Midget Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (I know this might not be the place but, I just want to see if you guys have any advice.) Hey guys. I wanted to see if anyone knows about how to fix my CSGO. Basically what happens is I go to steam, click play to start the game, my steam says I'm playing CSGO, and then the game never launches. Everytime I start my CSGO this happens. This is a serious post so if you have any actual advice to helping me fix this issue so I could play again that would be great. Thanks guys. Link to comment

I know it's basic but have you tried to re-install the game? You might be missing a game file. 1 Link to comment
Midget Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I know it's basic but have you tried to re-install the game? You might be missing a game file. Yeah sorry I forgot to mention this, but yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game a bunch of times and It didn't work. Link to comment
Sho'nuff Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi did you try to verify integrity of game cache? 1 Link to comment
Midget Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi did you try to verify integrity of game cache? I've done that as well. Link to comment
Sunbeh Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've had this problem last month, I think I just kept verifying my cache. 1 Link to comment
XxwonderbredxX Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have the same problem. It's annoying as fuck. It takes minutes for the game to show up on the screen. I uninstalled the game last night and lost all my downloaded matches :'( 1 Link to comment

UnPrePared_ Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Have you tried restarting your computer? Nah just kidding but have you tried to delete the CS:GO directory as well when you reinstalled it ? 1 Link to comment
Comic King Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 have u tried resetting ur pc to a previous date? idk how dat function is called in english, but u can reset ur pc to how it was a couple days weeks earlier. System restore? That could work. Hopefully his PC made a checkpoint for that. What optical was trying to say, go to Control Panel and find System restore. If it isn't there, Google that motherfucker and see how to use it. Credit to optical for the idea 1 Link to comment
Midget Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks for the advice guys, I will try what some of you said and will post the results when I test them out. Thanks everyone. Link to comment

I think I might need to rollback more of them. Link to comment
Midget Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 So after doing a bunch of the things you guys had said, nothing work. I decided to do a little more research and found this: Go to search, type in "msconfig", press enter, press the "Services" tab, press the "Service" heading at the top of the list, scroll down and deselect "Windows Management Instrumentation", press OK and restart your computer. This worked for me. Not sure if what you guys recommended had something to do with it either but, my csgo now works. If anyone has this issue, do the thing I said above and try this: 1. Right click CS:GO.exe in folder 2. Go to properties 3. Go to Compatibility 4. Click "Change Settings for all users" 5. Change it to Windows 7 & check off run as admin 6. Verify integrity of game cache through Steam Library 7. Restart computer 8. Let first time set up & Play Thanks guys for all of the help I really appreciate it. If someone could close this thread because it is no longer needed, that would be fantastic. Thanks again everyone. Link to comment
