Have Downloaded CS2, Not opening for some reason

[Darthkaechi]

For some reason, I have CS2 downloaded, I got the invite, have CS2 in my DLC And everything, it's not opening though, when I check the box to open CS2, and not CSGO, it puts the "Stop" over csgo in steam, but doesn't open it, then it doesn't open, and then it "Closes" and give me the option to open it again.

Same problem

[what']

library - general - in the startup parameters, select "Play Counter-Strike 2" - and launch the game from the library. everything works for me. I wish you good luck

[Sean Gyl]

sorry can you extend your description as i don't know what you mean by "general"
I mean i always tried to launch CS:GO in he library and a new windows pops-up asking me if i want to play CS GO or CS 2

Apparently I didn't fully understand you. I apologize.
Try to check the box when choosing the version of the game "counter-strike2". So that the game doesn't ask you what exactly you want to run.

[Sean Gyl]

thank you for coming back to me :)
unforunatly it still doesnt work for me

[Peekaboo]

Do you speak japanese?

[Sean Gyl]

Same problem. You can play against bots by opening cs2 exe from its directory at
Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64

But it doesn't let you play online. You can also make it launch through steam by deleting the signatures file in its directory or by running it as admin but both of these also won't let you play online. Hope it gets fixed soon

You can try to update your drivers in hopes of fixing it as it worked for some people after they updated their GPU drivers but it didn't work for me personally.

Maybe try to update your drivers? especially the GPU driver
And is your game able to launch through steam?
You can try putting some of these launch commands but I am not sure if these will work or affect cs2 but these did fix the same problem in csgo for some people

-disable_d3d9ex -windowed -autoconfig

maybe these'll fix your Issue
