How to Fix CS:GO Fatal Error
Best answer

The classic 'turn it off and on again' method surprisingly works wonders with the CS:GO fatal error. Try restarting your computer and then launching the game. If that doesn't do the trick, verify the integrity of game files on Steam. Right-click CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and click 'Verify integrity of game files.' Steam will fix any corrupted files causing the error.

Just update your drivers, especially the graphics card driver. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of chaos with games like CS:GO. Hit up your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and grab the latest drivers. It's a simple fix but works like a charm for a lot of people.

Lower your in-game video settings. I had this fatal error nightmare until I lowered my settings. It seems like my PC just couldn't handle the high graphics demand. Worth a shot if your rig is on the older side!

Reinstall the game. If nothing else works, it's the nuclear option, but it's effective. Just make sure to backup your configs and maps if you customized anything.
