As soon as the latest CS2 patch was released on Monday, Oct. 2, players started experiencing non-stop stuttering in their matches and even in the main menu, regardless of their PC specs. Today, FaZe Clan’s star player ropz may have found a solution.
Despite having a last-gen PC, ropz encountered massive stuttering in CS2 while his PC ran CS:GO smoothly. After troubleshooting with Counter-Strike optimizer fREQUENCYCS, ropz fixed the issue by performing a clean installation of Windows 11, leaving Windows 10 behind.
The most likely reason for the stuttering problem was that his PC had a 2021 version of Windows, which caused issues when upgraded to 22H2. After a clean installation of Windows 11, the problem disappeared. Ropz thanked fREQUENCYCS for helping him troubleshoot.
Many professional players, like ropz, still used Windows 10 because it seemed to work better for CS:GO. However, since CS2 is a new product, upgrading to Windows 11 might be the best option due to its better optimization.
This issue poses a significant problem, especially for professional players who are set to compete in the first major CS2 tournament in less than two weeks in Sydney, Australia. The stuttering problem adds to the argument that CS2 may not be ready for competition yet and that Valve may have launched the game prematurely.
If you’re also experiencing stuttering in CS2 and Windows 11 doesn’t fix it, you can try optimizing your game using NartOutHere’s comprehensive guide. It’s likely that Valve will take note of this issue and address it in the near future, as they have been releasing frequent patches for CS2 during its initial stage.
If none of these solutions work for you, the best course of action is to write an email to Valve and report the issue you’re facing.
