How to Fix CS:GO Out of Range Error

Honestly, just play at 1080p. Most monitors can handle that resolution, and CS:GO doesn't need crazy high res to enjoy it. Plus, you avoid the out of range headache altogether.

Got a CS:GO out of range error? Most times, it's due to your display settings being higher than what your monitor can handle. Try booting the game in windowed mode by adding -windowed or -sw (stands for windowed) to your CS:GO launch options in Steam. This allows you to adjust the resolution in-game to one that your monitor supports. Or, right-click on the desktop, go to Display settings, and adjust your screen's resolution to match the game's.

I had this issue once, drove me nuts! I fixed it by resetting my graphics card settings. If you have NVIDIA or AMD, open their control panel, look for a 'Reset' or 'Restore Defaults' option, and hit that. Fixes a surprising amount of problems without having to tinker with game files.

RefreshRateMaster

Another quick fix for the CS:GO out of range error is to change your monitor's refresh rate. Sometimes games try to run at a higher Hz than your monitor supports. Go into your display settings on Windows, find 'Advanced display settings,' click on 'Display adapter properties,' and then go to the 'Monitor' tab. Here, you can set the refresh rate that matches your game's requirements.
