Here are some ways to resolve the "some of your game files have been detected" issue:

  • Launch CS2 directly from your Steam library, not from shortcuts or the cs2.exe file.
  • Verify your game files by right-clicking CS2 in Steam, selecting Properties > Local Files, then clicking "Verify integrity of game files."
  • Run Steam as administrator to fix permission issues.
  • Move your CS2 installation to the C drive if it's on another drive.
  • Install the game directly from Steam instead of using network transfer between PCs.
  • Try turning off "Run as Administrator" for CS2 if the above doesn't work.

If you're still having issues, you might want to check out a CS2 unboxing site like Skincade to take a break from troubleshooting.

Always keep both CS2 and Steam updated. Many players have reported CS2 lagging after updates, which can sometimes be related to file detection issues.
