Oh, the dreaded 'reliable connection' error, a classic! Firstly, restarting your router can work wonders. It's like giving your internet connection a fresh start. Also, try verifying the game files through Steam. Right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and hit 'Verify integrity of game files.' Sometimes files get corrupted and this can mess with your connection. Lastly, running CS:GO as an admin has helped some people. Right-click on CS:GO in your library, go to 'Properties,' find 'Local files,' click 'Browse,' right-click on the CS:GO executable, go to 'Properties,' then 'Compatibility,' and check 'Run this program as an administrator.' Hope one of these gets you back to defusing bombs!

Just use an Ethernet cable lol. WiFi is too unreliable for gaming.

Had this issue last month. Verified my game files and poof! Back to ranking up. Seriously, give it a try.
