Setting Run as Administrator lets the game to start without crashing... But then I get this warning Verified integrity of files multiple times No issues found or fixed

Deleted whole game reinstalled multiple times same error while Running as Administrator Reinstalled Steam from scratch same issues, crash without Running as Administrator, and VAC invalid signatures error with Running as Administrator.

WinDbg info here: https://gist.github.com/ZaDarkSide/14f86e58783722136d1bf28a1f8f18fa NVIDIA system info here: https://gist.github.com/ZaDarkSide/03a3663e032cf27f89e563c90829ada9

CS2 on Quadro K4100M is perfectly playable with Run as Administrator, I can play Practice match with Bots, but because the VAC invalid signatures warning I cannot go into Ranked matches, seems like a false positive for the VAC warning.

Seems CS2 is not very compatible with older NVIDIA GPU Drivers for older video cards in the end. CS:GO didn't had this issue.
