How to Install and Run CS:GO 2018 (March Version)​

Download and Setup​

1. Download CS:GO 2018 (March) from this link: https://files.hackvshack.net/2018.zip

This version includes all necessary fixes:

• Client fix (prevents crashes)
• Prime status bypass (allows joining HvH servers)
• Version fix (enables menu usage)

2. Unzip the downloaded file.
3. Locate the CSGO.bat file in the extracted folder.

First-Time Setup​

If this is your first time running CS:GO Legacy, you'll need to install:

• Visual C++ Redistributable
• DirectX

Both files are included in the zip file. To install them:
1. Run the CSGO.bat file.
2. Follow the prompts to install the required components.

Adding to Steam Library​

1. Open Steam and go to your Library.
2. In the bottom-left corner, click "ADD A GAME".
3. Select "ADD A NON-STEAM GAME".
4. Click "BROWSE".
5. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files.
6. Select csgo.exe. It's typically located at:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Downloads\csgo 2018\csgo 2018 (supremacy)\csgo.exe
7. Click "Open" to add the game to your Steam library.

Running the Game​

You can now launch the game in two ways:
1. From Steam: Click "PLAY" in your Steam library, after game was added to steam!
2. Directly: Run the CSGO.bat file in the downloaded folder, If the game doesn't start, double-check that Steam is running in the background.

This is how it should looks like!
