Diagnosing Connection and Server Issues
Quick Answer: Ping test and speed check for diagnosis. Restart router. Distinguish client vs server issues.
Diagnose connection issues: run ping test to CS2 servers (use netstat or ping), check internet speed test, restart router, check ISP status. Diagnose server issues: if entire team experiences lag, server problem likely. If solo lag, client problem likely. Report consistent server issues to Valve.
