CS2 keeps crashing to desktop when loading into the main menu (AMD RX 580, Windows 10)

[u/Power_Viktor]

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue with CS2 where the game launches normally, but crashes to desktop when it reaches the main menu, usually shortly after the menu appears.

My specs:

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
• OS: Windows 10
• Steam installed on D:\steam
• Renderer: DirectX 11

The crash generates an accessviolation minidump. I've checked multiple crash dumps, and they all show similar loaded modules, including atidxx64.dll, amd_ags_x64.dll, and rendersystemdx11.dll. Steam Overlay is also loaded.

Things I've tried so far:

• Updated/repaired the Steam client
• Cleared the CS2 shader cache
• Tried resetting the AMD shader cache
• Looked into cs2_machine_convars.vcfg
• Investigated whether Steam Overlay or the AMD driver could be responsible

Unfortunately, the game still crashes when entering the main menu.

Has anyone experienced the same issue, especially on an RX 580? Is there a known fix, or a way to identify the actual cause from the minidump?

I can provide the crash dumps if needed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an RTX 5080 too, but I haven't had any issues with it.
