CS2 crashes without errors

[SubZer0]

I don't know if I'm the only one that has this problem, but my cs crashes without giving errors. I tried a lot of things but none of them have worked. Did anyone have this issue or still has it? I'm way too frustrated because I've got a good pc (i7 13th gen + gtx 3060) and any game I play runs perfectly on ultra without crashes.

[Florian Lutscher oder so]

have the same problem with my GTX 1650.

Mine too

If someone happens to find a solution, let me know, please. It's way too annoying

crashes here too on a 3060.. do you have the latest driver update?

yeah last update is totally broken, i can't even launch the game anymore. i get steamworks SDK error. just made a topic about it aswell.

multi-billion dollar company and all they do is release broken trash ...
about 5 months ago i had that constant crashing issue aswell, cs2 just kept closing without error, it was totally random. sometimes it happened 2-5 times per match, sometimes once a day.

it disappaeared after couple of matches, but got replaced with BSOD crashes instead.
then after couple patches it went back to game closing without error
then again back to BSODs ...
and now i can't even launch the game.

i have NEVER had so many issues with any other game. BeamNG is known to have many bugs and even that doesn't crash like that, it has had some errors on launch and settings resets, but at least when its launched, it works.... but cs2 has been crash after bug after glitch. it's technically 10+ year old game with new graphics and they STILL struggle to make it run properly ... those devs are horrible.

If you overclocked your CPU, lower voltaje, i haved this problem before.

Had the same since the last update, GPU driver update fixed it quickly

I do. That's what's bothering me. Last week I played with a few errors, but this week is completely unplayeable

I'll try this, because I'm running out of ideas

The problem is that I didn't overclock my CPU, so that couldn't be the problem

You can use project lasso and disable hyper threading on cs2.exe as a temporary fix. Disabling hyper threading makes the game only use your CPU's physical cores. Doing this will stop the crashes, but without the CPU being fully utilized your game will have stutters. I've got the same issue, 13900k CPU and 4090 with constant crashes on every map after the update. It seems to be a 13th gen CPU issue. I've run into similar problems with other games that have released new patches recently, and it always points towards being a 13th gen CPU issue. I'm just waiting on Valve's next patch for a fix, but this should let you play temporarily if you can handle the stutters.

Windows has a feature you can turn that off with without 3rd party apps.

Try turning all your settings to low.

I think I've just found the solution.

I found this reddit post and it's fixed my crashing issues in multiple games:

https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1awpon0/is_your_intel_core_i913900k_crashing_in_games/

Long story short, BIOS by default on many motherboards does not automatically input your CPU manufacture's recommended specifications in regards to the power and current limits. Instead, these settings default to either "Automatic" or "Unlimited" which can sometimes cause your CPU to draw too much power and crash your game.

Recommended BIOS power limits and current limit for 13900k:

PL1 (Long Term Turbo Power Limit) - 125

PL2 (Short Term Turbo Power Limit) - 253

ICC(CPU Core/Cache Current Limit) - 307

Adjusting my overclock settings to these values in BIOS has stopped my nonstop crashing in both star citizen and cs2.

According to this additional reddit post, these same specifications should also apply to your CPU:

Hopefully this solves your issue :)
