[John Marston]

I have a problem with my CS2 when i start game it just don't start i have this blue circle next to my cursor and than it disappears. Anyone know how to fix that ?

In my case there is such a problem that when I start the game it shows me the message:

Unable to load module "engine2"
Error: (0xc000001d) [Failed to Resolve Error Code.] [/b]

Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it? Unfortunately, there is no specific information on the Internet about how to solve this problem.

I will immediately indicate that I am a Windows 7 user!!!

First of all, I want to say thanks to https://steamcommunity.com/id/strfxr for providing a solution to the problem, a link to the original discussion with his comment - https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/3821914054520683076/?ctp=5

So, the problem is that the game simply does not start from steam, crashes without errors. Also, if you run cs2 via the executable file, it will launch the game in insecure mode and will not give you the opportunity to play online, so forget about this option. This method is intended for those who have lags when entering the -vulkan launch option, although it may work in other cases. On my computer there is a bunch of r5 3600 and rtx 2060 (the driver version can be any), windows 10 22h2. Everything worked for me. So, the method itself:
Open Powershell as an administrator and enter the following 2 commands there:

dir "$env:systemroot\system32\driverstore\filerepository\*NvCameraEnable.exe" -rec |% {& "$_" off}

dir "$env:programfiles\nvidia corporation\*NvCameraEnable.exe" -rec |% {& "$_" off}

This should work, but if you still have problems, try the following:
1. Check the integrity of the game cache
2. Check that there are no viruses/other things on your PC that can interfere with the game process
3. Try to update the video driver
4. Check your OS for updates
5. Try to run the game in compatibility mode with your version of windows

I hope these tips will help you solve the problem with launching cs2, also, you can write in the comments your options for solving problems that were not solved thanks to the method above.

Guys try to watch this vídeo, worked fine for me

[76561199190696169]

Hey...i have an i5 laptop with 16 gigs ram and 2gb nvidia igpu..
The thing is i was playing and it went well for 2-3 days...yesterday it suddenly happened..the game fully hung and displayed some cryptic code with only an "ok" button...which i cudnt click since it went irresponsive.
So i "alt+f4" closed it(cuz no mouse clicks seemed to work inside the game windowand it fully hung)
Then again in the evening i opened (i let the "procesing vulkan shaderes" thing finish, and started playing...went well for half a game..and again it happened.
Kindly lemme know if theres a fix
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04LTS
