STRIDE launcher

1. 1Run the installerIt installs for your Windows user only, so it doesn't ask for admin rights.
2. 2Get past SmartScreenThe installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say it protected your PC. Click More info, then Run anyway.
3. 3Sign inThe launcher opens your browser to sign in with Discord. Link Steam afterwards if you haven't already.

• Finds Steam and your CS:GO install, then starts the game with your resolution and launch options.
• Connects you to the match server when your match is ready, even if CS:GO is already open.
• Shows party invites and match found alerts, and keeps running in the tray when you close the window.
• Shows what you're playing in Discord. You can turn this off in the launcher settings.
• Keeps the STRIDE files in your CS:GO folder up to date, and checks every file it downloads against our server before using it.
• Updates itself when a new version is out, but never while CS:GO is running.

Outside the csgo_gc folder in your game install it doesn't touch your Steam or game files. It doesn't install anything else or show ads, and starting with Windows stays off until you turn it on.
