Cannot load into game's main menu to even start.

Hello devs, came to check out your new update and im unable to even start playing. It is stuck infinitely loading on the initial spinning eye symbol. Tried installing fresh, reinstalling it, revalidating files once both have been done, and ive waited multiple minutes each time, no change. I just wanna play the game and try out the new stuff :<

Same issue here. One of the times I left it to load for like 30+ minutes and it eventually did load. But I tried again and it didn't load even with 30 minutes of waiting. It seems to not be using much disk or cpu either.

EDIT: I changed the game folder permissions to have no restrictions, but I think just running the game as admin fixed it and it loaded really fast.

i've encoutnered same issue, its cause of vpn/proxy/tunnel running the game fails to host a localhost lobby for "the hideout" so u're stuck in a loop of it trying to host it.

If you are using a VPN, this is happening. From what I've gathered they are not letting anyone who is using a VPN to access the game.

100% - Unfortunately, this is going to quickly become a huge trend with all online services soon thanks to not only cheaters/smurfs, but AI.

AI will be used to catch cheaters, give it 1-2 years.

AI v AI - Anti-Cheat v Cheaters.... It will only get worse until ISP and games start requiring real ID. Which probably will come in short order after AI takes over and its growth goes out of control. With how fast it is moving now.

Doesn't matter, Valve needs to manage all their servers and have no insiders. Why do you think people can use cloud-based cheats on CS2 to have radarhack? The server hosts have insiders leaking informations.

cant you use hardware cheats for that ? offload memory to other computer who then draws meta information on your monitor with the original machine having no clue that the memory is copied ?

Such passive cheats are easy for hardware.
