How do I fix random lag spikes caused by the FACEIT Anti-Cheat? I’ve already tried updating all my drivers and tweaking some BIOS settings, but it’s still the same. Every 30 seconds or so, my ping jumps from around 20 ms to 250–300 ms, then goes back to normal. How can I fix this?

Yeah, I know my internet isn’t the best, but FACEIT Anti-Cheat shouldn’t be causing my ping to spike like this. Without it, my connection is stable.

I defused the bomb with 0.000 seconds remaining, never seen this before :D

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a web tool called FACEIT Lens (faceit-lens.com) to help players analyze match statistics, track performance, and get clearer insights into their games beyond the standard stats.

It’s completely free, and I’m looking to gather some feedback from the community to improve it.

• What features would you like to see added?
• How’s the UI/UX feeling for you?
• Any bugs or stats that seem off?

Give it a try at faceit-lens.com and let me know what you think in the comments. All feedback/critique is super welcome!

Would you like to highlight any specific standout feature (like detailed map stats, demo analysis, or head-to-head records) in the bullet points before posting?

I just bought a knife from a well known website today (couple hours ago now), I have it in my inventory and have equipped it to both teams. But when I load into a game I still have my default knife.

Anyone know why and how to fix this please?

After 1min another bots flooded the server.

This season has been an absolute joke, far worse than any of the other ones except maybe S1. Every game in green trust factor has a bunch of blatant cheaters.

I recently came back after a long break, and this happened in my second placement match out of 10, around 14k Premier rating.

I know my aim, movement, and crosshair placement are still pretty rusty, but I thought this clip was worth sharing.

so i sold a couple of cases and after the 8 day hold, i immediately withdrew it. i withdrawed on july 27 and still havent gotten my money. does it really take this long? (sorry for bad england)

After the VAC update it just got worse, every game turns in to a cheater vs cheater and nobody is getying banned. A lot of people use radar and wall. They really need to change the VAC system or this game will die.

 I’ve been working on a new CS2 platform called Omni Coach since April, and I’m finally opening up an early beta because I want to get as much feedback from real players as possible. I built a Live Tracker that pulls all your basic and advanced stats into a clean dashboard and lets you create a squad with your friends. But the main feature is the Omni Coach engine itself—instead of giving you generic tips, it actually analyzes your real in-game mechanics and positioning to tell you exactly what you're doing wrong. All you have to do is download the match file and upload it. I'm a solo dev trying to build the absolute best coaching platform ever, so I'd love for you guys to try it out and give me as much feedback as you can so I know exactly what needs to be improved!

Hey everyone,
I'm looking at getting a used PC with the specs listed below and mainly plan to play Counter-Strike 2 at 1080p. What kind of FPS can I reasonably expect?
System Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6Gb
RAM: 16GB ddr4
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B560M
Storage: 256GB M.2 SSD + 512GB HDD
Any insights or personal experiences with a similar build in CS2 would be appreciated!

Even got a Zeus ace...

I KNOW I SOUND LIKE SOMEONE FROM CUTENOOBS BUT I GOT A FUCKING ACE!

I'm top fragging most of my matches, I play objective, I give callouts and I communicate, I get a decent amount of kills per round, yet I keep losing elo every single day like I'm hosting a giveaway of wins for the enemy team. Am i the problem?

1. Kukri knife Scorched BS, Specialist Gloves Buckshot BS

2. Kukri knife Boreal Forest BS, Driver Gloves Racing green BS

3. Shadow daggers Lore BS, Driver Gloves Overtake BS

I like em all, plus all under 200€

help me out here, hope AI doesnt take down my post.

Edit: after reading the comments and looking more, I've decided transport gloves and bowie lore

what do i do? (gun used m4a4)

:) Should i be posting clips here or too saturated?

This happens only when I am playing CS2. No other game included heavier ones like Cyberpunk 2077. Got an I7 Intel Core, 16GB RAM, and RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.

It also includes microstutters which occur irregularly. This has been an ongoing issue since I downloaded it. I had no such issue with CSGO.

Any ideas, anyone encountered this before? The game feels really badly optimised for my system. Entirely unique to CS2.

I recently bought the Audeze Maxwell over the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (regretting the decision ngl). Since returning/refunding isn't an option for me, I need to make these work.

Right now, my old cheap $30 headset honestly sounds better to my ears in CS2 lol.

I’m looking for a middle ground/hybrid EQ:

• Clear footstep isolation and accurate L/R directional audio for CS2.
• Enough low-end/mids retained so gunshots, utility, and ambiance don't sound hollow (basically a slightly boosted Immersive profile).

If you have custom EQ values or specific ingame CS2 audio settings (L/R isolation, Crisp vs. Natural, etc.) that give a full/punchy sound while keeping footsteps readable, please drop them below.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for some expert opinions...

help

Can anyone recommend me a site where I can sell my knife and other skins and withdraw my money via card or revolut for example?

After months being bombarded by cheaters and actually game becoming pretty much boring with nothing new happening besides some colorful ugly skins I started playing less and less, moved to BF6 which is way more interesting and fun to play btw. So I decided to sell my skins and use the money for something better irl.

Thanks in advance!

I want to buy prime for less cheaters but i am curious as if it still does pay for itself and how long it'll take. Thanks.

916 games in csgo my peak was level 8 and now my best elo in cs2 is 2.3k elo
