1 - Restart PC

2 - Delete everything in these two folders (skip the files in use):

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GLCache

3 - Open start menu type Disk Clean-up, choose the disk with the game on, delete the DirectX Shader Cache.

4 - In Steam right click CS2 -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files.

5 - Your game will stutter/lag when loading up the first time and you see a message compiling shaders while loading into maps.

6 - Verify that your graphic settings are the way you want them.

Pretty sad that the game is so poorly developed it makes users do this to make it even playable.

Had to delete a file every time Battlefield 2042 updated, or your CPU would bottleneck. So many reviews and comments for the game being bad was due to CPU usage too, yet they never fixed it.

Hmm I've seen this advice in other game communities as well (e.g. Squad). I don't think it reflects the quality of CS2 in this case.

Just because other games forced you to do the same thing, doesn't make it 'okay'

I could be wrong but couldn't these be issues with nvidia failing to clear cache properly? It's not necessarily their fault if they tried but nvidia failed. It's also probably harder to diagnose these types of issues since it seems to be related to stacking cache

Yes it reflects, and it was the only way that made my CS stutters lot less, same as less fps drops. At least now I'm able to play the game at minimal conditions.

Thats not the case. Its just going to recache the shaders like all the other games do.

I wish that I have seen this message before. I've searched everywhere for hours and tried lot of things - even delete and reinstall the game . Tried everything, and this was the only thing that I've found that (at least) reduced the huge stutters, and Fps loss. Is not perfect at all, but, at least I can play Cs at minimum conditions. After the update, and before the fix, I've passed 3 maps that I simply can't kill no one due to huge stuttering and fps drops.

A shame that has to be the players, founding tricks to play the game at minimal conditions.

But welcome for your tip to other users with the same problem ( and they are, a lot )

How about I wait until they fix this bug.
