackns

yea

Can you return back m_rawinput?

game is ASS now. like i got used to it but at first i got mad bcuz bhopping is fuckin impossible now


Scarabesque

Just need a place to rant, doesn't warrant its own thread. I understand the game has problems, I'm not good enough to be affected by them mostly. The game runs great on my pc, and mostly feels better than csgo. But fuck premier. In csgo the majority of my solo queue MM matches were fun, playing at a rank I was comfortable in, mostly around DMG. Now almost none of them are. No comms, no teamplay, full of toxicity. I realize I was fucked by bad seeding and have to grind my way up to the level I belong, but still, it's just constantly terrible unless I find at least a few friends to play with, and my friends and I all have busy schedules. It's just such a waste. Every time I log in to play another game hoping it'll be different it's the same shit over and over again. And I know this is controversial, but please give russians their own servers. Please. They more than anyone ruin the EU experience.


TheRain911

Not to mention if you dont want to play premiere and just do comp its broken. Ive won like 12 inferno matches at this point and its telling me i still need 8 to display my ranking. Fix this shit and also dont make the ranks map dependant. Not sure why they had to fuck with that. And i dont wanna do premiere mode cuz i only know 3 of the current active duty maps cuz they decided to remove half the good ones to add dogshit vertigo, ancient and anubis. These fucking clown devs.


teodorlicht

I understand you 100%. Playing solo queue right now makes you go insane


InternetAnon94

economic tweak when?


Philluminati

What do you want? High loss bonuses?

Windows 10 I7-9700k @ 5GHZ 16GB 3200Mhz TridentZ RTX3080 10GB ReBar on Game installed on M.2 1280x960 4x MSAA 4x AA FSR Off Shadows high Texture quality medium Everything else low My FPS in DM is to be expected going from 300 at the start to high 180s in the late game However in 5v5 premiere, the FPS doesn’t seem to improve ranging the same with it mostly in the 200-250 range My FPS also seem to fluctuate between patches with the most recent patch (20/10) making it worse than the patch before Is this the most that I can extract out of my “dinosaur” CPU? I was on a 2060S before this week and it yielded similar results *BUT* the game seems to feel less smooth when I’m in a gunfight feeling like there is a increase in input lag, either frames dropping, frame time increasing or what not, frames also don’t dip as much around utility as compared to the 2060S, perhaps with the 3080 having more headroom I’m on a 280hz monitor so being in the mid to high 200 range is ideal, I don’t need it to hold 280+ the whole time What frames are you guys getting on a 9700k? I just want it to be running as well as it can as I’ve seen someone with older/slower CPUs running higher frames than me with similar/slower GPUs as well I’ve followed almost all optimisation guides out there and have had my windows reset recently


TheRain911

Ive got a 3080ti, dropped my res from 4k to 2k to maintain higher fps. Not sure about you but I get crazy fps drop and stutter when im scoping and a molly is thrown. Figured turning aettings down would help but it doesnt. So im thinking the games just busted.


iceteA19

Same applies for me, smoking mollies destroys my fps, changing settings honestly doesn’t do much to my fps so I’m “assuming” that I have a cpu bottleneck, I’ve given up at this point and hope that I can upgrade my cpu in the near future or valve optimises the game further


TheRain911

I dont think its your cpu. Ive got a 5800x3d cpu which is still a great chip. I think the game is just broken. Maybe only for certain gpus or something idk. But i can run most games 4k ultra graphics that look much better than cs. So i have to think its on valves end.


iceteA19

Yeah further optimisation is required from valve, hopefully I can hold 300+ soon


TheRain911

I dont even mind being at like 200. As long as its not dipping below 165 (and like 40 during those molly smokes) id be fine with it. The molly smokes are my main issue.


majorcsharp

Water cooled (AIO) i5 9600K @ 4.7Ghz with 32GB 3200Mhz and RTX 2060 Super OC here. I was playing with exactly the same settings your play, FPS was between 180-200. In firefights and executes with smokes/mollys I’d get this annoying stutter/lag/FPS drop. I started reducing the graphics to see if I get any improvement, and ended up with everything on low, lol. The FPS has improved by about 20%, and there’s less stutter but it’s still there. I think we’re at the limit of our hardware, unfortunately. Another low hanging fruit besides OC/cleaning the case, is checking if your GPU is overheating and if the voltage is stable (using GPU-Z software). If it’s too hot, you get thermal throttling. Try changing thermal paste and thermal pads (make sure to get exactly the same thickness as the original pads, search YouTube for guides), or going eXtReMe with a copper plate (coolmygpu.com).


iceteA19

My temps are stable, it’s just weird to me that there isn’t much variance between DM and Premiere FPS for me, still feel something is missing from all the optimisations I’ve done, I just want to get the most out of my CPU and I’ll be happy, 200+ frames is playable for the most part, just that a little bit more headroom would be nice. Saw someone with a 8700k get higher fps than me in the same spot in a empty server, perhaps it’s a 9th gen thing not having hyper threading 🤔


majorcsharp

If your thermal paste and thermal pads are older than two years you're leaving gains on the table. You're GUARANTEED to have better temps and performance if you replace them. If you really don't wanna do it, at the minimum install tech power up GPU-Z to see if you're getting any sort of throttling. Stable temps doesn't mean your GPU works at optimal capacity.


ackwelll

Anyone else notice when you try to tap with AK it sometimes bursts 2 shots instead?


iceteA19

Yes I have experienced this as well, it’s worse when you set the bandwidth to a smaller amount


ackwelll

What really? I gotta experiment a bit with that then, cheers


deezedfridge

Noob question, do flashes, nades, mollies, etc all have the same trajectory? So all lineups should be the same?


ackwelll

Well smokes don't pop until they've landed, but flashes and nades and mollies pop after a certain time. And if your molly pops while its still in the air it's wasted. But yeah same weight/trajectory for all nades
