Cs:go Black Screen

[Mike20]

Well I decided to buy CS:GO since I need entertainment till CS:S servers populate, the issue is when I start it up, screens, black, no idea why. My computer should EASILY run CS:GO, but I have no idea why it blackscreens, the menu's there just blacked out. I Googled and seems alot had this issue with CS:S( I never have) and can't really find a fix that threads on google suggest. Any ideas?

try putting -novid into your launch options

 

if that doesnt work do the usual verify game integrity & cache etc

I never had to do that. Please explain, all my games had worked up until now...

1. Look for counter strike global offensive in your steam library
   
2. Right click on counter strike global offensive and click on properties
   
3. Under general tab there is an option that says "set launch options.." Double click that and type in -novid
   
4. Launch csgo
   
5. In case that does not work Redo steps 1 and 2 and then go to local files tab
   
6. While in local files tab click on "Verify integrity of game cache..."
   
7. Once its complete relaunch csgo, be aware it may take a while for it to verify.
    
   Hope that helps.

Well thanks for idea, but didn't work :/

[Mike20]

Well, launched it in -safe and it worked, but mini screen :/ on steam forums didnt really explain how to fix after it works in -safe mode lol

Seems to me you have a fragmented game. I suggest redownloading it.

[Mike20]

semi fixed it, enter in safe mode, launch game, cancel safe mode, full screen lol

Whats your graphics card and power supply?

[youthedog]

Update your video card's drivers, put -autoconfig (remove -safe) in your launch options and see what happens. After you start it once, remove it from the launch options.

If that doesn't work, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive and right click csgo.exe and set it to always run as administrator. If that doesn't work, try running it under compatibility mode. Also what's your CPU?

try deleting system32

 

I would just reinstall the game first. If that won't work then update EVERYTHING (windows, cpu driver, gpu driver, etc.) That doesnt work mess with the launch settings above and csgo.exe
