It often happens that we want to play matchmaking, but the screen shows a blue network connection bar. In most cases, we are left with nothing to do but wait, and here’s why. By visiting the Steam Status service, we can easily check not only the overall functionality of Steam but also the status of CS2 servers.
If you see that everything is fine, you should look for problems with your internet provider. Sometimes, there are issues with one of the important gateways, and the network cannot reroute. By the way, when the route is successfully reconfigured, you may experience unusually high ping. In such cases, there’s nothing you can do either.
If you’re too lazy to call your provider’s support, a good way to confirm if the issue is on your end is to check the connection quality using a third-party service. One practical option is packetlosstest.com. Besides CS2, it includes many other games and services.
If everything looks fine but CS2 still doesn’t work, in most cases, the problem is not on your end. In this case, you just need to wait.
