Why is CS:GO not working?
Best answer
TechNinja44
There could be a few reasons why CS:GO isn't working for you. First off, check if the CS:GO servers are down. Sometimes, maintenance or unexpected issues can cause server downtime. You can check the official CS:GO Twitter account or websites like DownDetector. Next, make sure your internet connection is stable because a flaky connection could be the culprit. Lastly, verify the integrity of game files on Steam: Library > CS:GO > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. Corrupted or missing files often cause launching issues.

Check your firewall and antivirus settings. Sometimes they see CS:GO as a threat and block it. Add CS:GO (and Steam) as exceptions to your antivirus and firewall settings.

Reboot your computer. Sounds silly, but it's tech support 101 for a reason. Fixes more problems than you'd think, especially if CS:GO was working fine before.
ReinstallRick
Honestly, just reinstall the game. If verifying files and checking servers doesn't work, a fresh install might do the trick. It's a pain, but it solves a surprising number of issues.
