Requirements, injecting and post-update fixes for Counter-Strike 2
Before running Scooby on CS2, make sure the VC Runtimes are installed:
VC Runtimes (all-in-one package):

https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x86.exe https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exeInstall those and restart your PC.
Still having problems? See Universal Troubleshooting, Crashing Solutions and Connection or SSL Errors in the General tab.
There are two ways to get Scooby into CS2. Pick whichever suits where you are.
Pressing Load will close CS2, reopen it and inject automatically. You do not need to do anything else - just let it restart the game.
If CS2 is already loaded and you do not want it restarted, use manual inject instead. You must be sitting on the main menu when you do it.
Make sure your antivirus is fully disabled and the loader is excluded from Windows Defender. If it still will not inject, work through Universal Troubleshooting in the General tab.
If Scooby loads but none of the features do anything, that almost always means one thing:
Valve patches CS2 regularly, and every patch moves things around internally. Until Scooby is rebuilt against the new version, the menu will open but the features will not work.
It varies. Sometimes it is within an hour of the CS2 update, sometimes a day, sometimes up to about five days - realistically, whenever we have time to get to it.
The CS2 menu is completely free, so it sits behind the paid products in the queue. We would rather be straight with you about that than promise a turnaround we cannot always hit.
There is nothing to fix on your end - reinstalling will not help. Check the Discord for the current status, and update the loader once the new build is announced.
