CS:GO - No Steam Logon - Crashing To Desktop - No Error/Warning

[chaos]

I will be in a game and my CS:GO client will close/crash straight to the desktop with no error message or anything. The only information I am certain of is the No Steam Logon message that pops into the chat of the server that I crashed from (which I do not see, but players tell me that that's what happens after I crash). This can happen up to 3 times per MM map.

I have read many posts on many forums about people having this issue. Either none of them found a fix, or they did and didn't go back to update their post with it.

Typical things I am doing when the client closes/crashes:

• Shooting weapons (happens most often when I shoot an AWP)
  
• Browsing the market in the STEAM overlay in and out of servers
  
• Most often occurs during match making
  
• Right after the pre-round timer stops and we can move
  
• After all 10 players have accepted and "Let's Roll-oll-CRASH

  I don't know if this is useful, but I can go to GeForce Experience - Event Viewer and there are a few CS:GO errors

  I've lowered all my video settings in hopes of a fix (only in window mode for the screen shot)

I have the same problem man.
I tried lowering the settings and everything. I still can't get it to run steady. It just randomly happens in game. If anyone knows a fix for this please tell me!

I promised myself I would come back and update this if I figured my problem out since so many threads have been abandoned without a fix update.

My Fix:
- I replaced my GTX 650 with a GTX 970 and the crashing stopped..
- I had no reason to suspect it was my 650, only steam games were crashing
- I don't know if it was over heating or some other unknown issue
- I don't know why this caused a "No Steam Logon" message to appear in the server chat


I have read SO MANY posts by other users with VERY similar problems, if not the exact same.. I hope this is a simple (and hopefully cheap) fix for anyone reading this that didn't realize

Hi! Sorry for waking up this thread. I have same problem.

So game just goes straight to desktop without any errors. No idea why.
Ppl i have been playing with says they see when i "leave" from the server. "No steam logon."

This is my setup atm.
GPU-Asus R9 290X DirectCU2 with Accelero IV Extreme cooler
CPU-i7 3770K @4.5GHz
RAM-8GB 1600MHz DDR3
Motherboard-Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z/Gen3
OS-Windows 7 64bit

Atleast pretty new GPU so not gonna buy different, there has to be another way.

Kinda often (not always) like 70% of those crashes happen when i use my USB mic. (Blue Snowball) In game voice chat.

Okay, maybe got it fixed by changing Global Shadow Quality to "Very Low" :)
Will update here more later after more testing. Now one matchmaking without crashes.

Exactly the same thi0ng happening to me now, my OS would just freeze then go into BSOD mode...

My rig- MSI GS60 2QE 616US
Nvidia 970m

No overheating, no signs of any other issue.

Hi man!

This is not happening to me anymore, been a long time so i don't even remember what fixed it, maybe the biggest fix was moving to Windows 10, i don't know, want to help cuz that gave me head ache but sorry can't help more because i can't remember.

Check your graphics drivers that they are not beta ones and get lastest WHQL one and also same thing about Geforce Experience :)
Happy gaming and hope i helped!
