CS GO not working on XP again after patch

[mudd]

An error occured while updating counter-strike global offensive (invalid platform)

[Satoru]

XP is unsupported

Get on a supported platform

[Cathulhu]

Get a supported OS, something from the last decade will do.
Valve changed some elemental features of the game to improve it. Those improvements broke the game on XP, which has been unsupported for quite a while.

People still use XP? No but seriously though, XP isn't exactly seen by many developers as a minimum OS anymore so it's time for you to upgrade...

[Satoru]

Even Vista is off support

You might as well Be whining about MS DOS

According to the Steam statistics about 0,89% of Steam users use Windows XP.
Based on the current amount of users online, that means about 114k users are currently online using Windows XP.

And it will sometimes be returned that CSGO will be able to play on Windows XP

[mudd]

read the minimum requirements for CS GO before u talk. XP is stil listed. tens of thousands of cs players are on XP

[mudd]

stop trolling support forums and post here if you have the problem

microsoft issued an update for all windows OSes for the "wanna cryptor hack" and that messed up cs:go. the devs are working on patching that.

As far as the store page, yes, you are right. XP is still listed. Sometimes, they need to update store page system requirements after a change though. I cannot say that is the case here, but just letting you know.

[Cathulhu]

I want a source for that statement.

Which has nothing in common. There is no confirmation, or denial that the Windows XP update caused the error.
That's just an assumption.

This is not an official Microsoft link, but from BleepingComputer......

Still says nothing about the patch causing any issues with the game. That's still just an assumption.
It's more likely that the CS:GO update itself caused the issue, not the update for XP.
