Hi! It seems like you have been experiencing crashing issues with Dota 2 and sometimes with CS:GO after installing MSI Afterburner. Uninstalling Afterburner and performing a clean uninstall should have resolved any potential conflicts caused by the software. However, if the issue persists, here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Verify game files: In Steam, right-click on Dota 2 and CS:GO, go to Properties, then click on the "Local Files" tab, and select "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This process will check for any missing or corrupted files and replace them.
2. Update GPU drivers: Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your GPU. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website or use a tool like GeForce Experience or AMD Radeon Software to update them automatically.
3. Reset game settings: Sometimes, the game settings can cause crashes. Resetting the in-game settings to default may help. You can usually find this option in the game's settings menu.
4. Check for overheating: Excessive heat can cause crashes. Monitor your GPU temperatures using a program like MSI Afterburner (if you reinstall it) or HWMonitor. If temperatures are consistently high, you may need to clean your GPU and ensure proper airflow in your system.
5. Disable overclocking: If you were overclocking your GPU using Afterburner, try disabling the overclock and run the games at stock settings. Overclocking can sometimes cause stability issues.
6. Reinstall the games: If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling Dota 2 and CS:GO. This can help if there were any corrupted game files that were not fixed during the verification process.
Hopefully, one of these steps will help resolve the crashing issues you are experiencing with Dota 2 and CS:GO. If the problem persists, you may want to seek further assistance from the game's support forums or contact MSI support for additional troubleshooting.
