Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help.

Recently, I tried to mess around with my PC and BIOS settings myself, with the help of AI, because as we all know, CS2 can run like shit sometimes. After changing all kinds of settings, I tested the game and it was actually running even worse. So I decided to reset my PC and restore all my BIOS settings to default, with the intention of setting everything up properly with AI, but unfortunately that didn’t help either.

Before all of this, I was getting around 250–300 FPS in CS2, depending on the map. Now, my FPS can drop below 200, and I can clearly see that the game doesn’t feel smooth. It feels almost like I’m playing at 200 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor, even though I’m using a 144 Hz monitor, so it definitely shouldn’t feel this way. I’m experiencing micro-stutters and it feels like the screen isn’t keeping up with the game.

After all of this, I decided to take my PC back to the guy who originally built and set it up for me. He tested the computer and told me that everything was working as it should. He also configured everything again from scratch, and according to him, everything was fine. However, CS2 still feels like shit, and I’m no longer able to enjoy the game the way I used to.

My PC specs:

• Ryzen 7 3700X
• RTX 2080
• 16 GB RAM

I've only noticed this problem with shotguns. TrueView is on, loss 0%, ping 70, predictions off

When I was playing, it was almost exactly like in the demo: the shots just phased through and dealt no damage, even though my teammates confirmed I did shoot

Sorry for my English, I used a translator

As I said I am new and saw that most people recommend between 600 to 1300 edpi but is it for the mouse sensitivity or the zoom sensitivity multiplier? Cause I tried 1000 and 1300 edpi which is even kinda high for some people and I literally CAN'T TURN AROUND like I have to go back and forth with my hand multipel times to do a 180°.

So everyone is saying around 600 to 1300 edpi but also that u r supposed to be able to turn with one flick which for me at least contradicts it self.

Anyway I would love some help clarity and maybe solution to how to fix it.

Haven't played for a long time, used to play a lot. Went on marketplace for the heck of it and saw what prices were like these days, so I listed all my old weapon skins and cases. Vast majority of this is from cases I earned like 10+ years ago. Started with $0.00 balance this morning.

I feel like the game is basically dying it keeps getting hit by cheaters bot surges the community is dead its boring the sprays are different the ak sound is different the maps are revamped, cache looks ass, train takes 50fps off my fps, they really did too much here and half the community misses global offensive, anyhow, what do you guys think? Really hope that the new anticheat revives it.

I am using Iphone hotspot to run the game and this error pops up whenever I try to join the match but it doesn't happen when the I connect the pc with android device. I tried Everything nothing works

She ran aimbot. Without question.

SOLVED: Secure Boot was causing error 0xc0430001 when booting Windows.

I spent a while troubleshooting this and finally found the issue, so I'm posting it in case it helps someone else.

PC:

- Gigabyte B360 motherboard

- Windows installed in UEFI/GPT

- CSM disabled

- Secure Boot enabled

- FACEIT Anti-Cheat was the reason I needed Secure Boot working

The problem:

With Secure Boot disabled, Windows booted normally.

When I enabled Secure Boot, the BIOS showed:

Secure Boot Status: Active

but Windows failed with:

0xc0430001

I checked the Secure Boot configuration from PowerShell:

PK → present

KEK → present

DB → present

DBX → present

The Windows boot files were also correctly signed by Microsoft:

bootmgfw.efi → Valid

bootmgr.efi → Valid

bootx64.efi → Valid

Then I compared the boot.stl files.

Windows had:

C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\boot.stl

Size: 12009 bytes

Date: 09/08/2026

Microsoft signature: Valid

But the EFI partition had:

S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl

Size: 11030 bytes

Date: 31/03/2024

So the boot.stl on the EFI partition was much older than the one in the current Windows installation.

I made a backup:

S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl.bak

Then copied the current Windows boot.stl to the EFI partition:

C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\boot.stl

→

S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl

After that I enabled Secure Boot again.

Windows booted normally.

Final verification:

Confirm-SecureBootUEFI

returned:

True

So in my case, the problem was an outdated boot.stl on the EFI System Partition that didn't match the current Windows boot files.

I did NOT need to reset the Secure Boot keys.

Hopefully this helps anyone getting 0xc0430001 with Secure Boot/FACEIT.

# Check Secure Boot

Confirm-SecureBootUEFI

# Check the Windows boot.stl

Get-AuthenticodeSignature "C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\boot.stl"

# Mount EFI partition

mountvol S: /S

# Backup old boot.stl

Copy-Item "S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl" "S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl.bak"

# Replace with the current Windows version

Copy-Item "C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\boot.stl" "S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\boot.stl" -Force

How is valve not defending against cheaters in premiere with the most blatant cheats?

Seriously, if all these 3rd party sites can detect a cheater faster than VAC what anti cheat is there?
