SOMETHING BROKE

CS2 video settings

If CS2 will not start, shows a black screen, or its video settings look wrong, restores the copy w0a took before it first wrote to them. Windows has no default here — this file is your own settings, so with no backup nothing is done.

What to do

  1. Open w0a
  2. Go to the Fix page in the left menu
  3. Type cs2 into the search box
  4. Press the button on the CS2 video settings card

What the card's answer means

After you press it, the card writes a line underneath. Which line you get decides your next step.

What this card actually does

If CS2 will not start, shows a black screen, or its video settings look wrong, restores the copy w0a took before it first wrote to them. Windows has no default here — this file is your own settings, so with no backup nothing is done.

Every repair card writes back the Windows default unconditionally; it does not depend on a backup of w0a's own existing. So it also helps if some other tool was what changed your machine.

If it did not help

If the card said it fixed something and the problem is still there, these settings were not the cause. Write to us — tell us which card you ran and what it printed; the two together are what narrows it down.
