  • billyrazerrrrr billy (@billyrazerrrrr) reported

    @CounterStrike fix ur game man, it’s unplayable and unbearable rn, stop worrying about the skins and in game purchases and worry bout the stuff that people actually want (eg anti cheat), listen to ur community ffs

  • ShadmanHabib024 Shadman Habib (@ShadmanHabib024) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike yes facing this issue for almost 2 days

  • altay91_ Salih (@altay91_) reported

    @CounterStrike you ****** up the servers. bad. game is laggy and keep giving low frame errors and telemetric values are going red non stop.

  • ThourCS2 Thour (@ThourCS2) reported

    @Fr3kh @CounterStrike Didn't got this for months... was only a community server problem back then, now it's showing up on Valve official servers.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @EddieJarosz @CounterStrike @valvesoftware With 7-9ms ping and solid Waveform results, your connection looks great—likely not the culprit. Slow server frames could stem from high CPU usage, outdated drivers, or Valve's end (recent reports on Reddit note similar post-update issues). Try: update GPU drivers, cap FPS at 120-240, or run "net_graph 1" in console to monitor. If it persists, share your PC specs for more tailored advice?

  • CAJUN_CS CAJUN (@CAJUN_CS) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Yeah same, the concept of sub-tick is cool but so far it's been diminishing the quality of the game. NASA PC can't even fix the outcome of these performance issues either.

  • ElgrosalesAriel Pablonche (@ElgrosalesAriel) reported

    @jef_cs2 @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike The focus of "major" updates, with a cover and Steam page explaining the patch, is mostly on skins, stickers, and other money-making things. Meanwhile, a timid wave of bans cheers us up after two years of playing. Valve isn't rushing to fix its game like other companies

  • ForTheWinItIs ThisIsAPerson (@ForTheWinItIs) reported

    @CounterStrike FIX THE ANTICHEAT FOR ***** SAKE

  • iamalicena Shaikh Ali (@iamalicena) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike I have also been facing my vsync not working if i switch apps during game. And it starts working randomly again after a while.

  • MadLobsterMan TheMadLobsterMan (@MadLobsterMan) reported

    @pricempire @CounterStrike Sold one yesterday for 38 and one today for 13 so I made my fix for the update 😭. Free $51

  • warpticmo WarpticMo (@warpticmo) reported

    @CounterStrike FIX KARAMBIT INSPECT ANIMATION PLZZZZZZ .. unplayable for me, feels like trash

  • astrowaree astro (@astrowaree) reported

    @CounterStrike @valvesoftware 3.)  aim punch also doesnt account for ping. you can be shooting and the server will just apply punch to your view and make you miss before its networked to you 4.) when you recieve a prediction error, it takes comically long for the game to fix it. the convar is set to 200ms

  • _Shdwz Shdwz ♤ (@_Shdwz) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Liked this more than whatever the hell they did to fix it

  • Rayrolevrai Rayro (@Rayrolevrai) reported

    @CounterStrike The game is super laggy please fix; the game was fine before the genesis collection…

  • dz_sfn Sfn (@dz_sfn) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike the game is freezing a lot , crashes , pc freeze when i enter a server or disconnect , i think i'm two updates away from not being able to play this mess again

  • MagJellie MagMatti (@MagJellie) reported

    @theycallmespec @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Your own problem

  • CommaCommon CommonComma🏎 (@CommaCommon) reported

    @FURIOUSSScs @CounterStrike Anti-cheat, fix min 1% fps issue and bring back 128 tick. The game would be fire.

  • jurdajrd Jiří Skryja (@jurdajrd) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Me also, trouble with servers.

  • TartauViiz TartauViiz (@TartauViiz) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Yes happened to me yesterday with some really bad packet loss. The packet loss was probably related to my own internet connection but after fixing the packet loss issue I still had the slow server frame issue mostly in DM with a lot of players. I played 1 game in comp without it.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @EddieJarosz @CounterStrike @valvesoftware You're right—net_graph was removed in CS2. Instead, go to Settings > Game > Telemetry, and set FPS, Ping, etc., to "Always" to display them in the top right. This provides similar monitoring. If issues continue, what are your PC specs?

  • csgo_freshhh Freshnl (@csgo_freshhh) reported

    @CounterStrike Make money above fix a working game. Beta game sinds 3 year

  • Celo6128 Celal (@Celo6128) reported

    What happens with the spray ? @CounterStrike its horrible now! Pls fix.

  • yunggcharless charlie (@yunggcharless) reported

    @Doritos_R6 @FURIOUSSScs @CounterStrike you deadass have no idea what you're talking about lmao, cs2 did not fix 80% of any issues, it made the game worse.

  • _palmitu =PALMITu (@_palmitu) reported

    @ThourCS2 @CounterStrike Someone posted this on the forum when I talked about the shots being weird after yesterday. "If your latency is above 60 - when you toggle the statistics from options, it always spamming for subtick desync error. So, i think the game more broken now, i tried to play now on server with 80+ latency and yes - i can't even hit, the subtick is completely broken."

  • reac_ts Turza (@reac_ts) reported

    @CounterStrike crazy how quickly they can fix issues when it comes to negatively impacting their income...

  • XeilaSS XeilaS (@XeilaSS) reported

    @iamcs2kitchen @CounterStrike And btw, i would like to point at something, but for somes reason, i feel like that every stutter from the servers influence fps in general and synchronisation between each players to a point that i feel like the game is trying to compensate this issues by sending more fps

  • youin240p “bang” (@youin240p) reported

    @FURIOUSSScs @CounterStrike Here’s what needs to happen. Around 20-30 pros need to draft a statement. This statement needs to either be mailed to Valve HQ in Bellvue, or email blasted so they have to see it. This statement should have every issue we have and what needs to be addressed NOW. They MUST LISTEN

  • osirisawp Osíris (@osirisawp) reported

    @ThourCS2 @_palmitu @CounterStrike And the DM have a problem with spawn sounds. It doesnt work properly

  • astrowaree astro (@astrowaree) reported

    hey @CounterStrike @valvesoftware Game fixes 1.) velocity override when carrying a hostage is not properly simulated resulting in many prediction errors 2.) bullet slow doesnt account for ping, literally every time you get shot in the game you have a prediction error (1/2)

  • KeINeRwa Oonytuk (@KeINeRwa) reported

    @Andy_Santorini @CounterStrike Hey, I had this problem for a while now, if you try disabling fullscreen opti., that worked for me. Go into game properties, compatibility, try to enable/disable to see if it works for you.
