Counter Strike (CS:GO) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Bjscool Michael (@Bjscool) reported

    @Pimp_CSGO it's a pretty **** thread tbh. most matches last about 3 hours long and that's not really a problem. looking at the extremes isn't going to help viewership and csgo will always have really extreme times because of OT.

  • GoBillsTrent Bills/Canes/Knicks/Yanks (@GoBillsTrent) reported

    Is there a CSGO DraftKings error or did I seriously just leave @BlackWidow and check my phone to see I took down ANOTHER CSGO tourney in two weeks time?!?!?! I need proof man! I was in 82nd place looking like it wouldn’t move all that much last time I checked w/ 1 rd left

  • RIGVEDA_IX Rui ॐ kee/OMNIA 😼 (@RIGVEDA_IX) reported

    @tomi @CSGO For Bo3 MR12 would be good, and for Bo1 MR15 would be better. Problem is, you can't have both. Also, MR12 and MR9 was trash, let's not repeat the mistakes of the past.

  • tomi Tomi (@tomi) reported

    @JetTrash @CSGO For NHL that’s only playoffs and one game doesn’t delay others (plus, established sport/fan base); MLB is facing issues themselves, partly sue to insufferable game length (and again, said games don’t delay others, and the league/teams are profitable)

  • Spacebar2018 -qtCSGO (@Spacebar2018) reported

    @TheWarOwl Tech pauses and ad breaks between OT halfs is not really counter strike. Too much waiting between the playtime is the biggest problem imo.

  • launders lau MR12 enjoyer (@launders) reported

    People who are saying this is a non-issue can’t explain why and how games have gotten longer and probably watch highlights of CS:GO matches while people produce every second of them for 11+ hour days. Unfortunate problem where the community likely can’t feel the problem as much.

  • Cxmozz Diego Gutierrez (@Cxmozz) reported

    @jonasgundersen @ESL @CSGO also people that live in america have to watch most cs games (considering they’re mostly in eu and such nowadays) at 1am-12 pm and a lotta people have jobs from that time idk how to fix that but i can barely watch any cs anymore bc of it and i’m sure there’s plenty more of us :(

  • alienvfx alien (@alienvfx) reported

    @SightCfg tbf i mostly play older games like cod 4 and csgo i run at 4:3 streched so i dont think its gna be a problem to get a higher res monitor

  • ficagames11 ficagames11 (@ficagames11) reported

    @tomi @CSGO I think core problem is oversaturation. TOs spamming tournaments every 2 weeks, there is only so many Navi vs Gambit finals people are willing to watch

  • nolagcs lag (@nolagcs) reported

    mr15, mr12 I don't care, the issue has been economy for a while since they last tweaked the losing bonus. #csgo #IEMCologne

  • pplmao0 yvonne. (@pplmao0) reported

    @xotobs THAT DOESNT FIX MY CSGO SKILLS SAKJDASDGHA

  • Tim25263638 Tim (@Tim25263638) reported

    @CSGO Vac and Overwatch can you please make this game paided again we need to crack down the cheaters. You are ruining your own damn game by allowing ******* cheaters who get banned get no punishment what so ever and make a new for free. If you dont make a fix your game will die

  • piiineyxo kinda pine 🌲 kinda cone 🚬 (@piiineyxo) reported

    @tomi @CSGO the current save-heavy meta is exacerbating the issue. imo you could massively cut down on game time by severely reducing the end of round bonus for ct's that survive a losing round, forcing more retake attempts. maybe increase ct win bonus or reduce other costs to keep balance.

  • tomi Tomi (@tomi) reported

    @HeathcliffCS @CSGO if you dont fix the viewership trends, you wont have anyone playing it professionally some years down the line. also: have you ever actually played tournaments in mr12?

  • JetTrash happynigel (@JetTrash) reported

    @tomi @CSGO From an NA sports fan's perspective I don't really see a problem with it. For example, it's not unusual for an NHL playoffs game to go to multiple overtimes lasting several hours. Hell even a regular season MLB game can last indefinitely.

  • SPRINGLOCK217 the springlock (1358 days, no updates) (@SPRINGLOCK217) reported

    which is worse? -valve's anticheat (tf2 and csgo aimbot issues) -respawn's security (titanfall and apex issues) -rockstar's customer service (gta v modder issues)

  • Marcelderon Marcel (@Marcelderon) reported

    @Tassyboy1 @Respawn @PlayApex Valorant: Almost no issues. Overwatch: Stable all the time. Fortnite: Still running decent. And CSGO? Just fine. Respawn is so ******* bad that half of this season has been offline. And when have they actually fixed the root of the issue? If other games can do it so can Apex.

  • TheWarOwl WarOwl (@TheWarOwl) reported

    @TheDavidGoforth Valorant is based on CS1.6 not CS:GO, and has come along and fixed almost every issue CS:GO has had. It's not a bad thing to learn from what another game is doing, that's the power of competition. Notice the change in crosshairs when spectating, that's directly from Valorant.

  • RIGVEDA_IX Rui ॐ kee/OMNIA 😼 (@RIGVEDA_IX) reported

    @tomi @CSGO For Bo3 MR12 would be good, and for Bo1 MR15 would be better. Problem is, you can't have both. Also, MR12 and MR9 were trash, let's not repeat the mistakes of the past.

  • bobbytuxCS Bobbytux (@bobbytuxCS) reported

    @tomi @JetTrash @CSGO You're tackling the wrong beast and it's a ******* tragedy tbh. Like how would making the series more approachable at all solve current profit problems????? Eleague was dirt cheap tv for Turner that didn't underperform the time slot that badly or even at all at times. Canceled.

  • itsyaboikel Kel/O 🇵🇭 (@itsyaboikel) reported

    People saying CSGO is dead, it's not dead. VALORANT is just better when it comes to patches/updates bc the meta changes + cool stuffs + tournament with awesome prize money. Especially the devs are listening when there are problems/bugs in the game. EZ Clap for the devs.

  • tomi Tomi (@tomi) reported

    4/ So, what's the problem then, you might ask? Active Counter-Strike player base has roughly doubled since mid-2019, but the viewer numbers are flat to down. That is potentially catastrophic, especially seeing as @CSGO is doing more to promote tournaments in-game.

  • Pimp_CSGO Jacob "****" Winneche (@Pimp_CSGO) reported

    Look I'm not saying mr15 is bad, nor am I saying mr12 is the best. We have a problem with CS:GO maps lasting too long, and the absolute worst part is most don't seem to have a clue about why that's even remotely an issue... The solution? Let's figure that out together

  • bobbytuxCS Bobbytux (@bobbytuxCS) reported

    @tomi @JetTrash @CSGO That zoom competitor that got deleted from the face of the earth, movie pass, all enjoy massive growth with no monetization. It's literally the VC special, the problem is they have no chump to exit onto like in traditional startup funding. So they instead bring in money and hope

  • wasian2564 Wasian (@wasian2564) reported

    @freeskinscom There's not really anything to add there is so much variety. The only thing that I can think of is OCE Steam Giftcards but its not even that much of an issue cause we have CSGO skins.

  • SirSukhdeep Kimono Dragon (@SirSukhdeep) reported

    @tomi @GoranMono @CSGO I prefer shorter games too. With games starting at 7:30pm and ending at 4am for me, its difficult for me to stay up late when i have to wake up early the next day. The problem isn't timing, rather the duration. The last time i watched every game of event was kato 2020

  • launders boxr_lau (@launders) reported

    @tomi @CSGO its the cleanest solution too a messy problem with a lot of baggage. lets do it.

  • SueMireles Rebecca Sue Mireles (@SueMireles) reported

    @OscarRomeo1268 @TradewindVoyage Cool nope it is beautiful but still could have traveled regardless as well as invested to fact people are keeping reform on counter strike suit is BS crazy smooth sailing hope no more virals in the works 😱 yup that's what I thought as well over what same problems be safe

  • cardinal8888 cardinal (@cardinal8888) reported

    yo is there any fix to this ****: EVERY time I get disconnected from the friends network when playing CS:GO my game COMPLETELY freezes. Can't even alt-tab or anything🧐

  • Pimp_CSGO Jacob "****" Winneche (@Pimp_CSGO) reported

    @TheWarOwl Tech problems are never optimal, but they’re happening far less often, and would happen regardless of mr12/15 Round time, bomb time, molotovs, smokes, mr15/12, 4x Tactical timeouts, breaks between half’s. Focus on what’s consistently making the CSGO games long.
