Why You Get Connection Issues with CSGO

Counter-Strike players around the world are complaining about being disconnected from the game sometimes. Or not being able to connect at all. Why does this happen?

On one hand, this may originate in CSGO server issues. To make sure nothing is wrong with those, just check out Stean’s stats for CS:GO for updates.

However, if you get CSGO connection issues, most likely it’s your connectivity you have to investigate. Cloud-based games are very sensitive to unreliable internet connections. Even though the contract with your ISP state that you should have a certain speed and uptime, things are not always like that. Any temporary network issue on the ISP’s side can hinder your Counter-Strike experience.

Fix Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Connection Problems with Speedify

Whether you are running CSGO on your computer or on your game console, Speedify solves the problem of slow, unreliable internet. You can fix CSGO connection problems very easy! How? By unleashing the full capabilities of your device!

By default, computers only connect to the internet through one connection at a time. You are either connected through a cellular signal, through Wi-Fi, or through Ethernet. Speedify allows your device to connect to the internet using multiple internet connections simultaneously. It increases the bandwidth you have available, which can help fix connectivity problems in CSGO.

If you’re playing Counter-Strike on your computer, you can combine your home network Internet with a public WiFi or a 4G / LTE dongle. If you’re playing from your game console, you can share the Speedify bonded VPN connection over WiFi to your gaming device using a Windows PC.

Speedify also has auto failover. When it detects a signal is weak or spotty–like when you’re playing CSGO on your commute to work–it reroutes all the data through the working connection(s). This gives you a smooth, uninterrupted connection without any network lag detected. Once the other connection is available again, Speedify automatically tosses it back into the mix.

Remember – Speedify is a bonding VPN – this means that it encrypts all traffic from your device. If you’re trying to play from restricted network such as schools, workplace or other public places, you should be able to do that while running Speedify. The network restrictions will not be applied, as the traffic will be invisible to the filters, as well as to any network admin.
