So, your CS:GO's stuck at 'Initializing World,' huh? Been there, my friend. Here's what worked for me: Restart Steam first. Sometimes it's just a hiccup that needs a reset. If that doesn't cut it, try verifying the integrity of game files in Steam. Right-click CS:GO in your library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and hit 'Verify integrity of game files.' Steam will fix any corrupted files for you. If you're still staring at that screen, check your firewall and antivirus settings. They might be too overprotective and stopping CS:GO from loading properly. Last resort? Reinstall the game. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get back into the action.

Just restart your computer. CS:GO can be quirky sometimes and a quick reboot might just do the trick!

I had this issue last week! Turns out my antivirus was blocking CS:GO. I added an exception for it in my antivirus settings and voila, problem solved. Worth checking if you've got stringent security settings.
