Black Skins, CS:GO crashing

[Shima33]

Whenever I try to join a new match on CS:GO, the application crashes to the desktop. It doesn't do this on offline mode when I'm playing with bots, but when I do that, all of my weapon skins are black - even for guns that I don't have skins for. Any help?

Try reinstalling your game for the skins, I had a skin glitch just like that and after reinstalling I haven't had a problem. The crashing part, is it when it says 'continue 0:05', if so I have the same problem, so I can't help you with that one :(

When I first got mt laptop back I would have random crashes, after a while I had no probs at all, and now the update has done something to ruin my game because I am back where I started

It's a problem when running the game on a 32-bit OS. CS:GO simply isn't designed with a 32-bit OS in mind any more, and is severely crippled as a result.

I found out what the problem is,
my pc has 8GB of installed memory, but because I am running 32 bit Windows 7, my maximum RAM is limited to 4GB, but limited even further to under 3.5GB, below the minimum amount for CS:GO.
my theory is that the game renders and stores that render information on your RAM while you play, and as more skins are rendered, the more your RAM fills up.
and once it completely fills up, the game cant render and store any more skins, and so it replaces an already rendered skin over the other,
this is what causes the crash, because the game then has to render the skins over and over again, and if it cant,then it will keep trying, and eventually, trying to render the skins over and over again, the game sees that the memory is overloaded and crashes
anyone who is having the same problem with the skins glitching and game crashes needs to either install more ram, or if you are running 32 bit Windows, upgrade to 64 bit.
