CS2 Freezing mid game play

[Būll1tt]

Anyone experiencing CS2 freezing mid game on "casual" modes? Yet "practice" mode works fine?
The freezes are really random, but I hardly make it a complete match and have to taskkill CS2.
CSGO gave me no issues whatsoever.
Any info on what might be the root cause and possible remedy? The CS2 tech team can't help and pushed me here :(
Machine specs:
CPU i3-3750
16GB RAM
Storage is SSD
Graphics is Radeon 590 (fatboy)
Net speed is 100Mbps up and down.

Sorry to say it, but those specs are really poor. I'm not sure there's much you can do at this point outside of setting everything to low, play on a low resolution and hope... if that doesn't work, you probably need to update your machine.

my friend had the same issue, maybe you need to upgrade your pc

this is happening since cs2 launch, its not your pc, its game fault but for some reason valve doesnt want to fix it. your not the only one

low-spec pc doesnt make games crash ... i don't know why people keep thinking that.
just like having low-spec engine in ferrari doesn't make it crash randomly, it will drive just fine, only slower.

crashes are caused by poor software config or faulty hardware (faulty, not old).

[Whatchu talkin' 'bout?]

The problem isn't with you. The problem is with the valve.

An under-spec pc with a properly optimised game will have the game running slower either at a reduced internal speed or a lower framerate, it's explicitly obvious to anyone who's been in this hobby for over 15 years and hasn't always had the best or even an average rig.

Anyone who has also done benchmarking and has tested computers at a level of their experience giving a position of authority to them will tell you this very thing.

I never understood the idea that games run perfectly well all the time, anybody who has bought a really bad car will know that some cars aren't well designed or made, and other cars are just really run down and in need of fine-tuning or general maintenance, same goes for computers, but the same explicitly applies to games (look at Yandere Sim vs Lovesick or Garten of Banban vs UniqueGeese's recreation of Garten of Banban) as we can most likely look back in time nad look at numerous cases of say... Cyberpunk being badly optimsed, running terribly on modern hardware, crashing, etc. And now it runs spectacularly (but still crashes on select hardware configs).

It's very obvious that games are being less optimized because people think that they can throw a graphics library, hastily stitch it in and it'll work without issues when realistically you are explicitly better off making a graphics library from scratch as, more often than not, it Just runs better every time you make something anyone puts up with for 5+ hours.

no matter how many machines u have benchmarked and tested, it won't make u an expert, unless u really tried to figure out, understand the root and fix the problem, and also we're not talking about fps right here, that specs is fine, it still shouldn't encounter freezes, the issue is caused by valve's anticheat, I have no issues in offline games which anticheat does nothing, but online games, as well as people with highend cpu and gpu(12900k/7800x3d, 7900xtx/3080 for example, u can see them on reddit

Crashing on i7 6700k with gtx 1080ti and also crashing on adifferent computer with a ryzen 7700x with 4070. Trash game + i have fps drops from 700 fps to 50

[Heal*Off]

Game is trash as a volvo

Yes I experienced that, but when I added threads commands (using full cpu threads) and running the game on nvme, for now I didn't notice it yet again.

same, and there's still no fix, -threads "X" didn't help either

every other game and editing task i do i have no issue at all. i played mk11 8 hrs 4k max settings while streaming and no problem. cs2 though i have random freezing, game randomly closes its self, sometimes my pc feels like resetting its self. this could happen many times in an hour or 2 then run sweet for 7hrs. also upon reopening the game when i encounter nades or other players the game stutters for a second or 2 which totally sucks but after a bit of that its all smooth 250-400fps.

iv benchmarked stress tested checked all temps and power draw all are fine no issues. i did also have very rare crashes in csgo. i think its something to do with the games engine source/source 2 thats causing the issue. i dont have new half life to test but does anyone have new half life with source2 engine to see if they have same problem ?

valve are useless when asking for help as they want you to replicate the problem... .ugh how to replicate a random crash.... they SERIOUSLY need to have a log file so it WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY what happened and then they can ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FIX IT

but any idea in mean time im all ears and eyes

Fighting games are actually one of the best optimised games on the gaming market rn,even the graphically pleasing looking Tekken 7 will run high 75fps on my beater rx460 just ok
