Fortunately, there's a reliable fix that works for most players. This guide will walk you through solving both the corrupt file issues and game bugs causing these texture problems.

How to Fix Black and Invisible Textures in CS2

There are two main causes for black textures in CS2: corrupt game files and rendering bugs. Here's how to fix both issues:

1. Open Steam
2. Go to your Library
3. Right-click on Counter Strike 2
4. Click Properties
5. Go to the Installed Files tab
6. Click Verify integrity of game files
7. Once that's finished, go back to the General tab
8. In Launch Options, enter -vulkan
9. Launch Counter Strike 2
10. Go to Settings > Video > Advanced
11. Disable FidelityFX Super Resolution

This forces the game to use the Vulkan API instead of DirectX. If you don't disable FidelityFX with Vulkan enabled, you'll experience console spam and stuttering during combat. For more performance optimization tips, check our CS2 practice config guide.
