CSGO Sticky thread

Don’t peak :D :p

It is entirely situational. People need to remember that CT is defensive and T is offensive, and that once the bomb is planted the roles are in reverse. Players need to keep this in mind always. My two biggest gripes by playing with lower rated players, are 1) the rotation and 2) switching A/B sides.

If you are playing CT and you dedicate a site, you stay there, until the caller decides otherwise, and even then, it is up to strategy. People switching out at random is a confidence breaker. It is more common with players hunting for kills. I will say this for the final time, getting the most kills are completely irrelevant for competitive CSGO. Even the player on the bottom of the log may have contributed more to the match than those above.

Then the rotation, if the bomb is called or when it is seen on the map (by view of your team), the team must react on its position. I don’t say full rotate to the bomb, it is situational. If you are unable to move, make the call, because your team needs to know where the enemy is located. Don’t stay in one spot, in silence, hoping to pick up a kill, and remember that T must come to CT. If T’s don’t plant or die the round, they don’t get any contribution to their economy except for that which the players carried.

If I play with lower ranked team members, my competitive level also comes down, because I am forced to do things for the team to react. Yes, I may die a lot, but I have no other option. Loss and erratic pings also don't help, but it is no excuse, don't play if you can't. As T’s we are way too slow and bottled up. It also seems that every player on the team has their own plan, even when called into action. T's generally only need one lurker, again pending on the map and situation. Positioning is terrible, both T and CT side. Get your positioning right and with time your reaction time will improve, but you will get your total damage done to the enemy which is important for the team to get the pick-up kills. I also note that when the bomb is planted as T’s everyone looks at the same entry points, make the call where you are covering so that the other players can adapt. As CT’s, it is like a train going into a site, the defenders will pick you one by one, again rotation, and move simultaneously into a site – the point of entry is again, situational.

Then I can come back to 1vX, if your economy is low and the opposition numbers are 3 (or more) then saving is more beneficial for the team. You also play against the clock (or bomb timer). The money you get for kills per weapon is different, so it is completely situational. But, to be a good 1vX player is up to your player intuition and map awareness, know your spots and listen, tell your team to keep their mouths shut. Learn to aim as I still see many running with their guns pointed close to their feet. Bunny, run less when you are shooting with rifles, play more deathmatches and aim maps to get the hang of recoil. Yeah, I didn’t joke when I said don’t peak, move on the oppositions position by listening. Dust2 is a good example, T get the plant with a full 5v1, CT has a awper long, one by one the team will peak the awper, bomb diffused – I see this happen so many times and even to seasoned players. Not only are the team mates walking into their own deaths, but they are putting pressure on the rest of the team to perform.

Prod, last night you hold bomb on Dust2 A site. They had a awper short, keeping to your position where you took the best plan of action, though you peeked at first, we told you otherwise, and you only reacted when he was forced into going for the diffuse. That was a good play on your part and you won the team a round.

The more the team know each other, the more confidence there will be. The only talking should be that by the caller, and the intel given by the team mates. Nobody must interrupt the other, the reason why I can’t play with kids or egocentric adults. I stop performing once the game is forced to be inconsistent, and this apply to other players as well.

Lastly, regulars must join into a self-hosted map. Get the commands out and practice the nades, entry-points and positioning, translate this into an actual competitive game. Once you guys enter the AK ranks, you will need to know your nades. At MGE, DMG you are ****ed without nade strats. That is all that I can say.

The more we play, the better we will be, practice.

Can you popup the Game bar in CSGO? I can’t… I also don't know whether it is actually automatically enabled in CSGO.

Pressed Win + G and the bar popped up, went into setting and ticked Game Mode.

Game Mode as far as I know is never automatically enabled.

Does not work at my end, even when I enable it in settings it automatically disables. Gamemode I can activate in Windows without any issue, and it stays activated, but I can't test it in any game as Game bar is being silly. In my registry, everything looks right. Custom shortcuts are also not working. I don't know what is up... I will test it on my other PC when I get to install 1703 on there.

Did you do this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR. Set AppCaptureEnabled DWORD Value to 1.

Now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore in the registry. Set GameDVR_Enabled DWORD Value to 1.

then restart.

Yep, but I started messing around a lot more than I should have which I eventually reversed. As it did not add any FPS it does not seem to be a deal breaker. Oh well... reading, many people seem to have an issue or two with the 1703 update. I don't have time to muck around today. Maybe it is something simple that I am missing. It may even be Spybot Anti-Beacon, but will check later on that.

That has always been an issue for me, once I hit GN3 and I solo queue I get placed with teams that can't play together, and as a result I derank every time.

That's cos you don't want to play with us anymore :(

Must be something you disabled ages ago causing the issue.

I went through that entire reddit thread last night and I noticed it's mostly people with already fast/high clock speed CPU's that saw FPS increases.

I found someone with my exact CPU and their tests and mine are almost identical in FPS.

Likely, but thanks for the help. Sometimes frustration gets the better of me. What peeves me the most now is Radeon Settings not saving my game profiles, and I have DDU’s the living crap out of that driver. I just want to reinstall Windows on this PC to be honest, but I have too many ongoing stuff on this PC to do just that at the moment.

Did you install the latest drivers, they were released late yesterday.

If you disable the background recording of the Xbox DVR it doesn't have any impact on game performance.

It's just like Radeon ReLive, if you don't use it it does nothing.

Might as well just test with Game Mode and see if it does anything for you.

Thanks Soul. To those that are having a issue in enabling the Game bar that have edited the registry as per Valve's advice, it is this policy which caused my issue,

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
Create key "GameDVR".
Create DWORD 32bit called "AllowGameDVR" and set to 0

I discovered the issue through the Xbox app which warned me to a similar issue as experienced by Dave in this thread,

https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showth...launches-today-–-All-the-awesome-new-features

as it was disabled by my 'organisation'.
