How to choose server location in CS:GO
Best answer
TechGuruDave
Choosing server location in CS:GO is a bit tricky since the game doesn't let you directly pick a server location in the settings. The best way to get a server near you is by using the 'Max Acceptable Matchmaking Ping' slider in the game settings. Lowering this setting will make the game prioritize servers with lower ping, which usually means they're closer to you. So if you're looking to play in servers near your location, adjust this slider to limit the maximum ping. Keep tweaking till you find the sweet spot!

Honestly, it's all about that matchmaking ping setting. I cranked mine way down and started getting matches that felt like they were right next door. Feels like I'm playing on a local LAN, it's so smooth.

Honestly, just move to where the servers are. Problem solved. 😉

Ain't no direct way to pick your CS:GO server location like you're ordering off a menu. But, lowering your 'Max Acceptable Matchmaking Ping' in the settings does the trick. Tighten that number up, and you're more likely to land in a game that's in your neck of the woods. Short and sweet.
