UPDATE 04|2025 SPRING CLEANING! | Fix all stutter/lag FPS input delay issues !

[.xite~]

Fixed all my CS2 problems by doing the following:


I tried every fix I could find on Reddit, YouTube, TikTok... and I think I finally solved it.

1. Clear Shader Cache
Open the Windows search bar, type "Disk Cleanup", and run it.
Check the box for DirectX Shader Cache and click OK.
Follow the prompts to delete the files.

2. Restart your computer

4. Verify Game Files
Open Steam, right-click on CS2 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
Let that run in the background while doing the next steps.



Optional (but helped me too):
I removed everything from my autoexec, except for my key binds (grenades, etc.).
New location for autoexec:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg

UPDATE !!!!!!!! : Still getting 1% Low FPS drops? Try this!

Force Shader Precompilation via Steam Console:

Step 1: Open the hidden Steam console
This works in any version of Steam:
Copy this: steam://open/console

Paste it into your browser’s address bar (Chrome, Edge, etc.)

Hit enter and allow it to open in Steam
→ The Console tab in Steam should now be open

Step 2: Run the precompilation
In the Steam console, paste this:
shader_build 730
Press Enter.

Then, launch CS2 and run around in a practice match for a few minutes.
Let Steam build your shaders while you grab a coffee or snack.

Enjoy the smoother performance!

Hope this helps others struggling with CS2 like I was. 🙌

Get a slower AMD FX-6300 CPU with a GTX-960 if you want to fix your video settings, My game runs just fine at 60-70 FPS at 1080p settings on "high." Not sure what all you ultra elite pro gamers are complaining about with your $5K computer vs my $500 computer.

Think one of the recent updates have fixed it

This works for me, getting +100 fps more than I usually get but the next day it goes -100 fps again. Repeating the process of deleting the shader cache each day before I play seems kinda weird, anyone else have to do the same?

I uninstalled this garbage game. Probably the first Valve game I ever uninstalled ever. Not because I can't run it but because it literally f u cking sucks. I'm going to stick with CS: Source which is a far better game.

Yup and the game promotes spawn camping, etc

Yeah and no good maps. Most of the CS:GO maps were ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and boring to begin with, CS2 just got rid of the last good maps and Community servers.
Literally almost no reason for us to play that crap anymore. I uninstalled it and will not look back. It's loot box garbage, pay to play competitive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ now.

No thanks and ♥♥♥♥ you Valve you just made the worse Valve game ever.
