Thread: Steam CS connection problems

Hi guys,

Im on a 512kbps connection and am having trouble playing counter strike on steam. It keeps disconnecting from the server after 1-2 mins of joining, without giving me any error msg. What could be the reason? the internet seems to be fine when this happens.

The reason is greater pings which can be improved by stopping all the downloads and all background work that is going on with internet.

Gagan, thx for ur reply. My ping is around 60-70 during gameplay, which is pretty decent compared to other players. Also, there is absolutely nothing running in the background (not even messenger programs)

i also use steam and my id is talktoanil

well, i am using BSNL n get ping around 20-40 on all servers....did u get any error msg of CS ?
n when u get DC from CS , is your net working ? does game freezes ?

i think u can post it on steam commmunity so that they can check your error log files of CS and help accordingly

I dont get any error msg. It just disconnects and goes back to the main menu. My net works fine after im disconnected. The game does not freeze. It allows me to join the server again.

I'll try posting on the steam community. If anyone has any suggestions, plz feel free to post. Thanks.

any other suggestions?? im still waiting for a response at steam forums too....

Try advanced Net speeder `s Ping option to ping the server you select to play.
It may decrease the ping.
