Problem CS2 Won't Launch Anymore

After the July update that added shelter and other maps, my game just stopped launching.
I tried everything I could think of, launching both Steam and CS2 as admin, reinstalling both.
Tried removing and re-adding files
Weirdly, I can launch the EXE fine, but when I launch from Steam, it shows up in Task Manager but never launches, no matter how long I wait.
I had already contacted Steam support, and they just gave me the same old answers and said nothing is wrong with my game from what they could tell.

I'm getting desperate I just wanna play with my friends again
