How can I get rid of the one time stutter in CS:GO?
When playing CS GO, I always have sound stutter combined with heavy FPS lag / short freezes after a while. The funny thing is, it only occurs once per match and mostly at round start. However, this is annoying and can lead to a quick death if any enemy is around. I have verified the integrity of my game files, I have made sure my drivers are up to date, but nothing seems to fix this.
System:
- Win7 64bit
- AMD FX4300BE
- AMD HD7850
- 4GB Kingston RAM 1600 MHZ
- 512GB WD Green
- M5A78LM-USB3 Mainboard
I also would like to note that I changed Mainboard and CPU 2 months ago and this was happening on my old build with the AMD 965 as well. My old sound chip was a Realtek while this one is actually a VIA sound chip. So I think it might be something else. Changing the games graphics options didn't do anything.
Best Answer
Stutter once per game (and mainly at the start) is highly likely to be the game still loading certain assets. You can try run around the entire map during warm-up round, it may help.
As for hardware, the best thing you can do to fix this issue would be to get a Solid State Drive and install your CS:GO onto there. This will mean that even if the game tries to load assets during the first few rounds, it will load them so fast the game should not stutter.

Answer 2
Does this happen when a player joins the game? If so, I've also been experiencing this problem for a very long time but I think I may have found the solution. Try putting -nod3d9ex on CSGO's launch options. This completely removed the choppy fps when I first start the game up(which only happens if you have -novid on the launch options, to remove the intro clip when starting up the game) and I still need some more testing but I think it might have also solved the micro-stutters when someone joins the game
