Troubleshooting
Menu not visible
Switch CS2 from Fullscreen to Fullscreen Windowed.
Loader crashes without an error
Synchronize your Windows time (time.windows.com, time.cloudflare.com or time.nist.gov). If that does not help, install vc_redist and the DirectX runtime and restart your PC.
"Conflicting anticheat present"
Remove Vanguard, FACEIT or any other anti-cheat and any antivirus (especially Norton and AVG) via Control Panel, then restart. To stop them only until the next reboot, run sc stop faceit, or sc stop vgc and sc stop vgk for Vanguard, in CMD as Administrator.
"Please disable driver blocklist"
Open Windows Security → Device Security → Core isolation details and turn off Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist, Memory integrity and Local Security Authority protection. Restart your PC.
Loader loads forever / server error / connection error
Make sure your subscription is active and not frozen, download the loader again, and try with and without a VPN. Remove any installed antivirus (ESET NOD32 is a confirmed cause) and restart.
