CSGO wont launch

[Aarondkiller]

so i was playing CSGO today and it was working fine.. then i went back on later after closing the game and it said i have some corrupt game files.. So i closed the game again and i verifyed integrity of game cache ..launched the game and it closed straight away but my friends said it pops up that i am playing csgo for that brief second.. lastly i deleted csgo and downloaded the hole thing again.. but it is still not working

you don't delete it! You uninstall! If not you have polenty of other filoes scattered arround on your computer. So do that this time, then install.

i meant to say i deleted through steam ..

Yeah... You should have just kept it to the deleated the main files part... Deleting it from the steam library is literally just deleting a shortcut.

No, it's not. "Delete local game files" via STEAM performs a proper uninstall.

Yeah, but that is "delete local game files" not deletingjust the shortcut in your library, it all depends on what the poster did.

i did  delete local game files via steam

[mythicalbeast]

Ok, I can't help you then. I actually have the exact same problem with GTA IV, I baught it at the last years summer sale, and have never been able to play it it allways crashes at launch and NOTHING helps... So you might just be f**ked

The only way to delete the shortcut in your library is by selecting "Delete Local Game Files". Please know what you are talking about before posting.

OP, can you launch any other games? Specifically other Source engine games?

Oh really? That's interesting. I can remember having about 15-20 games unlinked from my steam library half a year ago, resulting in me having to manualy uninstall them for so to reinstall them for them to come back into my steam library. Or was that just a dream?

other games work

A dream, or you did something wrong at some point. Right click any game in your STEAM library, there is no delete option other than "Delete Local Content".

 

other games work

Next step is to reinstall your drivers.

i did delete through the steam "Delete Local Content"... ill reinstall non beta drivers maybe that will work

You do realize that I was extreamilly sarcastic right? (And yes, obviously I did something wrong, I know that, I didn't want to reinstall 15-20 games )

It's possible that your resolution settings were altered somehow. If you can find out how to change them without launching the game (a quick Google search should tell you how) and set your resolution back to native, you might be able to run it. Happens all the time for me.
