CSGO Sticky thread

Yup also just tried a deathmatch, same 230ms ping. Plus on the community discussions lots of people are chiming in. So Hopefully somewhere someone will see this and fix it. Perhaps as mentioned the upgrade is not yet complete? Sigh here we go again, same as march.
 
They are probably still busy with upgrades, that's why they removed the local servers from the network config file.

Surely they won't decide to do the upgrades just before a weekend! That'd be kicking a hornets nest of angry young men with pseudo-military skills and time to burn :D Let's hope it's back on for tonight.

The last time it happened in March it was only fixed on Sunday iirc.

It's not just us, the local DOTA 2 servers are also offline.

and I found this on reddit:

"Additional capacity is now available for South African servers for additional games or GOTV relays."

While the bomb is being carried it's not visible to the enemy team, but when it's dropped and lying in the open then its position is blipping away on the enemy radars, right? So isn't that a case *not* to throw the bomb if you're close to your objective because it'll show the enemy exactly which bomb site you're at?

IIRC the enemy team can see the bomb carrier, it doesnt have to be dropped to be seen. what i do is if i have to peek and i have the bomb, i drop it off somewhere safely first before peeking to give as little info as possible

What do you mean did they destroy our servers by accident?

They are busy with upgrades, it'll be done when it's done, bad timing doing it over the weekend but we'll be better off once it's finished.

I come from a world (banking/telecommunications) where your SLA is 6 minutes downtime a year, so my brain cannot compute this kind of migration yet :)

Yes, they have to see the bomb on the ground or on someone's back before it shows up on radar.

I've done that thing a couple of times where I go in as entry fragger and drop the bomb...ruins the round big-time. Learned not to very quickly.

5-9 uptime for the win. Same here in financial services...each second of downtime has a Rand value attached to it.

Yup, even for Valve I'm sure (all that sweet skin money :P) doesn't do well for the colour of my hair though

Thanks, will do that, and looking forward to the master class :) Speaking of crosshairs, I changed my crosshair mode to 'Static Standard' (the default had been Dynamic). Was that good or bad? I also ended up selecting a crosshair style that changes to a cross if it's a teammate in front of me rather than an enemy, it maybe doesn't help that much except for distant enemies.

All that I can say is, you may use the in-game assists until you are familiar and confident, but in the long-term these will only serve as distractions. cl_crosshairstyle 5 will help you train your timings.

Go do Arms Races against Soul Assassin, win a match.
