Cant play cs:go

[qwertyu8]

everytime time i start the game from steam it go to a black screen. the only way to get in is to cntrl alt delt back to desktop then click on cs icon in the task back. then when i go to play an online match it closes out back to steam and says. error game is already running. wtf! it doesnt happen every time though. like 1/10 it will work. i have reinstalled steam completely and the game to. i have win 8 and i feel like that could be the problem. any guesses or advice?

Verify the game cache.

Highlight game -> Right click -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game cache...

The only answer is that you have some prejudice issues towards 8. Let me tell you this, Windows 8 is 100% fully compatible with Windows 7 certified software (minus some of the drivers obviously)

@OP: Go to your Steam library, right click on CS:GO>Properties>Set launch options and then type in:
-window

If this doesn't work then you should update your graphics drivers.

no for the first option and i have a beta nvidea driver. 310.67. im downloading the 306.97 right now and ill tell you if that helped. i just got one match of cs:go before it said game stopped running bs

Hi

I sell both 7 and 8 in my shops...

The only prejudice I have against 8 (apart from its general awfulness -IMHO) is the number of people coming into my shops with 8 AND GAMING PROBLEMS...

If you seriously think it hasn't any then just search this Forum...

All the best Brett

hey, dont be fighting about OS'es. not on this thread at least. there both good. here is a pic of what it says when i get kicked out of cs:go...

 

[qwertyu8]

it will sometimes say this or a windows message will pop up and say program stopped running, or sometimes nothing at all. i would upload a video of this but win8 inst compatible with fraps on recording desktop yet.

oh and i did the driver update and it obviously did nothing. thanks for the help so far.

i figured it out.it was my msi afterburner that was messing it up. to fix i just quit the program and there you have it. its not win 8 or anything of that sort.
