Drop in FPS in Counter Strike 2

I did some research on CS2 and apparently a lot of players are experiencing major performance issues in the game, and everyone is complaining about FPS drops since the last update.

Some players are playing at 300 FPS, and suddenly it drops to 30-60 FPS; simply put, the game is poorly optimized like many games, so we need to wait for an update that will fix the game's performance. Otherwise, you can try another multiplayer game, if there are no issues then it simply comes from CS2.

A player gives a temporary tip that might help play a bit better, let's see if it works.

2nd edit: I found a temporary solution based on some comments below

When it happens, press tab + escape. Then, press escape. Wait for the FPS to return to normal, then press tab and remove the scoreboard. For some reason, opening the scoreboard and entering and leaving the menu resets the FPS. It's not ideal, but it's playable.

Hello "I'm dropping to 90/100" could you see much better at 180/200 when it's considered in the industry that 90/100 is the limit to prove the difference even with a 144hz screen the best is the enemy of the good!!!!

"Donkeys change their minds not fools"
remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that's the case

"Playing in competitions on CS2."

"300 fps"

"But after 5-10 minutes the performance drops."

"Ryzen 7 2700x"

The question is, can you do everything at once for more than 10 minutes and play for 4 or 10 hours at 300 fps with a 2700x, and what motherboard for competitions on CS2.

It's the competition players on CS2 who have the answer if they come here. What equipment do they use to play.

You can do benchmarks and break all records with a machine made for the duration of the benchmark, but which won't last all weekend for gaming.

(That's what we often see for the duration of a video)

Why so much RAM and so many SSDs, maybe in RAID: the fastest stuff, and all the tricks to keep everything in RAM, but only for the duration of a predefined and prepared sequence for this PC and this benchmark, or can you take the time to play the entire game in real time on the same machine?

And there is a graphics card and all the program parts are specific to the game, we don't use them elsewhere most of the time.

When it lasts for a fixed time, you can think about the temperature.

But if at the end of each game it's dead, we've seen players online at the end of the match where the site resets whatever to 0 and they have to set everything back up on their PC.

Hello,

I am on Windows 11, and overnight my PC froze on the desktop, YouTube got stuck, I had to reinstall Windows 11 and my problems disappeared.

I looked at comments from other people, it was coming from Windows with FPS drops once Windows was reinstalled, there were no more FPS drops. I see that you reinstalled Windows, did you format your hard drive beforehand or delete and recreate a clean partition to avoid installing an OS over another OS which would create problems?

Hello

Graphic designer work: so the data is important you need to back up "the comment I wouldn't want to lose" suggests that you don't have these backups, yellow or orange depends on the version it's the same, using an external drive does not allow to address this: either sectors will continue to become faulty the risk of losing everything at once without knowing when is not eliminated, the drive hasn't even had the time to use "replacement sectors: 0" it has already had "unstable sectors accompanied by the inability to launch the OS so data corrupted randomly anywhere on the disk" > new drive for backups. the repaired drive can only be used for temporary data, recorded game images of no interest that we allow ourselves to lose because we have backups!

Hello,

I managed to solve the problem! In fact, to play the game Valorant, you need to enable what is called SMT (SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-THREADING) in the BIOS. It turns out that CS 2 does not tolerate this option, so you need to disable SMT, and yes, because you have to revert to the processor's initial operation; the single-core makes the game run like before.

In the end, the graphics card delivers the same rendering and the processor fulfills its role...

Hello,

Actually, the gameplay at 50 fps quickly becomes unplayable, the shots and movements stutter. Some pros need at least 300 fps minimum to compete in CS2. The game just fulfilled its contract during one match, but in the next match, it bugs again.

Good evening,

Thank you for all your responses. I reinstalled the Windows system by formatting the main SSD. I had reinstalled it in repair mode on the system itself, so I formatted and installed Windows 11 again. I noticed a malfunctioning of a SATA SSD hard drive, and as a result, the computer wouldn't start. I will test the game functionality tomorrow to see if anything has changed. Thank you for your responses, and I will keep you updated soon.

Hello,

    After the complete installation of Windows 11, the game seems to work like before. I play a lot of this game, I had never had this problem even though I already have 2000 hours in CS2. I think it should be fine in the future, but I have a small fear that the bug will come back before the next update. Since my screen is 60hz (boosted to 72hz), I thought the definition at 200ips was useless, but in a game like CS2, being a precision game, it ultimately needs such rendering. 

    For my SSD SATA hard drive, it was causing Windows to stop starting, so I bought an external case because I use it for photos and other graphic creations. On the other hand, for the hard drive, I have already used Crystal Disk, and it was orange, which seems sufficient for it to function. 

   Otherwise, I thank you for the support provided, best regards,

Hello,

The problem has come back again on CS2... My external hard drive cannot find the hard drive that has an issue, I tried to format it by performing a Windows 11 installation process from just one hard drive. I started the computer again and once again I do not have access to the installation formatting.

What should I do for the rendering on CS2, there is no solution and my FPS are dropping again... Should I perhaps wait for the next update?

I have uploaded my results to the 3DMARK application, everything is okay, right?

Thank you in advance, best regards,
