CS:GO artifacts/graphics glitches

[genghisquan]

 

Above is an example of a graphics bug that happens once in a while when I join a game.

I'm not entirely sure why it happens because last night I played an entire match without any problems at all.

I can run around and play the game as usual, but these map textures are flickering on and off.

I can see thru some parts of the map during this flickering of doors, walls, objects, etc.

Below are two more images that demonstrate the flickering of these map elements.

Google to see if other people are having the same problem, I had something that looked almost identical when playing Minecraft, turned out it was a bug with the game's rendering engine that appeared after an update.

Off topic, holy shit you are a good artist.

Tried verifying the game's cache?

delete the CS:GO folder from Steam, redownload.

It seems it's a texture problem. Also, you could try lowering the graphics and/or removing GPU OC (if any)

Delete the game folder in your steamapps/common folder, and then press verify game cache in Steam. I had similar problems and that fixed it for me. If that still doesn't fix it I'd suggest reinstalling your GPU drivers completely and wiping it's settings (clean install).

Hey, thanks for the compliment!

Thanks for this suggestion. Is there a difference between doing this and deleting the entire game and reinstalling?

Sometimes the Steam uninstaller doesn't remove every single file, especially custom files tend to stay on your disk.

Deleted the folder & reinstalled. Loaded up an offline server with bots for about 40 minutes, and everything seems fine. Will report back if it glitches again.
