The game a legit copy, this issue started with this recent update, before it was fine and no issues, I have 1 main HD connected(inside the computer), and a 1TB USB backup drive, but that one doesn't have a OP system on it, and using win10

I meant is windows a legit copy?

but since it started with the most recent update, Id have to guess its that. Many people are having a problem with the last update. Its a damn shame they are gone for a month.

Is your harddrive formatted for NTFS? Is it even formatted at all?

What are you even talking about? Sounds to me like you're just making things up.

This seems like a problem I would have had 15 or 20 years ago because I was always f’ing around with stuff and wound up with unreliable, unstable gear. Nothing wrong with it. It’s how we learn. But, now I enjoy buying and building for stability. This box of electrons barely works and I’m not going to screw with anything that could make it worse.

it's definitely weird - and usually FAT32 related.
On FAT32 filesystems the max filesize is 4 GByte.
This limitation does not exist on exFat and NTFS.

Some CS2 files are way larger than 4 GByte, so my personal guess is: Your partition where you try to install CS2 is formatted in FAT32, that's why it cannot be installed.

I think Windows requires NTFS these days anyway.
