"CS GO" is the most popular multi-player team shooter of our time. Therefore, every gamer either already plays it, or wants to play. The fact is that it offers excellent opportunities for team play, as well as a wide selection, excellent graphics and mechanics, but most importantly - nostalgia for "CS 1.6", for which many spent their childhood and youth. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that periodically there are messages that someone was unable to connect to the game "CS GO". What could be the problem?
Check cache integrity
If you have this game on your computer, then there is practically no doubt: it is installed in your Steam and it is through it that you play. But what to do if you are not able to connect to the game "CS GO", no matter how hard you try? Error messages pop up, nothing happens or the computer freezes during the boot process - all this means that something is wrong with the game or your computer, so you will need to think about the reasons.
First of all, you need to visit your own Steam library and find "CS GO" there. Right-click on the game itself and select the "Properties" item in the drop-down menu. You will be taken to the properties window, where you need to select the “Local files” tab - this is where the button will be, allowing you to check the integrity of the game cache. What does it mean? Just that each game has a specific number of files that must be in a certain state for the game to start. Steam knows all this, and if you run such a check, it searches for all inconsistencies with ideal conditions and eliminates them, replacing corrupted or lost files. So if you were not able to connect to the game "CS GO", you definitely need to check the game cache, this may be the problem.
Russian characters
However, this is not the only possible reason. It is likely that your computer could not connect to the game "CS GO" because of something else. For example, the reason may be hidden in the characters that are present in the folder names on the way to the game. The fact is that modern computer games often conflict with Russian letters in the names of folders, as well as in the name of the system profile. So if you have problems launching "CS GO", then change the folder names. For example, often people install something in the “Games” folder, and it’s better to call this folder “Games”, as this will increase the chance that many games will start on the first try. But what if you still can’t connect to the game "CS GO"?
Software check
If you can’t connect to the game "CS GO", then you should definitely check out all the necessary software for games on your computer. It’s worth starting, of course, with the drivers for the video card, since many problems often lie precisely in the fact that they are either not installed or are outdated. Well, then, of course, check out a variety of supporting programs, such as DirectX, Microsoft Visual C ++, and so on. All these programs must be installed and updated if you want to run "CS GO" and other games on your computer.
