How to Fix Your CS:GO if It Keeps Freezing

Lower your graphics settings in-game. Sometimes your hardware struggles to keep up with the game's demands, causing freezes. Try lowering the resolution, texture details, and other fancy effects to see if that stabilizes performance.

First things first, try the classic turn-it-off-and-on-again method. Restart your game and computer. It solves more problems than you'd think! If that doesn't work, verify the integrity of the game files on Steam: right-click CS:GO in your Steam library, go to Properties, then Local Files, and click on 'Verify integrity of game files.' This can fix any corrupt or missing files causing issues.

Running too many background applications can also cause CS:GO to freeze. Try closing unnecessary programs before launching the game to ensure it has all the resources it needs.

Make sure your PC isn't overheating. CS:GO can be demanding, and if your cooling isn't up to snuff, your system might throttle down performance or freeze entirely to save itself from a meltdown. Clean out those fans and maybe invest in some better cooling solutions.
