Counter Strike (CS:GO) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GCDACUS SLR (#864) 👩 ♒︎ (@GCDACUS) reported

    @caoimheism xoRi is sick!! and yeah they really do. honestly it's kinda wacky because as an adult I find that I have trouble accessing the mindset to create one myself started playing valorant and csgo and these kids' tags are insane, and like damn I would not have come up with that neat!

  • Windowed_envelo Windowed Envelope (@Windowed_envelo) reported

    @RealGermanPeter I don't think the community is the reason that valve doesn't want to update the game, if that was the case then csgo would've been completely abandoned. The community's toxicity is a problem in itself but there is little to no correlation to game not being updated because of it.

  • 1aggyexe Laggy (@1aggyexe) reported

    @PlayApex This isn’t an issue on my part—every other online game I play (Rainbow Six Siege, CSGO, Valorant, etc.) I never have these kinds of connection issues. I’ve tried switching servers and nothing changes.

  • VoporALT Vopor (@VoporALT) reported

    Anyone know some good stream settings so when I stream CS:Go the stream won't lag?

  • Vitzel33 schnitzel33 (@Vitzel33) reported

    @charlieisproper @opal_teal Well, my point is that it’s NOT TF2 itself, its a problem with people in real life. TF2 is just the medium, but the toxicity is much worse and much more consentrated in the likes of CoD, CSGO, Siege, etc. nobody can pin the problem on the game itself

  • Tobweoo Tobweo #StopAsianHate (@Tobweoo) reported

    @MrCorruption4 csgo is a major esport and valves biggest source of money so they have a reason to update it also the problem is far worse on tf2. why put attention on thier problem child?

  • TenZOfficial TenZ / Tyson (SEN) (@TenZOfficial) reported

    As someone who used style 5 in csgo, really wish you could adjust the firing error so it could be tighter and didn’t look ridiculous on the operator. Only reason I am not using firing error

  • mniezuu Dudu Mniezuu (@mniezuu) reported

    @CSGO Amazing how many people are asking you to fix your **** garbage game because of the hackers, instead you guys are working on chickens. Amazing!

  • Vitzel33 schnitzel33 (@Vitzel33) reported

    @PolarStar64 @RealGermanPeter You dont ever actively talk with other players on rust, so the applicable games are csgo and garrys mod, and gmod is easy to avoid toxicity. just don’t pretend that tf2 is a massive problem when its gaming communities that have the problem

  • Dwergje Dwergje (@Dwergje) reported

    @zeyleth @CSGO I see no issues here, basically the same ranks

  • DrHepatitis 3D Perrito (@DrHepatitis) reported

    @Kid23Lit @RealGermanPeter No he doesn't. Every gaming community has this problem, yeah it's awful but it's completely unrelated to the lack of updates. If that was the case, every active online Valve game (Like CSGO or Dota) wouldn't get updates. There's no correlation to the two points he made.

  • ruijikisu 2B plush 🍓🥔💕 (@ruijikisu) reported

    @IchiMilkBread tbf csgo is also very oldschool, just not an arena shooter. im not used to having that many weapons and i kinda end up underusing some, which in the first doom got me in ammo trouble, in eternal the changed chainsaw mechanic makes it kind of a viable playstyle

  • Nukey1945 Nukey (@Nukey1945) reported

    @RealGermanPeter Im serious, csgo is as toxic yet gets updated all the time. toxicity isnt just a problem in tf2, its a problem in almost every FPS game. And saying toxicity is the reason why tf2 doesnt get updated ignores how valve works as a company with its horizontal organization.

  • Zantetsu_UAE vSlash| Albanna (@Zantetsu_UAE) reported

    Lost more than 20 game because of the spinners! @csgo Fix ur game god damit

  • xhemixhemi1 xhemixhemi (@xhemixhemi1) reported

    @CSGO you guys are a bot company! you cant do anything against cheater. you are bad combany. all the readers here pls dont play csgo till they fix the cheater problems! EVERY ROUUND only cheater and muted player!!

  • boristennebroek Roodle (@boristennebroek) reported

    @lillahi1 @launders @SicK_cs I mean yes if you want to take that effort and if you even know about the service, sure. There are still a lot of casual CS:GO players that don’t even know about FaceIT or just rather play matchmaking than FaceIT

  • DinkEamy eamy roshe (@DinkEamy) reported

    @RealGermanPeter what is this awful hot take? are you trying to tell me that TF2 has a bigger toxic fanbase than CSGO and DOTA? this is definitely not the reason why Valve have left TF2 to collect dust lmao. it's almost as if Valve's communication issue have affected multiple of their games.

  • SFlumpp SquishyFlumpp (@SFlumpp) reported

    @ownrocker I have this issue, I enjoy csgo. But i dont play anymore cus noone else wants to play lul. Solo queuing was awful.....

  • beat_crazey Beat Crazey (@beat_crazey) reported

    @Luckyjust1y @JakeSucky @valvesoftware Keep in mind that Source 2 is not the end all be all solution for CSGO. Pretty much every single major issue with the game can be fixed in Source 1. If there's a Source 2 that they find useful, they can simply backport it over (like Panorama).

  • KStukans Karlis Stukans (@KStukans) reported

    @PlayVALORANT @LiquidValorant Fix ur servers, we don't need new updates, only what people want is to be fixed servers. Ask advice from CS:GO how they maked servers.

  • dvoteDgaMr dvoteDgaMr (@dvoteDgaMr) reported

    @CSGO fukin fix your cheat engine

  • DappyHayz ʟɪᴢ •◡• (@DappyHayz) reported

    @GrimValorant its always an ugly fat version of a default csgo crosshair with firing error turned on LOLLL

  • dhevarsh Dhev (@dhevarsh) reported

    @JRelzi @JakeSucky No I'm arguing that its not any more appealing to csgo based on its merits, but rather because its just less broken.

  • beat_crazey Beat Crazey (@beat_crazey) reported

    My YouTube channel has pretty much been abandoned... I do have some video ideas though! - Tutorials: porting Source 1 content to Source 2 (maps, models, materials, sounds, and even SFM projects) - Some lucky CSGO and TF2 clips with decent editing - CSGO DM god mode glitch

  • NightwereY nightwere (@NightwereY) reported

    @CSGO please fix anti cheat pleaseeee

  • benoc7x ben (@benoc7x) reported

    @JakeSucky Nothing Valve do can fix the fact their neglect ran Counter Strike into the ground, as someone who prefers CS Valorant is a far better game with far better developers

  • BirdTickler Birdtickler (@BirdTickler) reported

    @boba918 Yeah I just don’t see why that’s an issue I guess. Schedule a bit looser. CS:GO manages it with the same round based gameplay

  • _marketflowers allison (@_marketflowers) reported

    @zaannzz That is a issue. It doesn’t even sound like the kid is even getting a chance to grow into the team. It sounds NA CSGO mentality of “if it doesn’t work immediately than scrap it all and find a new player/team that will give us immediate results”

  • OfficialStanK_ Stan karahalios (@OfficialStanK_) reported

    @floppyCSGO There is only two things better about valorant, It’s ranking system and anti-cheat. If valve can fix they’re broken MM system and their anti cheat software csgo will wel and truly be back in business

  • curlymunk_ crulymunk (@curlymunk_) reported

    @floppyCSGO Sorry but no. Csgo has a higher skill ceiling, cheaper cosmetics, and less rng and balance issues. I like both games but I think csgo has the advantage here.
