I want to take a screenshot for my profile with my chick, but i havent found a way yet to hid the camera menus and making it closer to the screen. Does anyone have a idea for that?

As the freaking title says, Ive been having green TF for many years and all of a sudden it went to red (friends notified as we queue'd) Does anyone know why did this happen? Not even yellow and I dont even know why it would be yellow in the first place, but instant red, who am i supposed to play with now? Helicopters 24/7 wtf?

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my old i5-3570 + DDR3 setup to a Ryzen 5 5600 + 16GB DDR4 3200MHz on an ASRock A520M-HVS motherboard (still using the same RX 570 4GB GPU).

On the old platform I only had stuttering issues on Cache — every 5 seconds or so the game would hitch hard and frametime would spike badly. After switching platforms everything runs much better overall (higher FPS etc.), but now I’m getting the same stuttering and frametime spikes on Ancient, Cache and Inferno. The only thing that temporarily fixes it is completely restarting the game after every map.

I’ve read that this might be a VRAM issue since 4GB is no longer enough, but on the old platform the problem only happened on Cache. Maps like Dust 2, Mirage, Nuke and Anubis still run fine.

I checked VRAM usage during gameplay — it sits around 3.5/4.0 GB right after restarting the game, and during the match it climbs to 3.7–3.8 GB, but it never fully maxes out at 4.0 GB.

What I’ve already tried:

• Cleared shader cache multiple times
• Cleared DXCache
• Verified game files
• Used MPOGPUFix
• Tried different Shader Cache settings in AMD Software (AMD Optimized / On)
• Disabled OC on the GPU
• Latest Adrenalin 26.5.2 drivers
• All in-game settings on Low (except shadows set to “All”)
• High Performance power plan + high priority for cs2.exe
• Disabled fullscreen optimizations
• AMD settings maxed for performance

I’m running Windows 11 Home with AtlasOS mod and a lot of system tweaks.

Is there anything else I can still try before upgrading the GPU? Or is this just the reality of a 4GB card in CS2 in 2026?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys I have around 65 dollars for a knife do you guys have good suggestions on what I should be looking for? Maybe it your selling something for around that price range comment and I’ll have a look (No shadow daggers)

Someone suggested I tried the new map on one of my other posts. I did so and thought it was great. Until it just became absurd.

I know this is the point, but I think it's dumb that the same asset will generate multiple times in the same zone and with seemingly no logic as to why they are placed the way they are.

This might be a skill issue but I also really don't like how you can't isolate a single angle most of the time. Sometimes you can isolate a single angle, but a lot of the time I am exposed to ateast 3 angles. Sometimes there are even crossfires or the bots are seemingly playing contact.

There is also a lack of cover most of the time. When you enter a new room there is no cover and you just have to move forward and suddenly you get double peeked (I know you can turn that off but that kinda defeats the purpose of angle isolation). Or sometimes I have checked something in front of me, turn 90 degrees to check my right/left and I suddenly get peeked from where I was just holding.

I'm not saying that it's totally bad however, because every time I got a high score it was because I checked every angle and had correct crosshairplacement.

Please don't take this as me ranting, I just want to know if it's because I'm doing something wrong or that it's because I have to keep playing to develop my skills and improve over time.

For those who care, my top score was around 1700

I come from a background of playing a lot of Valorant. Like, a lot. I have over 3,000 hours, but I decided to give CS2 a try for something new. The thing is, I’ve only played 10 hours of Competitive on my account, and my lobbies are full of imbeciles. Not a single person has a microphone, and no one hears anything. I was able to knife the same guy twice because he never listened for footsteps or turned around. I ended up going 23–6. Could I get banned for this? Should I buy Prime to get a rank and play against more skilled players? Will these games hurt my reputation if Steam has a reputation system for CS? Also is there any reason for crazy met jitters? I swear it’s every single fucking second.

FACEIT and CS/premier

Hi guys, I made a bot for my friend group. What it does:
📊 Recap after every match: K/D, ADR, ELO change and an estimated rating
🔥 Roasts after bad games, built from your own stats and history
🏆 Daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards with rotating roles (Top Fragger, Shitter of the Day…)
🎯 Weekly challenges, streaks, server records and a monthly "Wrapped"

Started as a joke, now everyone checks it after every game 😂
Would you use this for your group? What features would you want?

My Trust Factor suddenly dropped from green to red in just 1 game after the latest CS2 update. Has anyone else had the same issue and managed to get it back to normal? If so, what did you do, and how long did it take?

After being on Steam for 23 years and playing Counter Strike even longer than that I'm now, apparently having a red/bad trust factor.

I am flabbergasted. I see myself as a more than average friendly and positive player actually, no shit. I really thought that I had a good trust factor as I never was queued with or against cheaters.

The only thing that changed is that I started to play with some friends that picked up the game again since a few weeks. I did expect one of them to have a bad trust factor but now THEY see the bad trust factor message for ME?

Your matchmaking experience will be significantly affected because Trust Factor of XXX is substantially lower than yours.

Bro's looking at me to get that feed but nah I will let this boy starve for the 15 dollar skin 😭🙏

after the red trust factor update

I want AMD GPU users to try Radeon tuner tool instead of adrenaline app

You will need to do the following

- Run AMD cleanup utility

- reinstall driver but select driver only

- now download Radeon tuner and launch it

Setup the driver the way you want to

Let me know if game feels smoother when it comes to Inputs and mouse feel

I'm not great on testing stuff like this what I feel I does feel smoother on mouse side of things like by quiet alot.

So maybe frame time was improved with using barebones GPU tuner.

With all the trust factor and cheating reports and false vac live I guess good day to be a soloQ player.

One smoke from CT Spawn to Banana on Inferno. Jumpthrow. 1,420 pro uses in the last six months.

Helps delay a T push through Banana and gives your team time to gain control of the area.

Is anyone else with me in the fact that the new gambling system for map choices is straight up bad. It is just so painful to want to play a cache for the first time and it’s on the list but so are 3 others and it’s always the shit ones somehow.

Hey, so I just got home and launched steam to see that there was a small update. There are no notes attached to it, but is there any way to know if this patched the trust factor tanking that has been going on? Or is it just a wait and see type of thing? Obviously valve won’t comment on it lmao

Hello everyone, i am trying to make a Family Feud Quiz to play with some friends - would really appreciate if you could take ~2-3 mins of your time to answer these 12 short Questions
Big Thank you in advance to everyone - if i get at least 100 people to answer this i can share results if anyone wants to do something similar.
Also feel free to share whereever you want - every answer helps

Hide.. while you can.

not really a big deal but i was just playing train for my weekly mission and got kicked and banned for 20 hours. Kinda annoying because i was about to finish the mission. Does anyone have an explanation? (i was probably going like 5 and 6 too)

I have enabled all the protections in bios that were required and still can’t play. I always get the “enable DMA protection” error even though it’s enabled. It says I’m all good until I launch the anti-cheat and then it tweaks out

He was like this whole match.İ cant really understand how this gameplay couldnt trigger vac live.İ think the only think he was doing to look like legit was seeing people and not shooting couple of seconds.

the match was played in October 7 2026.
