Thanks for your patience while this is being addressed.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CS2 (@CounterStrike) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CounterStrike\/status\/1707521891236446534?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 28, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>After its release, millions of gamers faced difficulties accessing matchmaking lobbies.<\/p>\n<p>The root of the problem appears to be server capacity, with CS2 grappling to accommodate the surging player base on its opening day. <\/p>\n<p>Valve is well aware of these server issues and is actively working on a solution, which includes the addition of more servers in regions facing the most challenges. <\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s developers are also urging the community for patience during this time.<\/p>\n<p>On its opening day, CS2 managed to surpass an impressive 1.4 million concurrent players, coming within 400,000 of its peak five months ago, according to SteamDB. <\/p>\n<p>If the servers are already overcrowded, the situation may worsen over time.<\/p>\n<p>Since its full release, CS2 players have reported increasingly lengthy queue times, some even enduring hours of waiting without a game starting.<\/p>\n<p>These concerns prompted Valve to expand server capacity in various regions. <\/p>\n<p>However, server issues are not the only concern troubling the community.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have expressed worries about the lack of content, particularly the absence of features that were present in CS:GO. <\/p>\n<p>Elements like Danger Zone, achievements, Wingman mode, and workshop maps have yet to be added alongside the Source 2 update, leading many players to request more from Valve.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, players have reported encountering cheaters in their games, with prominent community members supporting these claims. <\/p>\n<p>This issue plagued CS:GO for a significant portion of its existence, and players had hoped that CS2&#8217;s new VAC-live system from Valve would address the cheating problem.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Valve has substantial work ahead to address the early challenges faced by CS2 and its server infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><a
