Check the log file first - it contains the exact error message for most issues.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\VioletWing\logs\violetwing.log

The Logs tab inside the application shows the same output.

cs2-dumper download fails on startup

VioletWing couldn't fetch cs2-dumper.exe from GitHub.

  • Check your internet connection
  • If you use a firewall or VPN, allow outbound HTTPS to github.com
  • If the binary is already cached, VioletWing will use it - check the cs2-dumper version card in General Settings

Error code: E4014

"CS2 is not running" on startup

VioletWing launched cs2-dumper but CS2 wasn't open.

  • Launch Counter-Strike 2 first, wait until you're in the main menu or a match, then start VioletWing

Error code: E4012

Features stop working after a CS2 update

Valve pushed a patch and the memory offsets are stale. Restart VioletWing with CS2 running - it clears the cache and reruns cs2-dumper automatically. If cs2-dumper itself hasn't been updated for the patch yet, check the cs2-dumper releases page.

Error codes: E4013, E4015

"Could not open cs2.exe" / process attach fails

VioletWing doesn't have permission to attach to CS2.

  • Right-click VioletWing.exe → Run as administrator
  • Make sure CS2 is already running before launching VioletWing

Overlay not visible

The ESP overlay doesn't support exclusive fullscreen, or pyMeow couldn't attach to the CS2 window.

  • Switch CS2 to Windowed or Borderless Windowed (Video settings → Display Mode)
  • Confirm the Overlay toggle is on in General Settings
  • If running from source, verify pyMeow installed correctly - see Build from Source
  • Restart both CS2 and VioletWing

ESP overlay shows a black rectangle

NVIDIA driver bug with transparent OpenGL windows.

  • Open NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → set OpenGL GDI compatibility to Prefer compatible
  • Restart VioletWing

Intel and AMD GPUs are not affected.

Bunnyhop is inconsistent or not working

  • CS2 must be the active foreground window - clicking away breaks it
  • Adjust JumpDelay in the Additional tab: increase slightly (e.g. 0.012) if jumps fire too fast, decrease (e.g. 0.008) for tighter timing
  • Confirm the jump key matches your CS2 jump bind - default is space

TriggerBot fires on teammates

Attack on Teammates is enabled. Disable it in the Trigger settings tab.

TriggerBot not firing at all

  • Confirm TriggerBot is enabled in General Settings
  • Check you're holding the correct trigger key (or that toggle mode is on and active)
  • Verify offsets are current - stale offsets cause fire logic reads to fail
  • Check the log for errors tagged trigger_bot

NoFlash not working

  • Confirm NoFlash is enabled in General Settings
  • Restart VioletWing to regenerate offsets
  • Verify FlashSuppressionStrength is 0.0 for full suppression
