Counter Strike (CS:GO) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lorddbaz bazzi (@lorddbaz) reported

    @FACEITSupport Fix ur ******* game I just got a 6 hour ban because csgo servers were down

  • DkJS6CXFwh2yR1i KinuKamura 🇨🇭 (@DkJS6CXFwh2yR1i) reported

    @MoonOverlord Why is this suddenly an issue. CSGO skins are not NFT's they don't operate in the same manner, they have similarities but they are ultimately different.

  • Spleeched spleech (@Spleeched) reported

    @ruckGN @Kev1nR6 the issue with money laundering through csgo is the mass amount of attention it could potentially receive, people very likely tried, but i dont think it would be very effective

  • el_Ciskin Ciskin (@el_Ciskin) reported

    @iamExpel @Metaaphor My take is this. Games are design with certain inputs in mind. I am not going to play csgo and complain controller support sucks. I’ll adapt and pick up a mouse and key. Cod is a controller game. Adapt like @IceManIsaac and pick up a controller. Simple, yes AA is broken.

  • infeura Skål Infeura (@infeura) reported

    @MoeAZack1 I agree the geographical distribution is the problem as it fragments Europe into many smaller VCLs the viewership isn't centralized like CSGO where it's split into 4 regions with Europe being split to 2, which I believe would be the solution to low viewership in other leagues

  • DuragSpace zane. (@DuragSpace) reported

    Trying to rank up in CSGO is legit a joke lol I'm not even joking when I say that almost all of my games have a disconnect or afk

  • rawbeefff RawBeef (@rawbeefff) reported

    The problem is with the market of csgo is that it is not controlled. I think the market is too hot right now and because of this all the prices are shooting up. But there comes a point where the market can't handle it anymore. (2/3)

  • lorddbaz bazzi (@lorddbaz) reported

    @FACEIT @FACEITCS @FACEITSupport I just qued got into a game csgo was down noone could load in last seccond csgo comes back on select few get in and the rest of us get banned fix ur ******* game this isnt the first time this has happened.

  • Footballio_ Footiefoot (@Footballio_) reported

    @CSGO #CSGO Instead of sniffing coke and f'ing ho's on Hawaiian vacation better fix your game and Anti-Cheat

  • YL19qCtWF27W0XD k🇨🇳🇨🇳 (@YL19qCtWF27W0XD) reported

    Fourthly, I really love playing CSGO, and when I'm not working, it's a part of my life. I abide by the rules of the game and hope you don't let me lose my love for CSGO. Please help me solve this problem. I have invested a lot of time and money in this game, and I won't give up

  • cHARL1EBTV cHARL1EB (@cHARL1EBTV) reported

    Does anyone else get fps problems in csgo etc with 4k polling rate on thier mouse ? Soon as I switch it to 1000hz it fixes it? Wierd

  • highfrog739135 fuckcs2 (@highfrog739135) reported

    @CounterStrike 20 min q times and u wont let people ******* play cs2 csgo is even more glitchy, steam market has been broken for 3 day. #fuckcs2

  • rocketvanpersie RVP (@rocketvanpersie) reported

    Idk how bad the p2w potentially is because I haven’t ran into an issue yet but with that being said gameplay and things to do wise @SpeedstormGame is actually fantastic. Had some left over money from selling csgo crates and I’m definitely not disappointed.

  • Kraylonn Kraylonn (@Kraylonn) reported

    @lyNxiiii_ Been saying this ever since I started playing Val: ”Amateur” scene is literally non-existing & Riot does not seem to think that’s a problem at all. Personally I miss the way you could actually play meaningful tier 1-2 OPEN qualifiers in csgo. Val scene is ****.

  • Auvy3n Auvy3n 🇩🇪🌈 (@Auvy3n) reported

    @Steam please fix the issue with the CSGO Inventory. It is not available for days.

  • grosChatTV gros Chat ✦ (@grosChatTV) reported

    @Steam FIX CSGO INVENTORY ISSUES ****** SHITS

  • csmacintosh1 MacintoshCS (@csmacintosh1) reported

    Cannot connect to CSGO servers… anyone else has this issue?

  • Shygamiii Shygami (@Shygamiii) reported

    Can cs2 come like NOWW?! Like the servers for csgo are still so fkd but valve doesnt care to fix them😭

  • Halflernation Marco Silva (@Halflernation) reported

    @thisisdukee @dmytroiv82 @FACEIT This issue is more prevalent in csgo native MM unfortunately. Do I easily get demotivated by this? Oh yes... usually by round 3 is all but clear. It's been horrible lately with the huge influx of people. (Europe based). 1/2

  • 8RIGHTS brights (@8RIGHTS) reported

    This for anyone thinking cs prices are gonna dip. I've been round since day 1 of CSGO. There has NEVER been a dip on all weapons, only specific certain items. The people saying it's gonna die here or soon are just the next group trying to predict a crash that's never happened

  • _FlanderS_ FlanderS (@_FlanderS_) reported

    @OnlyRealNap If I would sell my stuff now, I would probably quit csgo completely. It’s not the same playing with sick skins than with just regular stuff. At least for me. But I still enjoy it and I am also looking forward to play cs2, so I can’t sell.2. problem if I sell will be the Finanzamt

  • Jim45255760 Jim (@Jim45255760) reported

    @ChocoHalation @KattenEUW @swordgobonk I dont play valo, but it runs csgo league without any issues 120fps

  • james_chara19 James (@james_chara19) reported

    @valvesoftware please fix your ****, just wanna play csgo 🤡

  • TheSuspect500 TheSuspect (@TheSuspect500) reported

    @Mr_R4ge We don't like the idea of having bots that are prone to Steam bans and other problems. It works exactly the same as the CSGO P2P, just without the extra information.

  • JackTradesCSGO JackTradesCsgo (@JackTradesCSGO) reported

    In case you weren’t around, the csgo hype rn is exactly what crypto in late 2017 felt like. You couldn’t go wrong - pick literally anything and it would 2x in a week. These things all end the same tho… it’s a glorified game of CRASH.

  • csgofloat CSGOFloat (@csgofloat) reported

    .@CounterStrike @valvesoftware decided to heavily rate limit requests to their CSGO "game coordinator" that allows the community to fetch inspect details (ie. float values). While this isn't meaningfully affecting CSGOFloat Market, other community sites are having issues with…

  • HyperE141 Vreemdeling (@HyperE141) reported

    @valvesoftware Multi-Million dollar company , but cant fix CSGO Inventories for more than 2 weeks . 👏👏👏

  • 8RIGHTS brights (@8RIGHTS) reported

    And it definitely won't happen on CSGO V2 release lmao This is literally the complete opposite of a game dying and nft idiots think the market is gonna crash

  • 1DollarHandjob Handjob (@1DollarHandjob) reported

    Dude Valve really needs to fix their ****, trades and inventories have been a ******* mess for weeks now. #CSGO #CSGO2

  • josipmp0 Sm0k3R (@josipmp0) reported

    @FACEIT CSGO Matchmaking - All queues are closed due to instability of the Steam Service for CSGO. All tournament matches will resume once steam stability is restored.
