CSGO crashes instantly on startup

SupaTech · October 19, 2019

Hey everyone,

I need some help with CSGO. I've had it running smoothly on my laptop before and after reinstalling Windows 10, Steam and CSGO I get the following problem: After clicking play, it says "CSGO - running" and the game appears for a microsecond and then quits itself and then it's not running anymore .

I've tried:

running in autoconfig mode
running in safe mode
reinstalling CSGO
restarting steam
verifying integrity of game files
running steam as Admin
deleting appcache

I've running custom drivers which are at the latest version. I can run games like GTA fine, but not CSGO .

If anyone could help me I'd be so grateful .

Didnt know custom drivers are still a thing. Try an official driver.

I'm running Bootcamp Windows 10 on my Mac and the official drivers that Apple provides are garbage. So I'm using pretty well-known Bootcampdrivers which are a lot better. I'll try the official drivers as a last resort - it's a pain in the ass to install and stuff. Thanks for the suggestion.
