Possible fix for CSGO Crashing/Freezing/Black Screen!

[D0DG3R]

PLEASE READ - WARNING:

This might actually work for you but people have stated that it can still crash their game throughout playing, Its at your OWN RISK if you decide to play Match Making due to the fact I've told you possible crashing is still a factor and any Cooldown ban you gain is at your own cost, obviously I hope the game runs perfectly and without crashes but be warned.

If you have been a naughty player and get cool downs of 7 days, please don't play competitive until you are fully satisfied with the results of the fix (if it works) Go play Death Match or Casual for an hour or two until you are completely sure it'll not crash/freeze.

Hopefully Valve will release an update which will fix the ever so horrible issues that have been caused by the Update from [- 01/04/2015 -] which are FPS Drops, Unloadable game, Game Crashing/Game Freezing.



FIX:

Locate "\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo.exe" and right click the file and goto properties, once in properties UNCHECK 'Run As Administrator' and also UNCHECK 'Compatibility Mode' and then press 'Apply' then click 'OK'.

Proceed with loading Steam and selecting Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and press Play, Hopefully this has fixed the current update bug that has caused it to crash/freeze.



FIX 2:

A user called gruhl on a different Topic who has the same issue posted the following:

Go to your CS:GO folder, find csgo.exe (the application which starts the game) and DELETE this app. Then go to steam library - Right click CSGO - Go to properties - Local files - Verify integrity of Game Cache. When it's done you will get new csgo.exe file. Then right click on this new csgo application - Properties - Compatibility, and UNCHECK everything.
Go to Library - CS:GO - Properties - Set launch Options - cl_disablehtmlmotd 1
Then run the game from steam and check if it helps.

Posted on another thread by the user Lurd Veeder

1. Open your Steam library
2. Search for CS:GO and right click on it
3. Select properties
4. Here select "Launch options"
5. and type in "-autoconfig"
6. Launch CSGO.



CSGO.exe has stopped working

1: Move out your cfg folder that is located at:
Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg

2: Start your game and configure your game settings back to normal and thats it.

CSGO.exe has stopped working - Alternative

1: Go to the following location:
Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg

2: Search and remove the file called "valve.rc" from within the cfg folder and delete or move that file from the cfg folder.

3: Load CSGO and play.

Note:

Do not "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE" after removing the full cfg folder or "valve.rc" file as it will only be re-downloaded causing the fix to not work.

Only Verify if you really need to but remember that if you do, you'll have to complete the following fix again, which only takes a few minutes.



Razer Synapse
Razer Synapse is our unified configuration software that allows you to rebind controls or assign macros to any of your Razer peripherals and saves all your settings automatically to the cloud. No more tedious device configurations when you arrive at LAN parties or tourneys, as you can pull them from the cloud, and get owning right away.

With that said, a user under the name of liydah Said that closing Razer Synapse has helped fix their problem with CSGO.
It's a quick and easy thing to do for those users having CSGO problems with that specific mouse/software.


Intel Laptop Problems/Display Adapter/Vertex Processing

A user under the name of jediking2000 discovered a fix for their laptop which made loading/playing impossible but fixed it after downloading Intel Display Adapter Management Tool[drive.google.com] and then changing a settings to Hardware Vertex Processing


Laptop FREEZE with soundlooping and BLACKSCREEN

A user under the name of
☣DybbuK☣ discovered a fix for their laptop that caused freezing and sound looping, follow the steps below to a possible fix.

1. I have Bit Defender antivirus. This antivirus has one feature called ''Intrusion Detection'' which blocks the installation of some ".dll files" or they may not work properly. As I read on the net this feature EXISTS in other antiviruses too.
2. You must DISABLE this feature completely.
3. After u disable it, Re-Install the Graphics drivers you use for your Laptop/PC. ( Clean install or use DDU )
4. After that, Un-Install Steam completely, Redownload it and install it again. Install from the beginning all your favourite games.
5. Launch CS:GO and have fun.

-> Do NOT enable the ''Intrusion Detection'' feature from your antivirus again.
-> Since I did this fix, I tested it during 5 competitive matches & never freezed or black screen again.
