How to fix the D3D device error in CS:GO
Best answer

Honestly, just restart your computer and CS:GO. It sounds too simple to be true, but sometimes the oldest tricks work the best. If that doesn't help, verify the integrity of the game files on Steam. Right-click CS:GO in your library, go to Properties > Local Files, and then click 'Verify integrity of game files.' This can fix corrupted or missing files that might be causing the error.

Firstly, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers are often the culprit behind the D3D device error in CS:GO. You can update your drivers through your graphics card's control panel or head over to the manufacturer's website. Also, try adjusting the game's launch options by adding '-dxlevel 81' (without quotes) in Steam. This forces the game to use a lower version of DirectX, which might fix the issue.

I had this error after a CS:GO update once. None of the typical solutions worked for me until I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the game. It was a bit of a hassle, but it finally got rid of the D3D device error. Just make sure to back up your settings and configs before you do this to avoid losing your custom setups.

Just play with your settings, lol. Sometimes switching to windowed mode or adjusting your video settings in-game can do the trick. If not, you might wanna look into getting a new GPU. Sounds drastic, but CS:GO doesn't ask for much, and if you're having this error, it might be time.
