How to Fix CS:GO Connection Not Reliable Issue
Best answer
TechSavvyGamer
First, try restarting your router/modem, it's like giving your internet connection a fresh start. Also, check if your firewall or antivirus is blocking CS:GO by mistake; they can get overly protective sometimes. If that doesn't work, verify the integrity of game files on Steam â right-click CS:GO in your library, go to Properties, then Local Files, and hit 'Verify integrity of game files.' Sometimes the game files get corrupted, and this is like a health check-up for them.

Honestly, it sometimes just be your ISP having a bad day. If none of the above works, give them a call. You'd be surprised how often they're the culprit behind the 'connection not reliable' saga.

Flush your DNS! Open the command prompt and type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. It's like telling your computer to forget the wrong directions it's been stubbornly holding onto. Another quick fix is to change your DNS server; Google's 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 are solid choices. It's like switching to a faster highway when the one you're on is jam-packed.

Try connecting through a different network. If it works, then the problem likely lies with your original network. If you're on WiFi, also consider plugging directly into your modem with an Ethernet cable for a more stable connection. Wireless is convenient but can be unpredictable, like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks.
