Increased Stability (32-bit Operating Systems)
- CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.
- The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.
setting.mem_level[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\csgo\cfg\
- Open
video.txt .
- Find
setting.mem_level and replace "1" with "0"
- Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.
Notes
- Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.
|
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.
Use the cl_join_advertise 2 command[2]
|
Host 128 tickrate servers
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.

Issues unresolved
Surround sound
- Reportedly other issues with surround sound with the Logitech G35.[5]
- The issue has been reported to Valve in September 23th 2014[6], to this day it still hasn't been fixed. The only workaround is to use CS:GO Community Server Materials Downloader.
Issues fixed
"An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers."

Delete appcache

If you get this error message without have used any 3rd party applications, this quick fix should solve your issue.

appcache .

Game changes microphone gain at launch
Modify configuration file[7]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
config.cfg .
- Find the line
voice_mixer_volume , it should be near the bottom of the file. If the line doesn't exist you may create it.
- Set the value to whatever you prefer your mic volume to be, I set mine to
.5 which translates to 50% gain.
Notes
- Removing the line does not work.
- This will set a fixed value, and might not be a solution for people who are using dynamic gain which Windows (or other applications) automatically adjusts.
|
Disable exclusive control of microphone (Windows)[8]
|
- Right click on the speaker icon located at the tray bar.
- Select Recording devices.
- Double click on your microphone in the newly opened window.
- Go to Advanced and untick Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.
Notes
- Most applications ignores this, and many users are reporting that it isn't working.
|
Game crashes without error message when loading into a server
Reduce in-game resolution[citation needed]
|
- Before joining a server, set your resolution in-game down to the next lowest setting (e.g, if you're running 1920x1080, go down to 1776x768).
- Once you get in, set your game resolution back to whatever you normally use. You don't need to use this workaround again until you restart the game.
|
Failed to find and connect to an acceptable dedicated server
Windows Firewall[citation needed]
|
- Open the firewall and enable the following:
- steaminstall
- steam
- hl
- hl2
- steamTmp
- csgo
|
Adjust your maximum acceptable ping to official servers[citation needed]
|
- Type
mm_dedicated_search_maxping "150" in your game console.
Notes
