In case you encounter a VAC verification issue.

  • Steam -> CSGO -> properties -> betas (chose the newest one “1.38.3.6 - 1.38.3.6”) if no download happens, choose demo.
  • launch the game. Since I chose demo, I couldn’t launch the game.
  • close the game
  • Steam -> CSGO -> properties -> betas (chose the actual patch “NONE”) That works for me, hope it will work for you too! 🙂

    Unless it’s gone by a simple restart of the game, the only thing to have ever reliably worked for me and my friends is a reinstall of the game. Consistently so, that by now, we just don’t try anything else anymore and jump directly to the reinstall.

    Is this method (much) faster?

      I tried that too and it didn’t work.

      Its smaller I believe, in size. 13GB?

        Hm… Strange that a fresh reinstall did not work for you. 13GB seems about the same ballpark as the normal client, IIRC.

          Yeah, no idea. It was a new PC and fresh install too…
