it was KISLOWOOSK, it is running Aim_map2 I'm not really sure if it is custom, but if it is official it would surprise me that the game comes with an original aim map, plus it had to download the map so i don't think its originalbesides it was empty (still empty i think, but worked) it has this ip 46.48.26.209:27022 i don't know if its not allowed to post other servers ip (if not, then delete this part admin) (i'm not advertising that server, i'm just saying it work's) and you are right there are only 4 servers on my list :S the first 2 say there are 21 players (don't know if they are bots)

it did work for me, i had little problems but at the end i can play non steam servers online without problems

It successfully fixed the black screen problem on my two friends computer (having steam installed) that i failed to run earlier today. :O verify all and then patch didn't updated my cs:go (on my computer), but i did verify all+update/install and successfully updated my game to 1.22.3.1 but gave me black screen problem, then i did verify all+patch and fixed the black screen Edit: i run the game, write "version on the console, it showed 1.22.3.1 clicked browse community servers picked a random custom map running 1.22.3.1 it downloaded the map, joined successfully and played without problems :D

Hurrah :D 1 question: is not a problem if steam is installed in the machine? or it is just coincidence that the only two computers that i have failed installing cs:go had Steam installed (not running)

today i tried to install the game via junkies client on two computers having already steam installed and junkies client worked fine updated & patched fine, but the game did black screen & drop to desk, i need someone that confirms that have installed and played (Having steam installed), if no one have then steam is a big problem :S Even if you click update, your game will be updated to 1.22.3.0 I guess we have to wait until SmartPlay update the game server I have clicked update / install and it said: File config.vdf downloaded.Successfully created interfaces.Logging on to the servers...Successfully logged on!Waiting for licenses update...License received.730:Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is already up to date.Logging off...You are logged off. That means we can only play 1.22.3.0 servers like the test server onei typed on the console: connect 89.205.123.68:27015 and it connected to the test server without problems Please wait until SmartPlay update the game server And the files so we can update through Junkies Client to play on others non steam servers.

thats weird, after you successfully patched you should be able to create shortcut, then close the client via task manager, give admin rights to the revloader and start from your shortcut on your desk, try it again, dont give up, i had that problem and i got it running doing so !

V20 has little bugs but it is working and have solutions, it don't have any critical bugs like V15 did :S If it give you a CS:GO update it means that your game wasn't successfully updated. and its updating If it gives you a Junkies Client update it could mean 1- bad config of the client (bad game dir location, bad proxy config) 2- coming v21? 3- you need to uninstall client and delete all folders except those I mentioned before and install again. if it dont give you any update and you succesfully Verify All & Patch Then you should create shortcut Clicking "Create Shortcut" then close the client via task manager & start game via your desk shortcut.

Ok do what i say On Junkies Client > First click on Verify All and then click on patch (if it passes the Verify your installation should be fine)> It should be quick > Then when it finish (be sure it is not downloading anything) > Click on " Create Shortcut " See if it created the shortcut, then if it is created try to close the junkies client, if it fails to close the client > Open your task manager and close the process "JunkiesClient.exe", Close the task manager then "Right-Click" on your new shortcut > (it should be a red arror named "Counter-Strike Global Offensive") and select open file location > then right click on "revLoader.exe" > properties > Compatibilities > Run this program with admin rights > go to desktop and run your "Counter-Strike Global Offensive" short cut. be patient and tell me if something has changed. (if your game is not up to date I think it should not patch correctly I don't know)

It is simple, first of all have calm so you don't commit any mistake, try to follow my previous post (i had exactly the same problem and i solved it) If you dont want to watch the whole video tutorial then go inside your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Junkies Client\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive" folder and delete everything except bin, csgo and platform > inside the folder bin delete the folder named "Steam" and if you dont have that folder then proceed > inside the folder named csgo delete the folder named "bin" and the file named "steam.inf" > then After that, download & install Junkies_Client_ULTIMATE_Version_20.zip which is in the first page too & try again "Install / Update" please tell me if it solved your problem.

can you explain exactly when it throw that error ? i mean, you click patch and it immediately throw the error ? or it start patching then after it patches throw the error? or after patching you click play and it throw the error ? please copy and paste the log on the junkies client or go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Junkies Client\logs" and pm me the cloud_log.txt / connection_log.txt / content_log.txt / and i will see if i can possibly help you

All this errors are fixed in the v20 (at least for me) ill try to make a troubleshoot thread I hope I can help some people

I'm glad it helped you :D I'm still "Installing / Updating" it say 81.43% (1.74 GiB / 2.17 GiB) I don't understand what it is "downloading" if I have the Counter.Strike.Global.Offensive-UNLOCKED FULL by skidrow placed in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Junkies Client\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive Perhaps an update ? I really don't know xD P.S. To anyone who is trying to install CS:GO and are starting from scratch I recommend you to directly download via Junkies Client why ? simple: I know the queue is killing us but patience is the key! (PATIENCE) there are some advantages downloading directly from Junkies Client 1- After downloading via Junkies Client you just need to patch & play (I think / I hope) 2- it wont need to update those 2.17gb after you downloaded for example the game from skidrow or any other torrent (except they are the latest CS:GO client version) 3- Its downloading at a stable speed & it work's like the torrent's client, its well seeded because there are lots of people using the Junkies Client 4- It will work :D **Warning** If you cant let your download running for a long time or you lost your connection frequently try and download Via torrent why? the last time I was trying to download the game directly from the Junkies Client I had to cut the Internet when the download was at approximately 40% (I was Eating all my house bandwidth xD) and latter that night (Everyone was sleeping) when I was trying to "resume" it simply just wont work (don't know why maybe it was some already fixed bug maybe not, but I had to download the skidrow torrent because I Can pause the downloads & the Junkies queue was killing me xD) Recommendation to Junkies Client Dev's: option 1 -Add bandwidth control like torrents so you can control the download / upload speed option 2 -Add a pause / resume download button Thanks devs for giving us this great software.

Try first uninstall with unins000.exe in the Junkies Client folder > After you uninstall, delete all the folders inside Junkies Client folder except the folder named steamapps > Tthen go inside that steamapps folder and delete all except the folder named common. Then if you are trying to "Install / Update" go inside common > Counter-Strike Global Offensive > When you are In there, follow the instructions on this video tutorial which is in the first page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSUSrH1liA0 After that, download & install Junkies_Client_ULTIMATE_Version_20.zip which is in the first page too & try again "Install / Update" If you are trying to "patch and or verify" i haven't done that yet so I don't know :D

v20 fixed a lot but I'm having this little error, please can someone tell me what's wrong ? -**copied directly from Junkies Client console** - File config.vdf downloaded.Successfully created interfaces.Logging on to the servers...Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: No Connection !Logon failed: Invalid Password ! **(when i click on the "x" to exit the client, it doesn't close and drop the next error lines)**Engine is shut down.FATAL ERROR: Access violation at address 02BF7F99.

Thanks for your time And thank you SmartPlay for this Junkies Client. Edit: **Solved** Just uninstalled Junkies Client (I had updated it from v15 to v20 but doesn't work) after the uninstall i deleted the Junkies Client folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Junkies Client - After deleting it, I installed "Junkies_Client_ULTIMATE_Version_20.exe" Copied "Counter.Strike.Global.Offensive-UNLOCKED" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Junkies Client\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive, then I Deleted the specified files in the tutorial vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSUSrH1liA0then it started to "Install / Update" ok I will post more feedback after the "Install / Update" finishes.

it now say there is a new update, but it fails to download can you please tellme if its happening to you too ? its v16 coming out ? Edit: Im currently running v15 so i presume v16 is trying to push or there is a junkie client updater error :/ Edit2: ok now im watching in v15 its working the Settings and if i put on proxy settings, server: 89.205.123.68 port: 27015 the client say that there is a new update if i delete the server ip, then it goes to queue and then crash when it ends the queue :/ some 1 knows if thats important or just random bad luck? i dont have any proxy setup and i wont use any, just in case. Edit3: ok if i put anything on the proxy config even if i put "0" the client say that there is a new update and try to update then fails to update then closes, if i leave proxy config as default (blank spaces) then it wont say that there is an update and enter to queue to later fail and close after queue is over. I guess we will have to wait for v16 ?
