FACEIT Client Anti-cheat

The app is not able to launch CS2 properly when the FACEIT anti-cheat client is running due to permission issues.

Please close out the anti-cheat client before attempting to play any matches with the app.

CS2 Cannot Join Matchmaking

cs2 vac

This issue is usually caused by quitting out of CS2 before finishing your matches in the app. Since the app was not able to clean up the VPK it generates that contains the custom bot names and difficulties.

The simple fix is to revalidate your files and you'll be able to join matchmaking again.

CAppSystemDict:Unable to create interface Source2ServerConfig001 from server (Dependency of application)

This is the same issue as CS2 Cannot Join Matchmaking.

The fix is to revalidate your files and you'll be able to join matchmaking again.

CS2 Missing Bots

cs2 bots

CS2 is still kind of buggy so a few things may not work correctly.

Occasionally, your matches may be missing bots for which there is a quick workaround.

Open up the dev console (~) and type in the following command.

exec liga-bots

CS2 Ready Up Not Working

If you type .ready and the match is not starting, you may need to install Visual Studio Redistributables.

This is a dependency of CounterStrikeSharp which is what the app uses to manage the state of the matches.

CS2 Bots Buying Wrong Weapons

It has been noted that in CS2 the bots, even when they have enough money, do not buy proper weapons like the m4 or m4a1s. Instead they buy other guns like the famas.

This is a known issue with the game due to the way the loadout system affects bots. So even with the bot profile explicitly configured with the proper weapon priority, it is still not respected by the bots.

CS2 Workshop Maps Broken

If your workshop maps are broken it may be due to the app not properly cleaning up after itself.

You can fix the issue by cleaning out the contents of your listenserver.cfg found in /path/to/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg.

Alternatively, you can run the following command in Powershell, making sure to replace the path with the correct one pointing to your Counter-Strike installation.

Clear-Content -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\listenserver.cfg"

Game Not Detected

The app automatically detects the path to Steam and your installed games as reported by Steam.

However, Steam may not immediately recognize newly installed games. To resolve this, try restarting Steam and then the app.

Alternatively, it's possible to manually specify the path to Steam and your game's library (if it is in another partition) from the app's settings page.

Game Not Launching

There is an issue with the game plugins not being extracted properly which prevents the app from properly launching your game.

Navigate to the application logs located in %APPDATA%/LIGA Esports Manager/logs/main.log and look for these kinds of entries.

[warn]  (plugins)  could not process: plugins/cs2/addons/counterstrikesharp/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/8.0.3/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core.dll
[warn]  (plugins)  could not process: plugins/cs2/addons/counterstrikesharp/dotnet/host/fxr/8.0.3/hostfxr.dll

[warn]  (plugins)  could not process: plugins/cssource/cfg/sourcemod/sm_warmode_on.cfg

The workaround for this issue is to navigate to %APPDATA%/LIGA Esports Manager/plugins and extract the plugins zip into %APPDATA%/LIGA Esports Manager.

You can grab the latest plugins zip from here. It is the one named plugins-<version>.zip.

Important

If you have %APPDATA%/LIGA Esports Manager/plugins/plugins then that is incorrect. It must be extracted into its parent folder, %APPDATA%/LIGA Esports Manager.

Installation has Failed

cs2 vac

Please try disabling Antivirus software as it may be blocking the application installer from functioning correctly.

Since the app is not signed yet (it's pricey) this may trigger some Antivirus software.

No Scheduled Matches

In rare cases, starting a new career may result in no scheduled matches.

Unfortunately, the only workaround is to delete the career and start a new one.

Windows 11 Insider Preview

There are known issues launching Counter-Strike from within the app on this version of Windows.

Due to this compatibility issue, this Windows version is not supported.

Counter-Strike Game Session Error: Could not find log file

logs001

After launching Counter-Strike, the app will wait for the game to create a new log file.

Usually, this happens in under a minute but if you are sporadically running into this error you can try increasing the "Game Launch Timeout" option in the app settings (Ctrl+,).

logs002

If you continue running into this issue, double check that Counter-Strike is creating a log file as expected. For example, this is how CS2's log folder structure should look like.

steamapps/
├─ common/
│  ├─ Counter-Strike Global Offensive/
│  │  ├─ game/
│  │  │  ├─ csgo/
│  │  │  │  ├─ logs/
│  │  │  │  │  ├─ 2025_11_25_120302.log

Lastly, please ensure that the following cvars are not being overridden in your configuration either via autoexec.cfg or command-line arguments.

  • log on
  • sv_logsdir logs
  • sv_logfile 1
  • sv_logflush 1
  • sv_log_onefile 0
  • mp_logdetail 3

CSGO Black Screen Then Crash

Important

If you did not have developer console enabled in settings prior to your game breaking, you will also need to add -console to your game launch options from the application settings.

If you are experiencing issues with CS:GO where it launches with a black screen and then suddenly closes try the following workaround.

  1. Open /path/to/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/panorama in file explorer.

  2. Rename the videos folder to videos.bak.
