Hey guys,
Mods, be gentle, I'm only posting here for visibility; I humbly request you to move the thread once it gets hot enough:
*This tutorial has been tested on a i7-3770k PC with no graphics card and GENUINE Windows 7 64 bit! If CS:S works, CS:GO works.
--------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET THE GAME!
--------------------------------------------------------------
1) Go to torrentz.eu or just google torrentz, and search for counter-strike.
Then select this one: http://i.imgur.com/FYsSayY.jpg
2) Go to the kickass torrents one, and download the torrent. Also download the update as shown in the image.
You will also need .net 4.5, which you can get from the microsoft website: http://i.imgur.com/dpeWhUT.jpg
3) Install the game where-ever. I installed it on E drive. You should have the CS:GO update like this: http://i.imgur.com/J4hTVrg.jpg
Copy the contents and paste it here: http://i.imgur.com/1lan0SQ.jpg
4) Have you installed .net 4.5? No. GOD DAMMIT! Go back and do that!
5)Alright it gets tricky here, so READ CAREFULLY!
Go to your X:\Counter Strike Global Offensive\Steam directory and look for JunkiesClient.exe
Right click properties, and make sure it always run in Administrator mode! http://i.imgur.com/3w36Hd0.jpg
6) Now go to X:\Counter Strike Global Offensive\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\ and look for revloader.exe
PLEASE NOTE: THIS EXE IS YOUR GAME LAUNCHER! PRAY TO IT FOR 2 MINUTES.
And then make sure its always running in Admin mode as well! http://i.imgur.com/7tny6op.jpg
7) Alright just a recap: You've copied the update.
You've put JunkiesClient and revloader in admin mode.
You've installed .net 4.5
You've probably prayed a little bit... I was kidding man.
8) Now register at http://forum.planetcss.com/index.php?app=c...ection=register
Your User-Name and Password is required to validate your CSGO, ie. so you can play. So just do it.
9) After you finish signing up, and you have verified your account.
DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS!!
Run JunkiesClient.exe in ADMINISTRATOR! You will get BLACK SCREEN ERROR if you don't! (An error where CSGO starts and hits black screen and hangs)
10) Unfortunately, the torrent isn't up to date. So first you Log-In. http://i.imgur.com/4eljo4R.jpg
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NICKNAME!! IT SCREWS IT UP!
And then you'll be in Queue. Like so: http://i.imgur.com/V3qQ805.jpg
Sucks, but you have to wait. Watch some Modern Family. It's a good show.
You should get a budumclink noise when you reach 1. It takes a while. If you do it in the morning, when the Russians are at work, the traffic is less. (Join servers and you'll know why).
When you reach the top: HIT "Install/Update" and Check the box "Verify All"
11) It WILL update. Because it's not the latest build. And update was released quite recently. You'll see a timer. But chill. It doesn't matter.
Unfortunately, you can't hit Patch if the timer runs out. So you might have to queue again.
12) IF the timer runs out repeat steps 10) but don't check "Verify All". And then hit "Patch".

13) "BAD FILES??!?!?" WTF??!??
Alright you patched successfully, but you noticed a lot of "bad files". What's happening? http://i.imgur.com/cl4Ocgc.jpg
Relax. The game still runs. If you patched successfully, hit start and you should see a black screen.
Okay this is where you hold on to your seat, because if everything is in Administrator mode, the game should go black, wait a couple of seconds (~10) and then you should hit mainscreen.
The mouse wont be working, because you'll see the console. Hit "~" or "Esc", and then play whatever you want. This works on Hamachi as far as I know.
---------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK SCREEN ERROR
---------------------------------------------------------------
If CSGO goes black, then you did something wrong. You might've:
1) Changed the nickname in JunkiesClient. Don't do that.
2) Either Revloader, or JunkiesClient is not in Administrator mode. Which is silly. You're not that silly are you?
3) The server overloaded, and it didn't download the updates... which SUCKS!! So try again later.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ANY OTHER ERRORS
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you had any other problems, I'm sorry son, I've got 99 problems.. nevermind.
Head over to the CS:S Junkies forum, and read if anybody has the same problem like "Disk space something something" - make sure you have atleast 10 GB on the HDD.
---------------------------------------------------------------
HOW DO I CHANGE MY NICK TO YOLOSWAGBEIBERLOVESCHRISBROWN??
---------------------------------------------------------------
Same as CS:S, after you've got the game running properly, edit the rev.ini file.
But changing the name will mean you will have to repatch after a new update is released. That means queueing etc. etc.
So stick to one name. And for Abed's sake, don't pick a stupid nickname.
---------------------------------------------------------------
WHO DID THIS?
---------------------------------------------------------------
SmartPlay at CS:S junkies is running the servers. Nice guy. Tell the guy you got the game running. Feel free
to share this tutorial and take credit. I seriously don't give a shit. I'm just trying to give back to you guys, besides I bought the game anyway haha.
---------------------------------------------------------------
HOW DO I CREATE A DEDICATED SERVER ETC.??
---------------------------------------------------------------
No idea. I just play with bots. I played on one Russian server, and it was okay.
But if you do figure out the cvars for all this, please share! We need more Malaysian servers and Singapore servers.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE TORRENT FILE AND THE GAME IS NOT WORKING
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I did too, and I got STRING ERROR SOME SHIT. That's why I followed the alternate method.
The torrent doesn't spell it out properly, that's why I made this.
