Most Counter-Strike 2 problems have quick fixes. Work through this guide before opening a ticket, and you will solve most issues yourself.
First checks
- Open the Console and read the most recent messages, errors usually point straight at the cause.
- Try a Restart from the panel.
- Check the CPU and RAM graphs, constant high usage means you need a bigger plan.
- Make sure the game and any plugins are up to date.
Common problems and fixes
- The server shows as insecure. This is normal when running plugins, VAC is disabled on community servers.
- Plugins are not working. Confirm Metamod loaded first with
meta list, then check the framework loaded. - Players cannot connect. Check the game ports and that the server finished starting.
