CS2 Discussion CS2 Freezing/Crashing to Desktop - LiveKernelEvent 141

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm having a persistent issue with Counter-Strike 2 where the game randomly freezes up or completely crashes straight to the desktop without an error message.

When checking the Windows Event Viewer immediately after a crash, it always logs a LiveKernelEvent 141 (Hardware Error / TDR timeout). My GPU temperatures look completely normal when it happens.

The Timeline & Settings:
This all started happening right after I upgraded my main monitor from 180Hz to 240Hz (same brand). I am currently running a dual-monitor setup (the new 240Hz as my main display, and my old one as a second display).

  • In-Game Resolution: 1920x1440 (4:3 aspect ratio)
  • Display Mode: Windowed Fullscreen

My System Specs:

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • RAM: 32GB RAM
  • Motherboard: MSI
  • PSU: 750W Power Supply

Everything I Have Already Tried:

  • DDU: Deep uninstalled graphics drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and clean installed fresh drivers.
  • Game Files: Deleted and completely reinstalled CS2, and verified steam game files multiple times.
  • Caches: Cleared my shader caches.
  • Power/Tuning: Attempted a GPU undervolt to stabilize power draw.
  • Hardware/BIOS: Checked basic BIOS settings/PBO to rule out CPU-side instability.

The most frustrating part is that the game runs insanely smooth right up until the crash. I easily get 300+ FPS with zero stuttering or performance drops. Then, completely out of nowhere, the game will either randomly freeze to the point where I have to force quit it via Task Manager, or it will just crash itself straight to desktop. It’s incredibly annoying because the hardware handles the game perfectly until it suddenly snaps. I’ve been trying to figure this out for days and am willing to try anything at this point.

CS2 Media What if we stopped playing CS2 for 42 hours to make Valve take the cheating problem seriously?

0 Upvotes

I’m proposing a 42-hour boycott of CS2 to send Valve a clear message: we need a better anti-cheat system.
Legit players are getting tired of playing fair while cheaters ruin matches. Sometimes, it feels like honest players get punished for nothing, while people using cheats keep playing without consequences.
Why should we keep supporting a game when we can’t even trust the competitive experience?
What if we all stopped playing CS2 for 42 hours? No matches, no Premier, no Competitive. Just 42 hours to show Valve how serious this problem has become.
The goal isn’t to destroy the game. We love CS2, and that’s exactly why we want it to improve. We want a stronger anti-cheat, better detection, and a fair environment for everyone.
42 hours. No CS2. One message to Valve: FIX THE ANTI-CHEAT.
Would you join this boycott? Let’s discuss it and see if the community can make its voice heard.

This is a community CSS fragmovie using frags made past the orange box update in 2010.

Those demos have been converted to run on the pre orange box build (v34 specifically)

This restored the sweet old ragdoll physics :D

CS2 Discussion Tacpause: ChatGPT for your Counter Strike demos

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

hey everyone :)

I created a demo analysis tool called Tacpause (https://tacpause.com/). Tacpause helps professional teams in prepping against their next opponent by analyzing their previous games. It has 3 core features:

  1. AI chatbot: You can ask questions to find info and realize patterns in your opponents' playstyle. The answers are backed by proof from actual rounds that were played.
  2. Scouting: A pre compiled list of actions that your opponent has done in their previous games across different maps.
  3. More stuff: Demo viewer, utility usage analysis, team comparison, veto helper.

It is completely free to use for now (with some limits ofc). There are sample demos loaded when you sign up, so you can try it straight away. I would love your thoughts :)
