CS: GO Engine Error: How to fix it?
The Engine Error we are talking about comes with a message, “CAudioSourceMemWave(playervofbihrt_epicomw_platform_01_wav):GetDataPoint() failed”. The major cause of this error is “Force Preload”. Force Preload, as the name implicates, makes all the textures load during the loading screen. It makes the game stay longer on the loading screen but when you connect everything is already loaded. Some players debate in favor of enabling it as they experience a boost in FPS while some are against it saying that it unnecessarily loads the loading screen. To activate force preload in CS: GO, you need to set cl_forcepreload to 1. But, as mentioned earlier, some players are facing the Engine Error after enabling force preload.
So, what should you do with Force Preload to fix Engine Error? To fix Engine Error, if you have cl_forcepreload set on “1” set it on “0”.
