COUNTER STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Do the clean install and run it that way..

Do not install any other third-party drivers, just the graphics drivers.
Yeah, as you know I did an upgrade install from 7 to 10. This is the only issue I have going on. Every other game/program runs flawlessly and the OS is fast. Could it be that there was something funky going on in my 7 installing that wasn't remedied with the upgrade? That win7 install was quite old.

I have 2 ssd's (256 gb) and a mechanical drive (7200 rpm 500 gb). My CS isn't installed on the windows drive. The second ssd I got only has games on it. My windows is installed on that first SSD with the mechanical drive used for movies, pics, and some programs.

I think you should actually try both 7 and 10... I'd personally start with 10 since that's your base system. But you need to use a clean install to find out what driver is causing this problem.

None of this matters actually.

You need to create a partition, somewhere, doesn't matter where.. Install Windows 7 or 10 to it, boot from it, install your gfx drivers and nothing else, then install the game and see if the problem persists.

If it does immediately, and you're running 10, wipe the partition and install 7 and try again.

However, if it doesn't happen on a clean W10 installation then install your chipset drivers (try again), then sound drivers (try again), then SSD software (like Magician) - and finally try again. See if any of your core drivers are causing the problem.

If none of them are, then it's likely a filter driver, and at that point you'd be looking at identifying which one it is.
 
@gourimoko I was having the same issues on 7 with cs, so I really don't want to install 7 again. I'll try and fresh install of 10. You can easily do that within windows 10.

I actually don't install motherboard chipset drivers. I have been rolling with Microsoft drivers for awhile.

I heard people with stuttering issues blaming the Realtek sound drivers. I tried uninstalling those, installing the ones from Realtek and also disabling the onboard sound in windows device manager.

The actual sound card I use is an auzentech prelude. I'm pretty sure I tried disabling them before and playing. I also have headphones that attach to a usb sound card.

I know it isn't the headphones because it happens with or without them.

If I disable the sound card, that will keep the driver from working, yes?

I might try disabling all my sound devices in windows and testing.

You might notice that the sound stutters with the gameplay.

No.. this defeats the purpose of the test... The point is to do an A/B test comparing the two installations.

And the Windows 10 fresh install is not what you want to do. You want a separate and distinct installation.

That's usually a bad idea.

I heard people with stuttering issues blaming the Realtek sound drivers. I tried uninstalling those, installing the ones from Realtek and also disabling the onboard sound in windows device manager.

Just disable them and see what happens.

The actual sound card I use is an auzentech prelude. I'm pretty sure I tried disabling them before and playing. I also have headphones that attach to a usb sound card.

I would disable all of that.

I know it isn't the headphones because it happens with or without them.

You still need to test without these drivers.

If I disable the sound card, that will keep the driver from working, yes?

If the driver developers disclose their entire set of drivers in the device manager then usually yes, otherwise, no. And it has nothing to do with filter drivers, which don't show up in the device manager.

I'm not sure of your setup but if you have any other PCIe devices on the same bus, that could also cause such a problem.

Hence why I'm telling you to install W10 in another partition to test. On an SSD this shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to do.

I might try disabling all my sound devices in windows and testing.

You might notice that the sound stutters with the gameplay.

Again, it's likely a driver issue. And it sounds like you have a pretty unusual combination of sound hardware.
 
I tried disabling all sound devices and still got the stutter. I was having this issue before I installed my headphone drivers, so they can safely be eliminated.

Why wouldn't a format on the existing partition followed by an install suffice? Is there still stuff leftover after the format?

I can definitely do new partitions with fresh installs though.
 
FWIW I have a 970 as well and have never had this issue.

You would be pulling your hair out if you did. It's maddening because it only happens in one game; makes it harder to track what's going on.

@gourimoko my motherboard is quite old at this point. I got it in 2009 or 2010, so I'm not even sure they have updated the drivers for it in some time. I can't even remember what chipset it is. I know it's the first platform for i7/i5 but it isn't related to the i7 920.

920 used triple chan memory.

What processor are you using @NtG ?

Searched around a bit and found this helped a few people with that series graphic card.

Put this command into your console (~) key.

r_dynamic 0

Maybe that will help?

Edit: Also found this, which seems to describe your issue exaclty... no fix though.

His problem is somewhat similar to mine. I don't have an issue with flashbangs. I just get random stutters that shows nothing in the console. I can't trigger it by doing something specific; it just happens completely at random.
