*sigh*... my csgo has been acting up for the past 2 days...
The trend is usually:
1. First map loading since starting game results in game crashing with an error message. I can't read the message or see the error window but start bar shows "Engine Error"
2. Start up game again with problem no.1 not occuring anymore, but at any given random moment, the game will randomly just crash with no error message. However, mouse cursor on my primary display is invisible, my desktop resolution doesn't get fixed so everything is stretched on both my dual monitors (I play 1280x720), and explorer.exe eventually crashes.
Even after restarting explorer.exe through task manager, mouse cursor is still invisible, resolution is still messed up, and things in the background don't work. When I say background, I mean things like pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete will result in a black screen (I can get back to desktop by pressing Esc), booting up the game again will result in a black screen (can't Alt-Tab out or Alt-F4), and I have to hard restart my PC...
Things I've tried to resolve the issue but to no avail:
1. Verifying game files through Steam.
2. Reinstalling GPU drivers.
3. Running the game in native resolution.
4. Deleting CFG folder, and having Steam reinstall it (I haven't tested this one yet. Will post update later).
I guess my next step is to just reinstall the game... Hopefully this will fix it.
