CS:GO Map load crash
Okay so, I tried this thread in rapid threads and to no avail I received no help.

when I load up csgo its fine, but when im joining a match upon entry my whole computer crashes.

Now, I know this cant be a hardware issue. my friend can run his at 7fps with a much worse computer. I got it to run one time at around 20-30 fps, completely playable.

I have an integrated graphics card. here is the settings for the 3D portion.


The "enable software processing" option under the Vertex processing tab changes depending on the game. For example, on RoboCraft the shaders will completely mess up with it set to "enable software processing", however, if "enable software processing" is on, hitman absolution displays HUD and other overlays (menu screens, certain textures etc.)
I wouldn't rule out hardware issues completely just because you've "ran it once at 30fps" and because your friend can run it with a worse rig. Couldn't tell you much without knowing more about your system and what type of crash you have. You're probably better off posting a support ticket to Steam or going to a CS:GO forum given that they're going to likely have helped people with similar issues as to what you're having.

I've had a few friends with a similar issue, and the only solution that they've given me is to re-install CS:GO. It hasn't worked for all of them though.

After looking through google it seems that it's a very prevalent problem with tons of different solutions that don't work for everyone.

Some solutions I've found:

Try typing this in console:

" cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 "

that has seemed to work for a few.

If that doesn't I would recommend reinstalling the game.

Ok guys, i think i fixed it. I don't know if it works for everyone but give it a try regardless.

Go on your Counter Strike Global Offensive folder and go to the cfg folder(specifically: CProgram Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg) and search for the video.txt file.

When there search for a "settings.mem_level" thingie. On it's right should be a number, try setting it to 0. It stopped all the crashes between map loads and skin related bugs.

Hope it helps


If none of those work, try searching through google some more.
